Stoney Creek has a new 2024 Stocking!
Dreaming of St Nick is a new stocking design by the Stoney Creek designers. It's the first one on the left... the next three in the picture above are charts we also carry in the shop. Always lots of design detail and backstitching for accent. Dreaming of St Nick is in a leaflet with the other two pics featured on the cover!

Coded for DMC (like 50 of them) and a few metallics, it'll finish a generous 11 x 17 on 14/28ct. (A decent Santa-size!) Not a lot of backstitch... even though this is quite an involved design... we think it's more 'Do-Able' than a lot of others!

  • Leave Winter Behind lets you stitch a little of all the seasons - I think you could even split up the parts and do them individually if you wanted. 'Spring is welcome, Summer is fine, Fall is fun, but leave Winter behind!' She has stitched her model over one on 25ct Lugana, but anything you like will work. Stitch count is a whopping 300 x 69, and the leaflet is $12.00.

Strawberry Thief
from Cotton Pixels
Oh my gosh, this is the sweetest design! The thief-cat is BEADS and so are the strawberries! Presented as a color chart ($9), this finishes approx 3-1/2 inches on 32ct. The blackbirds on the edges are watching that darling little black cat - who is stitched with Mill Hill petite glass beads - stealing a plump strawberry - which is also stitched in beads!

There are some straight stitches on leaves for a little more interest - making this whole thing  tiny and precious! Stitched on a light blue 32ct - you'll need that size - or 36 - to fit the beads (42014, 42031 and 42013.)

Quack Stack from Plum Street Samplers We Remember from Plum Street Samplers There is Liberty from Plum Street Samplers
New Arrivals from Plum Street Samplers' Paulette has a trio of new designs.
  • Quack Stack - The next in her series of animal 'piles'... this measures 54 x 90 - just like the rest in the set. A Mallard family is kind of stacked up... Dad swimming for dinner, and Mom is feeding Baby up in the tree branches. Apparently, there is a lot of color detail on a Mallard duck - these kind of ate Paulette's lunch! Stitched on Graham Cracker hand-dyed 40ct. Chart for $10.00
  • We Remember - Paulette grew up in a military family. She loves patriotic holidays, and actually the whole summer is patriotic season to her. This 91 x 90 design is red with poppies, blue with stars and features kind of a white cat! You're allowed to change those kitty colors to match your kitty... but the features of the design are the poppies and stars. Coded for DMCs with some Weeks hand-dyeds tossed in. Chart $12.00
  • There is Liberty - This charming design features a row of tiny houses - and one dog house! It is all underneath a peace dove, who is followed by an eagle. Paulette loves the little connecting 'welcome paths' she put running between all her houses! Measuring 232 x 87, this finishes about 13 x 5 on 36ct, and is stitched with mainly DMC and touches of Weeks hand-dyed. This would make such a cool drum shape if you want an alternate finishing rather than framing. Presented as a chart $14.00

    Rascals, Troublemakers and Nibblers
    from Petal Pusher
    Sounds like fun trio! By Petal Pusher, we have new 4 x 4 designs that are full of repeating motifs that make neat patterns. Rascals features little rabbits eating the carrots growing in the garden. All the carrots are the repeating design, that together with their tops, form the design. Troublemakers are the black crows beginning to eat the pumpkins in the patch. Nibblers features the cutest little mice hiding amidst the strawberries. Honestly, the cutest things!

    Great colors in each - just DMC - they measure 61 in stitch count. Offered in separate chart packs, Barbie gives you her source for the wooden boards shown in her finishing. They come in unfinished wood - you get to paint and distress to your liking.

    Sew Stitch!
    from Anabella's Needleart
    Here's a cute set of 4 designs by Anabella's for us cross-stitchers and seamstresses. Presented in a heavy card-stock leaflet with full color charts, there are 4 designs that all coordinate. Charted for DMC - same basic color scheme across all 4 - they measure 60 x 60 stitches - so will finish into fun little 4-inch cushions if you work then on 32ct.

    Cute and quick! The leaflet cover pic is kind of dark... I think these would be pretty easy to brighten a little, and it'd be fun to feature metallic on the sewing machine decoration, buttons on the Sew happy, and maybe some wool for the tomato pin cushion!

    New Releases from Erica Michaels Designs
    • American Blues - A pair of small designs both stitched in two shades of blue, Linda has included some hand-dyed blue star buttons for embellishment inside the chart.
    • Celebrate Summer - Linda's summer version in her seasonal Buttoned Up series, buttons are included in the chart, as well as both design arrangements. Pretty sunny yellows and faded demin blues.
    • Dads - Companions Moms... Linda suggests finding a special shirt (or tie?) of Dad's to use in color selections and finishing. We're laughing here, because we DO NOT think it'd be a good idea to cut up one of Dad's CURRENT favorite shirts to stick on the back of his gift. Chart contains all three design options... let us know if you get in trouble with the shirt thing!

    People can't resist digging through a bowl filled with small cushions - especially when they're all different, but they all go together! Happens all the time with the shop models! Each seasonal barn trio is offered in its own chart pack.

    Jolly Snowman is new and joins Santa Baby and Mrs Claus! By Sew Emma, this Holiday trio is retro in personality, and should remind you of Santa as you remember him when you were little.

    All three are presented as separate charts - each is done on a light blue background - so the white shows up. Worked with DMC, they all finish approx 5 x 5 on 14ct. Simple and cute, they'd be fun finished onto three sides of a standing cube, or individually as well.

    • Prairie Year-Rounds are simple seasonal designs done on a black or charcoal background. Maximum stitch counts are 51 x 53, and they're done with DMC. This was book #52, so if I had to guess, I'd say it was first published in about 1987 or 88!
    • Christmas Traditions was also another favorite... We've had the nativity model done in the shop forever... been telling people for years we didn't have the pattern...and now we do again!

    Pat and Peggy were here for a two-day retreat, and these charming needle tubes and scissor fobs were the projects! We are a FEW extra kits left-over... maybe a treat to yourself?
    • The Thistle Floral Needle Cases nestled in that gorgeous embossed wooden box - you will be doing flat Peyote beading to cover 4 glass vials to tuck into this cute little 3 x 3 x 1-1/2 inch wooden box! Complete kit contains that box, all the beading materials and little glass vials to complete the set. Matching fob is available separately. The medallion on your box top will be an antiqued brass medallion. What you see in this picture is the Reclaimed Silver we made in the class. Your topper medallion will not be the hand-made silver, sorry!
    • Scared Silly Needle Cases and Scared Silly Fob is the Halloween version of this awesome project. You'll cover these 4 vials with orange and black beads for your little box. We love the artwork around the sides - it's a wrought iron graveyard fence that has some damage in it... like a Zombie broke out of the graveyard! Your complete kits for this set contain the wooden box, vials, all the beads and thread necessary for everything, along with a filigree medallion piece for your box lid. Again, the fob is available separately.

