Hello Andrew, You have a great flosstube. I love that you showed your medal from your 15K. You are going to need another medal holder. I love that you have combined running with stitching. Carmen from Fargo
The stitchy community is the best. Kiss will look great on that linen. Love the Odysseus Sal. Mythology fan from childhood and the 6 headed Sea Serpent intrigues me. Great progress on all your wips!
Andrew your video was not boring, not all videos have to be long ones. Your stitching progress is great, you are going great guns on the Disney jumper. How lovely for you to meet a fellow stitcher and runner and so sweet of her to come support you ❤️. We'll done on that race too, have you seen about a man here in the UK called Kevin Sinfield, he has been doing 7 marathons in 7 days to raise money and awareness for his old rugby league buddy Rob Burrows who has MND and its his 2nd set of 7 in 7. It is amazing. Your happy mail was so sweet too, stitchers are such generous and supportive people. Have a wonderful week 🤗
Thank you so much. I appreciate you saying that. Even if it was shorter it was great to catch up with you all! I haven't seen that about Kevin, but WOW that is impressive. It's amazing what people can do! Have a great week as well
Hello again Andrew. I can’t get over how much stitching you get done. You must be quite fast. Start alongs are such fun. I never plan to keep up as I stitch quite slowly. The Disney sweatshirts are amazing. Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks for sharing your stitching and running. I have been stitching off and on since the late 80s and just started running in Jan 2023. Good luck on the Dopey!
Greetings from Switzerland! I'm glad you could get the fabric from this very nice lady! I was looking around here in Europe, but no luck. Happy stitching and a wonderful Christmas then to all!
Happy holiday stitching to you as well! Thank you for watching the video! I still feel so blessed it was sent to me. I'm sure you'll find a great fabric to stitch it on though!
Congratulations Andrew!!! Did not realize you were in NY!! I’m a Native New Yorker. You’re such a kind soul!! Love your sweatshirt and your metal! Yay you met a stitcher so many kind people in this community!! Great progress love your metal too! Happy Holidays! Wow! Hugs and blessings! -Christine ❤
Thank you for sharing, your sweatershirt is lovely, what a fun project! My partner loves 15K races, especially in colder weather, says they are a fun length. Happy Stitching.
Hi from Australia, I really like watching your videos, short or long doesn't matter. I hope you get your sweatshirt done in time. BTW, you are gorgeous!!
Thank you for the video. I enjoyed the visit, and I love shorter visits. Some people think they have to do at least an hour, and I a lot of times don't have that much time to finish them. Very enjoyable
Thank you so much! Appreciate you saying that. I think I'll work at keeping most of my videos around 20-30 minutes. Even if it's short, it's still nice to catch up with you all!
Loved your first and second video! You have some awesome WIPS going on! And oh the waste canvas! And Mickey! Love! Love!Love! I’ve done a few waste canvas in my time. And I actually loved the pulling of the threads out from underneath the stitching! I found it quite therapeutic! Lol! Congrats on the marathon. We just had the Honolulu marathon here yesterday. Not a big runner though. I like to only exercise on my elliptical! 🤪Anyway happy stitching and have fun in Florida with the ‘rents!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I should have found you to pull out my threads on the owl sweatshirt haha :). The elliptical is a great way to exercise too! Happy stitching!
Thanks for your second video and the many more to come. 😊 You are making such wonderful progress on your sweatshirt and SAL’s. You need to do a video on to x-stitch on sweatshirts.
Hi Andrew! Loved your 2nd video. Your WIPS are so beautiful. I am a running stitcher too! Have a wonderful Christmas time in Florida. Much love from Utrecht in the Netherlands❤
Hello again, Andrew. 👋 No need to apologize for a shorter video; the quality of content is what matters, and you fulfill that aspect very well! 👏I luv your progress on your Disney sweatshirt! It's coming along nicely! 👌Enjoy your trip; be safe. 🫂
Hello fellow New Yorker (I'm on Staten Island) Congrats & Welcome to flosstube! 🎉 It has changed my life too! I've been stitching on and off for 25 years and I also think flosstube is a game changer for a lot of people. I also started watching flosstube by watching Teresa Little Stitcher... she is the one who really gave me my stitchy bug back! I also watch Lala Dee Stitches, she's awesome too! I started my Gaia on a SAL with Teresa and its coming along slowly but it'll be worth it. I love the wash away aida cloth idea. You've inspired me to make myself a sweatshirt! I love your spirit and positive outlook on everything!
Thank you so much and great to meet another stitcher in NY! Flosstube has been wonderful and so nice to meet all of you amazing people! Definitely let me know how you like stitching on the sweatshirt!
Great video number 2 I’m a previous runner getting back into running 🏃♀️ Thanks for the inspiration ❤ My Christmas stitching is Mill Hill charmed Santa 🎅 faces
Thank you! I love that running is something you can just pick up and start slow and eventually build up. It's always nice to get outside too. Oh I love Mill Hills. I bet those are so fun over the holiday!
Well I have to say that your 'not that much to show' looked pretty awesome to me 😄 Especially the Disney jumper which is looking amazing 😍 A shame you had to frog some but definitely the right call. Looking forward to hearing your stitchy plans for next year 😀
I’m glad you came back for your 2nd video! How awesome & kind that you were sent that beautiful fabric . Have a lovely break in Florida. I’m from the U.K. but Florida is my happy place! 😃
Thank you! I'm glad to be back :). I cannot wait to start using the fabric. Just waiting for the rest of my kit to arrive! Florida is such a nice break for me from the city and I always enjoy some family time there this time of year.
Hi your second video was lovely. You are quite fast stitcher to have done so much on the sweatshirt and the sal. Looking foreward to the next one. Happy Christmas from the uk
Aww thank you! Yes I can't wait to connect more with Yamir :). I didn't know that about Floss Boss n Cousins, but I will check them out now. Thank you for telling me!
