I am looking for some straight and zig-zag stitching and some bronze colored staples. Any ideas of good places to look? (I have been at this for just a few weeks, so pls. pardon my newness!)

Thanks!

Have you tried searching here? Click up at the top on Downloads. Then click Search. (Not the one in the Forums bar, but the one near Upload Photos.)
Enter what you're searching for under Keywords. Then enter elements as the username.
I found lots when I searched for stitch. Only found one when I searched for staple, but there are many many kits with staples. If they aren't bronze you can change the color.

I hope I'm not overloading you with info
Good Luck!
If you need more help, please feel free to repost!!

As for searching, I must be doing something wrong because I only come up with a handful in downloads by searching on "stitch" and username "element" I will keep looking.

Thanks so much!

If you go to the download section and go to 'search'. Put 'elements' in the username section and stitch in the keywords, you will get some results I think (I just did but I am also a subscriber so I might have received more results that you will)
Do the same for staple..

Hope that helps

Trish Jones has an awesome stitching set here in the shop. They come as brushes and . png files. Shabby Princess also has a great set at her site.

In her "Smiles" kit there is also a staple but it's more rusty then bronze; maybe you should have a look at it first.

HTH!

I was going to suggest Shabby Smiles kit too! It is a freebie to at Shabby Princess dot com site not the store btw. It has some other beautiful metal accents too. Second on her stitch set too, use them all the time (it's at the SP store)

Thanks so much! I have a few of the free Shabby Princess kits, but did not look at the Smiles kit. I will definitely download it tonight. Thanks again!
