The list is really useful! I'm just curious, but what are the magnets for? Finding needles? Nice site! I'm always looking for stuff on needlepoint and unfortunately there never seems to be that much of it out there.
Keep the good work!
Sounds complete to me! You have put a lot of thought into this list! Seems I always take tooo much, or not enough of the right things. Will keep this in mind, thanks so much for sharing!!! You have done an excellent job.
Good heavens. I have been designing, stitching and teaching for almost 40 years, and I only use what is in category 1. LOL that's a bit crazy - I've never heard of most of it.
Oh, wow. I'm completely overwhelmed. On the positive side, what an amazing class if those are all tools you'll use during the course of it! I'm bookmarking this for my wishlist.
