Stitch Meme

I’m late to this game, but here goes. I found this through Stitch Bitch, who found it on Kendra's blog.

1. How do you hold your fabric? In a hoop (usually) in my left hand.
2. Floss licker? Only when I’m at the end of the thread and trying to coax a stitch or two more out of it and need to keep re-threading.
3. How do you thread your needle? Hold thread at the very end between thumb and index finger of my left hand. Hold needle in my right hand and coax the hole over the threads in my left.
4. What needle do you like best? 24s. I hate beading needles. I want to try one of those double-pointed needles.
5. Are you a needle loser? I’ve lost my fair share.
6. What fabric do you prefer to stitch on? Linen and other evenweaves.
7. Bobbins or floss bags? I started with floss bags, as I hate winding. (And I agree with Jennifer’s husband about the kinks.) I’m slowly moving to stitchbows, because I’m lazy and can’t be bothered with the bags any more.
8. Are you a scissors collector? Nope.
9. Do you do your own framing, and if so, do you lace or pin? I’m a disaster at framing.
10. Are you a floss floozy? Not quite sure what this means, but I’m guessing yes, since I own the complete set of DMC and am working on my stash of GAST and WDW. I’m refusing to buy any other brands though. Enough is enough.
11. Silk? Not worth the cost, but I like the texture.
12. Railroader? Not really.
13. Are you a pattern or designer snob? No.
14. Do you get antsy when you give someone a stitched gift? Sometimes.
15. Have you reached S.A.B.L.E.*? Yes.
16. Do you wash your projects? Most of them.

*S.A.B.L.E. = Stash Acquired Beyond Life Expectancy.
