Fabric – Silk Organza
Price range: $7.04 through $14.08 USD
Sorry I am not mailing the silk fabric to the USA at this time.
The silk organza fabric is a fine transparent fabric that is strong, non-stretchy, non-shiny and non-glossy unlike some organza fabrics. It makes a great fabric for shadow work embroidery as the embroidery becomes the feature and not the fabric.
The embroideries in the pictures opposite are worked on silk organza fabric in herringbone stitch.

Stretcher Bar Frames
Sorry I am not mailing Stretcher Bar Frames to the USA at this time.
Stretcher bars are inexpensive wooden embroidery frames in which the fabric can be pulled really tight. The end of the bars have teeth that you slot together to form a frame at any size that you require for your needlework. I recommend the stretcher bar frames to work my hand embroidery kits in because they are very quick to assemble and the fabric stays taught in the frame.
I highly recommend purchasing the brass thumb tacks which are stronger and sharper than office supplies thumb tacks or quilters thumb tacks.

Needles – Beading
I carry the hard to find short beading needles which are excellent for goldwork embroidery when the size 10 embroidery/crewel needle will not fit through the center of purl or bullion threads. The needles are also good for very fine needle painting/thread painting. The needles are 1 1/4 inch ( 3 1/4 cm) long. The beading needles have a long slender eye for easier threading and a choice of sharp point or tapestry (ball) point. I carry size 12 (finest).
The size 12 short sharp beading needles are equivalent to the size 12 crewel embroidery needles.
I also carry (regular) long beading needles for your beading needs which are 2 inches (5 cm) long.

Fabric – Lugana Black 25 Count – Sale
Lugana fabric is a blend of 52% cotton and 48% rayon.
The fabric has even weave threads so that stitches/patterns will work out more regular than on an uneven weave such as linen fabric. It has a nice smooth and firm surface so that when the embroidery is complete the viewer sees the embroidery and is not distracted by the fabric.
I have few pieces of Black 25 Count Lugana fabric on sale as there is a fold crease down the center of the fabric that may not wash or iron out. Excellent value if you intend to cover the entire surface with stitching.

It makes an ideal ground fabric for needle painting and other forms of surface embroidery. I use the southern belle fabric in my needle painting kits. It can be used as extra support behind the ground fabric when working goldwork and as a backing fabric for silk fabric.

Needles – Crewel Embroidery
Embroidery or crewel needles have a long eye for easier threading, a slender shaft and a sharp point to the needle so that the stitches can be worked close together and there is more control for the placement of the stitches.
The needles can be used for surface embroidery and sewing.
Crewel/embroidery needles are not suitable for counted thread work as the point of the needle would easily catch the threads of the fabric, distorting the counted work.
Size 10 are my choice needles for fine surface embroidery in which only one single strand of silk thread or embroidery cotton is used.
For very fine embroidery. when only using a single strand of fine thread or for sewing down No. 8, No. 9 and No. 10Â gold purl threads use size 12 crewel embroidery.

Magnifiers – Magni-clips

The magni-clips are magnifiers that clip onto the bridge of your glasses, they can be flipped up when not in use and put down over your glasses for close up work.
The magni-clips are light weight and rimless so as not to distract from your stitching. Excellent for all types of hand embroidery and close up work.
If you do not know the magnification that you require I suggest trying out different reading glasses over your current glasses to find out the magnification that you require.