    New Designs for Spring from With Thy Needle & Thread
    Pretty summery flags and florals are new this season - all are charts, all are stitched in Brenda's softly aged colorways.
    • Summer's Swan - Inspired by those antique/vintage concrete swan planters... and memories from Brenda's childhood. She decided it was time for a new seasonal set of 4 small (about 4 x 4) designs, and this swan is the first. Soft and dusty colors - she's made the flag softly colored and airy as well. Stitched on 40ct Country Vintage Mocha linen with Grits, Arrowhead, Havana, Pamlico, Olive, Red Rocks, Blue Corn, Barn Door, Hickory Sticks, Root Beer Float, Ye Old Gold, Mountain Mist, and Endive, it includes a smattering of DMC as well. She's featuring Long Straight Stitches, Four-sided and Lazy Daisy stitches on this as well! The Lazy Daisies are the bee wings, and straight stitches make up the star on the flag, but I can't find the 4-sided stitches!
    • Grand Olde Flag II - More gorgeous dusty aged colors... this set of 3 and 4-inch cushions uses just three threads - DMC 22, 3033 and Classic's Tartan Plaid! Brenda chose 36ct Creme Brule - choose any neutral hand-dyed you like, in any count! Fun and fast to work up... they'll fill a fun little bowl for summertime!
    • The Coleus and the Pear - Inspired by an antique in Brenda's collection, this finishes approx 4 x 14 on 36ct. Stitched with Dove, Driftwood, Cranberry Ice, Baked Apple, Brick, Red Pear, Oscar, Sanguine, Teal Frost, Classic's Poblano Pepper and a few DMCs, she added some greens that were not in the original piece. Lots of antique charm in this one.

    Madame Butterfly Mouse on a Tin by Just Nan - click to see more! Presenting Madame Butterfly Mouse on a Tin from Just Nan
    Nan's last little mouse perched on her tin house will be here by the end of April! Madame is ready for the sunny flower-filled days of summer. She is wearing a gown of gorgeous butterflies and pretty pink rose stitches accented with sky blue and golden bronze beads. Her blue flower hat is pinned in place with three blue beads, so she's ready for a sudden gust of wind!

    Her tin perch is decorated with rings of blue and bronze butterflies set against a dramatic black background, and Nan has added blue scalloped trim along the edge. Inside Madame's tiny tin, you'll be able to tuck your tiny frayed-edge needlebook. It is decorated with butterfly stitches, an antique brass butterfly charm, and sparkling blue crystal.

    Both the mouse and book are stitched on Week's Dye Work's 32ct Linen color of hand-dyed linen using DMC floss from your stash. Included with the leaflet are all the stitching and finishing instructions, beads, flower hat, butterfly charm, needlebook felt, decorated metal tin, gold tail and Nan's signature button base with magnet. All you'll need is a tiny bit of fusible interfacing for the book and mouse.
    Too darn cute, Madame Butterfly is the final Mouse on a Tin. The Peacock and Bee Mice are sold out... but we still have Little Lady in Red Ladybug Mouse!

    Garden Box from Jeannette Douglas Shepherd's Box from Jeannette Douglas Chubby Bee from Jeannette Douglas
    We're spending the week with Jeannette and her newest designs via Silver-Needle-at-Sea!
    All the Lovely New Things that came our way from Jeannette Douglas Click through to see the rest.
    • Garden Box - Garden Time is fast approaching, so Jeannette has another set of boxed pieces that fit into her little shadow boxes (like Christmas and Stitch Box.) No specialty stitches on this, the main design is only 3-1/2 x 4 on 32ct, while the two smalls on the side are less than 2 inches in size, and the long cushion along the bottom holds a ruler on its backside. Stitched with hand-dyed cottons, there is no thread pack for this - only the wool packet that has the small pieces of wool for backing, the ruler, pins from Puntini Puntini, and buttons for the biscornu - a little finishing materials packet. (We call this box our 1-1-2 configuration... one hole, then another different sized hole, then 2 holes of the same size. Do not confuse it with the 1 - 3 configuration box! And... I see that we use the words 'tray' and 'box' to describe the same little type of wooden piece.) Presented as the leaflet with Wool Packet.
    • Shepherd's Box - Sheep and Stitching seem to go together... a fun theme Jeannette loves to work with. Main design is 3-1/2 x 4, and again those smalls along the side, and across the bottom. This design is coded for DMC but model is done with silks - so there is a thread pack as well as a wool finishing pack. Wool packet contains backing wools, templates to make holders and decorations on the backs, Puntini Puntini pins, and a sheep waxer from Noteworthy Needle. So that you have everything you need, we are offering the leaflet, and both thread and wool packets all together. So leaflet with no packs, or leaflet with both packs.
    • Chubby Bee - This plump little bee hardly looks like she can fly! (Jeannette promises a squirrel coming later this year to join Chubby Fox, Bunny and Bird.) Same size as its three companions - about 60 x 60 - it's done with hand-dyed flosses, and available as a small chart.

    Presenting the 2024 Autumn Mill Hill Bead Kit Collections! The Button & Beads Collection - Always anticipated and really fun to work up... these finish about 5 x 5, worked on 14ct perforated paper. Complete kits include the Mill Hill beads, the button and glass beads, flosses and needles. We have a neat outdoor-zey canoe, a hungry squirrel couple, the old schoolhouse, and moving moose! The scary graveyard and wild Halloween medley scenes feature the newer glass Glow-In-The-Dark beads!!!

    Autumn Harvest Collection from Mill Hill
    The little guys, these finish about 3 x 3 each. Fun as magnets, in the olden days we wore them as pins! Mostly though, they make cute ornaments for Halloween trees and especially Christmas trees. Even though the coffee cup isn't Christmassy - it's a perfect ornament for a coffee-a-holic! Even though the skeleton isn't Christmassy - I bet you know of a little dinosaur-lover who'd love that as an ornament this year! This season we have colorful apples, a witch who must have flown into a wall!, the ever-present daily coffee cup, and a glorious honey bee. Both the scary skeleton and bubbling cauldron feature glow-in-the-dark beads! Always cute, the complete kits include the 14ct perf paper, magnet for the back, beads, needles, chart, and some sort of Mill Hill glass or crystal Treasure as well!

