Comfortable with using floss, pearl cotton, merino wool and/or tapestry wool.
Level 2
Expanding on foundation stitches and learning Alternating Continental, T-Stitch, Brick Stitch and its variations. Learning to read stitch diagrams that also include verbiage. Starting to learn how to compensate a stitch that cannot be completed within a defined area. Working with a mixture of single strand and pliable threads on one project to add depth and dimension. Adding stitches that build off of Tent such as Mosaic, Scotch and Cashmere.
Level 3
Learning more complicated stitches such as Rhodes, Byzantine, and Herringbone. Also adding composite stitches into repertoire such as Criss-Cross Hungarian. Reads stitch diagrams with or without numbers and verbiage. Understands compensation. Adding textured threads including man-made fibers intended for metallic, sparkly, and fluffy effects to projects and can work through shading effectively. Uses a stitch guide for projects and sticks to it. Comfortable plying and or blending threads.
Level 4
Enjoys a good stitch guide but is willing to dismiss parts in order to incorporate personal artistic interpretation. Has a library of "go to" stitches and can work through all variations of Turkey Work, Jessica Stitch, Crescent Stitch and Openwork Background stitches. Comfortable compensating in complex design areas. Ok with random stitches such as long and short stitches. Views a stitch guide as just a guide and is comfortable using stitches other than what is recommended.

Exactly what I needed. Good quality and easy to install.
Hard to find. Most viewed on other sites used a Velcro tape.
Very well made scroll rods. I added sticky back hook and loop tape to mine to keep the canvas tight. Makes stitching a joy.
Product was exactly what I needed. Also would like to give props to the customer service team. My initial order was lost in transit and customer service was great at communicating with me and made sure I received a replacement package quickly.
Working on a large canvas and needed longer dowel rods. They were delivered direct from the vendor in three days which I thought was great. Fit my system four scroll frame holder perfectly
