im glad this tutorial showed me the english method exists
the others only showed the danish and it seemed really daunting for doing complex pixel arts
Thank you for the video straight to the point 👍👍👍the show how to do it... I tried to see other videos 🙄😒😤🤦🤦🤦🤦 OMG talk and talk 🤦🤦🙄🙄🙄 next😁😁😁 thank you awesome video straight to the point 👍
Really helpful and easy to follow video, thanks a lot!
Thank you, I just started to learn!
Welcome to the addictive and stabbily-satisfying hobby of cross stitch!
I prefer the second method shown. It's easier for me and it makes neater stitches.
I would like to see stitching on uneven weave linen. Thx!
Brilliant instructions, thankyou
Thanks for explaining how to stsrt
Thank you for the video, very helpful.
It helped thank you❤
I like the Dotch stitch too
Interestingly, I use bits and pieces of each method, including the one not shown, except the sewing method because I tend to keep my stitches on the tight side naturally, it’s probably better I’ve never tried that one 😁
I do, too! Except Parking Method, and it depends on the pattern and my personal preferences at the time. Which I reserve the right to change at a moments notice 😉
Notorious Needle exactly! Which makes it interesting when I’m trying to help my friend I’m helping learn stitching long distance, when she asks me how to do a thing in stitch. That’s how I found your channel actually, trying to find a good video tutorial to explain steps that are hard to explain over the phone.
@@shinelumiere I love that :D
Awesome... Thank You!
great video!!! can you make one how to make/print and use cross stitch pattern, please thank you!!
Glad you liked it! This video might help you regarding how to use a cross stitch pattern. Hope this helps! ua-cam.com/video/G50wieOHcb8/v-deo.html
I know the basics of cross stitching, until I need the same color in a far away spot😭 do I finish the parts that are connected and then use a different thread for the different part? With so many colors I don’t want the back to get too crowded
For me, I find it really easy to mess up the counting if I stitch too far away from where I've started. So I like to stitch the parts in between, even if it's a different color. But it really is a personal preference.
And don't worry TOO much about the back. There are benefits to a tidy back, sure, but so long as YOU like the way it looks on the front, that's the most important.
Can you please tell me does the threads come as one to use on needle? I got confused cuz it says it has 6 strands on it
Does that mean I have to take a thread off and use that ?
And do I double the thread while cross stitching ?
You pull one from the bunch.
The most common embroidery floss like DMC and Anchor comes in 6 strands. You will need to pull out the strands separately to stitch with. Your pattern should tell you how many strands to use for each stitch. On 14ct fabric for instance, most people use 2 strands for cross stitch and 1 strand for back stitch. Here's a video about how to separate the strands without getting them all tangled up: ua-cam.com/video/1Ca9CHdpgGQ/v-deo.html
In order to make cross does it matter whether first and second half stitch starts from upper or lower hole? I find it problematic to stitch in the up direction as starting hole is already occupied.
Doesn’t matter in the least! 😊 While I stitch, this usually switches from row to row.
What’s the best way to make straight lines on the outline? I love the Danish method
I’m not sure what you mean. Are you talking about back stitch? Usually, that’s what people use to outline and it’s a different stitch from cross stitch.
I have never seen anyone fold the fabric while doing the sewing method!
It’s the only way I saw it for YEARS. Now I’ve seen folks do it a bit differently, weaving the needle down and then back up through the fabric. Still, not with a hoop.
I’m confused
did u ever figure it out
Me too...
Did you figure it out
I understand the first row, but the second row under the first do you share the same hole as the first row used?
Yes, you do.
What if your sight is not good enough to count the smaller size aida cloth...just use preprinted cloth?
The primary factor that makes it harder to see your cross stitch is the size of the stitches. And this is true for stamped (preprinted) cross stitch and counted cross stitch. You're in luck! There's lots of ways to help when you struggle with eye sight:
Using magnifiers
Increasing the lighting where you stitch
Using a lower count of fabric (fewer stitches per inch means bigger stitches)
My Mom uses all 3 of these to help her stitch, and she has suffered from poor eye sight her entire life. So I hope they will help for you, too.
@@NotoriousNeedle Thank you .I can see printed but I don't like the patterns much.
Is it better to use the same technique throughout the entire project? Or do you change it up based on the direction you are moving in? I assume you can't use the English technique if you are going upwards on the fabric unless you loop back through something.
You can use whichever technique is comfortable for you. You can change it up or use the same technique throughout.
I find doing one X at a time is easier when I’m stitching X’s that aren’t connected, like confetti. And I stitch rows or columns for big blocks.
