    The kitty had me laughing. So delightful. Very much enjoyed your video. Not sure I'd abandon the summer Quaker, but no shame or blame if you do. It would make a great project bag panel. I would, however, work the other seasons as I wanted to--one thread over two on 36 or 40 count. Not that I have worked that Quaker series, because I haven't. But I have heard from stitchers who have that they've not enjoyed the triple stranded Valdoni experience. I tend to be a fan of threads of all sorts, but when a thread is too thick or too thin for my liking, I will move to what is to my liking. I hope you do, too.

      Thank you! I think I'll have to restart regardless since I want all the quakers to be the same size in the end... but you are right, I really should stitch how I want it!

    ❤ while watching your video I was organizing my New Year/New Start, mainly cutting my floss and putting them on the on Atom Heart Bobbins that you convinced me to buy. I got a small bonus at work so I went to 123stich and bought the Scissor Sampler, fabric, and the called for speciality threads. I was lucky enough to meet Shelbi in person at a retreat and got to see her bookcase piece while she was stitching on it. It was beautiful in person. I love seeing all the different things you stitch on. I stitch mostly fancy ladies. I did At the Met a few years ago. I look forward to seeing your finish. The beading really makes the piece. Thanks for keeping me company in a lonely Christmas morning.

    Love love love this video. Don''t abandon or stop any stitching you love. Continue to finish & then stitch again on fabric or fabric count you like to make them all the same. I have stitched many many projects several times. My opinion only. Been stitching for years & if something doesn't suit your stitching, put away for awhile (years even). I rarely frog out & start over. I will start over but do finish the first one eventually. Isn't stitching the best? Happy Holidays & here is to new starts in 2023. Sizzle on my friend.

    I am hoping to do A Year In The Woods in 2023 (or some of it at least) - I am planning to do all 12 as one piece.
    Looking forward to following along with your stitching - saw a lot of designers that I love too in your WIPs.

    This was a fun wip parade! I had the same feelings about the Valdani floss on my autumn quakers. I started with 3 strands on 28 count, then tried 1 strand over 1 on the 28 count, then finally settled on 2 strands on an 18 count. That last combo stitches up quickly and comfortably, but I'm a little annoyed that the third unused strand almost goes to waste. But I'm sticking with the Valdanis because I already invested in them. I love that Valor that you chose! It's dramatic and beautiful.

    ❤️ 😂 The bloopers at the end crack me up. I enjoyed seeing all your WIPS. I think I'm a mood stitcher too because a pattern just seems to call me and I just will stitch on it until another one rings. I'm OK with that. I don't do WIPGO or the Book of Days. I think it's neat, but I'd rather put my time in stitching then keeping track of all that. I stitch bigger things too but only have 9 WIPS at the moment with some ready to start, but I'm not ready yet. I'm 50 so I cannot fathom 51 starts for my birthday this year. I was stitching "The Colors of Spring" by Historische Stickmuster as I watched. Happy New Year!

    I just found your channel today. It came up on my feed and am just floored at how organized and focused you are on camera and with all your beautiful projects. Your fabric choices are just down right amazing. I can’t believe you’ve only been stitching for 6 months?!😮😮. I can’t wait to see more. Oh! On the one where your using the coastal fabric and you were debating whether to continue it or not. I think you should finish out the 4th motif and just frame those 4 and ditch the rest .

    Yay, WIP parade. X)
    If you decide to have a give away for Nevermore or other wips, I am in. :) I don't mind working on something already started. Before Flosstube (and the enabling) I tended to buy looks-complete-kits from thriftstores. The patterns aren't always anything I will keep after doing them, but hey, it is a cheap way to enjoy this hobby.
    Enjoyment is the important thing.
    If you are unhappy with the Summer quaker, restart it. Maybe do one or two more small things on your current work and cut out what you done, make a big bookmark or small picture with it. And then find a fabric and floss combo you enjoy better.
    Lovely fabric for the Dark queen. I am halfway through part 3 and need to get back to it myself.

    loved your parade and. your projects. I too am working on the Rosewood Manor Quakers - I'm doing Autumn and then hopefully Winter because I loved the colors. I didn't like using 3 strands, so I used 2 on the 28 ct. or maybe I'm working on 32 ct, can't remember. Not fond of the called for threads, but too invested to change now. So try using two - the 3rd strand I use when I have a small area and don't care if I have a variation showing.

    ❤Hi Brijn! Love your channel. I wanted to comment on Summer Quaker-it’s gorgeous, so don’t abandon it. Instead, try a different needle. Try a 26 count if you usually use a 28. I like Bohin for these threads because they seem a little sturdier. Pull a length off the Valdani ball and fold it over the eye of the needle, using the eye of the needle to make a sharp crease. Pinch it tightly between your fingers. You should easily be able to push the needles eye over that sharp crease in the thread. Don’t use just one ply of the thread (you’ll get to do that on Winter Quaker to your hearts content!). There may be other stitches on the pattern that will only require one ply and you want that texture difference. All of mine are on 32 ct and the Valdani works fine with that count. Give the bigger eye needle a chance and see if that doesn’t make your stitching life easier! ❤

    • @TheMuseumStitcher
      @TheMuseumStitcher  Рік тому

      Oh thanks for the suggestion, but I'm already using a 26 large eyed needle on that one! The needle threads fine, I just don't like the feeling of stitching with that thick of thread and getting it to lay right! I'm still marinating on how I'll change things around with that piece, but I really do appreciate the suggestion!

    When working on line you need to remember that your first stitch needs Tobe positioned right to start. You need to find the vertical thread that crosses over a horizontal thread, start on the bottom left. You only need to do this on the first stitch. No more having the stitch move behind.

    Have you considered using 2 of the vandani threads instead of three. You would still have enough yardage, and you might be able to match the variegation. Depends on how it's dyed. I'm not sure if you could tell the difference on your project. Try it and see what you think. But my opinion is stitch what you love.
