Saturnalia Stitching demonstrates how she tapes her canvas edges.  She may waste a bit at the ends, but it's very neat and her folds are perfect.

Kreinik Comes on Cones, Spools or Cards

Kreinik reminds us that their metallics come on cones, spools or cards.

If you are a shop, request cones for large projects or the traditional spools by contacting Fleur De Paris.  If you are a shop and want Kreinik on the new cards, contact Rainbow Gallery.

Stitch Faster with Quality plus Stocking Tips

Needlepoint.com just posted five tips to make your stitching go faster without sacrificing quality. These tips are a way of pushing their products, of course, but you will find yourself stitching faster if you have your threads organized and use tools to make the stitching easier.  Stitch guides are useful because they stretch your stitching muscles without your having to spend a lot of time researching Just The Right Stitch.

KC Needlepoint has also posted tips for stitching big projects like Christmas stockings.  I personally hate scroll bars but they sure make stitching large stockings easier.
