One Month Challenge completed and tips on stitching Dimensions charts
Oh... if you're looking for bigger scroll frames, try Needle Needs. It's in the UK and the millennium frames are awesome. They also make smaller side stretchers, so you don't have to reach up high. 🪡🇳🇱🌷
I think that you'll be in a stitch along with almost every chart. You just are not aware of who else is stitching it. However, you feel connected when you see fellow stitchers working on the same pattern. 🪡🇳🇱🌷
I always stitch while I listen and watch your videos. So it doesn't matter to me that you change things up. It is nice on occasion to have a wip update so we can see how far you have gotten along on things. Thanks for taking the time to share with us!
I am new to stitching. why do you only do half the x for crossstitch?
@katiehower733 it's often referred to as either tent or half stitch and is a variation technique that is popular within the flosstube community. Some do entire projects in tent and others might use partial half stitches or full cross . It's a preference thing at the end of the day. No wrong or right way to work your own projects.
Okay great. I have seen others do the half stitch as well and was a little confused. Thank you for letting me know
Love your projects and. Have one question. What does ASMR stand for?
Well, Google describes it better than I could: ASMR, or autonomous sensory meridian response, is a perceptual phenomenon that can cause a tingling or static-like sensation in the scalp, neck, or other parts of the body. It can be triggered by specific sounds, sights, or other stimuli, and some people describe it as a relaxing or calming experience.
When i was doing my investments into this lovely hobby i bought two lowery stands bc i knew i was going to only do large projects going forward and i wanted them stable on both sides. I do the "create your own patters" and their all 1200 stitches on the longest side with the shorter being about half that so i also got the widest scroll frames from omanik i could find that would fit 36" canvas on it so i would only have to fit in once every 10 years (i have 4 project planned this size and i'm almost 10% into my first one: 60K stitches). I am a monogamous stitcher and that 10 year timeline is being generous at 200 stitches a day.
It's always a sunny day when there is a Carla stitch with me.
I make my own Q snaps with 1 inch pvc plumbing pipe. Buy 4 90 degree angle pieces for the corners. Cut the pipe to fit the size you want. The Q snap clamps work on this as well. As soon as you said minis have tons of confetti I was about to buy a new HAED in a mini. Ty. Phew that was close
Thinking about it now I suppose that even if a mini has more confetti, its not going to equal the amount of time it will take to complete a large chart (multiple years.) Mini's can take less than a year if you're consistent maybe? I have finished two in a three year span so I guess it boils down to how we like to stitch and how quickly we want to stitch it.
I just love your voice it relaxes me just stitch what you like. I tend to watch full coverage people i couldn't cope with lots of small pieces and i am trying new ways to stitch my haeds instead of block to block although thats what i love.
I agree - the deadlines of stitchalongs takes some of my stitch bug away too
It doesn't matter if it's full coverage or not. We all come to listen to you and stitch with you. I'm working on poltergeist pirates from Glendon place.
I say stitch on whatever you feel like at the moment. I’ve tried rotations so many times, and it just doesn’t work for me. When I feel like I’m forced to stitch something, I don’t want to do it anymore. I enjoy all your SWM’s no matter what you are working on. Thank you for keeping me company 😊
I say go with the flow! I love listening to your conversations and watching your stitching! You are quite lovely! I was lucky enough to listen to your Mary Queen of Scots episodes. I would love any other history interests you may have!!
Thank you. I hope to record something historical based in the near future.
I love watching you stitch on different wips x
I don't think I'm alone in this-- SWM is where I get to know the person behind the camera and the stitching itself is largely irrelevant. Regular flosstube videos/ wip parades is where I want the variety to see progress and all the pretties!
I don't do SALs and I stopped joining challenges years ago. The moment I feel like I have to do something I don't want to do it anymore. It's a great way to kill my stitchy bug completely. I do still set goals for myself, but I'm perfectly fine with not reaching them, that's the only way I can do it. It helps with motivating me to pick up a project more often without feeling like I have to do this or that. About what projects you stitch in videos, I'm one of those who love seeing a piece grow over time and I don't care if you switch between projects or only show one for months. The only thing I'm not a big fan of is constant new starts. It's more fun to see people add to an existing image, like in this video, than doing the first 100 stitches that look like nothing over and over again. But a new start now and then is of course fun too when you get to share the excitement it brings. In the end, I think doing what you want to do is the way to go. We're here to follow you and your stitching journey, whatever path it takes.