Some stitchers always stitch a certain way because that’s what they’re used to, so they go a bit faster and enjoy it more.
@@NotoriousNeedle Good to know, thanks!
Wow
thank you!!!
I need to know how you thread it in the needle lol I'm that much of a noob...
lol No problem! We all have to start at the beginning :) Here's how to thread a needle:

How do you chose the colour? :)
Hi! When you purchase a pattern, the chosen colors are provided in the floss color key. This might help[ explain it better: ua-cam.com/video/G50wieOHcb8/v-deo.html
When you are cross stitching, do you ever keep your hand above the linen(or whatever you are stitching on)? I’m trying to figure out how some people are so fast. The first time I stitched it was probably 35 years ago 😩 and I did it the danish way although I didn’t know what it was. I haven’t stitch in probably 30 years so it’s almost like starting over. I definitely use a magnifying light now. Thank you so much for this video.
I'm not sure, but I think you are referring to two-handed stitching - where one hand stays under the fabric and one hand stays on top.
I have stitched that way! And it can go faster. But that requires some kind of stand and hoop or frame to hold the fabric in place while both your hands are stitching. So I usually only do that on really big projects.
You get faster with practice. Try stitching a few different ways - change how you hold your fabric: in hand v. hoop v. stand, try the sewing method (the Housewives of Cross Stitch use the sewing method and are very fast). You'll soon figure out what works best for you. :)
How do you know the front and from the back of the material you use?
Hi Sherrol, I’m not sure, but I think you’re asking how do I know where to push the needle through from the back?
When pushing the needle from the back, I know by “feel” approximately where the needle should go. Then I place the needle where I can feel it should go. If that’s not the right hole, I gently scrape the needle across the back until I find the right hole and push it through.
After years of practice, all of this takes only a moment.
Let me know if you have a different question.
From can I purchase this material please in U.K.
If you're referring to aida cloth and DMC embroidery floss, it will be available in most hobby and craft stores.
I have just begun cross stitch , ordered a kit from China which I didn’t know this when I ordered , took weeks to get here and I discovered that all information is in Chinese so I’m very lost . Cloth is very tight and hard to see stitches . Should I use strand as is or separated?
Hi Joy, how many stitches fit in a linear inch on your fabric?
@@NotoriousNeedle 10
Could you make ones where your actually stitching into clothes not just a square?
Just started frustrated I went to my class couldn't catch on yet
Did u tie a knot at the end
You could tie a knot at the end. I prefer not to because it’s easier for me to frame without knots.
I bury the tail behind the stitches. Here’s a tutorial that explains more about ending your thread:
www.notoriousneedle.com/how-to-end-thread/
Great but closer please esp sewing method
Tack🎉🎉🎉
That's what I'm saying 👇
would be better if dhown how to follow directions for pattern design
How do you switch from one colour to another please
Hi Sarah! To switch to another color, you have to end the thread (I show you how in this video ua-cam.com/video/6fIaQBjHskI/v-deo.html), thread the needle with a new color (I show you how here ua-cam.com/video/B1ofAODG4E0/v-deo.html) then start stitching (ua-cam.com/video/SycL-oflT4Y/v-deo.html)
All of these are in the Cross Stitch for Beginners playlist here ua-cam.com/play/PL-7EKlnkMJrIlDAPdrBhS9gDxCvEKk5Hl.html You might find a few more nuggets. Happy Stitching!
What's the use of that ring...
Hi James - I think you are referring to the embroidery hoop. I was using that as an example in this video for two-handed cross stitch.
@@NotoriousNeedle yeah, but seems useless to me, you use both hands anyway 🤔
@@subseeker it’s helpful to keep the fabric taut so that it’s easy to count and keep straight, especially for larger patterns
@@explodingmangos3416 ok, thanks. I'm a noobie and I have a huge work ahead... And I'm still gathering courage to start the whole thing, so that's why the stupid question(s) 🙄
😮❤
Can you show back stitch please.
Hi Carol, you can watch our back stitch video here: ua-cam.com/video/-HaJrrs5A8c/v-deo.html
Hope that helps!!
How many strains of thread are you using? Seems like too much.
Hi Linda, I recorded this video a while ago now, so I honestly can't remember how many strands of thread I used. I usually use 3-4 on 14ct, but I recommend 2-3 strands on 14ct to new stitchers. I happen to like using more strands so that none of the fabric shows through the stitches, but like most things in cross stitch, it's a personal preference. Make what you want! :)
Thank you for the suggestions. I am new to cross stitch. I am a little confused on the strains. Will watch more videos
@@lindaalbert8404 Welcome to the world of cross stitch!
