I like them! I like the ones with inside and outside stitches too - I think it adds a lot. The Simon ones are calling my name after I got to play with a friend's set
I like them too, in fact just bought a couple, okay a little more than a couple because I thought they were so great looking! Need to get busy so I can use them, I have a lot of ideas floating around.....
I love love love stitched dies. I have a good size collection from different companies but nearly every die from Lil Inker. I love the way the stitching looks on cards.
I love them, I think they finish off the shape perfectly. I have the silhouette too, but havent tried stitches with those designs. I feel the dies do the job perfectly, just wish I had more.
Sooooo I just finished reading the stamping graveyard thread and realized I am still apparently using very UNtrendy supplies and then I come to this thread and I don't even know what the heck you are talking about so I guess I am pretty far out of the loop! Perhaps if I read blogs all day instead of darn FB......LOL
Yes, you are the only one getting tired of all the stitched dies LOL. I love them. And I think it is MFT that just came out with a set of stitched edge dies that will stitch both sides of the cut - gonna get that one for sure.

Cinnestew, don't worry- you are not alone, lol. I don't own a single stitched die- they just don't do it for me. I'm one of those for whom stitching on cards, or buttons for that matter, just don't grab me. In fact,I own very few of what I'd term 'latest trend' items at all. I'm afraid they all just go straight past me, .
I agree! I love both the stitched and pierced dies, 'lil inker, my favorite things, my creative time with emma, and others. They do add that unique touch. As mentioned, it's super easy to add stitching perforations using a sewing machine. I prefer dies over machine stitching, but find machine stitching a great alternative!
Ok, are you guys talking about the little pierced holes that outline the die cut? Or are you talking about actual stitching with thread? Machine stitching? Hand stitching?

I like the look of the stitched dies. However, I just retired and have to be very frugal about my crafting supplies now. The trade-off was worth it!!
Here are a couple of alternatives to buying the new dies, Use a perforating tool, applied lightly, for a stitched look. Use Memory Makers Sew Easy tool for even pierced holes.
I didn't even know they existed until I read the stamping graveyard thread. I usually am up on things even if I don't partake in the trend. How did I miss these? I love the look and will be looking into what is available and the affordability. I was considering a perforating tool and seeing Covingtom Crafter mention it makes me think I may check that out before I spend more money.
Marking tools can also be found with sewing/quilting supplies- and they are probably cheaper then the 'craft' version, lol. Its like a rotary wheel, and transfers marking onto fabrics? But will make a line of small holes on card/paper. You can run it along the edge of a ruler if you need straight lines.
Take your 1/16 Hole punch and make your stitch hole looks. I been doing this ever since I started stamping... Someone told me about it a long time ago... "What's Old Is New Again".:p

I don't know what the stitched dies are either!!!!!
I do own SU's Top Note die that has stitched lines. I've had it for a long time. I'm off to google stitched dies!