Got excited when I saw you posted another video. Started watching on a short break at work. Then couldn't wait to get off work so I could finish watching. Loved the little clip of your marathon with her cheering you on. I love how a normally solitary hobby connects people. Great job on your videos and your stitching.
Thank you for watching again! It was so great to have her cheer me on. I'm learning the stitching community is just full of wonderful people. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Quite on the contrary in my case, shorter videos are much more welcome and much more motivating, because each time I see a stitcher showing an impressive number of projects worked on I feel de-motivated and slow as a snail. :) So your video is like a breath of fresh air and both the sweater for your mom and the Caterpillar sal look so weeel already! Happy stitching!
Oh thank you! I know what you mean when there are so many projects in play. I will probably keep my WIP count low for my own sanity, but I also like the finishing aspect :). Thank you for watching and Happy Stitching to you as well!
Really enjoyed our visit Andrew and please dont worry about how long or how short your video is. You stitched on wayyyy more than me because im a monogamous stitcher right now. Maybe next year i will start a few more but for now im enjoying my full coverage called Spotted by TCSS and artwork by Abraham Hunter 😊. Too bad they wont let us share pictures on our comments or i woukd show you. I loved seeing your progress on your wips...theyre coming along nicely. Congratulations on finishing your race...Wow, 9 miles is a long way. Very impressive 👏 and plus you got to meet a stitchy flosstube friend...how exciting is that!! I had a very nice Thanksgiving and glad that you did too. Looking forward to seeing your flosstubes from Florida and hope you have an Amazing stay at your parents. Until our next visit, stay safe and hope you get plenty of relaxing stitchy time...Bye for now, JoDee 😊
Hi JoDee! Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! There is nothing wrong with only having one project going and it's nice to see more progress that way! I'd love to see your project if you want to email a picture to therunnerstitcher@gmail.com :). Hope you have a great week of stitching!
@@therunnerstitcher i would love to email you a picture of my 1st full coverage that I stitched in 18 months and now my progress on my 2nd full coverage. Both are by The Cross Stitch Studio. Im hooked on FC now. Will have to email you later this evening though...hope you have a great day 🥰
Hi Andrew, greetings from Ireland. I loved your first video and was delighted to find you had posted again tonight. Congratulations on the super progress. I hadn't considered stitching on clothes before but I loved the Owl with a Scarf so much, I bought the pattern and am looking forward to stitching it! All the best, 💚 Agnes
Hi Agnes! Thank you so much. I visited Ireland once in 2019 and fell in love with how beautiful it is there. I'm so glad you got the owl pattern and hope you enjoy stitching it as much as I did!
You sweatshirt is looking great - but wow that was a huge difference in colour! I’m with you,would have to have unpicked it because it would always bug me - take care, happy Christmas! Nic x
Wow! Great second video. I was excited when I saw you had another video up. You don’t have to apologize for a short video, sometimes short is sweeter. Your stitching is coming along beautifully. I love everything you are working on. Can’t wait to see your start on your Mirabilia, her patterns are all so beautiful. Congrats on your race and getting to meet another stitcher that is also a runner, how exciting. Have a safe trip and a great visit with your family. Can’t wait for FlossTube 3❤. Maybe we can meet your parents if you film in Florida
Thank you so much. I really appreciate you saying that! Even if it was shorter, it was still great to catch up with everyone. Mirabilia is coming so stay tuned :)
Great to see you again Andrew😃. Your sweatshirt is coming along so pretty. Congratulations on your finish at the marathon. This video was not boring! See you again soon. Did you get any threads from Emera? Stay safe🤗🇬🇧
Love seeing all your stitching progress! The magical pattern is adorable over 1 ❤ Congrats on your race. Good luck on the sweatshirt. Have a great week!
Loved episode 2 as well even though it was shorter. And that’s okay it’s shorter, life …. That’s awesome you got to meet Yamir in the wild. She’s wonderful. Enjoy your journey and thanks for taking us along. ❤❤
So glad you’re going to keep on making flosstube videos. It’s like you’ve been doing it for years, you’re a natural. Keep up the wonderful content and I actually enjoy shorter videos with quality content. Have a merry Christmas and a wonderful time in Florida. Looking forward to your next flosstube.
All of your projects are coming along so nicely! I love the SALs you’re working on and can’t wait to see the finished sweatshirt. Congratulations on your race! ❤
It’s like the fridge knew you were hosting Thanksgiving! Wonderful progress - your sweatshirt is already half way done! So lovely to see you again my friend. ❤
Love the Odyssey project! The fabric and thread color is perfect! Congratulations on the 9k, and yes, I was thinking a tad bit touched in the head for your 4 day races in January. 😉.
Hi Andrew! Welcome back!!❤ Love the Odyssey SAL!! So tickled you're making such headway on the Disney sweatshirts❤❤ X stitch is never boring! We are cheering you on!! I'm in Valrico, FL, just west of Orlando off I-4. Have a great time!!
Thanks so much!! Appreciate all the cheering :). The deadline is fast approaching, but I think I can finish the Disney sweatshirt in time! Definitely excited to get some warmer weather in FL!
Lovely to see you back Andrew! Those Disney sweatshirts are so much fun. Do you work in a hoop with them or just in hand? How amazing to have been gifted a piece of the exact called for linen for your Kiss piece. It’s going to be so beautiful. Keep up with the Disney stitches!
