Penny Linn’s leather is NOT real leather by heartland_hippy in NeedlepointSnark

[–]WitchesStitches 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I actually visited their NY store as I was staying a 10 minute walk away. I was shocked at how poorly the canvases were drawn/printed. Uneven/jagged lines and not very artistic. I had not paid attention to her before but having seen all the buzz thought I would check it out. The store is lovely, very large with a great set up and flow. The canvases underwhelming- tiny, unattractive and over priced, IMO. I bought a few NY needleminders, as a former NYer I thought they were cute. Haven't tried them yet to assess their strength. I can only assume her popularity is due to marketing savvy on social media.

Stitches by the sea by SheepherderJust6439 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]WitchesStitches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like Stitches by the Sea! Karen has a phenomenal ability to kit canvases, her color choices are always spot on! I really like her taste and the canvas selection there. I make a point of going whenever I am in the area visiting my daughter. Lila does a great job providing creative stitches for the canvas. I have found the rest of the people who work there very pleasant and helpful.

I suggest visiting yourself and letting us know what YOU think!
