Welcome to ChitChat!

Good Tuesday morning everyone. A little bit of a late start this morning, but I was delving into Ancestry a little bit more. It's really a little convoluted figuring out everything on there, but I'm starting to get it a little better. We decided to bake a ham this morning, too, so it was kitchen duty. Finally, I'll be able to stitch a little bit and maybe finish another row on "Lady". Have a terrific Tuesday and keep smiling!

I am trying to find DMC's Stitch Bow binder inserts that hold 15 DMC Stitch Bow Floss holders. I have searched DMC's website and Amazon, but only find the minis. Do they no longer make the larger capacity binder inserts?

Today is Tuesday ………………………………….………….. Good Morning, MJ 💕

Crazy going on…3 police cars just went flat out flying by our house…

Still stitch away at this one hahaha

Are the flosses becoming thinner lately ? Or am I imagining this ? I always use 2 strands with 14 count and today I am fining that I need 3 strands. what ? I did actually count the little holes per inch and they do measure up to 14 holes per inch. The holes seem larger but I feel that 2 strands will not cover the way I like it to be so I am using 3 strands. Is it that the floss is thinner than usual ? I am using DMC...Have any of you found this to be true ?

What is the best size needle for 18-count Aida, please? My kit calls for 2- and 3-strand floss to be used. I had a 1 3/8" long needle that came with the kit, but it broke, so I need a replacement.

Thank you!
