Great and very useful video as always! Thank you Arica 😍🧵🪡

Do a video showing how to connect to different fabrics like you did in Inspired by Nature.

I have really enjoyed your flosstubeversity. I do practice some of these steps. Your voice and cadence is very enjoyable. I remember a year ago on our cross stitch cruise your friendliness. I was with my husband and we were in the same eating group. Great job. I do all of the different ways of stitching. In hand, scroll rod, smaller stand. I usually use pattern keeper unless I am somewhere I don't have it. Also, for me I have to be cognizant of light and time of day and how tired my eyes are or too much light sometimes.

Wow, so many amazing tips. As a newer stitcher, I'm definitely going to analyze what I'm doing with all this great advice you provided. Thank you!

Love the pictures, closeups and explanations throughout your videos.

Great tips! I was wondering what type of frame you are using? It looks like it attaches to your table. Currently I use a floor frame which is good for most projects but I have a lap frame which I use for smaller projects however I am not crazy about it. Thanks! PS. I just found you and look forward to watching you more.

Thank you😊

Thanks for the tips! I use Markup XP and it is a real game changer!

Awesome stitching tips. I look forward to your “stitching in hand”:episode in February. I love stitching in hand!

I have almost allways used to stitch in hand and so does my hubby. Our parents used to do the same. I believe we are quite a few that stitch this way here in Denmark. But some prefer a frame especially when they use free stitching.

Great video thank you so much.😊

Love your finishes and your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!

Loved your opening to the video. I should start watching with number 1 .

This was a great video and I hope to apply some of your tricks and tips!! Thank you

Hi, I just saw the video of how to stitch fast and I liked it very much. I have been stitching for 28 years and I stitch in hand. It was just until 2020 that I found Flosstube and I learned all the new things I was missing. I live in Costa Rica, so here, we do not have LNS, the only floss I can buy is DMC. Every time I go to The USA I order things to be delivered at the hotel and previously look if there is an LNS near the area we are going to stay. I like all your patterns.

I just found your channel. I watched the 10 tips for faster stitching… loved it Poncho

I’ve been watching your videos and they are so well made. I really enjoyed your 10 tips for stitching faster too. That poncho is beautiful! Looking forward to seeing more of your projects.

Hi Arica. The way my mother taught me to stitch was in hand using the sewing method and I was doing that all my life. Last year I tried the pocking and picking method while stitching in hand. I found out that my thread was not “damaged” so much, meaning to be fluffy. Then I started to use various types of hoops to stitch and I’m not going back. Of course stitching in hand is much faster but stitching is my fun hour during the day so I don’t care about the amount of stitches I’m doing. I’m always amazed when people counting their stitches. That would make me anxious and it would ruin the fun for me. I agree with you that you better use a stand while stitching with a hoop. It’ll be faster and also more relaxing for the wrists. By the way I’m curious about what stand are you using. I’m searching for one and I loved that yours can hold so steady the big q-snap which I think is a 17x17”? Thank you for that video. As always great job and great tips. 👏 👏👏👏

Lots of good information so glad I tuned in..

Brilliant tutorial, Arica. ❤

20:36 you mention a video on keeping threads untwisted. which channel has that video?

I just found your UA-cam channel! I so enjoyed your content. Owl poncho

That was the best explanation of thread twist ❤ As a yarn spinner I understand twist but I know there are folks that don’t. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Excellent tips ❤

I learn to stitch in hand and use it all the time. I have tried stitching in a hoop like I do for embroidery but find it too uncomfortable and odd feeling. I've been stitching in hand since 1985 and I love it. Also for marking my place on paper patterns I use colored highlighter tape. I choose the area I want to complete in my stitch session and mark all for sides of my pattern area. I can just fly through my stitching thus way. No searching for where I'm at because my eyes immediately go to the blocked off atea.

What stand were you using?

Owl Forest Embroidery has become my favorite designer! I love all their designs! Also loving that alpaca Poncho! Simply gorgeous…

I prefer in hand with the sewing stitch but if a fabric is too stiff, it just doesn't work. I use it on 14,16 and 25 count with three strands. I love the 'puffy' look of the stitches and it is so much faster.

So glad I happened on your channel! I am in the US/ Connecticut (east coast) and your videos are very calming. Your stitching information is so helpful! The quilt stitch kit is beautiful. The fact that you also mentioned fiber arts/yarn including your slippers and shawl just makes my heart happy ❤ Looking forward to future videos!

looking forward to the stitching in hand tutorial, erica! thank you

I just found your channel today and am enjoying your videos. You do beautiful work. I love the Owl pattern, but the Quilt one is beautiful as well. I'm also a quilter and can appreciate that one as well. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you.

Wonderful tips, thank you Arica !

Wonderful tips. I have always stitched in hand

Question: if you use the loop start does that automatically mean that you'll be stitching partially with the wrong end since you've looped the thread around?

Most informative. Thank you so much!

thanks, very helpful! I much prefer stitching in hand, it just more comfortable as well as faster.

Love your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!

Thank you so much. Of all the years of stitching, it still is satisfying to learn.

This is my first time watching your video and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I plan on trying the shorter threads as I think that will help me with some of my joint issues. Thank you so much. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

Erica tried shorter stitching thread, probably 12 to 14 inches. What a difference. My stitches were well formed and flat. Who knew! Thank you for great video❤

Thank you so much Arica. I love seeing these videos. You are so knowledgeable on crafting and I’ve learned so much from you.

I have wanted to learn how to stitch in hand, but wasn’t sure how to keep the fabric…. Steady? Stiff? And I worry that it will pucker. I’m excited to watch your tutorials about it.

I am a new subscriber. I loved your video today. Undoubtedly I am wasting tons of time with my stitching. I will be doing better now, thanks to your tips today. Look forward to you stitch in hand method. I tried once before and it slowed me way down. I stitch in hoop. I am looking to purchase a frame soon. Have a terrific week.

goodness, i was so happy to find this! just getting back into cross stitching and it's changed so much since the '80s, and i wasn't good at it then... 😄. i watch floss tube podcast and always have so many questions. your podcast is very helpful. thank you!

❤

Thank you Arica, that was so helpful I have been stitching for about 18 moths. and you have taught me things that I had never heard of before!! 😊❤

I definitely twist my needle, I hate it.

Thanks for your video! Perfect tips!

Any tips on identifying the "right" side of the thread vs the "Wrong" side when you don't keep floss either on a spool or in the DMC package? I seldom use those spooled silks and I put DMC on bobbins (please don't judge!). Thanks for a good tutorial!
