Excellent tutorial. I really appreciated that you started at the very beginning and followed through to the trimming of the fabric. Too many tutorials only show the stitch. If you're unfamiliar with a particular stitch and they are not showing the start and the ending it can leave you feeling frustrated as sometimes those two points can make all the difference in being successful or failing. Thank you for taking the time to video and upload this tutorial.
Thank you for sharing your seemingly endless wealth of cross stitch knowledge! You explain and demonstrate everything so well, that even a relatively novice stitcher like myself can easily understand. Please keep sharing!
Thank you so much. One of my secret goals is to de-mystify needlework!
This is the clearest tutorial I have seen on the nun stitch. Thank you for finally helping me understand the rhythm 😊
I'm so glad!
What a beautiful finished edge. I am so glad that I can add this stitch to my list of new stitches learned. It is a fun stitch. Thank you for the tutorial of the “Nun” stitch! I always enjoy you soothing voice and precise instructions.🧵🪡💕
You are so welcome!
Thank you for teaching me the nun stitch.
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you Jean, I learn so much with your videos and the nuns stitch is no exception. You are an amazing teacher and show us every step of the way. I appreciate the fact that you demonstrate the stitch to us more than once or twice so that we really understand it. This stitch will be so useful as I am making my students bookmarks as gifts and I have been thinking about how to finish the edges , so thank you. Stay safe and well, from a snowy UK
You are so welcome!
As always your demonstration is so clear and you talk us through the stitch while showing us how to execute the stitch!! Thank you. I know I will definitely be using this stitch often.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for an excellent tutorial
Thank you for your informative videos. I look forward,to them every week.
Glad you like them!
The nun stitch is a beautiful stitch. Definitely adding it to my list of favorites.
Wonderful!
Nun stitch gives such a lovely finished edge. Thank you for sharing. 🌺
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you for the excellent tutorial on the nun stitch. I see how that stitch can be used for many projects! 🤗
It really is a workhorse!
The few times I have come across the Nun Stitch, I approach it with dread. Your video was so clear and easy to follow, I am looking forward to trying it again. Thank you, Jean!
You are so welcome!
Great video. Loved it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge on stitching.
You are so welcome!
I never miss one of your videos since finding them. I watch primarily for your great tutorials. I happen to have the Linen Stitches spiral book by Ginnie Thompson from 1987 I was teaching myself....thank you your time doing the videos.
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks Jean for another great tutorial. The Nun Stitch would be very useful in finishing some projects in the future. It will make some of my stitched pieces look neat and tidy when I put them in an album.
Guess what? I've finally started a project on linen! After a few pieces done on evenweave, I made the leap and joined the likes of yourself. I am finding it very enjoyable and that's thanks to your continued teachings every week. I find that, as you say, you begin at the vertical thread the rest will be easy. I seem to see the next holes my needle should go through easily enough. Thanks for the lessons and the encouragement, I truly appreciate it 🌺🌹🌷
Wonderful! This news makes my heart happy!
I learn so much....thanks for sharing....I always have to stop stitching and watch you whole video....take care and be safe
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for another great lesson. Saturday stitching. The best.
Thanks for watching!
Congratulations to the winners!
The Nun stitch is a lovely finishing edge. Thank you for teaching it to us, i have a few things to try it on for a border.
You’re welcome 😊
I have a couple comments about your previous episodes. First...thanks so much for the pep talk regarding stitch count and “ you can do it”. Secondly...thanks for the excellent content and clear explanations..I am having so much fun!
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!
You are a great teacher. I enjoy watching your videos because I walk away with a new technique. I also went into the bowels of my settings on RUclips and I think I changed my privacy settings.
Thanks!
🤗 Thank you Jean! Take care.
You too!
Another fabulous tutorial. This stitch looks like it will be really useful. Thank you so much.
It's a real workhorse of a stitch!
Thank you Jean another excellent video!!
You are so welcome!
