  1. You mention Floss Tube often in the interviews. Could you do a program about what this is, where can I find it, how can I get started with it?

    1. Karen,
      Thanks for listening. Floss Tube is a relatively large group of videos that needleworkers post on YouTube, primarily to share what they are doing with their stitching projects. Among my favorites are Arlene Cohen, Vonna Pfeiffer (The Twisted Stitcher), and Nicole Neville (Nicole’s Needlework). The best way to handle things is to sign in to YouTube so it creates an account for you. I use my gmail email address to sign in. Then, search for Floss Tube people, such as the three I mentioned above. If you find someone you enjoy, subscribe to them and you’ll get notified each time they post a new video. You can accomplish the same thing by logging in on your computer or using the YouTube app on your phone or tablet. Be careful. Watching Floss Tube videos can suck up a lot of stitching time. ?
      Good luck, enjoy, and thanks again for listening to Fiber Talk.

  2. Excellent podcast. Another thing people are doing with fur coats is making teddy bears for grandchildren. We need to do a stump work stitch-a-long. I love Jane’s stump work dragonfly book. Our local library carries it. I would love to do one of the caskets, but the cost is a little beyond me.

    1. I’m going to be happy if I can make two leaves. Thanks for listening.