    Independence Day of The Mice from Twin Peak Primitives
    How cute is this? The little mice have on party hats to celebrate the 4th Of July. I think they're sewing flags; I can't tell if they are passing the thread through a waxer up there on top of the spool, or if it's a thimble, but it looks cute anyway!

    Measures 136 x 122 - so finishes about 9 x 10 on 28ct. You could make it a little smaller, and it'd finish into a super-cute cube stand-up for your counter. Leaflet, DMC.

    Three Seasons from Erin Eiizabeth Designs
    An arrival of new designs... all of them are trimmed with Rik-Rak!
    • American Flag - Kind of a coverlet-inspired piece, the stars and stripes are stitched with only 2 colors (a red and a blue) of hand-dyed thread! Meauring 101 x 71, this finishes a petite 4 x 5-1/2 on 18/36ct. I think it'd make a really cute block stand-up or mattress-style pin cushion.
    • Spring Blooms - Sweet little houses... I see this one finished into a three-sided triangle block or a 4-sided one, with decorated fabric on the 4th (back) side, or maybe your family name on that side? Might be cute with the top open and a little glass vase in there holding a few flowers. Each pic is 70 x 70, so finishes about 4 inches square.
    • Pumpkin Lane Sampler - I like the colors in this one. The soft oranges and golds mixed with the dirty whites and faded denim blues... they're all pumpkin colors! You could take out the alphabet and stitch something like 'Welcome to our Patch' and make a door sign out of this. The bottom row of pumpkins might make a really cute pin cushion, and you could do this whole thing in a long row to sit on a windowsill. Stitched on Dark Cobblestone Lugana.

    Olde Colonial designed this cute little bolster case, complete with little wooden elephant thread board. Originally released in 2010, it has been out of print and production since then. Butttt, now we have a few kits - Pam revised it all in 2023. Instructions are included to finish the 61 x 93 sampler - it features mama and baby elephants in one area, bees and a skep in another area, and your initials and alphabet in the third area.

    Finish it as a flat folding case or the fun little round. The kit contains the chart, finishing instructions, interfacing, finishing fabric, 32ct Country Vintage Mocha Belfast linen, DMC floss, the elephant board, a tiny bee charm and some snaps.

    These are the wonderful boards that Hands On Design uses in a lot of her finishing treatments. (Go to her page, you'll see tons of examples of boards in use.) Made from MDF, medium density fiber board, which is a composite wood product. These feature a thin veneer layer on each side. They are 3/8 of an inch thick, and love no extra finish or paint - just not a stain treatment.

    Varied sized and styles... everyone is using those super-strong magnets to attach finished needlework - one magnet on the back of your work, the other on the back of the board. That way, you can switch designs in a jiff, and re-use your boards across the seasons!

    Pauline Revisited and Antonia Revisited Scissors by DOVO - click for more
    Announcing NEW DOVO Embroidery Scissors!
    DOVO Solingen - click for more Two past favorite scissor styles are being manufactured again (for a limited time?) and will be available to us in early June! We used to have both these styles in multiple finishes... so think of this windfall as a TOTAL SCISSOR BONUS! Quite a lovely surprise... Definitely another chance to get some very special and wonderful scissors!
    • The Pauline - Revisited! This is a lovely 3-1/2 inch embroidery scissor - 'practically perfect in every way!' Our Silver Needle 35th Anniversary Pauline style (sold out) featured a brushed gold finish with DOVO's tapered extra-thin cutting tip for Handanger Embroidery. These NEW Pauline Revisited feature a Brushed Stainless finish (looks like Pewter) and features DOVO's classic, thin blades all the way to the tip. (No extra tapering... just sleek, beautiful, smooth blades.) You'll love them!
    • The Antoinia - Revisited! This is a wonderful 4-inch scissor. A little longer than the Pauline, finger holes a tiny bit larger, cutting blades a teeny bit longer, they just feel great in your hand. Very sleek and efficient. Our SN 35th Anniversary Antonia style (sold out) featured a brushed gold finish. These NEW Antonia Revisited feature that brushed stainless finish - looking like Pewter.
    Our favorite scissor manufacturer - DOVO - from Solingen, Germany had massively re-organized 4 years ago, and dissolved their scissor division. The tiny bit left of the company has been manufacturing shaving implements all this time. Someone smart, somewhere (!) decided they really still needed to do embroidery scissors - and here we are! I don't know how long we'll be treated to our scissors, but we are thrilled for whatever we can have! We're taking reservations now for early June and/or August 2024 delivery! We will charge your credit card at time of shipping in June.

    M Satterwaite 1807 Quaker Sampler and Mousepad
    from Shakespeare's Peddler's Theresa Venette!
    This is a stunning Quaker sampler originally stitched in 1807. Done entirely in black, it's really very striking and elegant. It measures 268 x 283, so finishes a huge 13 x 14 on 40ct! Theresa says her model stitcher stitched it in 13 days!

    Well, we have the old and the new - Theresa took the sampler artwork and put it on a mousepad! A standard 7-1/2 x 9, it's the good micro-fiber surface with black padded non-scoot backing. I'm pretty sure M Satterwaite had a different idea in mind when she thought of mice!

Kimberly always uses soft hand-dyed colors of fabrics and threads, and luscious trims and finishing fabrics. These three have it all! Scroll down to see more of her new designs.
    • Violetta Heart - Companions her Key to My Heart, Floral Heart and Patriotic Heart... I love these soft violet colors! Violetta includes luscious deep purple silk ribbon, strong greens and purples of Week's hand-dyed flosses, a length of lace trim to go all the way around your heart, backing fabric, and that little heart charm!
    • Bee's Delight - Companions Kimberly's Dutch Rose, Peony Bouquet and other little florals. Bee's Delight contains a soft grey and taupe check finishing fabric, pink silk ribbon, Week's hand-dyeds of pinks and dusty greens, the lace for the edging, and a little bee charm. The cover pic is kind of too big... the stitches are kind of tight on the model, so you can't see the colors very well. They are, indeed, gorgeous - trust me!
    • Blue Bird - Well, we were looking for the bird on this - and found that it's the little charm on the antique pin. Blue Bird is stitched with Week's Shepherd's Blue floss. The kit includes the hand-dyed line, silk ribbon old button and bitty bird charm.

