RoboFramer, I suspect that there isn't anyone who is going to convince you to even try the product that you are giving so much advise about.
Well, I was going to leave this alone and said as much. But I did say I WOULD try this product before commenting further.
I have not given advice on this product, just comparisons and opinions basd on those, I have admitted that those opinions are not borne of first hand experience and have been corrected on some of them, but I have also made valid points based on my experience of doing things differently.
I'm not just a framer, our shop carries a huge amount of needlework and all the associated
accessories. My wife knows more than you or most anyone else on TG about the subject, sorry - I don't actually know if that is true, but I'd be very surprised if.......
And be it a football shirt, a sampler, a needlepoint, a cross stitch or a tu-tu - I'll sort it with a needle and thread, I'll pick the needle from about 80 types that we sell (not including machine needles) and the thread from an even more bewildering selection.
Some framers don't even know where to start looking for a selection like that and wouldn't know what to ask for if they found it, that is one reason that your gun is so popular. They are restricted to what they can find in framing suppliers catalogues and if big industry names say they are OK TOO then that is all they need to hear, which is absolutely fine.
I repeat, I WILL try it out, with an open mind, if I like it, it will have to be DARNED good and I will eat humble pie!
To answer another question of yours - how would I like it if someone slated a product of mine etc.
Well, to tell the truth, if it generated this much publicity on TG - most of it in defence of the product I'd be very happy.
