Tip Tuesday - September 1, 2026 - 6 Ways to Tame Unruly Floss & Friends with the OOH Squad

Tip Tuesday: Tangled floss testing your patience?

For this week’s Tip Tuesday, we asked the OOH Squad how they handle twisting, knotting and generally unruly floss. From letting the needle unwind itself to separating every strand—and knowing when it’s simply time to start fresh—we each have our own tried-and-true approach!

Scroll down for six tips that may make your next embroidery or cross-stitch project a little smoother.

What’s your go-to trick for taming troublesome threads?

Maker Spotlight - September 1, 2026 - Bears made by Patti O and Lorie K

It’s Maker Spotlight —and we have a whole gathering of handmade friends to share! 

Patti O and Lorie K have brought in this wonderful collection of bears, each with its own personality and thoughtful details. From classic teddies to wonderfully whimsical characters, they’re such a lovely reminder of the many bear-making projects, classes and supplies that have been part of Out of Hand over the years.

If you have a half-finished bear tucked away—or a pattern you’ve been waiting to begin—perhaps this is your sign to bring it back to the sewing table!

We still have a (very) small selection of bear-making supplies available in store, but it is limited. Most of all, we simply couldn’t resist celebrating Patti and Lorie’s beautiful work. Thank you both for sharing your charming creations with us!