    Stainless Scissors by Sajou
    A trio of really nice, smooth, sharp little embroidery scissors... they are presented by Sajou, feature a cool ribbon 'label' (can be removed by cutting), and come packaged in a pretty cardboard scissor sleeve (asst prints.) The scissors themselves are very nice - they feel really good, have nice sharp tips, and are well balanced. We have three styles - *A* is classic 4-inch size. *B* is the same style as A but only 3-1/2 inches long. *C* is another 3-1/2 inch style with a different curve on the handles.

    All three will make great every day scissors. (NOT for cutting yarns or heavy cords or thick threads... these are meant for sewing thread and 6-strand floss. If you cut something too heavy for any of your scissors, you wear the screw that holds the blades together - you 'strip it' - and it causes the scissors to permanently loosen!)
    Note! We also have several new enameled novelty scissors on our #2 Scissor page.

    'Stitched' Twill Tape Trim and 'Antique Spools'
    We found some distressed and vintage-looking twill tape trim that looks like it's 'decorated' with stitches. Everyone is using such cute trims on sewing bags and pouches, pin cushions, and always quilts... this just looks like it belongs with Cross Stitch! A coffee-beige background, the twill color is either black, navy blue or burgundy. Our hanks are 5-yards long.

    We've heard a cute idea: just take some of this and wind it around an antique spool - and you have in instant cool decoration for a basket of pin cushions or a shelf beside a sampler!

    So.... viola... Antique-Inspired Spools! Supposed to be the real thing, they have a good look, after you remove the sticker on the bottom that says 'made in china!' They do come with thread on them... but I'm not inclined to believe it's 150 years old! So... for $6, use these as a fun needlework-y decoration!

    Don't Touch Scissor Spool by The Nebby Needle
    Here's a stitched decoration for one of these spools! We love the rules... TOUCH, MOVE or BORROW... can't you just hear the excuses when your scissors are gone? 'I just borrowed them... or oh, I only moved them'... just makes you want to tear your hair out!

    Just do the quick stitching, fold under your top and bottom, wrap around the spool, and pin or tack the seam closed! You can even wrap some of that twill tape trim along the top and bottom in place of the stitched border! The picture on the chart cover is not the best... you'll just have to use your imagination a little!

    Some of Kathy Barrick's New Offerings! Click through to see more!
    • Cookie Cutters One & Two - Personally, I think these are some of the cutest little cushions we saw at Market this year! Presented in two different chart sets of 6 each, they are just precious! Kathy stitched them on neutral 40ct, backed them with the same neutral linen, stuffed them with walnut shells, and trimmed with chenille trim. She didn't interface the fronts or back, so they feel VERY soft and 'old' and pliable in your hands. She says her inspiration for these came from her love of huge solid spaces of stitching in her older pieces. She decided to cut out 'cookie shapes' from the solid stitching... and voila... we have tiny cushions!
      • Animal Pincushions from Kathy Barrick - click to see more Peace and Plenty Farm from Kathy Barrick - click to see more
    • Animal Pincushions - This is a delightful set of small cushions - all measure the same size - 74 x 52. Kathy used a medley of different 40ct fabrics and colors, and found various trims to match them all. Coded for DMC or silks... you can do each animal on any color fabric with any color combination - she has all her examples listed inside the chart. What a perfect way to use up scraps of all your fabrics! Do them over one or two... what ever you want. The finished collection was just awesome in person!
    • Peace and Plenty Farm - This looks happy! Charted for silk or DMC, this measures 197 x 165 in stitch count, so it'll finish a bitty 8 x 10 on 40ct! Lots of horses and pigs, some cows and a little dog, it has a pleasing color palette!

    Heirloom, Majestic, Exquisite and Elegant Lace... and 324 from Works by ABC
    This is a gorgeous set of designs - all stitched with white or creme floss on any dark fabric - Aida or linen. My mom had a lace table cloth on the dining room table that looked like these, so I couldn't resist these charts! Worked in whole crosses, you get that lighter look by doing just one leg of the cross, or one less strand of thread.

    The charts tell you how many thousands of stitches are in these to help with thread figuring, but then reminds you that you CAN take out a small motif from inside the lace somewhere and stitch just a small pin cushion! Truly exquisite, elegant and majestic like their name implies... choose any fabric you like as your background color. They are quite large, so kind of a 'stitching investment', but if you like them, TOTALLY worth it! Heirloom finishes 14 x 16 on 18/36. Majestic is 19 x 19 on 36! Elegant is 7 x 7 over one on 25ct but 9-1/2 on 36ct. Exquisite is 11-1/2 x 18-1/2 on 36.

    324 - This is cool... it uses 324 different shades of DMC floss! Absolutely every single motif and square on here is stitched with a different color of floss. BUTTTT if you aren't a 324-color-stitcher - it HAS been re-charted for just 36 colors as well. Easy to work from, the entire chart is one symbol, but there is a diagram of which colors go where. Inspired by an old piece of lace that featured thousands of tiny stitches and motifs, this finishes only about 11 x 11 on 36ct - so it is a delightful burst of busy color. Although the colors are intoxicating to me... you could split this all up and make a whole set of smaller square cushions following the color combinations you like best. Really a neat design idea.

    Sterling Needle Minders, Ort Jars and Needle Jars
    Michelle Ink has made us more of our exclusive sterling needle minders that our A Little Help From Our Friends Stitching Circle Stitchers received a few years ago. She designed this gorgeous threaded needle nestled among swirly stitches just for The Silver Needle. Her silver comes from recycled electronic discards! Referred to as precious metals clay... they reclaim the sterling in old computer parts, and somehow get it into a clay medium. Michelle, then molds it, fires it (the clay burns off and we are left with the beautiful silver that was being thrown away!), tumbles it, antiques it, and then makes her pieces into our needle minders, and medallions on tiny jars.

    You can see the quarter I put in the pic - for size reference - and I can guarantee you there is more silver in Michelle's pieces than that quarter! Gorgeous hand-made minders and elegant jars to love, USE and enjoy!

    Michelle is coming to The Silver Needle April 26th and 27th - she is teaching in our She Shed with the Fern Ridge Girls! We have 3 Spaces left in class... you'll be making beaded needlecases and fobs, and molding your Michelle Ink Sterling Silver medallion for the top of your needlecase box!

