And as for needles you might want to get an pack with assorted (sharp)Embroidery needles. And here's some info on fabrics you could use: http://www.flickr.com/groups/embroideredstuff/discuss/72157623429806929/<br />Good luck & sorry we can't be there in person(s) to help out!Nicole Follow the White Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11552647840902000310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081508984453444156.post-25176838677318824342010-03-11T22:01:32.462-08:002010-03-11T22:01:32.462-08:00Hooray!

Savage little insect that it is. ;-) <br />You don't need much - a hoop (the non slip plastic ones are great), some needles, a washable/water-erasable fabric marker, some floss, and a pair of pretty embroidery scissors just makes it fun. ;-) You don't even need to know many stitches. I use split stitch, back stitch, french knots, the ocassional lazy daisy, and not much else!<br />I wish I could go shopping with you too!Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12684521431449553727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081508984453444156.post-14222928362645676942010-03-11T21:19:07.243-08:002010-03-11T21:19:07.243-08:00Ok guys, I've been bitten by the stitching bug...Ok guys, I've been bitten by the stitching bug. I'm planning a shopping trip this weekend to buy some embroidery supplies. I wish I could take the two of you with me because I feel like I don't really know what I'm doing. Wouldn't that be fun?!? :) <br /><br />Any advice for a beginner? Or maybe a list of your absolute favorite, can't live without, go to items?!? Pretty please?Little Bluebell (Adrianne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06805431890457344837noreply@blogger.com
