@lemmy_stitch @crossstitch @embroidery @textilearts @fiberarts @fibrearts So! I've posted the Iris Color Chart, their conversions and my own conversions in case anyone else buys Hobby Lobby's thread packs and wants to have an easy(er) time of converting to DMC. They are the Primary, Pastel and Variegated Colors thread packs, and Iris apparently sells to Michael's and other retailers too. #HappyStitching! 😄

@Hobbes_Dent Sorry about that. I've copied the link from my YouTube and going to try to add it to my post in case there's any more problems with it.

@KittenBiscuits @LaunchesKayaks I use my compression gloves all the time while stitching. They help reduce fatigue and swelling...and they make my hands look fancier while I'm working! 😉

@BachToTheFuture @crossstitch @lemmy_stitch @embroidery @fiberarts @fibrearts Very true! 😄

@Fermion Yes. A #TrolleyNeedle is a type of #LayingTool, though the manufacturer says it can be used for other purposes too. In #CrossStitch, a laying tool is used to make sure stitches lay flat. I use mine to help me catch knots starting to form as I'm #Railroading stitches so the don't get unmanageable. I also feel that they look much nicer combining the Railroading with the use of the trolley needle.

Again, I didn't have room to tag everyone I wanted to in my original post, so I hope this works.

@WarmSoda I found it on Facebook quite a while ago. It made me laugh, so I saved it and just found it again, so I just had to share some giggles. 😄

@catsdoingcatstuff @MrJameGumb Especially while winding Bobbins so the can get tangled up in a free end...

@MrJameGumb I still do all mine by hand. 🙂 I have a bit of OCD, especially when it comes to organizing cross stitch & other creative supplies. But I'm also a little strange to most people because I actually enjoy winding bobbins almost as much as I enjoy stitching. I think I was just wired to love textiles, art, crafts--anything creative altogether, whether it has to do with the supplies to make pretty things, organizing them, designing a new project, kitting it up--whatever. I just love it all!

@MrJameGumb Bobbins, floss caddies, all fabric in a computer bag, most tools in floss box with one section always open for ORTS (cleaned out following each project). Also have some "Stitch Folios" to keep hoops, larger fabric scissors, some craft baggies and a few other things in like pin backs, D-rings and split rings (for key chain fobs), etc. Extra skeins are in a gallon sized ziplock in the same computer bag as the fabric. I use the Thread Stash app to help keep track of embroidery floss.
