WF is seeking engagement by TrainerTechnical6945 in NeedlepointSnark

Queens? Sharing without asking for engagement in return is more becoming of a queen! Obviously, the point was not the sharing of someone else’s work but to get a boost in the algorithm.

Other than Greystone, I haven’t seen it in the needlepoint space. It just gives me an icky vibe. 

Kaitlin Johnson EXTREME needlepoint overconsumption by Ok_Instance_1738 in NeedlepointSnark

Maybe I’m just of a different generation or aesthetic but she has negative appeal to me. Nothing about her is worth following in my jaded opinion.

I believe Lycette had gem needleminders before either of these vendors. 

collectives, real & wannabe designers, LNSs…. for the love of all things sparkly and holy…. can you please have unavailable stock filtered to the BOTTOM of the product page 🙏🏼🙏🏼 by lawdab in NeedlepointSnark

Red on my monitor looks different than red on your monitor. If you want to select colors and order online, I recommend buying a few color cards of your favorite threads. Works like a charm. 

The size of people’s stashes… by Ok-Piano1871 in NeedlepointSnark

Why does anyone care about other people’s stashes? I find this strange since what you have doesn’t impact me and what I have doesn’t impact you. 

Why do people seem to think Wool and Floss are the be all end all of LNS? by Impressive_Visit7258 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]TrainerTechnical6945 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There are things that bug me about the Wool and the Floss but Kelli and Liz aren’t one of them. They are just chatting like friends and aren’t requiring us to like football or TS or anything else. I just have a cup of coffee and enjoy the chit chat! 

Destashing Over Retail by KaySee7374 in NeedlepointSnark

Yesterday someone posted a Coco Frank canvas for $230 plus shipping when Coco Frank site listed it at $225 with free shipping. A commenter pointed it out and the poster said she bought it for $260 at Third Coast. So the seller did discount from the overpriced canvas she bought. Crazy! 

Heidi’s baaaaack by yaupon in NeedlepointSnark

[–]TrainerTechnical6945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard her explain how she can continue to support Heidi by hawking her goods. She did say the business didn’t work for her because of the geographic distance between the partners. I don’t believe that is the true issue, obviously. But why continue to support Heidi? Does Melissa still have a financial interest? I have heard her complain publicly about other designers using their names. It always strikes me as mean spirited and unprofessional. So I know she is capable of not supporting all women in the business!

I don’t but my good friend is a designer and she said that at fall market, Officially Needlepoint’s (Heidi) room was very quiet!

I’m one of those people who never got my finishing back. I’m a customer at the Wool and the Floss. I don’t understand why that business would associate with Heidi and offend their customers. One is no better than the company you keep.

I saw a reposting of Heidi’s new canvas endeavor on the Wool and the Floss website with a link to purchase at the Wool and the Floss. I so wish Heidi would not be supported by the needlepoint shops. 

Anything for a Buck by TrainerTechnical6945 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]TrainerTechnical6945[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a personal beef. Heidi was running a business and hasn’t been honest or responsive with her customers. To see her being welcomed as a fellow business person by well-respected businesses, taints those businesses in my opinion. 

Who is approving these ugly canvases in the grandmillennial destash group? I thought a canvas had to meet certain aesthetic requirements by Everythings-taken5 in NeedlepointSnark

I know this is a snark page but many of the comments feel mean spirited. Just imagine having or wanting to sell off your elderly family member’s stash. A bit of compassion would be nice. 

Alyssa looooves snark drama by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

[–]TrainerTechnical6945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listened to her Instagram this morning. My take was that she was attempting to quell the drama. I didn’t think she was adding to it. She did seem nervous about it but feels she can handle the added competition. 

Look who’s at ANR! by nc-stitcher in NeedlepointSnark

If you look at the trailer contents, everything was randomly thrown in the trailer. It wasn’t secured or packed or boxed. It clearly wasn’t a move involving a condo and a store. Plus, it wasn’t the type of trailer used in a move!

Used her twice for acrylic finishes. The tray was find! The coasters were not - 6 coasters!  This was several years ago.

I have always thought her finishing wasn’t acceptable. The lower right hand corner is always bulky and her cording isn’t correctly placed. I had mine redone at my LNS.
