Question
I am starting a new project on linen. Do you prefer one linen over another? Is Wichelt and different from Hardinger or Zwiegart? I am doing a very detailed 32 count project and want a nice finished, neat project. I know not all linen is easy to work with us, could you please advise. Thanks
Hello again, Chi
You can find the Q-Snap hoops at either Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and here: http://www.123stitch.com/cgi-perl/abcSearch/search.cgi They come in various sizes, and they last for a very long time. :)
I hope that helps. Good luck, and happy stitching!
Sincerely,
Angela :)

Expertise
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. :)