    Fun New Designsfrom Little Robin Designs - Definitely Worth Your Time!
    • Straighten Your Crown is advice for life - packed into a pin cushion finish. Choose any fabric you like and any color, this measures 144 x 65 so will finish about 3-1/2 x 8 on 36ct. Offered as a single chart.
    • Charlotte McGillis & Posey - A very simple alphabet sampler, what caught my eye is that gorgeous floral posey cushion in the lower corner. Measuring only 66 x 68, it'll finish about 3-1/2 inches in size on 36ct, and is worked with varied hand-dyeds. Chamomile, Chopped Chives, Hibiscus, Lagoon, Licorice Red, Mustard Seed, Old Money, Red Pear and Sand... just choose a light neutral fabric to showcase the pretty colors. Offered as a leaflet with both designs.
    • Literary Love Notes - Featuring romantic quotes from Austen, Fitzgerald and Bronte, stitch something historic and classy for your filled bowl of bowl-fillers! Little Robin chose 40ct - a neutral - and Classic Colorworks hand-dyed Cupid floss for hers. All three designs are included in this chart.
    • Pumpkins Alight - 'Moon shining bright, pumpkins alight, no shadows to fear on All Hallow's Night.' A retro-inspired scene full of soft, dusty blacks, grays, light oranges and yellow. This measures 219 x 155 - so finishes a generous 13-1/2 x 9-1/2 on 16/32ct. It is coded for a surprising 19 shades of Weeks, Gentle Art and Classic threads. Just old and charming! Presented as a chart.
    Funky Chickens by Satsuma Street - click for more Merrily They Ring by Satsuma Street - click for more Winter Woods by Satsuma Street - click for more The Four Elements by Satsuma Street - click for more
    Spring 2024 Releases from Satsuma Street - With Early Christmas Tossed In!
    • Funky Chickens - These chickens are stitched flat on your fabric, folded and then tacked together on two sides - they are the classic 'Humbug' shape. Stitched on any white you like with the brightest and happiest DMC colors they finish about 3-1/2 and 4 inches each. All three are presented in the chart and Jodi has included templates for the felt accents on them as well. Be thinking some fun button embellishments on these... or some frizzy trims as an extra garnish.
    • Merrily They Ring - This is presented as a complete kit with 18ct perforated paper - rather than 14ct, the floss, jingle bells chart and needle. Measuring approx 2 x 7 when finished, this would be cute hanging on one of those skinny walls you have between 2 doors or windows... somewhere nothing else fits!
    • Winter Woods - Take a walk through the snowy woods in this serene medley of evening scenes. Against that deep blue, everything looks cold, sleepy and quiet. Presented in leaflet format and coded to DMC, it measures 142 stitches square - so 9 x 9 on 32... which means the inner four designs are 4-1/2 inches each!
    • The Four Elements - This design is brilliant in color and wild personality! Jodi Rice of Satsuma Street loves color... and all of them POP on this black background. Earth, wind, water and fire, this measures 174 x 177 in stitch count - so an impressive 11 x 11 on 32ct. Truthfully, the colored chart is huge - across 4 fold-out pages - but it is intense, and not for a beginning stitcher. It uses 29 shades of Cosmo or DMC floss, and there is quite a bit of shading in here. I love it, but wow, an investment in good lighting and daytime stitching is a must!

    Pin Cushions and Ornaments by Samperbird Stitchery
  • My Heart is True - For the Red, White & Blue. - This is a sweet pin cushion design that has a matching tiny (31 x 31) fob companion chart in its chart pack. Just cute, it measures 57 stitches square and is worked with DMC floss.
  • Shamrock Reel - Here's a sweet little piece - stitched on white with DMC floss and a bit of gold metallic - it's mounted onto a green painted paper mache box from Hobby Lobby. Lady Dot's Motherlode chenille trim rounds the edges... and the tiny 25 x 25 matching fob design is included and has designs for both sides!
  • Merry Stitches - This is CUTE! Measuring just 45 in stitch count, it is done on Country Vintage Mocha colored fabric - which we carry in several different counts. For some reason that little stitched hoop and the scissors and tomato cushion on there make it so charming... it's a perfect ornament for a stitcher's ornament exchange! Presented as a chart.

    Little Stitch Girl sent us home her trunk show from Market this Spring... so we have all of these on display in the shop! We brought home her 13-part Spooky Hollow Village set, too, click through to see them all!
    • Holiday Banner Halloween - Just a cute little house with a graveyard in the front yard, and it's 'inhabitant' flying overhead. The Happy Halloween words are stitched on perforated paper, cut out, and strung together across the piece - over the needlework. Charted for DMC, finishes 8 x 10 on 32ct.
    • Nightmare on Plaid Street - A trio of colorful little houses, they are Halloween without being scary. The spiders from the trees are ok... the Jacks are smiling, and the ghosts don't look too mean. The finishing treatment on these is cute... she's made them into flat boards and glued sticks into the candle sticks, then poked the sticks up into the insides of the flats. It's a good finish because you can perch these in between pumpkins and things and they'll be tall enough to be seen.
    • Haunted Hill Road - Trick or Treat, smell My feet! Another cute and happy halloween-y design, really simple, but really cute! Charted for DMC or hand-dyeds it finishes just 6 x 11 on 32ct. Fun the kitchen countertop, you could finish it around a paper mache round box, and make it into a candy bucket! (Any good grandma needs to have Halloween candy on her counter!)
    • Probably Haunted - 'If one door closes and another door opens, your house is probably haunted.' Well there you go! Choose a fun fabric color, and stitch this for your favorite Realtor!

    Odds & Ends Basket from Thistles
    Odds & Ends Basket by Thistles
    This is a really cool open-topped box, that sports needlework all around the edges and lining the inside bottom. Super cute, it's simply one of those brown paper mache boxes from Hobby Lobby, covered with all sorts of cute needlework and sewing motifs. The design that wraps all around measures 68 x 389 in stitch count... so it's 4 x 22 on 36ct! It would be cute finished flat if the box thing scares you. The inside bottom liner is about 95 stitches in diameter.

    Liezbeth has this charted for Gentle Art Sampler Threads or DMC, it's just the most charming project! I took several pictures all around the box to show you all the cuteness on it.
    Thistles has several other new designs this season... click through the pics to see them all.

