WIP Update - Lady & Unicorn

Alanna is the no needle rule new or airline specific. I take my stitiching with me on all of my trips (including to Australia last year) and have never had a problem. I don't take scissors, but use a pendant cutter I got at a quilting store.

Really?????
Well, I've just found it to be a general rule on all international flights, but now that you've told me that I'm going to double check with my airline (we're flying Singapore Airlines). Who did you fly with on your trip to Australia?

It would be so great if they let me!!

Alanna, check with the airline you're flying with. We flew with ELAL to Holland and checked before all the new rules and regulations. It all depends on where you're flying to and from. Different rules for so many countries . Had done a little stitching in Holland and had forgotten to take the needle out . But by then they had checked my handluggage and they didn't say anything about it.But I didn't stitch on the 4hour flight home.
So maybe it was more luck than wisdom.

Yep, I checked with them and it's a no go. Bumma.

I don't understand how those little needles could be a security risk! Same with knitting needles...I wonder if they ban the bamboo knitting needles. I'm going to check that one out.

Now we all know what you want to do with the bamboo knitting needles: you're going to stick them under the terrorists' fingernails, right?

We flew Qantas to Australia. I stitched on a Continental flgiht to Norway in August. Maybe it is different by airline. At any rate, I will check before my next flight.

That's very strange, Ed because I have flown Qantas many times and they have NEVER allowed me to take my stitching on board. Are you sure you informed them that you were going to have these items in the cabin...?

Well done, either way, at least you got away with it.

No, I did not inform anyone. However, my stitching bag goes through the security check with no questions asked. I had no problem on domestic flights in Australia as well. I do not take scissors. On board, I often get comments from flight attendants as I am stitiching. They do not seem to be concerned.

Ahhh, so often so much better to just not say anything! My trouble was always ASKING if I could do dubious things, best to just do them and let other people just get over it!
