Special Orders

I am always willing to special order anything that I do not normally carry in stock. Things such as charts, kits, fabrics, fibers, Sudberry House items, and more. These items will be handled on a case by case basis but usually charts, kits, fabric, and fiber do not require payment in advance although some exceptions apply. Sudberry House items do require payment in advance.

You may also special order any beaded scissor fobs, chatelaines, and other beaded items in special sizes or specific colors or stones. A price quote and time frame will be given upon request.

These items are custom and will not be made until payment has been received.

Items from The Bag Lady and Votre Grandmere can be special ordered for specific sizes and/or color family but exact fabrics cannot be promised. Payment of at least 1/2 is required for these special orders.

I will accept a payment plan for these items and any of the larger items on my site. Please email me privately for arrangements.

You may make payments each month based upon the estimated time for stitching, again please ask for details.

Once an order has been placed, the first payment has to be made before the stitching will commence. The first payment is non-refundable.

Personalizing pieces such as wedding samplers, birth samplers and Christmas Stockings, are included in the cost. However, if other pieces are personalized an extra charge will be added. Finishing is also extra. No framing will be done.

Samplers which normally have the needle workers initials and the date stitched will be stitched using the initials of the stitcher and the date completed.
