If I can add another helpful tip -- if you make a jump, I always anchor my thread with a neighboring stich to make my square look even, then I make the jump. I also, ALWAYS anchor my thread through stiches along the back, trying not to expose the colored thread through the fabric of unstitched areas. Hope this helps as well! :-) Happy Stitching!
I have been stitching 32 years and didn't realise this! Now my stitching looks so much neater thank you 😊
Ok...this is the most absolutely perfect cross stitch i have EVER SEEN. You have now given me something to strive for. THANK YOU! ❤❤❤
Incredibly useful! These are the kinds of tips I'm always looking for but never find. This will take my cross stitch to the next level. Love advancing my skills. Thank you! Please post more tutorials!
Thanks for this, you showed it really clearly !!! Definitely gonna keep this in mind for my next project.
Ok, and NOW I know why my stitches look uneven even with railroading. Thanks!
Very useful! Just the kind of intermediate technique I was looking for.
Super simple tips yet so helpful. Thanks!
Your stitches are so nice and neat. Very crisp looking.
Would be better to show on a more contrast colour thread to the fabric.
Thank you for this video!! I’m brand new to cross stitching and this was super helpful!
Your stitches are so beautiful😍

Good tip.
Super helpful
I'm too stupid for this, but useful information none-the-less
Thank you so much for your info. I’m sorryasked you a stupid question. I thought I was on a different video.
How do you keep your stitches so smooth and even??
My biggest problem is getting my stitches to lay even. I find some of them look like they're higher than others
Thank you! I'm doing a pattern right now that has a lot of skipping around, and couldnt figure out why my stitches look stretched in a weird direction.
🤔I HAVE A QUESTION 🙋🏼♀️ I SAW YOU COME UP THE TOP OF TGE LEFT OF TGE SQUARE AND THRN GO TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT??? I GO BOTTOM LEFT TO TOP RIGHT THEN BOTTOM RIGHT TO TOP LEFT IS THIS IN CORRECT?? Thanks for any advice or a video link would be okay too…
Thank you very helpful to know I’m a hide the thread cut and move to next one Although I’m still new to cross stitching and have done this when there’s only a color left a few stitches over haha 😂
Hi; just now seeing your comment. I also go from bottom left to top right, then bottom right to top left. Either way though, as long as you are consistent and always cross with the same direction on top, your stitches will look even and uniform. If you're talking about the part at 2:56, I explain why I did in from the top right instead. The part at the very end where I go from top left to bottom right is actually the second stitch of that cross; unfortunately the grey color blends in really well with the fabric so you can't tell that's the top thread/second half of the cross.
You're not lazy.
How many stands do you use for cross stitching?
It depends on what count fabric you are stitching on; I typically use 2 stands on 16 or 18 count, and either 2 or 3 strands on 14 count, depending if I want a lighter or fuller look. On this video, I am using 2 strands on 14 count.

Won’t the thread eventually come loose from jumping so far between stitches?
Not with counted cross stitch; the work gets its stability from the fabric itself. With needlepoint, the direction of the stitching on the back matters more.
@@GameCrafts hello! what's the difference between counted cross stitch and needlepoint? sorry, i'm a beginner 😅
@@alexisx4368 Needlepoint is typically done with yarn, and the front looks like just diagonal slashes instead of an "x" for each stitch. But it isn't the same as just doing half of the cross stitch; you can google "tent stitch" to see the difference in technique. You make more of a "z" shape on the back side with that style of stitching, and in cross stitching, your back would look like just vertical lines if you do everything properly for a solid color block.
You're not really supposed jump more than 4-5 stitches away. If you do, you increase your chances of your fabric puckering when you frame. If you keep your fabric really tight in your hoop or frame, you lessen the chances of puckering, though.
What is the name of your pattern?
It's from the book Mother and Baby Animals: smile.amazon.com/Mother-Baby-Animals-Cross-Stitch/dp/0715329901
Thank u!
