I got bored with cottage samplers, too!
Hi there! I’m Sarah and I want to empower you to enjoy a new hobby that relieves stress, heals through self-expression and creates long-lasting gifts for loved ones.
It’s so satisfying to create something with your hands, and even more gratifying when it sparks a conversation about something important, like the right of access to family planning resources.
The first Notorious Needle SAL, We Believe in 2021, was about universal human values. And I just loved the community of like-minded stitchers that grew up around it. It’s like watching your favorite TV show with a group of friends and talking each week about what happened and what will happen next.
My favorite part was seeing how folks modified the patterns and made them their own. It was just so beautiful.
So I definitely want to do that again.
And you deserve to be a part of that!
What other happy stitchers said about the previous SAL
FAQs
What is a Stitch Along?
A stitch along is an event where a stitchy community gets together to all make the same pattern over a predetermined period of time.
The pattern is delivered in pieces. Instead of getting the entire pattern at once, you get it a piece at a time.
For the Pro-Choice SAL, there are 10 pieces, one provided each Friday from April 15 through June 17.
How long will it take to finish?
If you follow along as the pieces are released, it will take 11 weeks to complete the Pro-Choice SAL.
No rush! You can go at your own pace. It will still be here. 😊
Do I have to show up at a specific time?
Nope! Come when you like! The shopping list, calendar, pattern pieces, tutorials and community will be available to you 24/7. You just log in any time after the release.
How long do I have access?
Most people will tell you “forever” or “for life”. What they don’t tell you is that it really means for the life of the company.
The honest truth is that you will have access for as long as the Notorious Needle exists.
Can I buy a kit?
Unfortunately, I am not able to provide kits.
But I will provide the exact list of supplies you will need to stitch and finish your project, and suggestions and links on where to buy them.
Do you offer refunds?
For instant downloads, I don’t usually offer refunds.
But for a SAL, I will give refunds until the first piece is released.
Please get in touch and email me at [email protected]
If you’re really unsure, you can peek at the full pattern by clicking the button at the bottom of this page.
How will I get inside after I purchase it?
Once the payment is processed, you will be redirected to the SAL home page. Plus, you will receive an email with a link to access the SAL.
Click the button on the SAL home page to enter and you will be brought to the Welcome section.
You should have created an account when you made the purchase, and that will be the account you use to log in (if you aren’t already logged in).
Once inside, you can just log in once per week to get the pattern pieces. Or you can sign up to get email reminders delivered directly to your inbox.
What comes with the SAL?
This is a digital product, so nothing will be sent through the regular mail.
The PDF patterns will be released every Friday from April 15th through June 17th.
There will also be a supply list and calendar, and video tutorials.
Plus, you can join the free Notorious Needle Facebook group and be part of a community of like-minded stitchers.
You mentioned a bonus pattern?
You’re gonna love this!
There was a particular phrase that I had intended to be a part of the SAL, but it was already SO big and I couldn’t figure out where to place it that would make sense.
So I created a whole DIFFERENT pattern!
It uses the same colors as the SAL and pulls in similar motifs so that you can easily recognize it as part of the same collection.
Just a little extra “Thank You” because I appreciate you. 💙
