So many great ideas and thoughts within this video. I think I like the idea of going to the library to stitch. I have a hard time stitching at home because I have a very nosy kitty who just "has" to see what I have in my hand when I'm sitting on the sofa to stitch or "has" to get close to the light and in either case, I can't see what I'm doing so give up after a few tries. I don't make great progress on my stitching due that one fact. My library is also part of a complex where the senior center is also located so perhaps some others of my age will notice and decide to become a group.

I haven't heard of this designer so it was fun to see the charming designs and meet the charming people behind it all. I will definitely go looking for some of their charts.

Thank you

Missing you Jean. Hope all is well.

Apparently I am a cross country stitcher. I use all 3 styles of stitching, based upon whichever style gets me where I need to go with a minimum amount of travelling.

I enjoy all of your opinions and cross stitch tutorials. ❤

Thanks very much for the tutorial as I pick up the wonderful world of cross stitch. ❤

I should start a side hustle doing backstitching...because I love doing it! I always feel that it is the finishing touch so I feel like I'm in the home stretch. 😅

I recently found your channel and after watching a few of your lesson episodes I wanted to let you know that I really like your technique explanations and your teaching style. After watching this particular lesson I realized that I almost always combine all three styles of cross stitch - Danish, English, and Victorian - within a single project. So what I thought was a messy back was actually using all three methods at once - as you explained - resulting from utilizing the grid. I also really like your cross stitch myth busting nuggets. Now I feel confident saying I do cross-stitch embroidery without feeling like a fraud. 😊😅

Thank you so much for your detailed explanation of stitching over one. I am attempting (lettering on a sampler) for the first time, and I knew I wasn't doing something right. I will go back and try again with your hints. Thanks again!

Every time I watch you, I see the America in the fram behind you...is that a chart?

Is there a pattern for your needle book available anywhere for purchase? Thank you for the tutorials.

Thank you Jean! As always, I appreciate your time and knowledge!

Thank you I could not find the end so I searched UA-cam and you gave me my answer!❤

Great interview, beautiful stitching and those samplers are so interesting. Thank you Jean for sharing.

Lovely advice ❤❤

Beautiful information...thanks so much❤

Jean, thanks for all that you shared...best wishes ❤

❤ great interview. Would like to know best way to store you linen for cross stitch? Thank you

I really enjoyed this. Thank you so much ❤

Great Products. I loved all the fact & history on the Statehood ones, they are so fun to stitch!!

HA! I was just thinking about you Jean! And here you popped up with a video :) Thanks for this!

Thank you for sharing

Wonderful interview, thank you Jean. I love the amount of thoughtfulness Lori puts into her designs. I also love the frames used. On a side note: she has great hair!

Loved the tour and product review. Thanking for sharing,

Thank you so much,for this very helpful and informative video ❤,I am a newbie in embroidery on linen

Thank you so much for explaining the process so very clearly, I can't wait to get started now 😄

Very well explained. It’s also so nice to know that you , as an expert stitcher, have your hesitation ‘moments’ also. I will now jump to myself as being a ‘semi’ pro. Not in any way in your ‘league’, but pleased to know that we are all in the family of human beings.

Oh you are so lovely I am that deer caught in headlights I’m terrified 😬😬

Thanks for this information! Very helpful with your diagram!

I rarely comment, but i appreciate your wisdom and tips, Jean. I started using a dampened sponge around 2005 for all my threads. It helps tremendously! A viewer on my channel reached out to me. A small group of stitchers in MS meet up occasionally. We're meeting at a restaurant the end of this month. 😊 I also took a quilt block with embroidery project to a teen homeschool year kickoff held at a skating rink. As I was stitching at a table, a young lady approached me, saying she did quilting and sat down as we chatted. Two of her friends sat and we all chatted about hobbies and here I was, an old lady (mom) 😂 with three charming young ladies at my table. Come to find out, one girl knows my daughter from dance class, so now theyre also talking more. Its true you never know who you will inspire and encourage to pick up a new hobby or restart one! In turn they made me feel relevant, and it also encouraged another friendship to form. ❤

THANK YOU!! so the tip with the water has been a game changer, I am at a retreat and I brought my table mates a sponge finger wetter each and they all love it too, less knots and less twisting!!

Thank you for all you do to share our hobby. One great experience I had was at an airport, Montreal maybe. I was stitching and an older Asian lady came over to sit by me. She pointed at my stitching and gave me a thumbs up. She looked it over, front and back, and another thumbs up. Then she pointed to her eyes, which I took to mean she couldn't see well enough to stitch herself, so I showed her my flip up magnifiers. She watched me stitch awhile, then with another thumbs up, she left and went back to sit with her husband. I was so touched she made the effort to communicate with me.

