2006年7月6日 · They make a little floss-winder doo-hickey that makes the winding apparently easier, but I still don’t like the idea of winding my floss onto hundreds of little cards, and cramming the cards into a plastic box. It puts too many kinks in the floss, too many “stress” marks and fold marks. I know I would never do it with my silks! And the ...

2006年7月17日 · I have just invested in the new DMC Gold floss storage system. Basically the floss slips as is onto a “stitch bow” and the identification band from the floss fits onto the end of the bow and this then slides into a variety of storage devices. There are sleeves that hold 15 stitch bows and these sleeves file neatly into 2 ring binders.

2017年6月19日 · Thanks for all the wonderful floss organizing ideas, Mary. I like the idea of the floss drops, as a person could actually design their own and create what works for them. Of course, the cabinets are fabulous but a bit out of the budget for now. I’ll be mulling over the possibilities and sketching out some drop designs in the ol’ sketchbook.

2015年9月21日 · This requirement eliminated bobbins, floss bags, and the stitch-bow system. This left the LoRan thread cards and thread drops. I also wanted the ability to remove specific threads from the main group so that I could stitch with them, without having to carry around the whole thread card or a group of thread cards. This left thread drops.

2015年9月17日 · There must be something cross-stitches in the air. Having stayed away from cross stitch for years because I never liked any of the patterns, I have just discovered the Chatelaine cross stitches which are amazing! (Www.chatelaine.de). It doesn’t sound as big as yours, certainly not as many threads, but oh the joy when they all arrive in the post!

2012年4月12日 · I use the small, plastic storage chests of drawers from tool shops like Sears that are meant for screws, nails and other little bitty things. They are a l m o s t deep enough, front to back, for a skein of DMC floss and hold , for me, one skein of about 8 colors in each drawer.

2015年6月1日 · I also make my own floss cards for the large projects (think Teresa Wentzler; minimum 30 colors per project). I take empty cardboard boxes (cereal boxes, cracker boxes etc), use my hand held single hole punch and punch away (my hand gets tired after 20 or so holes). I then write the color/s and symbol (cross stitch) above the hole.

2012年4月10日 · In MacStitch, do you know if you can scan pictures into the software? Anymore information you can share with me to make a decision would be helpful! By the way, I read your article about you and your niece doing a counted cross stitch project. I love counted cross stitch, and just recently finished stitching a Long Dog baby sampler ...

2009年7月24日 · Way back, in the deep, dark beginning of the website, I wrote an article on thread organization & storage, exploring some of the more popular forms including bags and rings and such, and then followed it up with another article that included the file-a-floss system and EZ Bobs. So this isn’t really a new topic here, but it is another angle…

2017年3月20日 · Belle Soie from Classic Colorworks (Crescent Colours) is a 12-strand silk floss, hand-dyed, so there are variations in the colors (over-dyed as opposed to variegated). Rainbow Gallery – Splendor – 12 ply spun silk, fairly widely available in the US (many local needlework shops for cross stitch and needlepoint carry Rainbow Gallery). The ...
