- Finally back with an update! I am also testing my SWM setup, so I'm sorry it was all over the place. Also, I accidentally say 2 over 1, when I meant 2 over 2 a couple of times.

Thank you for the stitch along. Greetings from Poland. 🙂
Great job on this video. I watched your first one yesterday and now a new one today. Yippee!!!!
Thank you for showing me how to work a full coverage and using the parking method. I have been stitching for many years but have been intimidated by full coverage stitching.
Great job that you are also filming and speaking in English that is not your first language. I don’t think that I would be able to do that.
So glad you decided to come back Marilyn. Hello from a Canadian living in Scotland! I think your English is just fine - do not be so hard on yourself.
This is the best stitch with me I’ve ever seen. I really learned a lot and the camera view of your stitching was excellent.
Hello from Tennessee USA! Another great video and watching you stitch taught me so much with full coverage! I would totally do the multi needle method. Can't wait to see your next video.
thank you for another great video🫶🤗
It was interesting to see you stitch, it’s not a method I know, I would be so confused! Kudos for being able to keep it so organized. Your English is very good and you are easy to understand so don’t worry 😊 Happy Stitching!
I loved it! Great video. I didn't mind the occasional camera bumps. Don't be too afraid of the pauses in what to say. That's natural and what would happen with stitchers stitching the same room together. Would love to hear you answer the questions in one of those Get to Know Me question lists. Those are always fun.
Oh gosh you have absolutely nothing to be nervous about! Your English is better and more fluent than you give yourself credit for, and it was so interesting, informative and beautiful seeing how you stitch! I too have just started a flosstube and it’s mind boggling how much there is to figure out with technology etc, so I’m in awe of how much you’ve managed already. Bravo Marilyn, you’re doing great and I’m really enjoying your videos 👏🏼❤️
Thank you kindly. I think I have the basics of my setup figured out, but there is a lot of fine tuning indeed :)
Thank you! 🌺🌺🇨🇦
Dragon fly is my favorite ❤❤❤❤
Loved your stitch with me. Your sewing is so beautiful.
Your HAEDS are beautiful
Great progress. Its always fun to see how someone else stitch. Happy stitching
Great video again!!!!!
I enjoyed your video so much! I hope there will be more stitch-with-mes :)
Thank you for the stitch along. I now have better understanding of how to do full coverage cross stitch that will help with my next project. I need to go back and watch again to understand how you start and tie off you threads. Looking forward to your next video.
I was going to do a more in depth tutorial as well sometime soon. Essentially, when I start a new strand, I do it with a loop start, and later on (meaning most of the time) with a half pin stitch. I end the thread under the next two stitches, only if it can be covered up immediately after. If not, I weave it into the row above or into the adjoining column, depending on how crowded the place is with other ends, and whether the end will be covered up by a similar color thread. Hope that helps :)
Fabulous project. Beautiful colours. Quite autumnal still. Thanks for coming back. I stitch in 12 and 14 inch hoops attached to a basic clamp frame. I have plenty of space for my 6-12 needles. I struggle to do cross country too. I don't like having to squeeze my stitches in when the area is nearly full 😂
Oo, very interesting, would love to see how it looks like.
That owl is So full of colors and beautiful! I admire you for being able to keep track!
I enjoyed stitching with you, I am working on a project of three Little Birds.
I bogged down a bit in the whites and creams but stitching with your video kept me going.
You are doing a lovely job, no apologies necessary!
I really enjoyed your video, it was neat to see how you stitch with all those needles. Happy Stitching!
Hi Marilyn and greetings from Canada. I did only cross stitch for 20 years before I started quilting in 2015. Your SWM was very well done. I've a a few SWM videos but I am still trying to get the "sweet spot" where I can see to stitch but still film. I use either a hoop or Q-snap and it gets tricky for holding it or supporting on the edge of my table or something.
Enjoyed stitching with you today. Hope you will do more of these.
