ABOUT ME:
Thanks for visiting my channel, I hope you enjoyed the video! I founded Caterpillar Cross Stitch in 2015 when I tried desperately for months to find a modern baby sampler my mum could stitch for new baby Felicity that would fit in with her simple, contemporary nursery. I love cross stitch, running, baking fruit cakes, drinking gin, eating salted caramel ice cream and most crafts!
See you soon and happy stitching! Sally x

Just want to say I appreciate the camera work, lighting, conciseness, and clear diction in your video. So many crafting channels have less than ideal equipment so it makes seeing those necessary details difficult.
Thank you so much Elizabeth, this has literally made my day ❤️
Happy stitching 🌸

I absolutely second this! As a beginner, I watched 4 videos on how to end my thread, and this close up shot and the lighting was what I needed to successfully end my thread! Thank you!
Wow! **mind blown** 👍👍👍👍 I have stitched for over 40 years, and aside from the first example, I never even thought of the other two! Thank you!!
This was sooo incredibly helpful!!! I warned a really nice close up of a how to make a pin stitch. Your lighting and closeup of the stitch was sooooooo helpful! I am stitching on Aida with one thread and there have been so many confetti stitches I am dragging my thread all over the place to secure it. I’ve been hating this project…truthfully. Now I am hoping to start enjoying it with my newfound knowledge. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
I have been cross stitching for over 50 years and I have never seen such great ideas for ending a thread, especially ways that don't require you to turn your hoop over. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for watching Linda - and for your kind words. I am so happy you found it useful - I found it life-changing, not having to turn my hoop around! ☺️
Happy stitching 🌸

@@CaterpillarCrossStitch You are so sweet to send me a kind reply. Thank you.
Your voice while I'm stitching is so calming. I haven't stitched for years and I'm still trying to find my flow. Once I'm in my flow I lose time and my fingers just do their work
Been stitching for many years, but never knew how to do the pin stitch. Will certainly add it to my ending off repertoire. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
I am a relatively new stitcher . My history is I learned stitch about a year and a half ago, but I only stitched for a few months. Then I completely abandoned it. I re-started a month ago and actually finished a sizable project just last night. I have been floating in a huge ocean of Confusion to a degree, but it is gratifying to know that I have been using the waste away stitch at the end and the loop method to start my stitching without even knowing what they were called. I give credit to a Korean channel called stitch, bug back. Although she does not speak in English at all, or even have English subtitles, by watching her videos closely, I was able to adapt her styles. Thank you for such clear explanations.
Glad to help, thank you for watching!
Thank you so much for this information!!! I've been trying to find out how to do pin stitch finishes and loop start finishes for a really long time! You are awesome Marie, and so is CCS! So happy I found this group!
You are so welcome!
Thank you, I never realised there were so many different ways! You are a really good teacher 😊
Thank you so much for watching Penny - and for your kind words 😊

this are great tips! Tks. I wish to see it slowly and not so fast but I will see this video several times and practice all. tks
Really great tips. I use the weave under but I like the pin stitch idea! Thanks!
I agree! I’ve been stitching 40 years as well and I have never seen the pin stitch for ending my Crosstitch. I generally have used the weaving but will definitely be giving the pin stitch a try. Thank you so much and I agree your instructions are very well explained and easy to understand!
Marie you are definitely delightful so knowledgeable and friendly just beautiful tutorials thank you so very for sharing your skills and enthusiasm your tutorials are so encouraging and helpful
Thank you so much for such a kind comment Melanie - it's made my day! ❤️

Best explanation of pin stitch I've come across! It also explains why it doesn't look as good on linen as it does on Aida. Thank you!
Thank you for watching and for your feedback!
wow! I've always used weave through, I look forward to trying some of these other techniques
I had no idea i only was taught the weave and i am so happy this popped up on my feed

Thank you for showing us all the techniques. The only one I had ever used is #1.
Thank you so much for watching Paulette, so happy you learned something new - will you be trying any?
Happy stitching 🌸

I received a completed work and noticed the stitches very closely resembled the cross stitch on the front. I have tried and tried to replicate the stitch. I am going to learn how to stitch like this before I die or my demise will be put on hold like WIP. I will be a DIP.
Thank you for your Cross Stitch knowledge. Enjoy your videos.

