Metal Threads Embroidery Scissors with Large Finger Holes

Thistle Threads just got a shipment of Italian scissors for goldwork for their online shop.

These have serrated blades to make cutting metal threads easier and the finger holes are larger than usual, which is nice for arthritic fingers.  But if you want these, act NOW.  Due to the coronavirus and the importance of not going to the post office constantly, Thistle Threads is going to stop orders at midnight, Sunday March 22.

Thinking About Going to Market

Arlene Cohen of Works by ABC is a counted canvaswork and cross stitch designer who is just ramping up into being a pro.  As part of that process, she went to the Nashville Market in early March to stick her toe into how it all works.

Arlene is walking a path many a designer has gone, trying to go from single sales to a larger audience.  We wish her great success!

If you are curious about Arlene's work, don't miss exploring her website.  It's fascinating.  Here is the counted canvaswork section for starters.
