Wonderful video, I always find them interesting and informative. The Millennium frame looks amazing! I use a frame but it is a very cheap and poorly made one. I hope someday to upgrade. I love that I am not the only one to use a dish towel over my work when I’m not stitching. People think it is silly but it keeps dirt and dust off and it is easy to clean. I like to keep things simple. Thank you for the fantastic ideas and all the beautiful samplers.
I love your youtube videos. I purchased several Millennium frames after watching your earlier videos from a few years ago. I am the proud owner of three Necessaire stands (two for me and one for my mom). I keep one stand at home and one stand at our place at the beach. I transport my stitching on the frames easily when traveling back and forth. Thank you so much for the reviews, they were a tremendous help in my decision making when determining which stand I wanted to invest in.
Love your videos. I watched the new samplers today and just watched this one!! Loved the tools to use and went off to check my smallest bar size for the Little Wizard....I use my 8-10 in stretchers the most but after just looking my smallest bars are 12 ins. but that will stitch work for some smalls maybe. Thanks so much always. Shelia Jones (This will probably go in as under Roger's name, It's fine so I just don't sweat the small stuff!).
Thank-you Nicola for another enjoyable video. I love the lamp-I need to check that out, as I am using an old Dazor magnifying lamp that I have used for many years. It is pretty good, but I would love to be able to change out the magnifying discs. Thanks for sharing your tools. Pam in Alabama
Thank you Nicola for sharing your stitching tools. Its always interesting and educational to see what sister stitchers find useful. I have used the Legacy Linens for a few years after reading a review by Mary Corbett. The are wonderful to work with. Plump threads, but still with good definition of the holes. In Canada they are available through Traditional Stitches online or in their shop in Calgary. Thanks again.
Thanks for showing us your stitching necessities. You've certainly given me a lot to look at and drool over. Well, maybe not drool, but certainly envy!
Hi Nicola... Thank you for sharing your stitchy tools with us... I have a very old magnifier /lamp it is black and it is a day light bulb. can't remember the name of it. the base is very very heavy.. I call it my antique lamp as I have had it for many years. this one stays at my dining room table as I also use it for when I am Parching and doing all the cut work with teeny wee scissors...... D.S. bought me an led floor lamp/ magnifier for the living room I do use the magnifier on this too for my stitching this comes with me when we go to cottages on our holidays... I also have a floor lamp behind my couch too that shines over my shoulder for the winter months.. I have bought the Halo to take with me when we go to hotels... I would'nt use a seam ripper too frightened I would rip my linen. your lamp looks fabuluss ... Happy stitching.
I've had a similar problem with a portable lamp, so I use a piece of masking or electrical tape over the switch in the off position before putting it in a bag, then it won't accidentally be switched on. Thank you for the fun and informative video!
Thank you for sharing your information with us; so helpful! I recently bought a Sharkhead Mighty Bright that clips onto my hoop. Mine also has the tiny screws in it but if you push on the section with the arrow on it and slide it in the direction away from the screws the top will come off and you have access to the batteries without removing the screws. I hope this helps. I love your idea about how you use your Roulet scissors at the beginning and ending of a project. I only have one pair but I would love to use them in this way as they are so magnificent!! I also have a Millenium frame that is loaded with my Chatelaine; love it. Happy stitching and creating. P.S. I truly love your new pattern, Martha James, and can't wait to order it with fabric and threads!
Always a delight listening to you Nicola as I stitch, enjoyed your share.... I stitch in hand.... however I’m really considering an attempt with frame, I needlepointed for yrs, than Crewel, so I did use frames, I’m comfortable in hand but my wrists are beginning to cause pain, My Dr. Says it’s my grip :-) Caio Blessings to you & yours 🐕😘🎶🎶💛
Thanks for the info. I have a nice daylight lamp but I would like to know more about your little swing arm. That would be really great for 1over 1 stitching.
Fantastic video, thank you so much for sharing. I noticed you didn't mention a laying tool. Do you ever feel the need to use one when stitching with 2 strands or more? 😊
Nicola Parkman of Hands Across the Sea Samplers OK, great. I will test out a few strengths but gives me a starting point to go up or down depending on my eyeballs. 😂😂😂. Thanks a bunch Nicola! 😘
I am fairly new to your floss tube so I saw a an older one and you had dark hair. I asked who that was. I’m sorry now I know it was you Nicola. Was not trying to be rude.
Nicola, thank you for sharing your stitching "bits and bobs" with us. Fascinating and very informative! Routinely, I enjoy your videos.
Such an enjoyable video. Thank you.

Thank you another great video! Also thank you for taking time to explain what your tools are for cross stitching.
Thanks for sharing your tools with us. I have an older version of the hammerhead light, and the back pops off with a sliding motion.
Thank you so much for that video so interesting to see what helpful tools you have...the seagulls where an added bonus! 🤗

Nice video love the lamp information
Hi Nicola, wonderful information. Thank you

So very helpful Nicola! Thank you. I am considering a millenium frame!
Sorry I forgot to put who I was looking for it was Jean who you got your glasses from so you could see 46 count fabric thank you x
It is the Attic Needleworks. You will need to email them as they do not have an online store.
@@nicolaparkman Thank you for the info hun I will look for their email address. Cheers xx
Thank you ❣️
Fantastic video, thank you so much for sharing. I noticed you didn't mention a laying tool. Do you ever feel the need to use one when stitching with 2 strands or more? 😊
Try putting the scissors on the needle keeper.
Love your videos. U r right must be very careful with ripper.
Hi thank you for a great video but can you give me the link, if you have one as I can’t find them online. Thank you x
What is the length of your medium side bars?
Love your video with tools you like!! Is the light by daylight? I'm searching for light and stand
That was great 👍🏽
What strength glasses were the ones you used for 46 ?
I use 2.5 for 46ct and 3.0 for 56ct but our eyes are all very different.
Can you tell us the strength of the readers you use on the 46 & 56ct fabrics, ie: 2.75, 3.25 etc?
3's but we are require different strengths.
Nicola Parkman of Hands Across the Sea Samplers OK, great. I will test out a few strengths but gives me a starting point to go up or down depending on my eyeballs. 😂😂😂. Thanks a bunch Nicola! 😘
What is the brand name of the small clip on light?
A mighty bright
I laugh because my scissors are in the same dark hole lol
I am fairly new to your floss tube so I saw a an older one and you had dark hair. I asked who that was. I’m sorry now I know it was you Nicola. Was not trying to be rude.