Hi Sarah! Thank you for watching again! I use a Qsnap when working on the Disney sweatshirt because I have one small enough but fits each individual frame/character and is easy to move around. I was so shocked when the fabric arrived and I cannot wait to use it for my first Mira! Looking forward to your next video as well :)
Dopey is a bucket list event for me! We definitely have a lot less races/fun themed runs up here (a lot of ours are based on how cold it could be!). I’m really looking forward to seeing that Mira as I don’t think I’ll ever get the pattern 😅
I got to watch 2 videos in a row - yaay! Have you seen Bothy Threads Cut Thru' kits? They have cute tiny details, and I'm itching to get the one with a castle
We don’t stitch the same type of patterns but I find you so enjoyable and appreciate your joy of the craft. Your Caterpillar Cross-stitch piece looks fun!!
I love that about cross stitching. We can all choose from so many styles and patterns and yet still appreciate the patience and hard work each piece takes. What types of patterns do you typically stitch? The Caterpillar Cross-Stitch SAL has been so enjoyable for the holiday season!
@@therunnerstitcher I guess you can say I like Quick stitches that don’t really look like a quick stitch… Such as little house needleworks,Primrose, cottage, hands on design, stitching with the housewives country cottage needleworks, with the needle and thread. The stitches I pick seem to tell the story about my childhood, family and my experiences I guess. I include them in vignettes of all of my resale and garage sale finds and I find it so fun how it all goes together!
That sounds amazing! I love stitching on meaningful pieces that are part of your own story. I'll have to check out some of those designers! Happy stitching!
Your Mickey and gang sweatshirt is coming along wonderfully! Wow, taking on a Mirabilia is very courageous! I love the look of them, but don't know if I have it in me to take one on, LOL! I've been toying with the idea of starting Nora Corbett's Christmas Eve Couriers collection, as they're much smaller, but don't know if I want to commit. It's a lot of beadwork. Maybe I'll start with the Mill Hill Haunted Cottage instead, and see how I like beading.
Thank you! I did start with a Mill Hill ornament that had a lot of beading and I didn't hate it as much as I thought I might ha. Maybe I'm jumping in over my head, but I'm going to try it!
You Disney stitching is coming along nice! I really like it, as I did the one you stitched for your mother! And wow - 28ct and one over one - that is small!! But it looks good! And the black on yellow - the colorcombo is just great! People in the flosstube community are so nice and really welcome you to the wonderful world of crossstitchers :) Hi from Finland!
Hi, Andrew. I enjoyed your video. Your Odessey piece is great. I love the color of fabric you used. Be sure to snap a picture of your mom when she opens her stitched sweatshirt. Do you have any LNSs nearby or do you have to order everything? As a kids my sister and I had a Goofy puppet that we teased each other with all the time. Congratulations on your running medal. Have a safe trip and a Merry Christmas.
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I honestly love stitching on the Odyssey piece. You would think there would be an LNS in NYC, but I haven't found one yet. Still looking, but so far I've ordered everything online.
So glad to see another video from you! I'm signed up to run a 12k on the 16th. I'll end up walking most of it, but I'll run what I can. Excited to see progress on your sweater!
Thank you very much! Oh that's great about the 12k. Whether you walk or run, you'll still complete the distance and that's an awesome accomplishment. Best of luck!
I am also a stitcher and a bit of a lapsed runner, I really need to restart my running journey. I got injured and I'm totally healed now I just also got out of the good habit :(
Hi and thank you for watching! It is hard to start it back up once you get out of the habit, so I definitely understand! Once you get the urge and desire to start back up it will happen!
You don't have to apologize for a short video. Your videos are great! I can't imagine running all those miles! Love your sweatshirt. It is coming along nicely. You might like to check out "The Dizzy Stitcher". I love his videos. Darren does large full coverage projects and a lot of them are animals. He also does stitch -a- longs, I am working on Strawberry Harvest by Cottage Garden Samplings. Going to be pretty...if I ever get the darn wings done!
Thank you very much! I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos. I will definitely check out the Dizzy Stitcher! Thank you for the recommendation. One stitch at a time for Strawberry Harvest and you will get there :) !
What race distance is your favorite? I really like 10k’s :) It’s so sweet that you’ve received so much loving support from the stitching community already!! That Odyssey piece is really cool!
Thank you so much! I also love the Odyssey piece and it's a joy to stitch on. I would say my favorite race is the half marathon. I like the distance and yet it's not near as tough on your body as a full marathon :). Happy stitching and running!
I love your video and thank you for the info about new way to cross stitch on clothes. I used to do it for my mom and you are right about getting that waste cavas out. Where do you buy the new washable stuff?
Thank you very much and I'm glad that was helpful! I purchased mine on Amazon, but I'm sure there are other places. Here's the link: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TBF5Q22/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
Hi Andrew! Your sweatshirt is coming along nicely....question, how does the plastic adhere to the sweatshirt while stitching? Is it held down by the q-snaps? Have fun in Florida 🐊🐊🐊
Good question! I hold it down with the qsnap, but you can also sew it on around the edges and then remove it at the end. I just found the qsnap to be easier for me!
So happy to have found you! Love your enthusiasm and enjoying seeing your progress! Question on the sweatshirt, how do you a) add the cross stitching piece (sorry, can’t remember what it’s called-essentially it is what turns your shirt fabric into something you can cross stitch on), and 2) how does it come off when you’re finished stitching? I’m so intrigued-maybe I need to try something similar in the new year! Also a Disney and runDisney fan!
Thank you so much! So I use a water soluble canvas (14 count). You can either do a running stitch along the border to keep it in place and then remove at the end or, for me, I get it to where I want and then carefully secure it using the Qsnap (probably not the most professional way ha). Once you have some stitches in though it's not going anywhere and I can adjust as I move my Qsnap along. At the end, you soak it in water and the water soluble canvas dissolves so all you are left with is the sweatshirt! Hope that helps, but definitely let me know how you like it if you give it a shot!
