You are such a down to earth person, and it is a joy to watch and listen to your "stitch with me" videos. All of your "conversation" with us is SO informative and natural! This video and your thought process is very helpful. Great tips and methods to try! Love your take on "running threads", and "thread chicken"! All feels like I'm sitting there with you chatting and stitching!! Cheers! Look forward to see how you make your patterns so large and pieced together. (makes them MUCH easier to see!) Always leave much smarter after watching! Thank you!
Wow, that's such a sweet comment, thank you 😊I enjoy the feeling of chatting with you as I stitch and it's awesome to know it feels the same to you too!
I enjoyed watching you stitch. It is nice to see someone stitching in hand without doing the sewing method. I have tried to use the sewing method but haven't been able to do it. Happy Stitching! Thank you!
Thank you 😊 I've tried the sewing method as well and I can do it...but I can't quite make my stitches look as neat and it's not any quicker for me so not really worth pursuing for me. You gotta find what works for you!
This is the first “stitch with me” flosstube I have watched. I throughly enjoyed it and will be watching again.. thank you. I’ve picked up quite a few tips along the way as well.
This was a great video. Thanks for sharing your thought process and how you approach your patterns. I really enjoyed watching and look forward to seeing another. 😊
Thanks for sharing. It was really interesting to see how you choose what direction/where to stitch next. Also, the image is so pretty and it's great seeing your progress and watching it come to life.
Great, I'm glad this was helpful for you to see my process of stitching and working around a pattern, I am loving the design and looking forward to finishing it...but will also be a little sad because it's such a beautiful one to be working on!
Excellent video! I very much enjoyed watching you work. I find it extremely helpful to see how you navigate around the pattern and approach a variety of stitch situations. I'm always questioning my own work and wondering if I'm working through the process in the most efficient manner. I also agree with the other viewers - your conversation provides a wealth of information that comes out naturally as you work. Looking forward to more of your wonderful stitching videos! Cheers from Florida!
Excellent, I'm glad this was helpful and that I'm not the only one who spends time debating what bit to move to next! Thank you for your kind words about my video style and I do love to shareanything I think could be helpful...it's pretty much the running commentary from my head 😂
I so enjoy your lovely channel. I am a long time stitcher but have been thinking of switching things up a bit and learned so much from your video!! Thank you for sharing ❤❤
Thank you *so* much for this video! I'm fairly new to cross-stitching and you answered several questions for me such as parking threads, how to work through a pattern with many color changes, and I learned that I don't have to use a hoop!
Thank you 😊 It's definitely one of my faves to actually work on, and is super relaxing to stitch. I'll actually be a bit sad when I finish it...but I do have others that give me that same happy feeling so I think I'll be ok 😂
Lovely hanging out with you! I was stabbing away on Bohemia by Medusa Dollmaker. This project is going to last at least ten years (or more). I also stitch in hand and I am s-l-o-w. So slow. Luckily I’m a process stitcher. 😝😂
Another great video. I LOVE stitch with you. Do more, please! Yes…to how you handle confetti (swearing allowed😄). G & T’s also allowed! My husband’s gin preference has always been Bombay…but NOT Sapphire, says it’s too sweet. Keeps it in the freezer😳. Sending you love from Dallas, Texas. Dianne
Thanks Dianne 😊 I really love filming these so definitely will make more time for them. I prefer my gin not too sweet either. I've not tried it in the freezer; I think that would be too cold for me!
Wow, time just flew by. I was stitching along with the video on Mulberry Cottage by Caterpillar Crossstitch. I tried stitching in hand previously but I cannot do it evenly so I now stitch in my Nurge hoop (which I like so much!). Looking forward to another stitch-a-long with you.
It's lovely to hear what you've been stitching along with me and that's a really pretty design 😄 I'm always happy to hear that you have found what works best for you, whether that's a hoop or no hoop!
Kat I am 100% old school. I like a paper pattern just fine, or a chart in a book. I just uploaded a video yesterday showing my WIPs and yes you will see books. I use either a hoop or Q-snap. I tuck my threads in on the back too, and I only stitch one handed. Now, I will not naysay the use of app at some point in the future. But I am not a massive fan of ginormous charts. For one thing I am 55 years old and I only have so much time!
Well, we can stick together being old school with paper patterns and books I guess! I am all for using tech, and not shy of it at all but somehow it just hasn't grabbed me for stitching. I think part of it is wanting to use my tablet for watching flosstube, so can't do that and use it for a chart at the same time. I know I could get another tablet but that seems unnecessary, and could get awkward to try to arrange 2 tablets in my stitching spot! I think I need some smaller charts in my life...I do seem to have a lot of large ones right now 😂
Yay! Very happy this was helpful and timely for you. Parking can be taken to a much more extreme level but I am not a fan of a huge number of threads hanging out on my work! A little simple parking can be really time saving though 😄
Great video, Kat. 👍 Since you're uploading a day later now, it clashes with my busiest work day of the week, so I have to save my viewing and commenting for the weekend. Don't worry, I'm still here, just a day or two late! 😅 Where you live sounds lovely, I enjoy walking near my home too, and am grateful for beautiful hills, creeks and bushland on my doorstep. Have you tried listening to audiobooks while you stitch, if you enjoy reading? (Sounds like your overheated camera needs a G&T!)
Always lovely to have you here whenever you are able to watch 😊 I'm amazed by how fast some people are able to watch my videos! Nature on our doorsteps is really something to be grateful for; I'm glad you have that too 😄 I tried one audiobook and it was actually while I was on my work commute. I did enjoy it and it would be a great option for while I'm stitching...but I always seem to have more than enough flosstubes to watch instead 😂 I'll try to remember to have a G&T on hand for the next video just in case...😂 Although, on the overheating front I am more upset that my laptop has died as it seems to have overheated and now won't turn on 😢 I'm currently sharing a laptop with LHDT!
Thank you 😊 Stitching in hand does take a bit of time to get used to in regards to keeping an even tension...I know because I can see I wasn't quite there with some of the very early pieces I stitched!
I am really enjoying your stitch with me! I love this Joan Elliot of yours. Something I noticed with your stitching in hand. You stitch in the well with an invisible scroll frame which is how I do my scroll frame. Except I use a stand and do 2 handed stitching 😊 By the way you had my full attention today. I was eating lunch while you stitched (cod sandwich) 🥪. The project I am working on is the last page of my No time like the present. I want it finished by the end of the month. 😊
Ha ha...that really made me giggle at me stitching with my invisible scroll frame...it's so true! 😂 Cod sandwich sounds yummy and wow, that's fabulous that you are on the last page of No time like the present...it's such a great project and will be awesome to have a finish on it😄
@@catkinandlillie lol 😂 glad it made you 🤭 giggle. It was yummy 😋. lol 😂 it looks like tomorrow I will finish I have 699 stitches left. So it will be a September 2 finish.
Love watching you stitch! I want this pattern but these ones, like Bella Filipina and Mirabilia are so expensive. I stitch the pattern in a very similar way. I think it is how your brain sees things. I could not just stitch one colour in different spots, as some people do, and then go back to fill in apart from the times as when you did it. I like to progress the design across or out, as I have been starting in the middle. Love the loop start as you taught it when I started CS a few months ago now though I noticed you did it a different way in this, bringing the knot down on the bottom left rather than going back into the hole top right. I have had to do one on the back before and had to think about it first! I try to do the Danish method as much as possible but I get worried about not estimating how much thread I'll need. Sometimes I just put in a single cross if it means that I will end the thread in the middle of a row using Danish. I have also found that occasionally I have to vary the starting point of the bottom arm because if I am going downwards, it just undoes the previous top arm. I do always have the top arm the same on every stitch. I honestly can see no difference if I do Danish and then have to do a whole stitch alone. It all looks the same to me. So English and Danish mixed in doesn't seem to make any difference to the look. I have a question about when you start on these larger projects from the bottom right and not the centre. How do you make sure you are in the correct place on the fabric and leave enough room? I can't imagine you'd count all those stitches to the centre (but maybe you do?) ... Thanks again. Really look forward to your videos 🥰
Huh, I'm sure I replied to this already but can't see it. Ok, let's try again... I agree that kitting up the fancy ladies can be expensive but I do also think that they are good value if you conisder how many hours of enjoyment they can give you. I always find it super interesting how we all work differently and find what works best; it sounds like we are pretty similar! I may well have done my loop start slightly differently as you can basically go back down either hole and it works out the same! You definitely can mix and match English and danish method without it looking different, and I do use a mix. For starting large projects I usually go for a bottom middle start, then immediately work over to the bottom right hand corner and then I can start working my preferred direction of upwards and to the left. This is exactly for the reason you suggested that I don't trust myself to count accurately over to the corner! If I have a big new start soon then I'll try to share more on that.
@@catkinandlillie Thanks, Kat. That helps - starting middle bottom then moving to right bottom. I think I will do that with Julia as it sounds like that way is how my brain would like it to go too! You are right about the expense and enjoyment and it is still cheaper than making quilts! Maybe not if you add the frame but I intend to do my own framing. Showing you actually starting a large project would be a great video, please! Anyway, thank you for taking the time to reply and so fully 🥰

