Nan's Tips
   
 
On this and the linked pages we will try to offer our 30 years or so of stitching experience. We are starting small but will continue to add hints and ideas.

Please send us your own tips via e-mail. Be sure to let us know if it is alright to give you credit for the tip, such as "This hint from Alice Blue, Fenderson, Montana."

Not everyone will agree with all the tips and hints. For example, there is quite a bit of controversy around washing and blocking. Perhaps this can be a forum for thoughts on this and other areas of interest.

Happy Stitching!
