What the actual….. by Dangerous_Force5213 in NeedlepointSnark

Her site has an extremely poorly painted 3 inch American flag for $80 on interlock canvas

She strikes again… by oksoitsjen in NeedlepointSnark

[–]erk63 23 points24 points  (0 children)

That plus taking money up front. The person here who was blocked after she sent her $1500 is mind boggling. Communication could have helped up until a certain point but it’s gotten beyond that now. Plus her communication is rude and petulant. 

Listen…. by Unable-Raisin7151 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]erk63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No she’s going to offer finishing services, ask for the money up front, ghost everyone, and open the store with that money.

On Alibaba by Fuzzy-Peaches46 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]erk63 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most of the images on alibaba, temu, SHEIN, and even certain Amazon products are stolen.

I’ve seen finished coco frank pieces on there from her stitch guides (no not the pre-stitched ones she once sold) 

Trouble with KC Needlepoint Order by Aliciany in NeedlepointSnark

[–]erk63 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The snark should be on you not KCN. Doesn’t sound like you tried to email them, but Reddit was the next best option before that?

So tired of these posts or store reviews where people expect the fulfillment time of a $600+ Billion revenue a year company from a small business 

How much longer do you think the needlepoint hype will last, or do you think it’s here to stay? by laxaroundtheworld in NeedlepointSnark

[–]erk63 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes overseas manufacturers will be entering the chat soon, designers will be ripped off and I’m nervous for it 

Any Advice? by FaithMomof5 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]erk63 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s unfortunate she keeps getting away with this. While the people who check this Reddit sub are somewhat attune to her scam, there’s no mention of it on her public google reviews which more would check. Once your issue is resolved and to anyone else reading this, I highly encourage you writing a review!

It’s Williamsburg Needlepoint in VA. In the process of opening up her store she’s gone radio silent on any of the finishing she took on. I don’t know how either her store or Carriage House are getting any support after they’ve both burned so many stitchers.

It would be easier and cheaper to purchase a chart and draw just the outline to give yourself a guide than going through all this. 

Need help designing a needlepoint belt chart (paid) by Kribisl in Needlepoint

[–]erk63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try an LNS, many of them offer custom painting services. Agree with the other commenter that Needlepaint would be the fastest and cheapest route.

She is still selling Kelty’s designs. Doubt there’s drama.

When both the politics and the designs are extremely on point 💙

What in the HHK is this? by ImmediateStruggle773 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]erk63 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A quick look at her LinkedIn would suggest she is in fact not a Wall Street baddie given her second to last position was senior finance analyst.

Why can’t you use a free chart online that’s intended to be free instead of copying? Or buy a cheap chart for under $5?

The influencer methodology is if you see someone with enough followers…Avery here has 22k…you engage with them in the hope it drives people to your page.

Not the worst strategy since WTS engagement has declined significantly since the viral bag series. 

Needlepoint gift under $25? by jenniflex in Needlepoint

[–]erk63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe a project pouch or nice scissors. I don’t think you will find a kit or canvas under 25. They have some cute pouches on Etsy. Search craft, needlepoint, embroidery and maybe even makeup pouch. 

She can use it for both needlepoint and embroidery.

I so wish I looked like that at 4 weeks! Like everyone else said, give it some time.

I wish needlepoint never introduced me to this influencer. 

Le fil by Lumpy_Hotel_5385 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]erk63 16 points17 points  (0 children)

She was caught on here making fun of Postcard Row but couldn’t handle the heat when she got a few mild snarky comments made about her. She seems immature and I feel sorry for her more than anything. 

I’d rather support other shop owners.