Great stitch with me video. There is nothing wrong with your English ❤. I love seeing how others stitch, I am always looking for ideas to incorporate into my stitching. I have needles threaded as well for most of the colors I use. I made a box (lid) with washing up sponges that I stick the needles into. Saw this idea from a flosstuber. 😊
Thanks! I'm always on the lookout for ideas, too. I once tried to put a pipe cover made of spongy material on one of the horizontal rods where I could put my needles into. But the needles crumbled the sponge and there were tiny bits everywhere, so I reverted to cardboard :) Do the washing sponges work well?
@@50NeedleStitcher yes the sponges work really well. I got this idea from Laura Grr here on UA-cam, I think it was video #4. I expanded it to include all the colors I was working with at the time on all my full coverage projects, using a lid that is 30x30 cm.
This was fantastic! I stitch full coverage on 28 count 1x1 in a q-snap. If the parking is hard you could try the typewriter method. That's the approach I do well with!
Thank you! I did actually do the typewriter method in the columns I added (forgot to mention that in the video). I like how it works, but didn't know how to proceed when I reached a high contrast area. I will give it another try though :)
@@50NeedleStitcher OH that makes sense! The majority of my projects have a lot of block stitching and lower contrast levels.
Estonia ..what a beautiful country..I had not heard of this country before ..
Love your owl! I have Her Private Garden as a WIP and Soft as Steel in stash. They're both beautiful pieces of art.
That's cool! How far along are you with it? Does it stitch up well?
Your stitch-with-me was wonderful. I need to go back and watch your first Flosstube, and will be looking forward to your future videos. I accidentally must have touched the thumbs down symbol and didn’t realize it until starting to enter my comment. I hope I changed it without your seeing it, but if you did see it, it was done accidentally. My apologies!
🌼🌼🌼
Amazing owl
That's 2 over 2, not 2 over 1. 🙈 Agree with the parking, it's sooo neat
My bad 😬
Love this piece. Great job on the stitch a long. They are my favorite ones to watch. Most youtubes dont do stitch alongs. I learn so much from them. I plan on doing a max color as my next project and not sure how I will do it. I love the picture but am a bit intimidated by 230 colors with heavy confetti. My current wip only has 90 colors and was a good challenge for my first one. TFS your technique with us.
Oh my, max colors is truly a challenge. Can I ask which chart it is? You can always play around with different techniques until you land on the one that suits your style and the flow of colors perfectly. Wish you all the best on stitching that!
Really enjoyed your update and stitch with me, you did a great job and your English is perfect. I like the getting to know you Question idea 💡 . Im Already looking forward to more SWMs and updates. Have you watched Gemmas flosstube?? I believe she stitches with a bunch of needles too but not neat like you keep them....hers are like in a pile and she just plucks them up without making a mess of things. She puts a SWM out every other day, i think. Anyways....hope you have a great day and Congratulations on the new place 🥰
Thank you! Yes, I have watched her videos, and it is interesting to see how she uses multiple needles. I have tried to do that, but keep coming back to my own way :)
@50NeedleStitcher if I tried multiple needles I would have them stretched out like you have them....never thought of this way until seeing you stitch. I would still probably stitch 10x10 diagonal blocks and stitch all that symbol in the block before moving to next symbol. It takes a bit of finesse sometimes to get my threads to lay nicely( 2x1 18ct) but I've gotten it figured out where they lay better without much fuss. I hope you do alot more SWMs, you do a great job on them
Just beautiful don't no how you stitch on 😊 34ct amazing
@jodeewalker6536 I fanned the threads out similarly on The Magic Grotto, which I stitched diagonally for the most part, works just as well. Definitely try and see what works for you :)
@@50NeedleStitcher thank you for this reply
Hi, what does your thread organizing look like, where do you put your needles you don’t use?
I usually have some needles just sticked into the fabric, off to one edge. If I happen to have more needles left over, I keep them in a pincushion. As for thread organising, I have an envelope sized zip lock bag for each color, marked with the dmc number, and I keep them in shoeboxes, in numerical order :)
@@50NeedleStitcher thank you I love to see how people organize their wip projects and see how I can tweak mine
Great job on your stitch with me. It’s so interesting seeing your technique.
200 stitch/hour normal? I can’t even stitch 100 stitch/hour unless it’s a block of color. 😂
I stitch two handed, makes it faster :)