Looking forward to Roxie! Cannot wait to receive my package once it is shipped!
Lots of excitement in the air!
Another great video. I love the history you share on these different stitches. It adds so much meaning to this stitching obsession of mine. I just received my supplies for Jean Hattersley. I am looking forward to stitching this sampler. I ordered my supplies from the Stitch Point on Friendly. Excellent service. I hope to pay a visit to this shop in the future.
I'm happy to hear that you had a good experience at Stitch Point ... that's my local shop!
I am learning so much from you, Thank you!! Stay safe yourself
Thanks, you too!
Love your tutorials👍🏻👍🏻 Thank you.
Glad you like them!
Thank you for this demo. Wonderful!
My pleasure!
Thank you so much, love this stitch!
Glad you like it!
Your tutorials are the best!! I’m so glad you are sharing on UTube! 🤗
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the video. Enjoyed the nuns stitch, I’m sure I’ll be using it in the future.
Good to know!
Great video. I did the nun stitch years ago and found the instruction great. Seeing you stitch it is better than just following stitch numbers like I did before.
Glad it was helpful!
I am from South Africa. I enjoy your RUclips presentation the information you share with us is usefull. Thankyou . I admire all the samplers you’ve made. I am already 62, on pension, can start fullsteam and work towards your expertise. Keep doing your programs. I learn a lot.
What a beautiful needle case. At one of your early Spirit of Cross Stitch Festivals in Sacramento, I took a classs from Ginnie Thompson. It was a bookmark using the Nun stitch. What a wonderful woman. I still have the bookmark and those cherished memories.
She was a gracious and generous teacher!
Thank you. As always you are clear in your instructions. When I haven’t done a particular stitch in some time I need a ‘refresher’. Your ‘Nun’s Stitch’ Tutorial is perfect for this! Thank you for mentioning Ginnie Thompson. I never got to meet her but a lady who I knew took many classes from her. She in turn encouraged me to stitch on linen. With her encouragement I started stitching on linen. Now I find linen to be my preferred fabric for stitching!
Thank you Jean - exactly what I needed for the Dec 1 project I'm starting.
Wonderful!
Thank you Jean. I am newly returned to this wonderful world of cross stitching and am so very happy to have found your floss tube channel.
I enjoy your quiet , thoughtful manner and have learned so much from your excellent lessons. This Nun’s stitch will work very well for a small project
that needs a finished edge ( will need to practise first !)
I am so happy on the nun stitch tutorial...thank you so much...we get smarter every time we watch one of your tutorials❤️
Happy to help!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am newly back to counted thread work after 30 years and looking for finishing techniques that are as stylish and intricate as the work itself. Binge watching your videos has given me a fantastic foundation. Thank you for your time and teachings. 💕💐
Great tutorial, thanks!❤️
Glad it was helpful!
I learn so much from you. Thanks for the Nun's stitch tutorial.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for remembering Ginnie Thompson. I still am hoarding many skeins of her flower thread...guess it is time to find a project to use them. She instilled the love of cross stitching in me many years ago.
She was a remarkable woman!
A beautiful tutorial, Jean - what an admirable and generous teacher you are - thank you!
You're very welcome!
I look forward to your Saturday video all week! I learn so much from you and thoroughly enjoy the visit. Thank you for the wonderful tutorial on The Nun's Stitch.
I'm so glad!
Beautiful Stitching, Jean. Nun Stitch tutorial is wonderful. Thank you so much for todays visit .
Thank you too!
Jean, thank you so much for the Nun's stitch tutorial. I wish I had this video prior to finishing two bookmarks I made for Christmas gifts. They called for Nun's stitch on the borders for both. For the life of me, I could not figure out how to do it, so left it out! You have made it so easy!! Thank you. I agree with previous subscriber, there should be more instruction on flosstubes instead of just what everyone has purchased and hauled in!!
Now you'll know how to do it the next time around :)
Thank you for a refresher on the nun's stitch. Excited for the start of Roxie and Jane.
