    That was a great video. I’ve always been an in-hand stitcher but I have never heard or seen that method of stitching. No wonder you ladies can stitch so fast! Time to learn the sewing style of stitching.

      @@debbiecarolla7511 Check out this video by Peacock and Fig. It's how I learned to stitch in hand using the sewing method. She goes 1000x slower and uses a better camera angle. Good luck! ua-cam.com/video/VOUhObUYpx0/v-deo.html

      I know how to cross stitch but 18 is as small as I have done,I agree with Debbie and Leslie along with others it would be helpful to see overhead instead of side view it is hard to see what you are explaining!

    Hi girls, I’m new to cross stitch so I don’t have much experience yet but I think I would like to learn the sewing method. I think the way Chelsea do may be easier to me but I couldn’t see clearly how she was doing it. Thanks for sharing much appreciated xx

    I cross stitched for 40 Years on Aida. I've been doing other things lately like appliqué and quilting but decided to try over two with linen. I was so excited to start my project, a little one from Fat Quarter Country Cottage Needleworks for March Cottage. Its very hard for me to see the holes and think I need to get magnifier. I have a nice light but going to try the sewing method. I not going to give up but had to put it down. Thanks for the wonderful video you guys make my day.

    Happy Mother’s Day to each of you and I hope you are all treated like queens!

    I've been stitching forever and I've used many different techniques; one handed stick and stab, two handed stick and stab, sewing method, frames, hoops, qsnaps, in hand, all of those! For the majority of my projects in the past few years i have used qsnaps, but since I started watch The Real Housewives i have been stitching in hand and sewing method and I'm loving it! Thanks for giving me "permission" to do it however I want to!

    @julieweeks1211 3 роки тому +3

    I just started stitching again after years and was having trouble finding the right holes.. I think this method will also work better under the awesome magnifying light I just got. I also just ordered my first set of patterns from the housewives, so am anxious to try your method out! Thanks girls!

  • @chelsearuiz8550
    @chelsearuiz8550 3 роки тому +4

    I’ve always cross-stitched “in hand”. It’s how I learned. I didn’t realize it was a method lol. I just thought it was weather someone could afford (or wanted to spend money on) a hoop. Interesting! Also, I think my favorite part is learning about the sewing method! I’ve never seen cross-stitch done like this. I want to learn how to do it. It looks so much faster.

  • @barbarak413
    @barbarak413 5 років тому +3

    Thanks for sharing. Chelsea's method of going horizontally is so different from what is normally shown to go vertical. I tried her method and noticed less wrist movements plus stitches comes out beautiful. So awesome.

  • @betzie_paintz2284
    @betzie_paintz2284 Рік тому

    I know your video is a few years old. I tried the stitching in hand method on my fabric with my lap stand and q snap. I just was able to start to feel comfortable with doing this method. When stitching right to left, I use my right hand, when stitching left to right I use my left hand. I am ambidextrous, so it makes it fast for me to go in both directions. I know that it is way different than what was demonstrated in your video, but I place my needle in the same places as you do. Thank you for the inspiration!!!

  • @sharonmcgovern470
    @sharonmcgovern470 5 років тому +1

    I stitch in hand too ... not hardly as fast as you all do! I enjoyed the video and got a few tips too, like splitting the stitch when railroading. I didn’t know to do that. It makes a nice stitch. Thanks.

  • @mahriahplugge6853
    @mahriahplugge6853 4 роки тому +9

    I watched you do the loop method to start and I about lost my mind. I’ve been cross stitching for almost twenty years and I’ve never even considered how easy that would be. I should have looked for UA-cam tips and tricks a lot sooner

  • @cattenshi4213
    @cattenshi4213 3 роки тому +2

    I've always avoided evenweave but now that I've seen how to work with it, I may try it! I prefer hand and sewing method vs. attached to a standing holder, I can go so much faster and on a holder it feels so stiff, THANKS for the clear instruction 👍

  • @BuckeyeCrossStitcher
    @BuckeyeCrossStitcher 5 років тому +5

    Great tutorial ladies! I stitch in hand but I'm a stabber from way back! I can't get the sewing method to work from my brain to my hand. It's a whole thing! But I'm a fast stabber, works for me. Practice either way makes perfect. I also use Wonder Clips and roll or fold my extra fabric. It gets all the bulk out of the way when you stitch in hand.

  • @michellesteele7326

    @cathymayfield2064 4 роки тому +1

    I use a hoop, but have wanted to try in hand. Your video was very informative. I take my needle to the back and put my hand under fabric to push the needle back thru. I think it would be faster in hand sewing method. That is how I do my embriodary.

