The Gingham Stitchery has a new designer--Krissy Johnson Designs. This video introduces Krissy and some of the new items (some inserts, some dimensional, some ornaments) from her talented brain that debut at the March 2024 Spring Market. These aren't on the Gingham Stitchery website yet, so pay attention!
It's a fun look at a new designer, her life, how she got into needlepoint and of course the designs she has created for our stitching pleasure, including her adjustable four prong fork for making bows of all sizes.

Melissa at The Wool and The Floss demonstrates chain stitch.

This is perfect for lettering, for outlines, and for items like belts on a design. I've found that keeping the loops even by counting over the same number of holes for each stitch keeps the chain even, assuming that's the look you want.
By the way, chain stitch in a thicker thread makes a great wicker basket.

Are you in the market for a stand to hold your needlepoint on a frame? Or maybe you are just curious? Needlepoint.com just posted an article and videos about the various System Floor stands available. This should answer many of your questions about what they sell and how everything works.
https://needlepoint.com/blogs/needlepoint-know-how/all-about-needlework-system-4
