    I used the pellets also in conjunction with some stuffing. You were lucky got those 3 “ recalled” books ! I made that very same X-Mss tree in ceramics class back in 1974. Gave it to my daughter years ago. The 2 Easter eggs are adorable!☺️ I got out all my Value Village $2.00 frames 2 months ago and my many finished cross stitch pieces. I was enthusiastic about making some fully finished objects, but was rushing to finish my niece’s wedding sampler for Aug 24, and have now lost interest. I must get back to this job! 🤔 I love watching your videos! Have a great week ahead! Cheers! 🧑🏻‍🦰🇨🇦👋

    So many treasures the poly pellets are used in place of the walnuts just use a little and the you fiber fill. They are safe for your crossstitch and you got a great deal on that package.

    I had the same experience at Joann's, but the wouldn't sell it to me. The manager told the cashier, "tear off the cover and throw in trash" 😢 I wanted it for the cat patterns. I was so sad. I'm glad you ladies saved them . Thanks for sharing all your stitchy goodness. 😊

  • @grandmaB1948

    It's just a guess but the recall of the Margaret Sherry magazine might be because there are charting errors on some of the charts. So watch your stitching when you work out of that magazine. I just finished a piece using etoile floss. The etoile colors match regular DMC so I used one strand of regular DMC with one strand of etoile. My finish isn't as sparkly but the stitching was a bit easier.

    Hi Sara: that shark is a hoot, oh my gosh the spider web fabric is so cool, using a laying tool would work for the thread to lay properly. It is a perfect frame, love your new treasures, the cat panel is so sweet, I use the pellets and fiber fill, I especially like it for my barrel finishing. You are lucky to have found Santa, I just took a felted class to make beetles it is so easy to do, I love peeps, so cute. I love frames that are banged up,they have character, see you soon.

    For the Etroile ( spelling?) You might use the snack size ( or what ever size you have on hand )ziplock baggies or the generic equivalent. That way they will not tangle up with the other threads. Being in the baggies it will tangle less upon itself.

    DMC etoille adds a nice sparkle to projects. I run it over thread magic or wax. It makes it a bit more manageable to thread the needle & helps the thread to lay nicely.

  • @aimeezellers814

    Yes, I have used poly pellets. They work great. I usually line my pillows with fusible interfacing as an extra barrier. I then fill with pellets. I sometimes intermix quilting scraps and pellets. Then, at the end, I will lay a piece of batting over the hole that I hand stitch closed so the pellets won't spill out. Poly pellets are great when you don't know if the recipient is allergic to Walnuts. I can't wait to see what you sew once you get going. Your Juki is a treasure. I have several machines, and my Juki comes out for the thick stuff.

    Use the Poly Pellets with Poly-fiber-fil instead of using walnut shells for pillows, start with the Poly-fil, get it into the corners and a good base of it. I don't add too much of the pellets. If you write on those labels, use a Frixion pen, so the ink can be erased & stickers re-used.
