Cross Stitch/Threads

Expert: Angela - 1/1/2009


Question
I have inherited 2 cases of c/stitch threads. There is no packaging to say who made them etc.  All the numbers on these I can not seem to match up with any known maker (ie: anchor, dmc etc...).
Do you know where I might find a conversion for these?  
Some of the numbers are: 8120,7258,0935,7257,7923 (these are all various shades of green).  I have 2 containers with all different colors in them.  Hope you can steer me in the right direction.  Thanks so much for your help.

Answer
Hello, Belinda

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with those numbers, and I'm thinking that they may have come from a kit that someone stitched some time ago.

I'm sorry that I am not helpful with your question.

I wish you a very Happy New Year!

Sincerely,

Angela

I have 22+ years of cross stitching experience, which includes stitching on Aida, evenweave linen, vinyl canvas, and have stitched a design on a cotton t-shirt using waste canvas. I have also worked with beads and blending filament in quite a few projects. I have made many projects which include cross stitched mugs, a keychain, pictures, magnets, and the cotton t-shirt. I can answer questions pertaining to preparing and cleaning fabric, preparing clothing for stitching, how many threads to be used on which Aida cloth, and will try to help you to the best of my ability with other questions you may have. I am prompt in my responses and usually answer within 24 hours from when you ask your question. I look forward to helping you. :)
