On this and the linked pages we will try to offer our 30 years or so of stitching experience. We are starting small but will continue to add hints and ideas.
Please send us your own tips via e-mail. Be sure to let us know if it is alright to give you credit for the tip, such as "This hint from Alice Blue, Fenderson, Montana."
Not everyone will agree with all the tips and hints. For example, there is quite a bit of controversy around washing and blocking. Perhaps this can be a forum for thoughts on this and other areas of interest.
4-Square Dutch Treat The 4-Square Dutch Treat is designed to to hold your project fabric as tight as you need it on all 4 sides for punch needle, knotting and for those who like to work cross stitch and needlepoint, or crazy quilting with good even tension. The frame comes with 9 and 12 inch horizontal dowels and a set of 10 inch vertical dowels. The frame will sit on your lap or table so all you hold is your needle.
Alpaca Needle Nanny Simply place your Needle Minder on the front of your needlework canvas or fabric, in a convenient location, and align the other magnet directly behind your Needle Nanny. Made with 2 super strong high quality rare earth magnets, our Needle Keepers are strong enough to hold your scissors as well.