Hi Andrew, I enjoyed watching your Flosstube and here I am at the second ! you are a very fast stitcher and your work is beautiful... I Like the hoops you are working with, who are they made by ? I too will be in Orlando for Christmas visiting my daughter, didn't want to deal with the snow this year I'm from Buffalo, New York...Until next time stay safe !
Thank you so much! I'm glad you are enjoying the video! Definitely agree about the warmer weather and lack of snow in Florida! Most of the hoops I use are from the brand Nurge. Here's a link to the set I got: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C6YQ7XBD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=therunnerstit-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=d581efd0c35a09114d200d4b36ee5618&camp=1789&creative=9325
Thank you so much! The water soluble canvas I use is one I bought on Amazon. Here's the link if you're interested: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TBF5Q22/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=therunnerstit-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=33be4f4b4200a6eeee67788443328a05&camp=1789&creative=9325
Hi Andrew! I am stitching Minnie on a bright pink sweatshirt for my 4 year old granddaughter. Do you suggest I fill in the blank space with white stitches? I think the squares are less than 4" each. Thanks again for your inspiration and shared joy!
That's awesome! That will be great. Is this pink sweatshirt a different shade from her bow? I think with the backstitching it would still probably pop ok without the white stitches, but maybe it would be easier if you email a picture to me to see? Happy to help and glad you're finding some inspiration in stitching this sweatshirt!
I decided to go with a light pink sweatshirt like you did for your mom. I don't think I will have to fill it in. I'll send you a pic! @@therunnerstitcher
Loved the progress on the sweatshirt but I have a question! How do you center the image and how do you keep the waste canvas from moving before you get going? Thanks for the video!
Thank you! Centering it was just using my best measurements/guessing :). It's not perfect, but it turned out ok! At the beginning I usually stitch a running stitch along the edges to hold it in place. Once I get going I cut that and just use the canvas!
Awesome! Definitely worth trying. I would use the water soluble canvas (link in the description of the video) as it was much easier to get out (just soak in water and it dissolves). Hope you enjoy it!
Wow! A 5k, 10k, 1/2 and full marathon in 4 days!! I can’t imagine, but good for you! Just curious what your occupation is? I’m enjoying your videos and glad I found you.
I bought mine on Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TBF5Q22/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=therunnerstit-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=33be4f4b4200a6eeee67788443328a05&camp=1789&creative=9325. Hope this helps!
Hello Andrew, You have a great flosstube. I love that you showed your medal from your 15K. You are going to need another medal holder. I love that you have combined running with stitching.
Carmen from Fargo
Hi Carmen! Thank you so much. I'm glad you are enjoying the video and I agree I do need another medal holder :)
The stitchy community is the best. Kiss will look great on that linen. Love the Odysseus Sal. Mythology fan from childhood and the 6 headed Sea Serpent intrigues me. Great progress on all your wips!
Thank you so much! Highly recommend the Odyssey SAL if you are interested in Mythology. It's such a lovely stitch!
I am so happy I found your Flosstube. Love your stitching. The sweatshirts are adorable. Looking forward to your next episode.
Thank you so much!
Enjoying your videos so much . Love Love Love the Disney sweatshirts. Your Mom will be so thrilled.
Thank you so much! :)
Our cross stitching community is the best! Can't wait to see your new start on The Kiss!
Agreed! It will be coming shortly. Almost kitted up!
Nice to be heard and loved. It’s a great group out here.
It sure is! A great stitching community!
I was so happy to see a second video from you! I really enjoy spending time with you while i stitch!!! Look forward to seeing all ur progress!! 🤗🪡❤️
Aww thank you so much! I enjoy getting to catch up with you all as well. What are you currently stitching on?
Andrew your video was not boring, not all videos have to be long ones.
Your stitching progress is great, you are going great guns on the Disney jumper.
How lovely for you to meet a fellow stitcher and runner and so sweet of her to come support you ❤️. We'll done on that race too, have you seen about a man here in the UK called Kevin Sinfield, he has been doing 7 marathons in 7 days to raise money and awareness for his old rugby league buddy Rob Burrows who has MND and its his 2nd set of 7 in 7. It is amazing.
Your happy mail was so sweet too, stitchers are such generous and supportive people.
Have a wonderful week 🤗
Thank you so much. I appreciate you saying that. Even if it was shorter it was great to catch up with you all! I haven't seen that about Kevin, but WOW that is impressive. It's amazing what people can do! Have a great week as well
❤nice to see you again well done on your race🎉 lovely wips happy stitching and look forward to your next video ❤

Thank you so much! Definitely worth the effort put forth!
Love your progress on you wips. Happy stitching!

Thanks so much! It really is such a fun piece to stitch on
Yay! So glad there’s a second video. So enjoyed the first and looking forward to more.
Thank you so much! Stay tuned!
Thanks for sharing your stitching and running. I have been stitching off and on since the late 80s and just started running in Jan 2023. Good luck on the Dopey!
That's awesome! It's great to see how many other people enjoy both of these hobbies! They make a good combination I think!
Thank you Andrew for a great video. I love your sweatshirt and your other projects!
Thank you so much!
Greetings from Switzerland! I'm glad you could get the fabric from this very nice lady! I was looking around here in Europe, but no luck. Happy stitching and a wonderful Christmas then to all!
Happy holiday stitching to you as well! Thank you for watching the video! I still feel so blessed it was sent to me. I'm sure you'll find a great fabric to stitch it on though!

Great to see your work, Andrew! Blessings!
Thank you :)
Thank you for sharing, your sweatershirt is lovely, what a fun project! My partner loves 15K races, especially in colder weather, says they are a fun length. Happy Stitching.
Thank you so much! I am happy with how it is coming along. I agree 15K is such a nice distance! Happy stitching to you as well!