    Sleigh Ride from Praiseworthy Stitches - click for more Sunflower Farm Stacker with Spool from Praiseworthy Stitches - click for more Lighted Haunted Caskets from Praiseworthy Stitches - click for more
    Several Fun Things from Praiseworthy Stitches
    • Sleigh Ride - This is 2024's Annual Christmas scene... this joins PS's other 10 charming Christmassy Village pieces - full of busy-ness and 'Everything Winter.' Sleigh Bells Ring is the verse along the bottom - goes with Jingle All the Way, Joy to the World - you can peruse her page and see them all. Finishes approx 15-1/2 x 14 on 32ct - again, that rich Nocturne hand-dyed linen color (we have several different brands with great colors in different counts, you'll need a fat quarter if you choose 32.) It calls for 28 different hand-dyeds (you'll need 9 skeins of Weeks Snowflake!) and a smattering of beads and thin metallics. Always fun, we have several of Praiseworthy's companion villages stitched in the shop and everyone loves them!
    • Sunflower Farm Stacker - This is a scarecrow version that matches Mr Snowman and Creepy Pumpkin! Chart calls for three different colors of fabric, (everybody has different ideas about what they want to use), hand-dyed Weeks flosses, and bits of Weeks Wool used in the assembly. The Stacker is built around an antique wooden thread spool (this is what gives it stability to stand) that is included with the chart. A little more challenging on the finishing end than a pin cushion or something, but do-able. SUPER cute... all three are actually smaller than they look in the pic - they are about 7 inches tall!
    • Lighted Haunted Caskets - We had these last year... and LOVED them! Little wooden caskets (2 x 1 x 5-ish - already assembled and everything) with a carved design on the top (there were 9 assorted designs last year - so random) they had little lights inside that you could turn on and off. Your bits of stitching are inside (a beaded scissor fob and pin cushion this year), and you see that and the light through the cut-out design in the top. ABSOLUTELY THE CUTEST THINGS! Anyway, you get the casket, and all materials to make the insides. Painting your casket is optional - they come as raw unfinished wood. Order these early - they WILL sell out!

    New Vintaged Metallic Baby Tinsel Trim from Lady Dot Cherry Tomato and Garden Fresh Spool Pincushions from Lady Dot
    Lady Dot's New Vintaged Metallic Baby Tinsel Trim and Charming Tomato Pincushions
    This is the COOLEST stuff! It is a metallic and cotton mix, but basically miniature, soft, sparkly tinsel! Use it on miniature trees, or to trim ornaments. The red doesn't 'look' overdyed in any way, but it is a gorgeous deep, true, perfect red for anything 4th of July or Christmas - its package contains a 3-yard length.
    The silver, however has been 'slightly altered' here and there in its lengths, so my package has some areas that are 'tarnished' to look like it came from your Grandma's ornament stash. Parts are clear, shiny, festive silver, and then there is a bit here and there with 'patina.' Just gorgeous, and such a fun way to add personality to your finished pieces! The Silver has two 3-yard lengths in its package.

    Lois made the cutest little spool tomatoes! Two different options on these, what a pretty gift to present to a stitcher... something colorful and fun to perch on a shelf of stitchery, or just something cute to set on your desk at work to remind you of what stitching bliss awaits you at home after work! The smaller spool - Cherry Tomato, on the left, measures 2-1/2 inches high. A little fabric wound around the spool with that tiny 1-1/2 inch tomato perched on top! A green flower pin and a few more white headed pins finish the look.
    The larger spool - Garden Fresh - stands 4 inches high, and features that larger spool covered in fabric again. A felt ball is ready for your pins, but it already has a pretty trio of frosted flower pins! Just a touch of color for anywhere you want it!

    Look at these fun little wooden thread keeps!
    Look at these! Just 4 inches in size, and about 1/8 an in thick, each of these has 12 holes for your project threads. No rough or jagged edges to catch anything, and that pretty lasered wood treatment in the centers, we are really impressed with them.

    They are large enough so you can find them in your bag, and actually the cat and dog designs offer that extra area to tie larger bundles of thread if you need it. The bee came first, but now we have the Lucky Dog, Miss Kitty and Bouquet!

    SPOOLS, Lone Eagle Sampler and Paper Heart Basket from Needlework Press
    Three fun things are coming home from Market with us from Needlework Press!
    • Antique-Inspired Wooden Spools - They still have thread on them! $6 each, use them for scissor rests, or something to cover with a small band of your stitching. They measure about 3 inches tall, with that neck being 2-inches in size.
    • Paper Heart Basket - Remember these from last year? We have a few more! A charming reproduction of an antique... Vickie has everything needed in her little paper kits for these - except your thread, I believe.
    • Lone Eagle Sampler - Love this! It's a medley of motifs found in common 'Modelbooks' - little pattern books of the mid-19th century. Red is a traditional color... but you can do whatever YOU want... as the Cross Stitch Police will not come to your house! Presented in a booklet.
    • Be True - This is a fun little perforated paper piece that wraps around a wooden spool. After you stitch, cut the paper to fit your spool, wrap, and whip stitch the seam together - zip-zap! Your chart comes with a 3-inch spool that is 'antique-inspired' - we can tell that because they all have a 'made in china' sticker on them! But, they LOOK old, so it's kind of OK. Just a small, quick thing! Chart includes the perf paper and spool.

    Make this pretty Stitcher's Mat
    from Under the Garden Moon
    We have a model of this fun little mat in the shop - and you will fall in love with it when you see it! The cross stitch is on 10ct Tula or 20ct linen - over two. You can change the colors in the cross stitch to coordinate with your chosen fabrics and wools. They have a pic in here of 4 other colorways to give you a really good idea of what you can do. Finishes about 12 x 18 - what a fun thing to take to a retreat to spread out on your stitching area.

    Needle pages, a scissor pocket, a place for a pad of paper and pencil... all kinds of stuff. I am a non-sewer - and my brain freezes over when I read finishing instructions. I think the more pages, the harder it is... there are three full pages of that in here - so I am thinking that's a good thing! Offered in chart format with those instructions! You sew-ers will take one look at this and go, 'Oh Ok, I got it! What did they do with this pocket here? (you peek in there) Oh yeah, I got it!'

    Everything is teeny... each of these packages measures only 3 x 4 - so that should give you an idea of how petite each piece is. Surprisingly sturdy... enjoy them all!

    This is a pair of lovely bird designs that focus on colors and their meanings. Both are presented as charts with a gorgeous picture on the cover!
    • Tranquility celebrates aqua and turquoise. Their spiritual meaning is wisdom, tranquility, protection, good fortune and loyalty. A person who loves turquoise is a person that is calm, creative, emotionally balanced and spiritually grounded. Stitch this on any light blue or green or yellow... whatever you like best. The design is coded for DMC or a medley of hand-dyeds and finishes about 5 x 6 on 32ct.
    • Love Bird celebrates red with, of course, a cardinal! As with other colors, red represents several different meanings including anger, danger, passion, power and love. Jan has chosen to focus on Love for her design with her paired couple and his coat of hearts. She likes a dark neutral background - like Natural - so the 'snow flakes' will show - as well as the female bird. Finishes about 5 x 5 on 32ct, coded for DMC and/or various hand-dyeds.

