The bi-monthly newsletter from Needlepoint Now is out and it has a great way to stitch a rug canvas, sent in by Ann. Basically you roll the bottom of the rug around empty paper towel cardboard centers, then clip them to stay closed. Then use frame weights to hold the top of the rug to a table. You can sit at the table and stitch with the rolled end in your lap out of the way. There's no need for a huge and expensive custom rug frame. Very clever!

Smart Cookie Award for March UPDATED
This month's Smart Cookie Award goes to Cindy, who is working a multi-colored plaid border around her design.

Cindy took a few mini quilters clips and glued magnets to the back. She uses them to gather her thread tails on the front until she needs a color from the group again.

UPDATE: Brenda's done something similar.

The Smart Cookie Award for February Goes to Martha
Labels:
clips,
Q Snaps,
Stitch Clips
Someone asked about the clips that are used on the side of frames to attach fabric to the frame, particularly Q Snaps. I found these on Nordic Needle's website. This brand is called Stitch Clips, but I think there are other brands that are similar.

Folks posted that they use library clips or banker clips as well but Martha wins the Smart Cookie Award for February because she uses these clips—
