News 02 Apr 2017 - 06 May 2017

Spring is here and we've had another busy month with lots of quilts being delivered!

Polycotton Aida
We've noticed an increase in polycotton Aida squares being sent in. Could we ask stitchers to double-check that they are using 100% cotton (usually the Aida that is much cheaper than usual is polycotton). You can check by taking a thread of your Aida and setting fire to it (watch your fingers!) If it's cotton it will burn away to nothing. If it's polycotton it will melt.

Polycotton also melts under a hot iron, so it makes things more difficult for our quilters :)

A great source for Aida is Katzxstitch who sell budget cotton Aida already cut into our 13"x13" size. They also offer a discount code (please ask on our Facebook group or email us about this as they asked us not to post the code on our website)
