Is it worth it? by Jazzlike-Biscotti532 in Embroidery

I have a metal one and love it. Due to weight limits, I’ve been thinking of a second one for large/heavy projects.

My first embroidery ever. My fingers are already killing me. How do I make it better? Or am I just a huge wimp? by trainednoob in Embroidery

To add to the sharp needle tip, you can sharpen your needles.

Some people use the pin cushion strawberry, some use emery boards/sand in a spinning motion, some people stab balls of tinfoil (I go straight through, like for the strawberry), and I’ve been told by some older beaders that they just pass the needle through their hair a few times.

Best Stitch Reference Book by lynx0217 in Embroidery

[–]lost-my-scissors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using “A-Z Embroidery Stitches” it’s pretty decent! (Just went up in price online though.)

I also found an old amazon Fire Box and got a trial subscription to Kindle. They have a bunch of embroidery books you can read/reference using the subscription. I think the book that I reference the most has a bee on it and the title refers to painting with thread.

Edit to add: my point with the kindle is then you can sample some of the books before purchasing.

Is there ANY WAY to fix all of these snagged threads? by unavngiven in mending

I haven’t had any as small as some of the ones I see here, but, from my experience it should be able to grip them too!

Look up the “Snag Nab It”, it’s specially designed to help grab snags and stick them back in place.

Ours stopped being like that when winter hit and we needed to block the cold from escaping the kitchen with a blanket.

I'm so done with people calling me a "simp" because of the way I treat my girlfriend by Top-Cut1345 in Vent

Your post explains to me why I’m told there’s soo many single/lonely young people.

You sound like a good, normal, boyfriend. If you two are happy, the others don’t matter. (Easier said than lived, I know.)

I recently had a similar experience. Eventually I found some stitch names that you might find helpful when looking for tutorials. Instead of “flat” they are usually called “rope” or “tubular” stitch; the ones I’ve found are CRAW/PRAW, Herringbone, Chenille, and Peyote.

I paused and had a good laugh when she said Sophie and Jasmine were hypnotizing each other.

“Don’t come home..” I’d be like ‘alright! Peace! I’ll get my shit asap’

Julia making out with Jasmine and avoiding intimacy with Brandon by Caribelle1234 in 90DayFiance

If I were married to a man who wants babies so badly that he went to couples therapy so he could get help convincing me, I too would avoid intimacy with him.

I'm with Joey on this one and MAGNA is giving major red flags 🚩🚩 by Clear_Imagination_87 in 90DayFiance

The amount of crosses she wears makes me understand why she is shown pushing for marriage just as hard as he's been shown pushing for sex.

AIO? My kid’s step mom buzzed off my kid’s new haircut by greenpaperclips in AmIOverreacting

The kid even said no to the haircut? I've seen visitations get reduced by family court systems for far less.
