Kreink Spools Lose Their Labels UPDATED

Kreinik's latest posting is about their struggles to help their spools keep labels in place longer.  It's interesting to learn that their label machine is broken and they are struggling to get it fixed. Mechanics for this sort of thing are no longer available so it's hard on a small business.

My spools lose labels occasionally but I just pop the spool and label in a Floss-Away bag and don't stress over it.

UPDATE:  Waste Knot says that they occasionally have to replace the labels on Kreinik spools. The staff use a dab of rubber cement, then hold the spool by the ends till it adheres. It seems to work pretty well.  Thanks, SL!  We appreciate knowing what the shops do to handle this issue.

Anyone else have tips?

A Tour of Cindy's Needle Art

Sheena's been to Canada on a short vacation, and since she was in the Toronto area, she visited Cindy's Needle Art in a suburb of that city.  She met up with friends from Facebook and had a lovely time touring the shop, seeing all the Sew Much Fun models (Cindy's sister designs Sew Much Fun canvases and Cindy stitches them and writes stitch guides for many), and generally enjoying herself.  The photos of the many Sew Much Fun models are astounding!

Here is the shop website.

And here is the Sew Much Fun website.   Ordinarily you cannot order directly from the designer but since her sister owns a needlepoint shop, you can pretty much get any Sew Much Fun canvas you want without much of a wait if you go through Cindy's Needle Art.

Thanks for the tour, Sheena!  It was fabulous!
