About ...

Thank you for stopping by to find out more about the designs and the products we offer!
If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.

About the Designs:

In order to add more texture to the finished work, in some of our designs, we use beads and fibers such as silk, wool, mohair, metallic thread etc. in addition to cotton embroidery floss. Working with such different fibers is both exciting and fun to stitch, and also enhances the look of your stitchery work! Where possible we list the cotton embroidery floss alternative.

You will find mainly full stitches in our designs. If we use quarter stitches at all, it is to fill in some fine detail. Consequently, many of our designs are easily adaptable to needlepoint.

Each individual designs' information page lists the types of materials used in that design. We offer Specialty Fiber and Bead Packs for many of our designs. For those of you who would rather not stitch with glass beads, there is a Glass Bead-To-DMC conversion available from Wichelt Imports.

About the Charts:

Charts contain a Cover Page with the photo of the stitched model,
Chart in black and white print, and an Information Page which contains the symbol key for the design and a list of materials used for the model.

About the Journal Pages and Floss Cards:

We provide complementary, downloadable Journal Page and Floss Card for each of our designs. You will find the download links to these pages at each design's information page. Floss cards are specially created for each individual design and contain all the floss symbols used in the chart. They are ready to use once you punch some holes and insert the floss. We find them to be quite a time saver when stitching, we hope you will too!

As for the Journal Pages... we sincerely hope you will start a stitchery journal, if you are not keeping one already. Particularly for the items that you give away as gifts, it is always great to keep an entry in a journal with a photo of the finished product.

These Journal Pages come prefilled with Design Name and Stitch Count; all you have to do is add a photo of your finished project, fill in the date etc., and start collecting your stitching memories.

Over the years these entries accumulate and it is always a pleasure to browse through one's own stitchery work.

About the Embellishment Packs:

We offer specialty fiber and bead packs for some of our designs. You will find the information on these packs in each in individual designs' information page. We offer the specialty fiber and bead packs separately so you can order just what you need.

You will find a complete list of what we offer in our downloadable/printable
Retail Price List.
