Cross Stitch/Expert Profile
Expertise
I can answer questions about cross stitch, pulled threads and some hardanger including questions about fabric, fibers, techniques, and speciality stitches. I can also answer some questions about pattern location and designer searches. I have been stitching for 35 years.
What do you like about this subject?
