Once we have done that, the glue sets rapidly, so we can wipe it or brush it up. The only place it may stick is on the surface of any exposed glue. There should be none on the front of your needle minders! 8/8

Some of them are concave on the back, we can add more super glue gel to act as a filler, but it will take a while to set. We can use bicarbonate of soda as a catalyst to help it set quicker. I have a tub that is separate from the kitchen. Shake it about and pinch some over the glue and magnets. 7/n

Next we can put it somewhere for the glue to set. I used some metal tape to keep it secure. 5/n

Put one magnet where we added the glue, put the other magnet on front so it pulls the glued one exactly where we want it. 5/n

Let’s add some super glue gel where we want the magnet. Not too much, but not too stingy either. 4/n

Found this old photo, a proper blast from the past! It’s from the PlayStation experience, 2002 I think. We were there showing off AoD, pretending it was on track to be released in three months time. It then got delayed by a further year. I’m the one at the front centre.

We bought some nice usb powered lights so we could see our cross stitch a bit better in the evenings. I was looking at them and figured they must come in two versions, one with a battery. Anyway, my suspicions are confirmed. The board is unpopulated for battery charging though.

The lions head shield is done. The background was going to be white, but maybe I’ll do a silvery grey? #CrossStitch

So it works fairly well, bit of a faff locking the bobbin in place though.