River walk charm looks fabulous. I have always stitched one full coverage at a time. I have just finished my last one so taking the plunge and starting 4 to do on a rotation not sure if I will be able to do it,but going to give it a go. I enjoy your stitchy chat and really don’t mind what you stitch on
I've come to the conclusion that SALs aren't for me. I did look at the HAED SAL, but the only one I liked was Astrology Cat, which I already had the full version of. I did join the Cross Stitch Studio Mystery SAL but that lasted about a month as the colours were not to my taste. I'm having a bit of stitch envy when watching RUclipsrs who do 7000 -12000 stitches a week or over 25000 stitches a month, and I can't get near those figures 😢.
Wow... I would imagine that kind of achievement would only be possible if you were either a) retired , or b) working a lot in block colour sections! Impressive though. 😊
This one and your cat one and your harbor one the best but anyone i would be happy with anyone but I missed seeing this one
To be honest I dont stitch full coverage but I do enjoy listening to you while I stitch. I always say just stitch what you want. Take care.
Are you still working on Fairy Whispers?? You inspired me to start it 😊 love your swm's, you must stitch on whatever makes you happy !!
Oh my goodness, that chart is so wow. I couldn't get on with the fabric i used, and its on time out, with a possible future re-start! I totally still love it though. ! :)
I think you should stitch on whatever one you're feeling at the moment. I just love watching your videos and stitching along with you. 💕
I am the same with stitching systems... I like diagonals, they really suit me but sometimes I feel I am bored and need a change, so I do a little bit of cross country or blocks or whatever only to return to diagonals again - but hey, it's quite fun to put things back into diagonal and sooo satisfying :) As for what you should stitch - you know that if you don't like stitching something it's no use doing it so I guess you should stitch whatever you want. I personally like variety and I don't like looking at one thing for a long time. You might even try the wheel for what to stitch or what goal to put on it - for example 500, 1000 or 1500 stitches. Like this you don't have a fixed rotation and things might be more fun.
Love your SWMs. No matter what you're working on. I'm stitching all the greens today too 😂
So happy to see your video post today! I enjoy stitching with you, no matter what you are working on. You should stitch on what makes you happy! I am trying specific projects on Monday and Fridays, and then whatever I want on the other 5 days! I enjoy stitching with you because it's like stitching with a friend! Also, your full coverage pieces are inspiring. I just put a HAED in permanent timeout. But I am going to start another one soon. Needed a break. I need some finishes too. And I need to get my 14 WIPs completed by the end of the year (we shall see). In the meantime, I get more patterns and kit them up!!!! I love scroll frames and qsnaps. I tried stitching in hand - NOPE. I love my Lowery stand too. Gotta have lots of options when stitching!
Great swm as always, so love them❤. I think you should stitch on what makes you happy. I was stitching along on my Daydream by Heather Edwards charted by pfc. I'm doing it for my Granddaughter Kaci who's 18th is next September. I'm at 52.51% complete. Thanks for sharing. Take care and happy stitching. 😊
I love your videos so much ❤ I also have a dilemma what to stitch, whether to make progress to show on my RUclips channel or just stitch what my heart calls for. My goal for next year is to have no goal at all to make stitching more relaxing. This year I went a bit mad (doing pieces that had deadlines on them) and I'm stressing about the hobby too much. As for the scroll frame, I was so confused about them until recently when I figured how to use them and now I love them! The biggest one I own is 57cm and it's from Luca-s available on Amazon. It won't fit a wide HAED lengthwise but you can stitch sidewise (I posted some photos on your discord lately because I was having some struggles with my large piece). Looking forward to more of your videos ❤ love from Ireland, Caroline
Thanks Caroline, why not post a link to your you tube channel in Discord's #videoannouncements, be nice to see your projects. x
@@TheStitchyWitch thank you my dear, I can do that 😊 Although my flosstube is in Polish so people might not know what's going on 😂
@@lubiehaftowac Aw that's totally fine! I have given you the permissions to post anytime you feel like! x
@@TheStitchyWitch you're so kind, thank you ❤️
What count is your fabric please
25 count
😂 you’re husband is very observant and smart. We are to close to the trees(stitching) to see our Forrest (posture)😊
❤ I’m watching and it doesn’t matter which project you are working on. What’s important to me is a soothing voice which you do have. I watch so many different floss tubers that if you work on the same one or a different it won’t matter. Your conversation is like you are keeping me company while I stitch. So please stitch on what makes you happy 😊. Because then you are happy. That spins into great conversation for us to listen to while we are here with you. 😊
I feel the exact same way as you! You put it into words better than I could ever do. Thank you!