Paulette did the #1 STARS chart... both she and Theresa worked on the the ampersand in the #2 design, Theresa did STRIPES! What a dynamite set of designs! You don't have to, but will probably want the same fabrics (a fat quarter will do) for all three pillows. The ampersand measures 65 x 103, and STRIPES measures 110 square. LOVE 'EM!

The reference of 1783 is the end of the Revolutionary War, and Nelson's retirement back to his cozy paddock at Mt V! Finishes approx 7 x 7 on 36ct.
    • Flag Thief - LOVE all the bold colors in this one! More multiple skeins of threads needed... but that's kind of fun. The glorious house is done in deep reds, the roof shingles in a medley of blue hand-dyeds... two little eagles are hiding in all the busy-ness, and the fox is busy chasing that fast little bunny Flag Thief! Measures about 7 x 7 on 36ct Fibre on a Whim Affogado hand-dyed (which is a fantastic color that we carry in several different counts including Aida!)
    • Proverbs 31 Sampler - Written from a wise mother to her son, teaching him what to look for in a spouse, this is one of Paulette's favorite verses. She chose a feminine color palette, and finished this into a box - maybe a sewing box? Measures about 7 x 7 on 36ct, coded for classic, Weeks and DMC flosses. This is piece dear to any stitcher's heart!

    • Tonight We Ride - Oh... look at that glorious fabric background! Grab lots of black thread... and a little gold... this is intense and striking! This measures 196 x 137, so wil finish about 14 x 10 on 14/28ct. Presented as a full color leaflet.
    • Ghost Towne - Another more whimsical halloween piece, you could do this on a gunmetal background... I think those little ghost trick-or-treaters are the CUTEST! Leaflet. This measures 100 x 134, so it will finish a little lover 6 x 8 on 32ct.
    • A Spooky Stroll - What a fun little floating witch... I love everything about it! It'd be fun to add metallics to the ghost and pumpkin eyes. Presented as a small chart, it measure just 61 x 70, and is stitched in regular DMC.

    Miss Hazel from Stacy Nash -- click to see more Bobbin from Stacy Nash -- click to see more Maggie Mae from Stacy Nash -- click to see more Le Poulet Pinkeep from Stacy Nash -- click to see more
    All the New from Stacy Nash Designs!
    • Miss Hazel - One of Stacy's newest Animal Cracker designs... Miss Hazel stands 6 inches tall and is 4 inches wide. She's done on 36ct linen in shades of Weeks hand-dyed flosses, and presented as a chart.
    • Bobbin - Well this is the absolute CUTEST THING releasing at the show this year! Little Bobbin is more like Stacy's Cracker Crumbs - the smaller animal designs - but she includes her sweet berry basket cushion, and as a good little mouse, her food supply is never far away! Bobbin sits atop any fun antique spool you can find... that bit of loose thread is coming from the needle in her hands! She stands only 3-1/4 inches tall, and her berry pin keep is just 2-1/2 inches in size!
    • Maggie Mae is the third Animal Cracker to be released. (Stacy has an exhisting collection of 11 Crackers, and 4 Crumbs... all pictured on our Nash Page.) She is delightful in her white chenille-looking dress and honey yellow cardigan sweater. She features a tiny radish pin keep too! She stands 7 high by 3-1/4 inches wide on 36ct.
    • Le Poulet Pinkeep - Here now! Oh, we lost track of this pattern at Market and it never made our previews or Market haul! We remember being in Stacy's room, right after someone she helped had complained about the chicken's party hat - we love that! We had a whole funny conversation about, and I guess, forgot to get our charts! Le Poulet measures 121 x 104, so on 36ct, it finishes about 6 x 7. It's coded for Weeks hand-dyed flosses of Grits, Beige, Schneckley, Havana, Dolphin, Charcoal, Lancaster Red, Lily Pad and Cinnabar. Just the cutest little cushion! Presented as a chart.

    Lots of Fun New Things by Heartstring Samplery AND Her Wood Guy!
    Beth has cute new designs, and she's put her husband to work cutting down trees on their property in Oregon, and making them all into fun wooden things for stitchers! He calls his workshop 'The Board Room!' Lots more on her inner page!
    • Scenic Sampler - Remember Beth's Scary Sampler? It referenced all sorts of Pop Culture Scary things? Here's the opposite piece - happy and bright - with tons of references to her favorite sweet and happy remembrances from books, TV and movies. I loved reading all about it in the Scary chart! Measures 247 x 215, and is coded for hand-dyeds and DMCs.
    • Honeybee and Wooly Bobbins - Meant to compliment the Scenic Sampler - Beth's hubby made these in 'The board Room.' Beth says they are 'From forest to finish.' Something fun to hold your threads... each is sold separately.
    • My Scissors My Rules - Meant to be hung in a prominent place in your house so that there are no more excuses by family members for improper use of special snips! Beth says you can do this in any color scheme you want, and she's just attached cup hooks to her frame as little scissor hooks! Presented as a chart.
    • My Rules Scissor Fob Kit - Another Board Room creation by college-freshman-son Jack, he's busy, so you get to assemble this yourself! He's supplied the QR code for your assembly needs! Pretty darn cute... you supply the scissors, Jack made the cool etchings and probably cut down the tree too!
    • Home Thread Board - More fun stuff from 'The Board Room!' Designed to match one of Beth's new charts... this is cute just by itself! Measures about 3 x 4, and useful for ANY small projects!

