Dear Arachnids Looking forward to seeing your three overlapping rings Jane. I am currently struggling with a piece of floral Bucks for my next book. It has nook pins everywhere and is proving a beast to get the pins in the exact positions so that someone with limited floral Bucks experience can ma

Good luck with your Incy Wincy Spider, Nancy Support pins are pins set back a little way from the first row of stitches - you hang the pairs on support pins while you work the first pinhole(s) using those pairs, then take the support pins out and tension gently to get the threads neatly round