Thank Andrew. Looking forward to watching your Disney progress.
Thank you!
Your projects are coming across so nice! Definitely in it with your journey ♥️
Thank you so much!
Super video. Wow your needles have been smoking, love seeing all you have worked on. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much! With the deadline coming up, I've gotta keep stitching :)
Your Disney sweatshirts are gorgeous!!!
Thank you!
Love your flosstube channel. I’m in Florida for the winter. I’m sure you will great in your challenge at WDW.
Thank you so much! Glad you are also getting some warmer weather this time of year :)
I ❤short videos...lol! Looking forward to hearing about your stitchy plans for 2024.
Awesome! I'll keep that in mind. Maybe short, sweet and to the point will be how my flosstubes go haha!
Hi from Australia, I really like watching your videos, short or long doesn't matter. I hope you get your sweatshirt done in time. BTW, you are gorgeous!!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoy watching the videos even from Australia! Appreciate the kind words!
Thank you for the video. I enjoyed the visit, and I love shorter visits. Some people think they have to do at least an hour, and I a lot of times don't have that much time to finish them. Very enjoyable
Thank you so much! Appreciate you saying that. I think I'll work at keeping most of my videos around 20-30 minutes. Even if it's short, it's still nice to catch up with you all!
Loved your first and second video! You have some awesome WIPS going on! And oh the waste canvas! And Mickey! Love! Love!Love! I’ve done a few waste canvas in my time. And I actually loved the pulling of the threads out from underneath the stitching! I found it quite therapeutic! Lol! Congrats on the marathon. We just had the Honolulu marathon here yesterday. Not a big runner though. I like to only exercise on my elliptical! 🤪Anyway happy stitching and have fun in Florida with the ‘rents!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I should have found you to pull out my threads on the owl sweatshirt haha :). The elliptical is a great way to exercise too! Happy stitching!
Thanks for your second video and the many more to come. 😊 You are making such wonderful progress on your sweatshirt and SAL’s. You need to do a video on to x-stitch on sweatshirts.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. A how to video is something to consider!
Thanks for sharing your work. Never worry about the length of your videos. Enjoy the holidays with your family. Congratulations on your run.
Happy to share what I'm working on! Thank you and happy holiday stitching to you as well!
Hi Andrew! Loved your 2nd video. Your WIPS are so beautiful. I am a running stitcher too! Have a wonderful Christmas time in Florida. Much love from Utrecht in the Netherlands❤

Hello fellow New Yorker (I'm on Staten Island) Congrats & Welcome to flosstube! 🎉 It has changed my life too! I've been stitching on and off for 25 years and I also think flosstube is a game changer for a lot of people. I also started watching flosstube by watching Teresa Little Stitcher... she is the one who really gave me my stitchy bug back! I also watch Lala Dee Stitches, she's awesome too! I started my Gaia on a SAL with Teresa and its coming along slowly but it'll be worth it. I love the wash away aida cloth idea. You've inspired me to make myself a sweatshirt! I love your spirit and positive outlook on everything!
Thank you so much and great to meet another stitcher in NY! Flosstube has been wonderful and so nice to meet all of you amazing people! Definitely let me know how you like stitching on the sweatshirt!
Great video number 2
I’m a previous runner getting back into running 🏃♀️
Thanks for the inspiration ❤
My Christmas stitching is Mill Hill charmed Santa 🎅 faces
Thank you! I love that running is something you can just pick up and start slow and eventually build up. It's always nice to get outside too. Oh I love Mill Hills. I bet those are so fun over the holiday!
Loved your video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great second video.❤❤❤
Thank you!
Nice progress on all of your stitching I’m am still on part 1 of the caterpillar 🐛 Sal too
Thank you! It's such a joy to stitch on Christmas Wonderland and we still have the whole holiday season to stitch on it!
Great video Andrew. This is a kind and generous community.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and safe trip to Florida.
Thank you very much! Merry Christmas to you as well!
Well I have to say that your 'not that much to show' looked pretty awesome to me 😄 Especially the Disney jumper which is looking amazing 😍 A shame you had to frog some but definitely the right call. Looking forward to hearing your stitchy plans for next year 😀
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The frog finds us all at some point :)
I’m glad you came back for your 2nd video! How awesome & kind that you were sent that beautiful fabric . Have a lovely break in Florida. I’m from the U.K. but Florida is my happy place! 😃
Thank you! I'm glad to be back :). I cannot wait to start using the fabric. Just waiting for the rest of my kit to arrive! Florida is such a nice break for me from the city and I always enjoy some family time there this time of year.
Hi your second video was lovely. You are quite fast stitcher to have done so much on the sweatshirt and the sal. Looking foreward to the next one. Happy Christmas from the uk
Thank you so much! I have been busy, but it's nice to see the progress while I have the time :). Happy holiday stitching!
Hi Andrew so happy to see you again! I also follow Yamir. She is a fantastic stitcher. Did you know that the Floss Boss n Cousins shouted you out?
Aww thank you! Yes I can't wait to connect more with Yamir :). I didn't know that about Floss Boss n Cousins, but I will check them out now. Thank you for telling me!
Nice video. Keep going kiddo.❤
Thanks 🤗!
I love that FlossTube connected you with Yamir. It's a small stitchy world. Carry on!
Me too! Was great to connect!
Loved the video
Thank you!
Got excited when I saw you posted another video. Started watching on a short break at work. Then couldn't wait to get off work so I could finish watching. Loved the little clip of your marathon with her cheering you on. I love how a normally solitary hobby connects people. Great job on your videos and your stitching.
Thank you for watching again! It was so great to have her cheer me on. I'm learning the stitching community is just full of wonderful people. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Andrew, Flosstube #2!! Good job. You are delightful. You are making great progress on all of your projects. Look forward to next time.
