Dear Mrs. Hapel, Your work is awesome! I have no words to describe it. It is very inspiring to see such beautiful things being made so perfectly well. I am an amateur embroiderer, hardly know anything about Schwalm Whitework, but I am intrigued about where to find cotton a broder or fleche these days. I particularly like rather fine cotton a broder, but it seems as if every shop that carried them is closing out, and it is harder to find every time.
.
Do you have any recommendation as far as suppliers of embroidery stuff is concerned, that one can buy online? Also, sources of supply for fine linens for white work embroidery. I thank you in advance for your kind attention to this request.
Regards,
Mireya
Thank you for the compliments, Mireya.
Lately I got a couple of requests for sources of supply coton à broder and linen. So I think it is best to make a list. This will take a while.
From where do you come?