@@laurensalviani6484 you’re most welcome and thank you 😊
I prefer paper charts for the same reasons you don’t like them and more. In contrast, I do like watching stitch with me videos where people split screen with their tablet so we can watch them marking of and highlighting their progress as they go along though.
I discovered your channel today after researching some info on how to stitch large full coverage pieces. My one was slowly defeating me because of how much confetti there was. I see yours isn't much better and you gave me the motivation to keep going! It felt like stitching with a company of a good friend. Thank you so much xx Greetings from Ireland, Caroline x
What count is your fabric thank you
25 count evenweave
Thank you for your wonderful videos. I love watching you x❤
I also love to read and I prefer to read a “real book” rather than an book, but books are definitely more convenient. Especially when travelling.
Thank you for another stitch with me. I love them! ❤️ ❤
I’m a diamond painter and just found you and think you are great! Love your voice and listening to you while I diamond paint.
Hello and thank you so much! 😊
HI! Thanks for posting another great Stitch with Me. I so enjoy stitching with you. As for rotation.. I don't really have one, but trying to do one this month with 4 projects and one being a focus piece with sewing on a quilt on Saturdays and stitching smalls (pillows from Primrose Cottage) on Sundays. Put my second attempt at All Good Dogs go to Heaven in time out. I think I will start The Library of Dogs. I love lots of colors. Yep, going to try to learn how to park though! I have 16 WIPs and really need to finish them... LOL! Take care until next time
Is one of your old WIPs Sister Moon? I had thought you did a stitch with me once in which you were working on that, but when I checked today, I couldn't find it. I might be blind! I was just thinking about it because I started Sister Moon this year and I am really loving it.
Working on Lady of the Rhine today. I always love the way your diagonal looks. And the colors in this one are beautiful.
Love this pattern and you stitch it so beautifully. Nice to catch up with you! ❤🪡
Thank you for this stitch with me. I love that pattern and can’t wait to start it next year
I went back to this because I’m struggling with the confetti of another Afremov piece. I just finished 1% of the chart and decided to switch from full cross 1x1 to tent stitch 2x1.
Have you ever tried CXC threads? The coverage is amazing, it's super soft, colorfast, and costs a lot less than DMC
I have and sadly didn't get on with them that well.
I love this chart. I switch up my rotation every two months. I’m doing I chart per week for 7 weeks. I have 7 WIPS. Last week of 8 is the one closest to a finish. Then I have two months to figure out the next rotation.
WOW. You are making so much progress on this. I would go ahead and complete the whole design, rather than just half of it.
I think Happy Village is my new favorite. Sad Fairy is a special favorite too.
It seems that you start your stitch from the bottom usually. But sometimes you start from the top. Why do you do some from the top?
Some like to mix it up. I know I've tried other ways of starting and stitching on my wips. Not all are started the same.
Sorry I wasn’t clear. I meant the actual stitches. Normally bottom left to top right but occasionally it’s top right to bottom left.
@kpkoors9385 I switch the way due to the weave of fabric to stop slippage and think if am stitching from like right to left. Not sure why others may do this.
I find it makes it neater at the back, but doesn't always work out, also depending on where im parking next.
