I have partnered with Jenn Bencharsky owner of Cute as a Button Needle Minders to curate a new series of needleminders!

New Fabrics add to the website!

It's been a busy fall and I have only now found time to add some of the new 2024 fabrics to the website!

Zweigart is now producing "Modena" Lugana in 36 count and Floba 36 count, a Linen Blend fabric.

If you have a suggestion for a new item please email: embroiderymarketplace@gmail.com

I am always on the lookout for new items to add to my website! I order patterns as they are requested so please email if you are looking for a particular designer

New Threads for the Fall!

Au Ver a Soie has released a new selection of shade sets for the popular twisted silk - Soie 100/3. This thread is used by Sampler designers and is great to use on 40 count linen as you only need one strand.

Sets and individual spools can be ordered, I have Soie 100/3 in 150M spools as well!

New Stitching Stand - Built in Alberta!

I have a new stitching stand available, Trestles! What are they, you say!

Trestle are a European style of stitching stand used at the RSN (Royal School of Needlework) to support large Slate Frame/Stretcher Bars when working on long term projects. They support your work along both sides and can be raised and tilted to help you sit upright, not stressing your back.

The Trestles are made to order in 3 different wood types and can be special ordered in other woods (additional cost). Made to last a lifetime and with the fine finishing of classic handmade furniture, they will make an amazing centerpiece to your Craft-room or Livingroom.

$100 non-refundable deposit due when ordering and Robert estimates 4-6 weeks to process new orders. I will have a set of Walnut Trestles to show off at my Pop Up Event in August!

Always in Stock

The Newest always in stock item is … DMC Perle #12 balls

There are some items that everyone needs to be in stock when you want it ... for me DMC floss is one of those items.  It always frustrates me when you go into a store (who will remain nameless) and they are out of stock on most of the thread.  You are all excited to start a new pattern and you are pulled down to Earth, your bubble bursts, your dreams are shattered .... well a little over the top but you all know the feeling.

I am going to create a core group of items that will always be in stock (barring unforeseen disasters ... like the zombie apocalypse or a ship stuck in the Suez Canal), I will try to have 2 skeins of each colour in stock.

Included in my "Always in Stock" are ....

DMC embroidery floss (solid & variegated)

DMC Perle Cotton #5 & #12! (other sizes by special order)

Weeks Dye Works Stranded Cotton

Appleton Crewel 2 ply wool (skeins only)

Classic Colorworks Cotton floss

Mill Hill Seed Beads (size 11 & 15)

"Always in Stock" DMC (Floss, Perle #5 & Perle #12)
