Mary, I can't seem to find any of the 100s in your list of threads...I even have an old chest from a friend who has had threads for ages & they aren't there either. Could you tell me what color they are so I can find substitutes? Thanks! Anxious to get started.

Hi, Shiela -
Numbers 158 - 161 are four shades of blue. If you find a blue that has a four-shade range, you'll be good!

Shiela from Ca, if you have a Michael's near you they should have those blue shades 158-161, that's where I found mine here in NC
They are new DMC colours here too!
I only found those 100s in one shop (the best one...).
Thanks for all the help!
i do not see an "editor's Floss column on the right side that is indicated under the photo...
Hi, Monica -
The "Editor's Floss" is on the right side of the web page, at the top. It's the first menu of links in the right hand column...

The long and short lessons have been wonderful. Though I have not entirely been able to keep up I have learned so much and really appreciate the time spent putting the series together.
Actually, several years ago I decided to duplicate exactly anything new that I learn. So yes, I would use a design from a book and duplicate colors, etc and have done it many times. That is how I learn the first time. After that I make my own adjustments to whatever new technique I am learning. Thanks for a great site.
Mary,
I have sure enjoyed your complete instructions the pictures are great.
Would I change or go by what the instructions say. If it is how to make a stitch I would probably try it their way as that is how that particular stitch is done and try to learn how to do it. If it is a kit and it said to use this stitch and I felt another stitch might be better I would change. It is my art form and I am a changer and do it my way but the stitches need to be learned right.

Hi Mary
I have learned a looot about embroidery from your site,in fact you are my first teacher.Really thankful for all your tutorials.I went through the long and short stitch tutorial also.
I found another tutorial by Helen M Stevens here http://www.fritillary.co.uk/mlol_classes/lol-free/Welc.htm . After going through this I have a confusion.Here she have used only long stitches for the flower.Can we use long and short stitch for shading the petals here.Why was long and short stitch not used here.Is there a basic difference in the techniques applied.Sorry if my concept is wrong.Can you please clear my confusion.
Hi, Sarika -
There are different ways of filling shapes. I believe Helen begins with a row of long and short stitches, and then all her stitches after that are long, but they vary in length, because the first row was long and short. I'll have to take a look at her tutorial to see how she does it.
Notice that, with her threads and the way she does the filling, she achieves a different look, too - it's not quite as full, but very light.
Thanks for pointing out the link!