  • @rarasstitchingrealm2276
    @rarasstitchingrealm2276 5 років тому +1

    Thanks ladies for this video, it's the first time I've seen a good demo of railroading, so thank you! I stitch in hand using the sewing method but I go top to bottom of the stitch rather than sideways, possibly like Kimberley was showing. I roll my fabric in from the left so I have less bulk to hold, and I'm holding the backside of the fabric which will help reduce dirt on the front of the fabric( I wash my hands a lot tho, so it's never grubby).

  • @tweet-tweettweety9704
    @tweet-tweettweety9704 5 років тому +2

    Thank you so much for this tutorial! Cash is so cute! I learned something new when Chelsea was stitching horizontally. I will be stitching this way from now on. Priscilla, you make stitching into a "fully loaded hole" look so easy! My big roll of Monaco from FQS came in and I am going to review "The Real Housewives of Cross Stitch" tutorial on tea/ coffee dying this weekend and go for it! I too am thrifty with my fabrics! No 6" borders here! lol Kimberly, I used to stitch from time to time using the loop method and noticed my floss was shredding. I researched and found out that when one uses the loop method, half of the floss fibers are positioned so that one strand is going North, the other is going South, so they rub against each other and wear out instead of laying next to each other. I only use two "pulls" of floss at a time (so maybe this was too much floss), and only used DMC for the loop method, I don't use this method any more. Hopefully, this shredding will never happen to you. Happy Stitching!

  • @deannatobias9401
    @deannatobias9401 5 років тому

    I am happy to know that there are several methods and all them are ok. I do the same method as Kimberly but in hand.I am very comfortable with that. I had a good look at the 28ct. Monaco . I have always used Aida but love the linen look. My eyesight is not great, but I think I can see on Monaco. I’m going to get brave and try it. Thx so much for you sweet girls for the video.

I’ve always been an “in hand” stitcher ... honestly always felt a little like I shouldn’t admit that, like it wasn’t the right way to do it... sooo your video made me so happy when I stumbled across it!! Yahooo I’m out of the stitching closet and am owning up to in hand stitching 😂 thanks gals!!!

    Thank you for the video. I can stitch in hand if stitching straight rows, otherwise, I use a hoop but keep it loose so I can use the sewing method. I stitch on linen, so sometimes it can get a little tricky, at least for me....but it goes so much faster...thank you again!

    I am starting off with needle work and cross stitch, did it in the past but not as a hobby. What I saw some other flosstubers do is using a pool noodle then the fabric that is bunched up in your left hand you roll up on it with the write side of the work rolled up inside and the back side is where you hold it, then the needle work stays more clean as well.

    also if you complete one stitch at a time its easier to fix a mistake. I learned how to stitch in hand on my own. and I am so happy I've been doing it right . I do it just like you guys. I can't stand q-snaps , I own hoops too and I can't go back. I use anchors needles , I've had them for years and never bent or broke any at all . I've had m needles for over 20 years and they still look like new.

  • @Centralmassmedia
    @Centralmassmedia 3 роки тому +2

    I just started cross stitching a couple months ago and this is how I learned! Makes so much sense because it's how I've been hand sewing for 20 years (quilting and hand appliqué). The stab method takes longer and I also saw one guy on youtube who turns his aida over front and back for EVERY stitch - watching his videos made me dizzy. So interesting how everyone does things differently - but we all end up with...RESULTS! YAY!

    ...um....what?....I am a quilter of 20 years...I haven't crosstitched since the 80's and thought I'd pick it up again, as an easy 'take along' handwork project:
    Crosstitch in the 80's - white or cream Aida, 11 or 14 ct - Stab Method, DMC Floss
    Crosstitch Present Day - In Hand, Frame, Hoops, Linen, Evenweave, 1 over 2, 2 over 4 3 over 1,...tiny tiny can't see the holes fabric, overdye, hand dyes, fancy floss, file folder hanging floss thingee, download patterns, FlossTube....stitching in rows, stitching each X, I am completely at a loss....Would LOVE a 'From the very very very beginning' series... a complete Playlist right from the start...there is no stock of anything in our Michael's right now re: crosstitch except for some floss...no Aida or other cloth at all....shipping is basically weeks and weeks away, esp. if it has to come across the border ...sigh...maybe I will just go back to my quilting....

    I wish I could have seen the holes on the Monaco fabric while you stitches it and maybe a little slower. I want to try Monaco but need to learn a little more I love watching both flosstube channels!

    That video was great that is the first time I have ever seen it done that way. The question I have is which is the best way to begin I have always marked the center and then count to get my beginning point . I also wanted to know if I should do the outlines and borders first?

      Hi Kellie! Doing the outlines and borders first is a personal preference; it can be nice to see an outline and fill it in.
