It has come to my attention that over the last few weeks emails to me through my vettycreations.com.au address have not all been getting through. Not being terribly technical, and with my tech-head brother currently overseas, I haven’t really known what to do about it.
If you have tried to contact me and have had no reply, its not that I don’t want to, or don’t like you, its very possibly that the email hasn’t made it through to me. For this I apologise. Leave a comment below if this is the case, and I will get back to you privately on an alternative email address that I know IS working.
I have today contacted my hosting service to see if they can sort it out for me. Apparently my request is now underway, so hopefully all will be fixed soon.
Again, I apologise for any non-replies to emails you have sent. It is not my intention to ignore you.

Hi Yvette,
Phew, you haven’t fallen out with me!!!!!!!!
Computers are great when they work and awful at times, when they dont.
I did write and ask about specific stitches in your book, before I purchase.
Do you cover insertion stitches in detail such as faggoting, I think it may also be called cretan stitch. I have your Mountmellick book that you wrote with Pru, which has some stitches, but I am really keen to learn the basic fagotting stitch and the more advanced fagotting stitches. I think there is a double twisted one to??
Thanks in advance,
Marysia.
Hi Marysia. You’re definitely still my friend! But this is bizarre, as I have answered your question both times already following your comments on my posts… Oh well!
Here’s my answer copied again. 🙂
Unfortunately my book does not have faggotting stitches – I just couldn’t fit everything in! Yes, it is cretan stitch, though in Ethiopia they call it “chicken feet”!
The Complete Stitch Encyclopedia by Jan Eaton is a book that I have that has insertion stitches in it. I got mine very cheap, second-hand from Amazon Marketplace, I think. It has a few insertion stitches in it, and explains how to use paper behind the join to keep the fabric edges a set distance apart.
I hope that you get it this time!
