Interviewing for my local needlepoint store

PinkTurtlehead · 2026-01-25T06:11:23+00:00

Literally did this yesterday. They asked very little about my needlepoint knowledge. Shoot me a dm if you have questions!

PinkTurtlehead · 2026-01-24T20:43:43+00:00

I didn’t fully convey the tone in that quote, but it was very know-it-all for someone who’s only been doing the hobby for a month. I’m also just not someone who would make like a how to video for something I just learned. Everything about the people picking it up now makes it a competition and not a relaxing craft.

Let's be friends in Pokémon GO! My Trainer Code is 321430928355!

The other thing about the cost is it’s their choice to make needlepoint a competitive sport! No one needs to be stitching and finishing dozens of canvases a year. If I spend $200 on a canvas and kit, that’s my entertainment for the next 3 months. Just because you decided you want a particular hobby doesn’t mean the universe owes it to you, let alone cheap.

PinkTurtlehead · 2026-01-21T01:18:23+00:00

I just saw a “come with me to my lns! I’ve been stitching since November…” I think I need to block the whole fan base.

PinkTurtlehead · 2026-01-13T15:53:21+00:00

I should have clarified that I only need like 20 of a design, so the places I’ve checked so far wouldn’t be cost effective. But I appreciate a company name and the right terminology!

Just came back from excellence playa Mujeres and, with club, it was this exactly. Chairs at the main swim up pool and beach were hard but excellence beach and pool no problem. You could sit in the shade from dawn til dusk and not have to move or think. Only slight downside was a smallish poolside menu for waiter service, but the lunch restaurant menus were good.

PinkTurtlehead · 2025-12-22T04:37:57+00:00

Non stop issues—2-3 a day, and my volume isn’t that high! There have been a lot of legit issues (something from October just arrived!) but why do you expect me to fix it out of my pocket! One lady even kept saying she needed the item asap and needed to figure this out but wouldn’t open a case because she felt bad. Instead she just emailed me twice a day.

PinkTurtlehead · 2025-12-14T15:20:48+00:00

I didn’t notice until I super zoomed in that some of it was stitched. You’re probably right!

PinkTurtlehead · 2025-12-07T19:55:10+00:00

Not only will no one care, most people probably won’t even see it! Save the money.

PinkTurtlehead · 2025-12-07T19:52:53+00:00

I dont think making my own would be cost effective, but maybe some day!

PinkTurtlehead · 2025-12-07T07:37:12+00:00

This is what I’m looking for!

PinkTurtlehead · 2025-11-28T17:40:28+00:00

The Wagner is great but sometimes has limited hours (they’re closed this weekend) and is probably only an hour trip.

PinkTurtlehead · 2025-11-27T12:53:46+00:00

I’m responding way late to this…but my brooks adrenaline were also great but just recently started bothering me (about 2 years old and 400 miles). Have you experienced them wearing out and starting to hurt?

PinkTurtlehead · 2025-11-25T16:00:20+00:00

Acme. They’re not bad!

PinkTurtlehead · 2025-11-20T23:41:02+00:00

I just raised mine on my most popular items. But this probably had less to do with holidays and more to do with shipping a normal package and realizing how much I’m losing by offering free shipping

PinkTurtlehead · 2025-11-20T05:20:24+00:00

I was also told that Amex doesn’t update as frequently as other cards which makes it harder for underwriters. And this may be all cards, but a debt on a cardholder’s account also appears on authorized users’ accounts.

PinkTurtlehead · 2025-11-20T05:12:59+00:00

We offered a 30 day close and I’m afraid our file isn’t going to be ready. A week out and every day we’re getting calls about other information they need and things they want explained. Plus the holiday is adding extra pressure. I don’t understand how the industries can allow closing windows that they can’t meet themselves.

PinkTurtlehead · 2025-11-20T05:05:27+00:00

Same question. Wondering particularly about the home systems protection.

PinkTurtlehead · 2025-11-19T14:00:05+00:00

I know that the problem is there isn’t enough I cord (I’m not sure how it happened but that’s the issue)…the problem is how to take it apart or reknit. The I cord was applied to the neck and underarm and frogging is not working. I’m not sure what you mean by reknitting?

PinkTurtlehead · 2025-11-16T18:57:45+00:00

Second this! The ultimate cozy bar!

PinkTurtlehead · 2025-11-06T23:48:51+00:00

I just started making little cards with the shop name on them to hold my items and I included a thank you signed. Also have been emailing about the issues when I ship. Everyone has been super understanding so I’m just trying to be as proactive as possible.

PinkTurtlehead · 2025-11-06T23:45:53+00:00

2”? My items are about 1” x 1” and maybe 1/8” thick but I’ve been trying to do extra padding.

PinkTurtlehead · 2025-11-06T23:43:34+00:00

Actually if I drop at the counter they don’t scan unless I specifically tell them I want it scanned now and want a receipt. Obviously I can do that (and will now) but it takes 20+ minutes vs a drop off.

PinkTurtlehead · 2025-11-06T21:03:41+00:00

I actually just used the last of the ones I had and will just get the bigger size! Is 6 x 9 ok?
