SuDu has written a fun article about how she sells stash online. I've seen more interest in stash sales sites since the summer started since the shops are having problems stocking items because of the pandemic. The canvas painting companies are taking 5-6 months to ship an order, and shops are having trouble getting threads at times. All this makes it a good time to sell the stash you'll never stitch.
I think if you have a bunch of things you'd like to sell now, or if you plan to sell quite a bit over the next year or so, her tips will really help you.

Remember, I have a list of places to sell and also a list of places to donate stash in the tabs at the top of Blog.

Coffman Adjust-a-Frame Stretcher Bars
Cathy loves her Coffman stretcher bars (Adjust-a-Frame) and has posted photos on Facebook that show them. They slide together using dowel rods. You attach the canvas with staples or tacks as usual, then use an Allen wrench to tighten them.
Email Mr. Coffman at mcgc123@sbcglobal.net for a price list. They only take checks in payment.

The video always shows how to use a snap tray (or a bead snap tray), a button snap magnet, pincushions, etc.

Planet Earth Self-Finishing Box Tutorial
Ever worried about how to attach a canvas to the lid of one of those Planet Earth Fiber self-finishing boxes? Someone asked on Needlepoint Nation and got lots of help.
In case you've never seen these, they look like this and also come in lime green, orange and pink.
The Pointing It Out podcast (available on YouTube) has a whole series about self-finishing items if you want to see more options.
