We currently carry over 50 Designers. This month our Featured Designer is:
Kathy Scenkel
Kathy Schenkel brings a unique combination of talents together in her stitch-painted canvases. Each design reflects her education in graphic design, her love of stitching and her experience in needlepoint finishing.
Her canvases are simple, straightforward and easy to stitch. They are perfect for experimenting with different stitches and threads.

| Tip of the Month |
Oops!
Rip and Re-Stitch
If you need to rip and re-stitch an area, (we all do this at some point), be mindful of these tips:
1. Never reuse the yarn.
2. Never use a seam ripper.
3. Carefully cut the "wrong" stitches with your embroidery scissors.
4. Pull out the "wrong" stitches using a needle or tweezers.
5. Remember to anchor your ends again. You may need to unstitch a few "good" stitches in order to do this.
6. Lastly, take a deep breath and relax! If you follow these steps, no one will ever notice the re-stitched section. Happy stitching!