    Spring 2024 Releases from Liz Mathews
    • Abuzz at Midnight - Oh such pretty colors popping against that brilliant blue background!Measures 7 x 7 on 36ct.
    • Cottontail - Here's a quiet bunny hiding amidst the flowers in the garden. Liz presents two different colorways for this - kind of a 'push' to you that you CAN change fabrics and colors sometimes.
    • Remember Me Sampler Tree - I love this one! Finish it by framing... or make one of Liz's cute little cone shapes and make a tree out of this. The charts for each are slightly different to accomodate that finishing, but you get the same personality of the design. Doesn't look like it in the pic, but the framed piece is stitched on Country Vintage Mocha linen - a great 'faux hand-dyed.'
    • Spring House - This piece sports two different pieces of fabric joined together and then framed. Liz describes her dream garden house in the middle of an April rain shower... overflowing pots of flowers from the roof, the charming greenhouse, the European lace curtains and all charming bunnies and blooms in the yard. The whole thing is charming! Just be careful to choose two coordinating fabrics for this - same count, same texture.
    • Tenth Day of Christmas Sampler and Tree - Instead of 10 Lords a Leaping... we get ONE Santa! Way better! Liz suggests a darker fabric so the metallic 'magic' threads can be seen that are tumbling out of his sack. Same size as the other 9 so far in the set... just two more to go!
    • You've Got the Love - LOVE this one - of course! Another really good design to play with fabric and color options! Liz presents LOVE in a curved script, and the heart-shaped design as well. The bigger heart measures 104 x 91, while the smaller word is just 107 x 52.

    Quaker Bee II, Home and A Celebration of Spring from Samplers and Primitives
    Three new releases by Samplers and Primitives - we love her gentle color shadings. We have gorgeous acorn designs from last Fall, and here are a few Spring pieces.
    • The Quaker Bee II - Pretty golds and greens... pretty touch of Quaker on the edge, everything about it is pleasing to the eye, and it measures 95 - so could finish 4 x 4 if you did it over one on 25 Lugana!
    • Home - Peaceful house, spring-green lawn, I like that huge floral urn peeking behind the house! Measures 136 x 145 - stitched with a medley of hand-dyeds.
    • A Collaboration of Spring - Looks like the same little house - but different landscape! The topper border is really cool because it's different from the other three sides... it's just a little bigger than the HOME piece at 208 x 120.

    Pony Needles - Hypoallergenic White-Eye Black Needles - click for more
    Presenting Pony Black Needles! *Hypoallergenic Blacks* and *Colored Eye Tapestry*
    You Need these Needles! A new line for us in the shop - we're excited for the selection and the features they offer. Each package contains 6 needles.
    Hypoallergenic White Eye - This is a collection of BLACK STEEL needles. They do not have nickel plating on them. (Shiny needles have a nickel plating that can be an allergen - that is one reason shiny needles tarnish.) These are awesome because they feature a narrow shaft with that high contrast white eye - against the black - for easy threading. The black needle gives you a tip that is easier to see when you're aiming for your stitching hole, too! We have several sizes and types:
    Tapestry - Regular Cross Stitch Needles in #24, 26 and 28 and an assorted package of 2-18, 2-20, 1-22 and 1-26. Check out those gorgeous-easy-to-see-eyes!
    Ball Point - This is an assorted-sized package - smaller white eye, sharp tip - but with that micro-ball tip.
    Chenille - An assorted-sized package of sharp needles with large eyes, these are used for wool applique embroidery -- we also use them for our embroidered tea towels. These follow the same size that tapestry needles do... they are simply sharp rather than dull like a Tapestry.
    Pony Colored Eye Tapestry Needles - click for more    Compare Red Eye 28 needle with John James 28 gold tapestry needle - click for more
    Pony Colored Eye Tapestry Needles - Love these too! These are nickel-plated steel needles - with colored eyes! You can tell by looking at them what size your needle is! The #24's have a black eye - which is actually very easy to see. The #26 has a teal eye, and the teeny-weeny #28's have a red eye! We have these in an assortment pack of 2 each #24, 26 and 28, and single-size packs of 6 needles each as well. (#28's have 5 in the pack vs 6.)
    Look at the size difference of the Red Eye #28 needle! It is next to a John James #28 gold tapestry needle! It is definitely smaller!

    A Late Pony Needle Arrival - Hypo-allergenic Black Eye #28 Tapestry Needles!
    This little package of needles belongs in our collection of hypo-allergenic stainless needles by Pony. We're 'storing them' on our Needles page, in the same description line as our other black needles - with white eyes - but these are all black!

    These are really fun... and because they are black you can see where your needle point is! We like the white-eye versions because they are easy to thread, but honestly, these aren't hard either - because you can see the light through the eye!

    Something new and unique - just don't confuse yours with black kitty hair on the couch! A lovely petite size too!
    Scroll down just a bit, or click through to our Needles page, to see lots of other new Pony Needles.

    New Pony BEADING Needles
    Another new black hypo-allergenic Pony Needle, these are size 10 (only much longer than the normal ones) for beads. Super thin, they are all black, and actually, I can SEE their eye to thread!

    I can't see the eye on regular steel needles because they reflect the light. So, another fun new needle to try... 5 in the package. See what you think! They are pretty easy to hold as they are a complete 2 inches long.

    The Good Shepherd by Brenda Keyes -- click to see a larger view! Plenty & Gracet by Brenda Keyes -- click to see a larger view! Plenty & Grace Sampler and The Good Shepherd Sampler from Brenda Keyes of The Sampler Company
    Brenda Keyes has two new samplers... both offered in chart format; we like to stitch ours over one thread on 28 Lugana or with half stitches over two. Charming motifs and houses, the border on the Shepherd reminds me of the marks on a ruler! Always coded for DMC, her pieces are simple and pretty - but we notice that she is using some hand-dyed threads now. Due in the shop anyday, we can't wait to get the models stitched.

    Plenty & Grace measures 12-1/2 x 9-3/4 on 14/28 - but if you do the over one, you can get it down to 6 x 5!
    The Good Shepherd measures 175 x 177 - so 12-1/2 on that 28, but again - it could be 6 x 6-ish too! Brenda suggests these are easy to stitch and rates them as great projects for beginning stitchers. (But I'm an old stitcher, and I like them too!)
    Smart Punch Needles - click to see more Smart Punch Needles - click to see more
    Smart Punch Needles
    We have a new Punch Needle option! They describe their little gems with lots of important details:
    Smart punch is ergonomically designed with a larger handle to reduce the risk of tendonitis, pain of arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome. Designed for comfortable punching, you will also enjoy the thumb indentation on the front of the punch needle that lines up perfectly with the front, beveled edge, of your needle, always keeping it in the proper punching position. With five different loop heights that can be easily adjusted you will find yourself creating beautiful punch needle projects in no time at all.

    Smart Punch comes with the most commonly used medium size needle, needle threader and even an extra needle. You will be able to put 2 strands of 8 or 12 wt Pearl Cotton through this needle or 4-6 strands of floss. The needle comes with a punch needle lesson and great tips and hints along with some Do's and Don'ts!
