Needlepoint.com Has an App Now

Needlepoint.com has created an app to make shopping easier for those of us who are smart phone users.  You can read about it here and learn why it'll make your life easier if you download it from the iOS or Android store.

BeStitched in Scottsdale, AZ also has an app to download.  I don't know of other shops that have taken this step but I bet there are more!  After all, smart phones are in nearly everyone's hands these days, even if we only use them for phone calls.

Kreinik Metallic Now Has 15 Yards Per Card

Kreinik has announced that their size 4 Very Fine Braid and their size 8 Fine Braid now come 15 yards to a card.

https://www.instagram.com/p/DHoowETur-f/

The cards originally had 12 yards for the size 4 braid and 10 yards for size 8 but they've increased the yardage to 15 yards for both sizes.  No word on other sizes of their metallics yet.  By the way, Kreinik spools of size 4 had 12 yards and the other sizes (including size 8) had 11 yards.  So this is a nice upgrade.

Please be patient as the new owners of Kreinik work out how to make the metallics on the new equipment they bought and how to package and sell it to our wonderful shops.

Le Stitch Comes to Vero Beach

If you are going to be in Vero Beach, Florida for a while, you'll want to check out the new Vero Beach chapter of Le Stitch.  It's a great way to socialize while you stitch, with the bonus of learning from and teaching others all your accumulated needlepoint wisdom!  Sharing is fun, after all.
