My sweet lady, you are an ocean of knowledge....cross stitch....material....fabrics....and now also you are our therapist :D :D...I am on your video number 32....getting there. Every video I watch I learn something new, and never thought about it, but its helping me very much. Now I am taking more pride and care on stitching nice, not just to finish a row, but making sure the thread is nice and even.. and the back...oh my...no more long threads all over....is neat and I am not embarrassed to show it. Thank you thank you thank you
Ever since I found you because of your scissor fob, I am going to watch all of your videos. I hope your warm and happy. It’s getting very cool in Iowa right now.
Hi Jean ! You really are Just Fabulous !!! Thank you yet again for a great visit and ' class ' . Roxie is YUMMY ! I look forward to making her in the future.
Thank you for demonstrating the lasso technique. This is another great tip I've learned from you that will make my stitching easier! By the way, I love your colors on the Roxy sampler!
Absolutely!! Thanks you so much for the magnifier caution!! Loved one's home was heavily damaged, parts completely destroyed, in a fire started by a magnifier left on the arm of a couch.
Thank you for showing how to fix a mistake using the lasso method. I do use my tapestry needle and scissors. I am looking forward to the Jane Hattersley SAL.
Jean as always, enjoy your informative videos. Yes Vietnam was a huge part of the baby boomers lives. I'm a middle boomer, born in '54 but knew several who went to Nam. Stay safe and Happy Stitching!
I think you may be surprised that the male veterans on that cruise may be interested in your classes, too. My grandfather who I lovingly called "Papa Carl", was a World War II veteran. He was an Army paratrooper and his parachute did not open properly. He had severe back injuries but refused to leave the service and later became an Army photographer. I used to watch him do fine thread crochet. He made beautiful bedcovers and tablecloths which I am blessed to have. He taught himself crochet while in the Army as a way to pass the time (no computers and cell phones back then nor TVs in their barracks). That became a lifelong hobby for him and he stitched until the day he passed away. Sadly, I did not inherit his crochet "genes" - those all went to my sister along with my Grand mother's sewing genes. I lamented to him one day in my late teens that I was sad that I just could not seem to catch on to crochet and I was a failure at sewing. He suggested I try cross stitch and I taught myself. I credit him with starting me on my cross stitch hobby. Again, don't be surprised if you don't have a few men in your cruise ship classes!
Being a tax accountant, tax season leaves little or no time for stitching! But listening to floss tube is always an option. Today, my eyes strayed to your stitching on Roxie - and I just had to stop and order the chart. And I will also order the Cosmo threads and be ready after April 15 to start stitching. Thanks for much for your visual prompting!! Next on my list to watch and listen is #29 - the Nun stitch has been calling me. Thank you for sharing your love of needlework.
Good to see you are feeling better, Jean. Thank you, I had forgotten the lasso technique- I will be using it, no doubt. On UA-cam, Nicola Parkman has a sure fire technique to replace a thread in your ground fabric that has been damaged. Either totally replacing it or working from one established motif to another.
Oh, Jean, I am so pleased you are teaching this method. This is the way I was taught many years ago. It works so well to lasso the shorter thread and run it under. Another lovely video. Thank you so much. ☘
Thanks so much for the awesome tutorial again on the lasso repair...I am glad you are feeling better...love your energy and travel plans...wishing you JOY and happy stitching ❤️
Jean, thanks so much for the tip about fixing a stitching error. I have also stitched that same mistake and have ripped the entire thing out. Now I won’t have to! I did make a major mistake on Roxie and stitched the top vine before realizing that I started too far to the right and ran out of room along my right margin. Needless to say, I began all over again! I am enjoying Roxie very much and am in love with Jane Hattersley. I’m going have to stitch her as well. Thank you so much for all of your extremely useful information.
I have just come back to stitching after 20 + years and found I knew nothing anymore. Linen? Other threads besides DMC?one over what? So I went looking at Floss Tube, what? I found you and have learned so much I’m trying my first stitch on linen, using over dyed floss, oh my. I’m not very good but slowly I’m trying. I tried your dampening of threads idea and it works sooo well. Thank you. My criticism though is that I listen while stitching and look up every so often and often miss when you show a project. If you would hold up the item for just a few more moments when filming these it would be very helpful. Thank you for everything you do.
Lol I had to laugh when I read your post, Beverly, I felt the exact same way. All this new information is more than my head could take all at June, thank goodness for Jean to help put it all in order in my brain,
I so enjoy your instructional tips. You are so thorough.....love it. Think I am going to going in on the SAL....have never done that with a group. Have been stitching for more years than one can count. Thanks.
Hello! I know this video is from 6 months ago, but I wanted to Thank you for the warning about the magnifying glass!! I had a burnt mark on my end table and my husband and I were trying to figure out what it was from and it was driving us crazy! Then I watched your video and you warned us and a light bulb went off in my head and I figured out where the burn mark came from. This could really be dangerous and thank you again for the warning.