Thank you so much! It felt like I didn't have as much to show this time without all of my other FFOs ha. Glad you still enjoyed it!
Another great video. Love the sweatshirt so cute . I wish I had the energy to run even around my house dont no how u do it . 🙂
Thank you so much 🤗
Quite on the contrary in my case, shorter videos are much more welcome and much more motivating, because each time I see a stitcher showing an impressive number of projects worked on I feel de-motivated and slow as a snail. :) So your video is like a breath of fresh air and both the sweater for your mom and the Caterpillar sal look so weeel already! Happy stitching!
Oh thank you! I know what you mean when there are so many projects in play. I will probably keep my WIP count low for my own sanity, but I also like the finishing aspect :). Thank you for watching and Happy Stitching to you as well!
Really enjoyed our visit Andrew and please dont worry about how long or how short your video is. You stitched on wayyyy more than me because im a monogamous stitcher right now. Maybe next year i will start a few more but for now im enjoying my full coverage called Spotted by TCSS and artwork by Abraham Hunter 😊. Too bad they wont let us share pictures on our comments or i woukd show you. I loved seeing your progress on your wips...theyre coming along nicely. Congratulations on finishing your race...Wow, 9 miles is a long way. Very impressive 👏 and plus you got to meet a stitchy flosstube friend...how exciting is that!! I had a very nice Thanksgiving and glad that you did too. Looking forward to seeing your flosstubes from Florida and hope you have an Amazing stay at your parents. Until our next visit, stay safe and hope you get plenty of relaxing stitchy time...Bye for now, JoDee 😊
Hi JoDee! Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! There is nothing wrong with only having one project going and it's nice to see more progress that way! I'd love to see your project if you want to email a picture to therunnerstitcher@gmail.com :). Hope you have a great week of stitching!
@@therunnerstitcher i would love to email you a picture of my 1st full coverage that I stitched in 18 months and now my progress on my 2nd full coverage. Both are by The Cross Stitch Studio. Im hooked on FC now. Will have to email you later this evening though...hope you have a great day 🥰
Tus proyectos lucen hermosos. ❤ Un saludo desde españa
¡Muchas gracias! ¡Me alegro mucho que hayas disfrutado el vídeo y que hayamos podido conectarnos desde España!
Hi Andrew, greetings from Ireland. I loved your first video and was delighted to find you had posted again tonight. Congratulations on the super progress. I hadn't considered stitching on clothes before but I loved the Owl with a Scarf so much, I bought the pattern and am looking forward to stitching it! All the best, 💚 Agnes
Hi Agnes! Thank you so much. I visited Ireland once in 2019 and fell in love with how beautiful it is there. I'm so glad you got the owl pattern and hope you enjoy stitching it as much as I did!
You sweatshirt is looking great - but wow that was a huge difference in colour! I’m with you,would have to have unpicked it because it would always bug me - take care, happy Christmas! Nic x
Hi Nic, I completely agree. Definitely had to fix that :). Thank you and glad you enjoyed the video!
Yay on Flosstube #2!! Congrats on the race and how awesome you met another stitcher who is a runner!! Enjoy your visit with family and Florida!
Thank you so much! It's always nice to meet in person too and find people with similar interests!
So loved your sweatshirt in first video, I went on ETSY and bought the Mickey Gang kit. Happy holidays in Florida,
Oh awesome! It's a great kit and I hope you enjoy it. I'm so happy with how it turned out!
Wow! Great second video. I was excited when I saw you had another video up. You don’t have to apologize for a short video, sometimes short is sweeter. Your stitching is coming along beautifully. I love everything you are working on. Can’t wait to see your start on your Mirabilia, her patterns are all so beautiful. Congrats on your race and getting to meet another stitcher that is also a runner, how exciting. Have a safe trip and a great visit with your family. Can’t wait for FlossTube 3❤. Maybe we can meet your parents if you film in Florida
Thank you so much. I really appreciate you saying that! Even if it was shorter, it was still great to catch up with everyone. Mirabilia is coming so stay tuned :)
I enjoy your stitching and commentary! I'm certain you'll have your sweatshirt done in time for the race! Happy stitching...see ya next time!
Thank you for the confidence. I think I can finish in time too, but it might be close!
Great to see you again Andrew😃. Your sweatshirt is coming along so pretty. Congratulations on your finish at the marathon. This video was not boring! See you again soon. Did you get any threads from Emera? Stay safe🤗🇬🇧
Thanks so much! 😊. I don't think I received anything from Emera. Is that a thread brand?
Love seeing all your stitching progress! The magical pattern is adorable over 1 ❤
Congrats on your race. Good luck on the sweatshirt.
Have a great week!
Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Loved episode 2 as well even though it was shorter. And that’s okay it’s shorter, life …. That’s awesome you got to meet Yamir in the wild. She’s wonderful. Enjoy your journey and thanks for taking us along. ❤❤
Thank you so much! Appreciate all the kind words.
So glad you’re going to keep on making flosstube videos. It’s like you’ve been doing it for years, you’re a natural. Keep up the wonderful content and I actually enjoy shorter videos with quality content. Have a merry Christmas and a wonderful time in Florida. Looking forward to your next flosstube.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the kind words!
All of your projects are coming along so nicely! I love the SALs you’re working on and can’t wait to see the finished sweatshirt. Congratulations on your race! ❤
Thank you so much! I have to say I'm really enjoying all of the projects I have at the moment!
Thank you for the Flosstube, love to follow you💞🤗🙏
Thank you very much!
It’s like the fridge knew you were hosting Thanksgiving! Wonderful progress - your sweatshirt is already half way done! So lovely to see you again my friend. ❤
Right?! The fridge was out to get us ha. Halfway done the sweatshirt feels good to know I'm getting there!