Great tips, I just discovered your channel. I’m a long time stitcher from the 90’s.
Thanks for watching! :)
I feel like I need the bag! I love using chopsticks for snacks as I don’t like the sticky residue on my hands
Wow wow wow!!! Thanks for this video ❤ I’ll be using some of these in about an hour 😂
So glad it was helpful! 😊
Happy stitching 🌸

@@CaterpillarCrossStitch I’ve used the methods a few times. It has made a difference in a good way. I don’t use time going front to back to front again. I do everything in the front. Thanks again!
I use the waste tail but to cut down on waste, as long as I'm coming back with the same color, I make half stitches with it. That way when I start stitching again, I'm stitching over the thread but it's also being used rather than wasted. By doing a couple of stitches to the left and then coming down a row and doing a couple of stitches to the right, that tail is nicely tucked in when I stitch over it..
Hi from California 👋🏼
Hi Esther, thank you so much for watching and happy stitching ☺️🌸
Marie
Hey Marie! Thank you for the tutorial. When I work on Aida I will certainly apply these principals. Can you do a tutorial on ending a stitch on even weave without turning the work? Does that exist? Thanks!
Could you please go over how to end stitches on Linen?
Thanks for this ! I will have to try them.
Thank you so much for watching Jeanette - hope you'll find them useful 😊
Happy stitching 🌸
Marie
What about on linen? Can you do a pin stitch with linen?
Thanks for your last 2 videos - they've been really helpful and both taught me something new. I wonder which end technique you'd recommend for a full coverage, where there are lots of confetti stitches? I'm doing a HAED, one over one on 25 count and find it really hard to end a thread without a knot...
Hi Keeley, thank you so much for watching 😊
One of my current WIPs is also a 25ct 1x1 full cross HAED so I feel your pain!
I would definitely recommend the waste away thread technique because with full coverage you will end up easily covering it around. If you can, try not to leave the confetti stitches for the very end so you'd still stitch around.
If you did, then I would recommend learning the pin stitch underneath the single stitch technique but you will need a very sharp needle (DMC size 28 is pretty sharp despite being tapestry needle and a good choice for this).
A thin needle also helps to weave the thread on the back of the project without needing to knot when pin stitch is not an option 😊
Happy stitching 🌸

Where did you get your hoop from?! I just started cross stitching, and circular hoops I’ve found to be a bit harder to stitch with.
I own a number of ascot ties. Some of the threads in their stitchings have little tails at the end. Should I cut these off or should I leave them alone?
Hi, Can you tell me what cross stitch frame you are using? I have learned alot from your videos. Thank you for making them.
Hi Debra, thanks so much for watching and for your kind words 😊 I am using a square plastic Nurge hoop and wooden table embroidery stand from Amazon.
Happy stitching 🌸
Marie
Thank you for this. As a newish stitcher is very helpful. Can you please tell me what type/make of frame you are using? Thanks
Hi Adele, thank you so much for watching 😊 so happy you found it helpful! My hoop is from a company called Nurge, it's square and plastic, size 3 shown in the video. The stand I'm using is just a table wooden stand from Amazon, no special brand 😊
happy stitching 🌸
Marie
@@CaterpillarCrossStitch thank you for replying!
Hi! Thanks for these videos! I have a quick question. Is the loop and pin stitch coupled together strong enough for a cross stitch I’m turning into a pillow?
Thanks so much for watching Courtney 😊 anything involving pin stitch is great in terms of secure stitches - for a pillow I'd recommend using an iron-on interface on the back of your project for extra securing your stitches 😊
Happy stitching 🌸
Marie
But how do you keep the threads from loosening when washing if not knotted? Hand washing requires agitation so wouldn’t it start to come undone?
These are machine washable and won't come undone?? I have tried to the weave in method under several stitches, and it comes out with a simple pull. If i'm trying to do cross stitch onto clothes that are going to brushing up against stuff, i imagine these wont do the trick, except the pin stitch method but is there no tie-method that guarantees thread security?
Thanks for watching :)
Please help me. I received a lion cross stitched. I want to frame it but it is crooked. How can I block it in a perfect square to frame?
We have a great video on framing that might help:

Im struggling with finishing an isolated french knot 😢😅
Hi! No problem, we have an easy-to-follow video on French knots on this channel :)
What do you do with the non-loop end (the open end of the thread)? I put the needle through the loop and pull tight and the thread just slides out of my needle 🤬
Thank you for your question - this mostly comes with experience to be honest but here’s my best tips 😊
Leave a long enough tail so that the thread doesn’t slip out so easily. I also noticed that when I’m pulling needle, I started holding the eye of the needle with my ring finger. Just gently pressing the thread against the needle which is enough to keep it from unthreading 😊
You can also tie the thread on the eye of the needle but I wouldn’t recommend it - it severely damages the thread and the knot coming through the fabric makes stitching more difficult!
Hope this helps 😊
Happy stitching 🌸

Oops, the stitches on the reverse side resemble the front stitching.
