Model Stitchers

My daughter has now gotten to the point where she would like to do model stitching. Is there any advice you can give for me to pass on? I told her about the group here but not sure whether she ever got into the group or not.

Thanks, Donna

Hi Donna,

I don't use model stitchers myself (I have to stitch my own models in order to work out my designs) but I know that many model stitchers will contact designers directly, either via email or phone, and offer their services. Usually they will contact designers whose work they really love or admire, so they will (hopefully!) get to work on projects that they find enjoyable. LNS's often have a need for model stitchers to stitch models for their shop, so she could try contacting a few of those, as well. And there are also stitching services like Ghoststitchers

that need model stitchers, too.

Since your daughter has not done model stitching in the past, she will most likely be asked to provide samples of her work. She will also be expected to provide progress reports as she goes, and being able to meet deadlines is a MUST!

There is also a Yahoo group that connects model stitchers with designers, I forget the name but a search on Yahoo Groups should turn it up. She'll probably be able to learn all she needs to know to get started right from that group.

HTH!