Thanks for this tutorial, Jean. It was very clear and timely as I need to repair an area and couldn't think of a way to do it without a lot of frogging. The British Isles cruise sounds very interesting.
Thank you Jean for another informative video. I was so happy you said you do not use a seam ripper. I am a needle and scissor girl myself as I was a bit scared of that lethal implement . I just know I would ruin the fabric. The lasso technique I have added to my notebook where I put your tips and techniques. I have now made the humbug and I am so pleased with it. Due to your encouragement I have ordered sample pieces of linen in differing counts, I want to move from aida 20 ct and stitch some of the beautiful patterns out there. You left me a comment on your last video and I have replied to it there. Stay safe and well.
As usual, I learned something that will be useful right now. Thanks for the PSA on magnifiers. I thought I was being safe by turning off the light. Have located the towel I will use to cover the lenses when I put them down somewhere. I also 'happened' to have a situation where I needed to lasso in some end because I had stitched the thread way too short. So, I put the video on pause and did it. I found out that it is easier to use if your lasso is a different color than what what you are 'lassoing' but I was successful. That is certain to come in handy in the future. I knew you had covered it in a previous video but I didn't understand the concept until now. Yes, it's 2:46 in the am. This is the time I stitch because I don't get any interruptions. Stay healthy and safe!
Thanks for sharing...amazing video....Thats sounds amazing...I'm going to have to check my Schedule this sound pretty amazing...thanks taking us all about this..
Lovely video. Those cruises sound amazing. I live in the UK 🇬🇧 but I’m going right now to have a look at RGE Travel’s website to see if any of them are doable 😀🛳🛥🚤
I’ve never done this but I’ve often wondered how you would fix fabric that you accidentally cut while removing stitches. This has been my worse nightmare. Thanks for the very informative video.
Jean Farish, so nice to meet you! I love the America framed piece behind you! Do you have details on where I can find the pattern?! Thank you for your videos!
Hi Jean, I'm working on Roxie, Sometimes forward & sometimes backwards. What count & what kind of linen are we stitching on. It seems so loosely woven that I am having trouble not stretching the hole. My first time stitching on linen, so this is new to me. I am loving learning so much. Am still on the first page working on the border. So beautiful. Thank You Rene Fisher
The kits were packed with 30-count Legacy Linen / Victoria Sponge Cake. Compared to even weaves, linen does have more space between the fabric threads which, over time, you will see as an advantage. As you are getting used to this new characteristic, keep an eye on the fabric threads. If they remain straight and true, your tension is fine. If they begin to shift, throttle back a little.
Wonderful video! I'm excited that you are being able to travel and stitch again. I am a USAF Veteran of the Vietnam War. I'm so glad you have this chance to learn more about the War and Veterans. I hope it is a healing time for all...I lived in Flagstaff for two years while I attended NAU. Lovely town. Can snow in July, so it has cool nights. I can still smell the pine trees! I had a chance to use the lasso way of fixing a mistake this week. I have a nifty little tool called the do-lolly, but of course could not locate it when needed. Thank you for your tip. I am going to be making some cording soon. I saw where you had a few recommendations for tools to make it with. Have you ever used a lucet for this? Any thoughts on it? As always, take care and have a great stitchy time.
Dolollies are neat tools but I seem to not be able to put my hands on one when I need it. The nice things about the lasso method is that I always have a needle and a short length of floss handy :) I had to look up "lucet" ... I love the history of it. The cord it makes reminds me me of what we made as kids with a wooded spool and 4 nails on the top ... anyway, the cord we made looks like what I saw in a UA-cam video. It's a totally different type of cord from the twisted cord I use for finishing.

We did that cruise just before COVID and loved it. Just be aware that the Thai port is 2.5+ hours from Bangkok and it is not worth it. You spend hours in a bus traffic to have almost no time. Find a tour which is closer to port L and enjoy that. In Vietnam we had an amazing stitching experience near the port and did a tour in US military Jeep’s.

One thing to consider about stitching dyslexia - I'm a special education teacher that works mostly with very little ones that are just learning to read. People forget that children are "allowed" to reverse letters till around the third grade. It is only when they hit the fourth or fifth grade that we consider letter reversals a possible sign of dyslexia. Since a lot samplers are stitched by VERY young children, I wouldn't say that alone is a sign of dyslexia. Plus, the idea of dyslexia is a fairly modern concept. I agree with Barbara that there are too many variables to know for sure.
Also, what are some of your other favorite designers? Are there any other flosstubers that you can recommend?
There is so much more known about dyslexia now than when I was first in the classroom! Thanks for your insight.
