Custom Stitch Guide Writers

Besides some shops that will write a stitch guide for you, there are individuals you can hire.  There are fewer custom guide writers than you would think.  Stitch guide writing is very time-consuming and it also pays very little.  (Yeah, I know you think paying $125 for a guide is outrageous but it probably would take me thirty hours spread out over 3-4 weeks between my other responsbilities to write one this size which means I'm paid $4.17/hr.)  Most famous stitch guide writers teach classes instead, and sell the guides after they are commissioned to do them for a class.

If you write custom guides and I didn't list you, email me at chillyhollow@sgfromchnp@gmail.com so I can add you to the list.  Thanks!

Here are the folks and shops you can talk to about custom guides, listed alphabetically by last name or shop name.  Contact information is in the Contacts List.
