------------------------------------- I am brand new at this, never embroidered. Just want to make stitches to sew kind of an applique on by hand and wanted to use thick embroidery thread. But I can't pull the thread through the material and it took a year and a day to get the needle threaded. ...

I'm loving the piece I'm doing in the DMC Variations dark greens, but I'm tempted to try in working from the center out in something wild and bright. Hot would be good too. So - bring them on folks. I'm going to lean toward 6 strand cottons as I'm well in to my 4th skein of floss and will order...

Hi Gang, I have a friend and a fellow stitcher with a problem. She's in the midst of a nasty divorce. Have any of you heard of the needlework being listed as part of the community property settlement? Who did the evaluation? She was told property has to be valued at "garage sale prices" so I...
