If you joined the project since April 2014 you may not be as familiar with its contents as the "pioneer" stitchers. In addition to articles of interest it addresses most of the questions we frequently receive in emails. These include:

What is the preferred way to return my completed stitching?http://torahstitchbystitch.temmagentles.com/events-activity/sending-completed-panels/
How much room is there for borders and illustrations?http://torahstitchbystitch.temmagentles.com/design-and-technique/layout-for-text-borders-illuminations/
I really want to start again. Can I get a fresh piece of aida cloth?http://torahstitchbystitch.temmagentles.com/design-and-technique/ensuring-your-panels-place-in-our-exhibition/

Above: Genesis 20: 1–4 • Linda Morganstein

While journeying Abraham and Sarah enter Abimelech’s kingdom. Fearful that the king desires Sarah for his harem and will try to get rid of Abraham, the couple lies about their relationship. The border on the left asks, “wife? sister? wife? sister?” This points both to the ambiguous terminology used for relationships in ancient times, as well as moral equivocation present even among our first patriarch and matriarch.
