Do I have to pay more on Patreon if I need international shipping?

No!

Shipping costs are included in the tier subscription price, you don’t have to pay an extra

They also have more in and cost less so what are you waiting for?!

If I subscribe to Patreon mid month do I still get that month’s kit?

Yes!

You will be charged up front the day that you subscribe. This means that you have paid for that month and will receive that month’s benefits i.e. the kit/PDF etc

Future payments will always be taken on the 1st of each month and benefits will be posted as soon as payments clear.

What pen do you use the transfer your embroidery designs on to your fabric before you start stitching?

I use a Pilot frixion pen.

The ink is heat erasable so can be erased with an iron or hot hairdryer when you are done stitching. It can reappear at very cold temperatures but can always be erased again.

All of you kits come with pre-printed fabric so you don’t have to transfer you’re design unless you prefer that method

How many strands of embroidery floss do you typically use?

Just one!

It helps to get the most detail as possible into a small space. It can be especially important in threadpainting and Blackwork.

Do you have any tips for starting Blackwork Embroidery?

I have designed a cheat sheet specifically for beginners which explains exactly how to get started. It now comes in all Blackwork kits and all new patterns instead of the stitch guide (which is not useful for Blackwork).

I also have a YouTube tutorial on how to do basic blackwork stitching which you can find here

Do I need to draw the design onto the fabric when doing Blackwork Embroidery?

No!

For my patterns and designs it’s really important that you don’t do this or your drawing won’t line up with the holes in the fabric. The fabric is counted as is the pattern, you should count where to put the stitches not draw them on and guess.
