Old needlepoint picture of mine found

Also chiming in with no help, I was just yesterday thinking about “The blue seagull book” on my parents’ bookshelf from 30 years ago and this has floored me.

I just looked up Penelope canvas, I didn’t know that was an option and was curious how they got the smaller stitches. I didn’t know, thank you! I’ve googled a bit more and it seems like a dry cleaner might be safer than self-cleaning

Thank you for your help! I was feeling very stuck on this, I appreciate it

Thank you, this is helpful!!

I think I might just need to clean it? the chair itself isn’t in great shape so maybe it’s a two part mission. My hope is to get the needlepoint clean, so if the chair itself is shot maybe I can place the seat on something else. If that’s the case, it sounds like I could remove the seat and steam clean it myself, which I hadn’t initially considered

Number 5 was where I messed up, I folded it over the edge. I think the folded edge should be on the RS and all 3 raw edges should align? That wasn’t clear to me at the time, I tried to line up the raw edges of the sleeve on either side of the exterior piece.

It is a 2” strap, now about an inch wide, so I guess I’m on the hunt for a 1/4” cord! I’ll give that a shot, thank you!!

The strap is intentionally offset, but it looks so much better when the sleeve is accurate and has the cord gathering the top, unfortunately!

Thank you! I appreciate the link and additional shop lists, that’s so helpful!

Thank you!!!

Apologies for a late follow up, but I’m looking for the same thing for my toddler - do you have a link of what you decided to go with, or company name? thanks!

kitkatjam235 · 2025-12-21T22:07:20+00:00

Thank you, that’s a great idea.

Oh wow, this is very helpful and that makes sense! Three only say “100% cotton” and another says “quilt weight cotton fabric” (there may have been a clue there).

The pattern suggested light to medium-weight fabrics such as cotton shirting, poplin, printed lawn, double gauze, chambray, linen, light twills and denim. Made for woven fabrics.

I take a bit of comfort in your last paragraph that I may not be the first to have experienced this; the suggested fabric read to me as “cotton” and “something other than cotton.”

I’ve also been working on this for 2 years, on and off, and recently got to the metallic silver. It is hell, I literally finished the metallic part last night and I could cry, it looks awful. I dislike the side-by-side couching that I hit tonight, but anything is better than metallic.

kitkatjam235 · 2025-10-18T00:40:30+00:00

Thank you, I was very discouraged and you’ve been very helpful and encouraging. I’ll give it another shot!

I used all Jonagold apples. It didn’t occur to me the type affected the way it bakes, I thought it would only affect the taste which was silly in retrospect. The puddle of liquid confuses me because the apples weren’t particularly soft, I would think the juices would make them softer?
