  2. Cool. I am always getting painted hands because I need to turn the project. This would come in handy.

  4. holycowboy… I was thinking about making something like this, and I would LOVE to get my hands on this freebee!

  8. This would be so great to have. Not only would I use it…but also my kids could use it for their art. Thanks for an opportunity to win!

  9. I have a house full of projects with fingerprints on them, enough to know I need a Craft-N-Spin! I like to put my own stamp on things, but I’d prefer this to be in a creative sense.

  13. Wow, could I use one of those! I do quite a bit of paint and polymer clay projects. Having to turn my artwork while working on it has always been awkward and messy. Craft N Spin is a terrific idea!

  17. Oh!
    This would be awesome for painting without accidentally smudging the wet paint, especially on sculpted pieces. Count me in!

  18. I could have used that at christmas. I had a flat mat with spikes, but have no idea where it went. Would be nice to be able to paint pieces without the paints smudging.

  21. I would love one of these. I have a limited crafting space as it is, and when I have to rotate manually all the glue/paint/embellishments come off (& get on me) thanks for the giveaway

  27. As a mother of two children in school we are constantly working on a variety of projects. The new craft and spin looks like it will be perfect for handling craft with a light touch and minimal mess!

  30. This is fabulous. I would really love to have one. I do lots of crafts with my granddaughters
    and it would be a great tool for them to use.

  52. This is one of those fabulous “now-why-didn’t-I-think-of-that” products. Definitely a cool idea! Thanks for the great giveaway!

  53. What a clever idea! I do crafting too and never am patient enough to wait for the paint to dry on one side before touching it to turn it over! lol Thank you for such a nice give-a-way chance!

  57. This is an awesome idea!! Thank you so much for the opprotunity to win one of these. This would be great not only for me but whenever the grandkids come and do crafts at my house they could use it too. : )

  58. This is a wonderful invention that I would appreciate being considered for. I could be good word of mouth advertisement for it too. : )

  59. This looks cool! Very much like the spinning platforms you use for decorating cakes. I never would have thought to apply this to everyday crafts, but it makes so much sense!

  60. This is an awesome invention!!! Thank you so much for the opprotunity to win this. Not only would it be great for me, but whenever my grandkids came over to do crafts they could use it too.

  66. This would be wonderful to win, I can think of many projects that it would work perfectly for.
    Thank you for giving me a chance to win.

  72. The Craft n Spin would be perfect for me. I do some brush stroke painting on objects and some fiber art work also and it would be useful for both.

  73. This is brilliant. I’ve been using make-shift versions for years. None were as good as this. Thanks.

  75. This is really a great gadget…I just signed up for February’s Thing a Day and would love to have this…

  78. This product looks amazingly functional! I would really like to win, because right now I get so frustrated when I am crafting, especially having to move the object around so much!

How to Rip Out Cross Stitch Mistakes

I’ve recently been doing more embroidery than usual, and while I do tend to be rather intuitive when I stitch rather than planning it out too much or caring if all the stitches are perfect, there was a particular section that I felt the need to rip out. Twice.

In cross stitch as well as embroidery, there may come a time when you need to rip out a few stitches or a big section of a project. Maybe you put a stitch or a few where they didn’t belong, used the wrong color or just didn’t like the look of something once it was on the fabric.

What’s the best way to work back in cross stitch? As with most things, the answer is it depends.

But for a look at your options, I don’t think I’ve seen a better rundown than this post from Sirious Stitches. There’s a video in the post if you don’t want to read it all, but either way there are some great ideas and things to think about when you need to rip out stitches.

I think we’ve all stitched backwards from time to time when we put a stitch or two in the wrong place, but it’s helpful to know what the best solution is when you’ve got more ground to cover. Or uncover, in this case.

Personally I was a little afraid to use a seam ripper but I’m glad to see that’s a valid option if you’re careful.

The post also has good tips for cleaning up your project after you rip things out, since you might have some stray thread tails of fuzzy bits that need to be dealt with before you get back to stitching.

There’s lots of great stuff in there worth reading before you need it and keeping handy in case you need to remove a bunch of stitches from a project.

Have you ever ripped out a lot of cross stitch? I’d love to hear how you went about it.
