Hello – First: fantastic blog!
I also find myself with numerous projects going on at the same time

If you have any tips on using the new light effects threads or any metallics – that would be great. I find them always twisting and shredding on me even though I am careful.

Your tips are truly wonderful keep it up, and Thanks!

Thanks for these wonderful ‘storing tips’! I have at least 12 projects going on at the present time, but have stored them in plastic bags in the past. Keep up the good work………..happy stitching forever!

I love to cross stitch, however, the past few years I have had trouble with my vision. I just can’t seem to see the intricate patterns like I used to. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make the fabric and patterns larger so I don’t have to strain so much? Thanks!

You have great tips that I didn’t before. Thanks for the blog!

I’m a project roller upper person, I roll it up in a tissue paper, then put that in the acid free project bags…. well for longer term storage. For short term on the go I throw all the stuff in the acid free project bag and throw that in my tote bag and off I go!

My dad is a plumber and years ago, he gave me a piece of PVC pipe with two caps on it that I roll larger pieces to store them. I have two velcro straps that hold it in the corner of the closet, out of the way.

I keep the supplies for projects in those zippered bags that linens come in when you buy them and they all go in a big square basket.

It would be great to actually finish a long-term project, though!

Hello Iona,

I hope you don’t mind me getting in touch, I’ve been reading your fabulous blog.

Would you be interested in giving your opinion for a feature we’re running in Cross Stitch Gold magazine? We would just need a nice quote and a hi-res image of yourself. Our subject is:

What is THE essential cross stitch tool, in your opinion? Chart markers? Scissors for unpicking? Or something more unusual? What can’t you live without?

It would be great to hear from you,
Best wishes,
Katriel
