This is Kathy Dyer's site and it is the most complete site out there for needleworkers. Along with a huge list of links to other sites, designers, and companies, this site also contains thread conversions, free pattern listings, stitching help, historical information ...... the list just goes on and on. The complete faqs for the newsgroup RCTN are maintained by Kathy and offer the needleworker an amazing amount of information!

Hoffman is one of the largest distributors of patterns in the U.S. and they have graciously provided an "Online Reference Catalogue" with pictures. There is a search feature available by designer or subject to help you find just what you are looking for.

My other favorite mail order site. Lois is just wonderful and offers lots of extras to her customers like serging fabrics, special packaging, and tracking down elusive designs and supplies. Her stock is well rounded and her advice never wrong.
