What an awesome tutorial! I almost didn't watch it because I've been stitching for 30 years...this means I taught myself before the internet was invented. I had no idea there was a fabric viewer online, and only recently discovered a stitch calculator. Technology is a fantastic thing but you have to know what exists before it can help you. Thanks so much!
its nice to see you again denkai.
great video
Never knew about the fabric calculator or the pattern and fabrice viewer, thank you so much for sharing! Loved the joke!!!
I am new to your channel. I love your personality and infectious laugh! 😀
Hi Denkai! Love your videos. You and Mike are a great team to watch. Happy stitching!
glad you like the videos :)
This is very informative. I've come back to cross stitch after a 10 year absence and things sure have changed. I am going to look at the websites you were using. I especially liked the stitch converter and the site where you able to see the fabrics. I have only every used up to 14ct, so as I say its all new and exciting. I love the Mirabeli, but also have fallen in love with Heaven and Earth charts, found them after watching Theresa Craig on flosstube. Thanks for all info. Happy stitching
I wish I could make the pattern much smaller. That is a very large design
Thank You so much for the video! so helpful.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing. I didn't know about some of those websites and will definitely go take a look.
I think you are funny too. ☺
The art work is magnificent, so why is it called mirabilia? Any way the name sounds beautiful.
Not sure to be honest. Mirabilia is the company which produces the chart. Nora Corbett is the chart designer.
Yep i learned something! thanks for making the video :) and for calling us 'Netherland people' LOL :D
Great to see how you buy & kit things up. You two could start a comedy duo...oh wait! You already have lolol Enjoy being entertained whilst learning the tricks of the trade. Happy stitching :-)
Love your videos. I'm also in the U.K. And starting to kit up a mirabilia so thank you for showing the fabric viewer; it's brilliant, but now I'm undecided on which fabric will make my petal fairy pop.
thanks for the info
Randomly stumbled upon your channel while researching Mirabilia. So glad I did-that fabric website is going to be my new best friend. I also found a killer deal for a Mirabilia kit on eBay that I decided to purchase while watching you. Yes-I get the irony that your video is on how to kit up, and I bought an already kitted up piece. But-I’ll use the tips for next time I kit something up.
What a great idea! I had used the Viewer before but couldn't figure out how to change only one background so I could compare the fabrics. Thank you so very much for showing me that!
You're welcome :)
I won some of those fiscars scissors too! lol what are the chances. Great video, such fun :)
Like the camera man at the end
LoL!
Can I say a big thankyou I have been looking for the seed beads for my mirabilia but sew and so didn't have some of them and were saying they were discontinued just bought a seed and treasures pack from art and design.
Please help. I bought two kits at the knitting and embroidery exhibition it Alexandra Palace. They are Nora Corbett and they say there is fabric but there is no fabric. I want to start soon. Please help. They are the Miss sSolar Eclipse and Miss Gingko. Please help. Thanks
Hi,
If you want to see which hand-dyed fabric would look good for those charts go to fabricviewer.com, use the fabric and chart options to see. You could also use a plain fabric from your local needlework store.
Loved the video. Very helpful. New to your channel
I was looking for you!
Thank you! Loved your video, going to watch some more :)
Thank you thank you thank you brilliant!
I agree....she is funny.
I know I'm a bit late to this video but I've just discovered your channel and loved it. Great tips and as a fellow Brit I was very glad for the recommendation of some UK sites. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Ps. Love the jokes at the end.
Thanks Louise for your lovely comments. Plus always nice to meet a fellow Brit!
Great job maybe one day I will get to kit a Miriablia . You mentioned you sell needle minders where can I purchase them and almost forgot you make project bags are those also sold......
Sorry for my late reply, I have been so bad at keeping in touch and videos comments up. I sell needleminders at www.denkaidesigns.com or search denkaidesigns on etsy :)
What a wonderfully informative video!! Thank you very much!
You're very welcome!
thank you so much - those 2 resources for the calculator and the fabric view - OMG.. fantastic... and thanks again! and belated happy birthday.
You're welcome :)
Are the symbols/ colors all the same for all Maribillia charts?
Not that I have noticed to be honest. I think the symbols and colours change with each chart but they are easily understandable.
Are you going to do your project in hand, on a hoop or on stretcher bars ?
I use a Q-snap or sometimes a frame for larger projects
Very handy video.... thank you so much 🤗😍😘
Glad it was helpful!
Wow! There is a lot of great info in this video. I've been cross stitching since I was 12, but stopped around the age of 25 and started up again a few years ago. Things are really different and I really appreciate you taking the time to show all the great tools and new ways of doing things that are out there now! Great job...keep up the great work! Love your jokes too!
Thanks. im glad you found the video helpful. :)
Hello,I'm so glad you came on, its great to see you and all your lovely work. Take care, keep on stitching........ cuz YOU COUNT
P.S. go check out my fb page and see the dragon i'm working on.
Great video, love your floss tube! I have a question, i just bought all supplies for my first Mirabilia and was wondering how a blend stitch is stated on the chart. I am looking and looking but can't see it. In the chart it says Blends are one strand each. So am a bit scared I will do it wrong. I am starting Emerald Mermaid. It is so beautiful.
hey, so for blending it will give you two numbers. you need to cut a length of each that you find comfortable sewing with. I use a chest to extended arm length. when you have the same length of one strand of each number.you thread both colours together on the needle and stitch with them. let me know if thats not clear enough.
oh really like that, ... gosh, that is a big help, thanks!!! And when there is a symbol for a bead, is it correct that you don't do a cross with thread beneath it, only the bead on that place?? Sometimes it looks on pictures that there must be a colour beneath as well. thank you, you are a big help, can't wait to start it, bit sacred hahaha
when you bead, use a matching thread and make the first cross, but when you come up add the bead on, down through the fabric. You can make a full cross by going back and coming back through the set bead if you want too.
Thank you so much, you are so kind to reply to me so fast and a big help!!! Had bought invisible thread to add the beads but this sounds easier.Thanks!
Hi Cherise, Thank you so much for your kind reply. I ordered some needle minders last week, can't wait to receive them! I have 1 more question if you don't mind. The Krenik #4 in Emerald Mermaid, do i need to use the thread double like i use 2 over 2 with the DMC in this piece? Or just 1 thread? Thanks!
