Or I could reach out to DMC threads, with the same proposal, as they have 425K following on IG.Mini marketing planCreating a buzz around the book by hosting giveaways, for a chance to win a copy. Customers who have pre-ordered a copy of the book will be put in a prize draw, for a couple of lucky customers to win supplies to create a pattern from the book. Possibly creating a mailing list. I plan to create a pattern that will be included in the book and using that to promote on Instagram. That alone will pull in a lot of traffic.

Rachael Dobbins started the Used Threads Instagram as a creative outlet, somewhere she could document her progress and get into the swing of embroidering again, originally getting its name from gifted vintage cotton strands and threads, a collection of beautiful treasures from different eras. She stitches a range of things—from retro mid-century interiors and accessories to thread-painted landscapes and seascapes, from quirky 3D stitches that flow from the hoop to embroidered seventies-inspired clothing.Stitching from a very young age, Rachael followed in the steps of her grandmother. After going down the fine art route and teaching herself to stitch, Rachael realized that embroidery was her main passion and graduated with a BA honours in textiles and surface design. Now combining both arts, Rachael likes to think that she pushes the boundaries of embroidery, treating the thread strands like strokes of paint on a canvas.
