Love your videos. The only caveat I have about buying a full set and working from it, is that you will have floss you may never use and short on the colors you need. You might do better buying what you need, even a color at a time to match dye lots, and buying cones of colors you frequently use. 💜
I stich from a combination of full set on bobbins, and then floss drops. I have two HAEDs. One I bought the material pack for. The second only has 16 colors, but several skeins of each. So they each have their own floss. I have a kit, so it has its own floss. I'm also stitching a series. each piece in the series uses the same colors. I use floss drops on those because I could label them with the called for and then my color conversion, so I don't have to keep referring to my notes for the color. Other than those projects, all the rest I use my Master set.
Happy to see another video of you! The money thing you mention while kitting up is correct. As a mom of three, currently staying at home I still wanna have a hobby. I really need to show restrain when I see all the flosstubera buy sooo many patterns, then usually all the threads and the fabrics, needle minders and maybe project bags... That's a lot of money that right now I can use for sth else. Not hating, just saying, of course people can do with their money what they want😊. Hope to see you soon!
I love seeing your projects! I think working from a full set on bobbins would work well as long as you don’t need more than a partial skein (dye lots and whatnot). Otherwise you’ll probably need to buy multiples of a full set so all of the dye lots are the same… does that make sense? And then from there, you could cut an 18” piece and put that on a floss drop and kit it up that way, then just go back for another 18” piece when you use all of that up.. idk just an idea. 🤷♀️ I’m so glad you love the necklace. ❤️
I'm actually doing the opposite for my full set plan. I'm working on my full set now and plan to stitch medium and small projects from the full set and replace as I need. For a huge project I would kit it up to have its own floss but I definitely lean more towards smaller non full coverage projects.