Love the Odyssey project! The fabric and thread color is perfect! Congratulations on the 9k, and yes, I was thinking a tad bit touched in the head for your 4 day races in January. 😉.
Thank you! I really enjoy stitching the Odyssey SAL. It's so fun to see where the pattern goes with each release!
Hi Andrew! Welcome back!!❤ Love the Odyssey SAL!! So tickled you're making such headway on the Disney sweatshirts❤❤ X stitch is never boring! We are cheering you on!! I'm in Valrico, FL, just west of Orlando off I-4. Have a great time!!
Thanks so much!! Appreciate all the cheering :). The deadline is fast approaching, but I think I can finish the Disney sweatshirt in time! Definitely excited to get some warmer weather in FL!
Lovely to see you back Andrew! Those Disney sweatshirts are so much fun. Do you work in a hoop with them or just in hand? How amazing to have been gifted a piece of the exact called for linen for your Kiss piece. It’s going to be so beautiful. Keep up with the Disney stitches!
Hi Sarah! Thank you for watching again! I use a Qsnap when working on the Disney sweatshirt because I have one small enough but fits each individual frame/character and is easy to move around. I was so shocked when the fabric arrived and I cannot wait to use it for my first Mira! Looking forward to your next video as well :)
Rule #264 of FlossTube... never apologize for not showing us new starts, stash, etc.! It's your channel :)
Oh thank you! I appreciate that :)
Dopey is a bucket list event for me! We definitely have a lot less races/fun themed runs up here (a lot of ours are based on how cold it could be!).
I’m really looking forward to seeing that Mira as I don’t think I’ll ever get the pattern 😅
Dopey should be interesting and fun! I'm looking forward to it. Stay tuned for the Mira progress! Hope you had a great holiday!
Your Disney sweatshirt is looking so good and you've made a ton of progress on many things since your last video. Beautiful stitching!
Thank you so much :)
I got to watch 2 videos in a row - yaay!
Have you seen Bothy Threads Cut Thru' kits? They have cute tiny details, and I'm itching to get the one with a castle
Thank you for watching both! I haven't seen Bothy Threads, but I will definitely look them up. Thanks for the recommendation!
We don’t stitch the same type of patterns but I find you so enjoyable and appreciate your joy of the craft. Your Caterpillar Cross-stitch piece looks fun!!
I love that about cross stitching. We can all choose from so many styles and patterns and yet still appreciate the patience and hard work each piece takes. What types of patterns do you typically stitch? The Caterpillar Cross-Stitch SAL has been so enjoyable for the holiday season!
@@therunnerstitcher I guess you can say I like Quick stitches that don’t really look like a quick stitch… Such as little house needleworks,Primrose, cottage, hands on design, stitching with the housewives country cottage needleworks, with the needle and thread. The stitches I pick seem to tell the story about my childhood, family and my experiences I guess. I include them in vignettes of all of my resale and garage sale finds and I find it so fun how it all goes together!
That sounds amazing! I love stitching on meaningful pieces that are part of your own story. I'll have to check out some of those designers! Happy stitching!
Congratulations on your race! Your sweatshirts are going to look amazing!! I want to stitch on a shirt but never have.
Thank you so much! You should give it a try if you're curious and let me know how you like it!
So happy to see number 2. Welcome back, number one was great! So what’s next
Yay! Thank you!
When you have a dye lot change mix the threads..put a strand of each together and that should take care of the color difference
Oh that's a great idea, I never thought of that! Thank you!
Your Mickey and gang sweatshirt is coming along wonderfully! Wow, taking on a Mirabilia is very courageous! I love the look of them, but don't know if I have it in me to take one on, LOL! I've been toying with the idea of starting Nora Corbett's Christmas Eve Couriers collection, as they're much smaller, but don't know if I want to commit. It's a lot of beadwork. Maybe I'll start with the Mill Hill Haunted Cottage instead, and see how I like beading.
Thank you! I did start with a Mill Hill ornament that had a lot of beading and I didn't hate it as much as I thought I might ha. Maybe I'm jumping in over my head, but I'm going to try it!
You Disney stitching is coming along nice! I really like it, as I did the one you stitched for your mother!
And wow - 28ct and one over one - that is small!! But it looks good! And the black on yellow - the colorcombo is just great!
People in the flosstube community are so nice and really welcome you to the wonderful world of crossstitchers :)
Hi from Finland!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. The flosstube community has been so great! Thank you for watching :)
Hi, Andrew. I enjoyed your video. Your Odessey piece is great. I love the color of fabric you used. Be sure to snap a picture of your mom when she opens her stitched sweatshirt. Do you have any LNSs nearby or do you have to order everything? As a kids my sister and I had a Goofy puppet that we teased each other with all the time. Congratulations on your running medal. Have a safe trip and a Merry Christmas.
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I honestly love stitching on the Odyssey piece. You would think there would be an LNS in NYC, but I haven't found one yet. Still looking, but so far I've ordered everything online.
So glad to see another video from you! I'm signed up to run a 12k on the 16th. I'll end up walking most of it, but I'll run what I can. Excited to see progress on your sweater!
Thank you very much! Oh that's great about the 12k. Whether you walk or run, you'll still complete the distance and that's an awesome accomplishment. Best of luck!
I am also a stitcher and a bit of a lapsed runner, I really need to restart my running journey. I got injured and I'm totally healed now I just also got out of the good habit :(
Hi and thank you for watching! It is hard to start it back up once you get out of the habit, so I definitely understand! Once you get the urge and desire to start back up it will happen!
You don't have to apologize for a short video. Your videos are great! I can't imagine running all those miles! Love your sweatshirt. It is coming along nicely. You might like to check out "The Dizzy Stitcher". I love his videos. Darren does large full coverage projects and a lot of them are animals. He also does stitch -a- longs, I am working on Strawberry Harvest by Cottage Garden Samplings. Going to be pretty...if I ever get the darn wings done!
