Expert Profile: 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. :)

What do you like about this subject? It has been a hobby of mine for almost 22 years and I find it extremely relaxing and very rewarding. You can create projects that you can't buy in the stores, ranging from mugs, bookmarks, afghans, photo albums, address books, etc. All the items listed can be purchased at your nearest Hobby Lobby or Michaels craft stores or even Wal-Mart.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? Someday, I hope to start my own business from home making gifts. It's a tad time consuming and so I would need advanced notice. It's something unique for one person to give to another.

2008-11-21 DYING AIDA CLOTH: Hello, Kelly I've never dyed fabric before, so I couldn't honestly tell you how to go about doing it. If there's a Hobby Lobby or a Michaels near you, you can try looking there for black 18 count...

2008-11-16 Fading color: Hello, LaVonne Unfortunately, if you've washed the stocking in warm water, the green dye won't be able to be removed. You CAN try this method and see if it'll work, however, I can't guarantee that...