I plan on venturing out and trying to stitch on other stitch count fabrics. I currently am using mostly 14ct but have invested in 11ct, 16ct, 18ct, and 22ct. But would like the different colored fabric as well as you are working on. Thank you, I so enjoyed your video.
It's definitely a great idea to try different fabric types and counts to see what you like best. I have only really started using hand dyed fabrics in the past couple of years and it's a revelation!
Listening to the part about counting as I baste in my 10 stitch spaced guidemarks. I just can't keep it straight without them? What is it about choosing hobbies that make you realise you can't count? I also knit 😂
Who knew counting was so hard?! 😂 It's required for a surprising number of hobbies! And don't get me started on maths, like when calculating my fabric size and suddenly lose the ability to do simple addition 🙄

Oooh, I hope you'll love the blackberry fabric: I think it's gorgeous! You can choose wheer you want to start, either the centre of the design or from a corner. It's probably easiest to start from the centre and I have a video on how to do this ua-cam.com/video/vWbVgV1-Et8/v-deo.html Or if you prefer to start in a corner I have a video on this too ua-cam.com/video/uBSvFINOFww/v-deo.html It's not always easy to count to a corner so I very often start at the bottom in the middle and I talked about this a little bit in my first stitch with me video ua-cam.com/video/mSE_zMs_TL8/v-deo.html I hope that helsp 😄
I’m stitching this design and my colours in dress don’t look right I wasn’t thinking when I sent post to polstitches group of a screenshot of close up on your stitched dress part sorry do you want me to remove it ?, the colours I’m assuming in dress are to indicate light and shade , my colours don’t look right do you have the three blue dmc numbers your using , yours look right they blend mine don’t , I’m using 312, 336, 322?
Hi Julia, so sorry for slow reply as I'm on holiday! But that also means I don't have access to my project to check colours. If the colours you are using match what's listed on the pattern info then it should be correct. I absolutely have no problem with you sharing my stitching. Sorry that you're not sure the colours are right on yours. I will check mine when I get home and let you know.

The DMC variation or variegated threads are the same thickness as the standard DMC 6 stranded cotton. There are many other manufacturers of hand dyed thread which have variegation and they may vary in number of strands and thickness, and it would be impossible to list them all here.
