You should post more from The Spirit of Cross Stitch. I enjoy watching these old videos.
Thanks! I need to get the VHS tapes digitized.
Very easy to understand and great tips! Thank you
I loved that I found this treasure!!
An oldie but goodie!
This was excellent information, thanks for posting
Glad it was helpful!
Timeless! Thank you, this was very informative. I have to go purchase some size 8 this weekend!
Glad it was helpful!
Lovely vintage footage - just proves that needlework is timeless, the information is still relevant 😍 I’ve always wanted to try using the pearl cotton. If I was to stitch a monochromatic sampler, 1 over 2 on linen, would I use a 12 or an 8? Thank you
I'm not sure I can give you a good answer here as I am not a fan of using Pearl Cotton for cross stitch. I have used it for specialty stitches and love it for that purpose. In general, a number 12 is about the same weight as two strands of floss.
Thank you Jean. I’ll experiment with #12 and see if I like the result.
Wonderful! Thank you so much! 👍
Glad you liked it!
Which pearl cotton weight would equate to two strands of regular dmc thread on 14, 16 or 18 count Aida?
I might try a low count linen soon, but I'm not quite there yet ( because Aida is cheaper, but mainly because I've really just started stitching again and it's easier).
Number 12 comes close to the weight of 2 strands of floss.
(Sorry for the delay in responding ... I've been on a stitching cruise!)
