Email Your Needlepoint Guide
I'm so glad that you are visiting the needlepoint site. Like all the guides here at About.com, I am a real person. Though I try and answer any and all emails that I receive, before you post a question, please be sure that it can not be easily answered with information here on my site (you can use the search tool at the top of the page) or by posting in the forum.
If you still need to ask a question, you can email me. When life becomes really busy, it might take just a day or two for me to get back.
If you need a response to a question quickly, you might try posting to our forum. The forums provide a variety of experienced voices and can give you a prompt and helpful answer.
