Turkeywork Tip

Twice in one week I've heard people saying that Glad Wrap's Press'n Seal was the perfect thing to put over you canvas before trimming turkey work stitches.  I'd never even heard of Press'n Seal, but I found information about it online.  Next time you are grocery shopping, you might pick some up for that fur trimming in your future!

By the way, the video is hilarious.

I have to confess I'd never have thought to combine a cast on stitch and beads but it looks great!

Susan Johnson of SJ Designs just announced that her 18th Century Sampler will be available as a cyber class, probably starting in early September.  Use the side arrow to see the smaller version of the "18th Century Sampler" which is shown on black and suitable for #18 mesh instead of 24 count Congress cloth.

Want more information?  Email Susan at susan@sj-designs.com and put "18th Century Sampler Class" in the subject line of the email to ensure a quick response.  I'm hoping information will go up on her website shortly but it looks like her SJ Designs Facebook page will have the latest first.

Introducing the Rolaframe

Danielle has just purchased a Rolaframe to use for her larger canvas pieces.  She stitches in hand instead of using a table or floor frame, and wanted something lightweight and easy to use.  She really likes it.

The company is in Huntsville, Alabama but they don't have a website, just a Facebook page.  It is full of photographs, though, so you can see all the products they carry, then email them at RolaframeHSV@gmail.com for more information.

This is the Chandler Creations website, the storage options page.  The website also has videos showing how things are assembled and a page of photographs of their tables and storage cabinets used by various customers.  It's all very inspiring!