Jean...thanks for your lovely visit...I am glad to experience your travels...good to see you back and sorry about that severe cold...I wash and iron my stitch pieces per your instructions...best wishes and happy stitching ❤

Hi Jean, thank you so much. Do you wet overdyes also or dampen.

Thank you Jean for another wonderful visit...seeing Market videos are such fun...best wishes ❤

Thanks Jean for another lovely visit...your tutorials and good words are greatly appreciated ❤

Thank you as ever. When I picked cross stitch back up about 14 months ago after 30 years, yours was the first Floss Tube i found that was a teaching one...and it has remained about the best. I have learned from you or because of you so much...how to stitch on linen, using color dyed, loop starts, some finishing stitches, some specialty stitches, how to finish my stitching....soooo much! I just learned 2 ways to thread my needle without licking o a threader, for example! I just turned 70 and am loving learning all this, and you have been a great scout in my trek through new territory! I dont have any stitching buddies in person, so do appreciate the FT world. Also I have Parkinsons tremors...pretty mild so far...and i think stitching has been good therapy for that, too. (Ps....I will get to see The Milkmaid in about 10 days and will think of you!)

I’ve been stitching for 27 years by myself. None of my family or friends stitch. And my LNS closed 4 years ago because the owner retired. You get used to stitching alone.

Thank you for sharing! 🥰Happy Stitching!

Great advice on learning something new to keep your mind active. I do the sudoku puzzle in the paper every day (retired math teacher) but I have expanded and do some word puzzles now. I don’t have the vocabulary to do crossword puzzles but the Jumble and Seven Little Words I can have success with. I rejoined EGA a few months ago to get out and stitch with others. Take care.

Thank You Jean. If only it was that easy. Looking forward to always trying something new. Your words ring true right to the heart.

So, so true what you said about stitching with friends and to try new things.❤

You always have something new for us to think about. I meet once a month with a stitch group at a local library . It’s such a fun time to see what others are working on. Cross stitch, embroidery, knitting etc Thank you for your insight.

Thank you again for another great flosstube video. I have a small group of stitching friends that started at a LNS near me. We are down to only 3 of us but we still meet weekly at the home of one friend. Over the years I was able to learn many types of needlework by following diagrams (no internet back then). I then connected with classes at a LNS near me and learned so much more in specialty stitches and embellishments. The ladies who took the classes eventually evolved into a weekly stitching group that met at the LNS but is now just the three of us. It is so true that these friendships can grow by sharing a mutual love of a particular hobby. My extended family was great card players, especially pinochle! A few years ago, I went to a class to learn Canasta. Unfortunately, I could not find a group to play with so I may have forgotten some of what I learned. The only thing that I could not learn myself was tatting. I took a class with a lovely 80+ year old lady who was wonderful and taught me a lot. My one downfall is picots! I cannot do picots in tatting, hardanger or crocheting! They never seem to lay correctly or come out the same size! I do miss having a LNS near me where I can take classes. Retreats look wonderful but fitting them into my schedule can be difficult, especially with travel involved. Thanks again for a great video. I am in several cross stitch groups on Facebook and share information about these wonderful flosstube videos!

As with many things in life one is never too old to learn new things. I may know how to do something but I always learn a better, easier, smoother way--especially when it comes to stitching. I always learn from you. Thanks!

I have gone to my library to stitch in the past and haven't had any curious people stop by - but that doesn't stop me from going anyway! Even when I'm waiting for a car repair of a couple of hours. I watched a new Floss Tube recently and see looked at it this way "ABC - Always Bring Cross stitch" - I love that!

I'm so happy to see you again. Please tell me where I can buy Cosmo floss. I took a class at Barefoot Needlearts that you taught (I was thrilled to meet you), and I fell in love with Cosmo. It's such a beautiful floss. However, not everyone carries it. I would love to start to transition to Cosmo. Can you point me in the right direction? As always, I learned so much from you. Thank you for your informative videos. BTW, you totally converted me to linen fabric (36ct is my sweet spot) and I don't stitch without dampening my floss first. All I can say is thank you. ❤

Thank you. I'm Asian and married to a veteran who served 20 years. I've lived america 46 years, but most Americans are not as friendly as you think, and that's the fact because I've been living in. I do appreciate your advice. Thank you for your tips and tutorials.