Thank you very much! I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos. I will definitely check out the Dizzy Stitcher! Thank you for the recommendation. One stitch at a time for Strawberry Harvest and you will get there :) !
What race distance is your favorite? I really like 10k’s :)
It’s so sweet that you’ve received so much loving support from the stitching community already!!
That Odyssey piece is really cool!
Thank you so much! I also love the Odyssey piece and it's a joy to stitch on. I would say my favorite race is the half marathon. I like the distance and yet it's not near as tough on your body as a full marathon :). Happy stitching and running!
I like videos between 15-30 minutes.
I love your video and thank you for the info about new way to cross stitch on clothes. I used to do it for my mom and you are right about getting that waste cavas out. Where do you buy the new washable stuff?
Thank you very much and I'm glad that was helpful! I purchased mine on Amazon, but I'm sure there are other places. Here's the link: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TBF5Q22/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
Hi Andrew! Your sweatshirt is coming along nicely....question, how does the plastic adhere to the sweatshirt while stitching? Is it held down by the q-snaps? Have fun in Florida 🐊🐊🐊
Good question! I hold it down with the qsnap, but you can also sew it on around the edges and then remove it at the end. I just found the qsnap to be easier for me!
So happy to have found you! Love your enthusiasm and enjoying seeing your progress! Question on the sweatshirt, how do you a) add the cross stitching piece (sorry, can’t remember what it’s called-essentially it is what turns your shirt fabric into something you can cross stitch on), and 2) how does it come off when you’re finished stitching? I’m so intrigued-maybe I need to try something similar in the new year! Also a Disney and runDisney fan!
Thank you so much! So I use a water soluble canvas (14 count). You can either do a running stitch along the border to keep it in place and then remove at the end or, for me, I get it to where I want and then carefully secure it using the Qsnap (probably not the most professional way ha). Once you have some stitches in though it's not going anywhere and I can adjust as I move my Qsnap along. At the end, you soak it in water and the water soluble canvas dissolves so all you are left with is the sweatshirt! Hope that helps, but definitely let me know how you like it if you give it a shot!
@@therunnerstitcher Thank you for info! That is just so neat-definitely gonna try! I’ll keep you posted!
I hope it goes well!
About the thread color. Good brands like DMV are always the same shade even if you get them next decade
Oh that's good to know! I had assumed that the floss in the kit was DMC, but maybe it wasn't!
Have never seen this waste canvas,is it easy to work with? How do you remove it?
❤
Hi Andrew, I enjoyed watching your Flosstube and here I am at the second ! you are a very fast stitcher and your work is beautiful... I Like the hoops you are working with, who are they made by ? I too will be in Orlando for Christmas visiting my daughter, didn't want to deal with the snow this year I'm from Buffalo, New York...Until next time stay safe !
Thank you so much! I'm glad you are enjoying the video! Definitely agree about the warmer weather and lack of snow in Florida! Most of the hoops I use are from the brand Nurge. Here's a link to the set I got: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C6YQ7XBD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=therunnerstit-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=d581efd0c35a09114d200d4b36ee5618&camp=1789&creative=9325
Hi! Andrew. Your two videos ade great! Can you give me some brand info on the waste canvas you are using please? Happy stitching from Alberta, Canada.
Thank you so much! The water soluble canvas I use is one I bought on Amazon. Here's the link if you're interested: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TBF5Q22/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=therunnerstit-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=33be4f4b4200a6eeee67788443328a05&camp=1789&creative=9325
Thank you for your quick response.
Hi Andrew! I am stitching Minnie on a bright pink sweatshirt for my 4 year old granddaughter. Do you suggest I fill in the blank space with white stitches? I think the squares are less than 4" each. Thanks again for your inspiration and shared joy!
That's awesome! That will be great. Is this pink sweatshirt a different shade from her bow? I think with the backstitching it would still probably pop ok without the white stitches, but maybe it would be easier if you email a picture to me to see? Happy to help and glad you're finding some inspiration in stitching this sweatshirt!
I decided to go with a light pink sweatshirt like you did for your mom. I don't think I will have to fill it in. I'll send you a pic! @@therunnerstitcher
Loved the progress on the sweatshirt but I have a question! How do you center the image and how do you keep the waste canvas from moving before you get going? Thanks for the video!
Thank you! Centering it was just using my best measurements/guessing :). It's not perfect, but it turned out ok! At the beginning I usually stitch a running stitch along the edges to hold it in place. Once I get going I cut that and just use the canvas!
@@therunnerstitcher Awesome! I have never tried using waste canvas before and you have inspired me to try!
Awesome! Definitely worth trying. I would use the water soluble canvas (link in the description of the video) as it was much easier to get out (just soak in water and it dissolves). Hope you enjoy it!
Wow! A 5k, 10k, 1/2 and full marathon in 4 days!! I can’t imagine, but good for you! Just curious what your occupation is? I’m enjoying your videos and glad I found you.
It does sound crazy when you say it out loud ha. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos! I work in tech Support.
Great video Andrew! Love the Disney shirts. The Kiss is going to be gorgeous! Take care!!
where did you get your Disney cross stitch it is so cute?
This is a pattern/kit I found on ebay called Color Blocks (Mickey and the Gang)
Where did you buy the water soluble canvas?
I bought mine on Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TBF5Q22/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=therunnerstit-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=33be4f4b4200a6eeee67788443328a05&camp=1789&creative=9325. Hope this helps!
Thank you for responding. I love your stitching projects - keep up the good work
Wondering if you are part of the “I Run For…”
community?
I haven't heard of that before. What does that entail?
