Releas...I'll echo bits and pieces of the above! Release each as an individual design but include the floss requirements for the entire series. Valdani can issue the floss used for the whole set, which is likely what most people will do. Anyone wishing to do only parts of the set can order and purchase just what they need, or buy the whole Valdani set and add to their stash. Then, post the finishing instructions for the entire series as a freebie. Knowing you'll get the finishing instructions for free may entice some to buy the whole series!Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10690945677345263594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486902113258728399.post-69406304775276588302012-08-23T06:19:29.997-04:002012-08-23T06:19:29.997-04:00First to answer your question.

I would release the info about doing them together as a freebie via the web. <br /><br />Second of all, I think news of HDF stopping the floss business is a bit premature. You might want to get talk to her directly to get the facts. This news is sort of like telling my family I am going to die. Well yes, but not tomorrow! (Smile!)<br /><br />Love your designs and I enjoy reading your blog.

When each season arrives at their LNS they can look at the floss left from the previous chart and figure out how much of each skein of floss they will need to continue, which is how it would be whether they stitch one or all. I have turned many stand alones into samplers, as I know you have too and it is so much fun to see it progress, especially the wait for the next one's release. I for one cannot wait, and will be stitching them as a sampler :)<br />Already had my coffee...can you tell?