You are so welcome!
Thanks for the tutorial. The Nun’s Stitch does look like a practical stitch. I always learn a lot from you!
It's a real workhorse of a stitch!
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial! I have always wanted to learn the nun stitch and the hem stitch. I love the story about the name of the nun stitch, too.
You are so welcome!
Jean, I have been a private subscriber of your channel as well as many others for a long while. I enjoy your videos and also like to see others, however, the idea of forcing people to ‘publicly subscribe’ to have a chance to win etc has bothered me for quite some time - most things on social media nowadays are about profiling and marketing, manipulating revenue by drawing advertisers etc. I am also intrigued by how many people have jumped on to flosstube , everyone is a designer, everyone is getting freebies to give away from the same shops, everyone insists that they are just sharing ... what started out as a fun way to share and interlink the cross stitch community is now becoming a ‘job’ it seems for many to continue to buy so they can show their ‘ haul’, WIPs and FFOs ... refinement or advancing skills are rarely seen. I have privately subscribed to your channel since the beginning, and enjoy your videos. I don’t participate in the giveaways because I prefer to keep my preferences to myself if for no other reason than the main one - we don’t really know how the data is being used or by whom.
Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing your views.
Thanks so much Jean, worked the Nun's Stitch around a small motif for a greetings card. I used the DMC thread in a colour used in the motif. Doubled it up and was able to start with the loop stitch. Very quick and easy. Hope you're well - you haven't posted for a while.
Once again, thanks so much for sharing this tutorial! You are so generous to teach us all these wonderful stitch techniques. I can't wait to use it on a project I'm working on.
You are so welcome!
Thanks again.
My pleasure!
Thank you again Jean. Love that Nuns stitch.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this tutorial, I have a needle book that I will finish this way, although I will be doing a practice square! LOL Your tutorials are very well done and easy to understand, you are a wonderful teacher. Thank you so much for all that you give to us each time you video. Stay safe and well, stitch everything you love.
You are so welcome!
Loved the photo of the floss! It looks great!!
Thanks so much 😊
Wow thank you 😊 for the Nun stitch 💙 now I know how I will finish my Christmas 🎄 ornaments
Thank you Jean for this easy to follow tutorial. Kudos.
I’ve just used your tutorial for my first attempt at nun’s stitch. Clear instructions as always. Thank you.
Wonderful!
I always learn so much from you. I had never even heard of a nun stitch before, but it is definitely a beautiful edging stitch. A little piece of advice, look in your camera when you set it up for close up stitching. Most of it was filmed in a corner and some of it was off camera.
That being said, I still loved the video and am so happy to learn a new stitch. Thank you. 😃😃
I struggle with that all. the. time. Yes, when I look at the "camera" (my phone) I can see whether I am on camera or not but I can't watch that and watch what I am stitching at the same time. I have tried stitching by just watching the camera's view but then the quality of my stitching suffers. I'm aware of the issue and am doing my best to find a way to solve the problem.
Great tutorial! Thank you!! I took a class years ago at a Spirit of Cross Stitch with Catherine Theron. It was a Stitchers Chatelane. The edge was stitched using the Nuns Stitch. I started cutting and thought I had made a mistake so I put it away. Now after seeing your tutorial, I think that I didn't cut it close enough. I have to find it and see if I did it right after all! 😊
I hope so!
Thank you for showing the photos of the floss for the Roxie project...wow! I’m very excited to receive my kit in the near future. I also enjoyed your nun stitch tutorial. I have been doing nun stitch for many years as part of finishing “table toppers” designed by Dutch Treat Designs.
Now to tackle that pile!
Fantastic stitch for my future bookmakers I make. After I run out of my stash of pre-made book markers I can finish the raw edges using the nun stitch. Thank you
Sounds great!
Thank you so much for this tutorial, Jean. I have completed several vintage embroidered table runners (dresser scarves) and had no idea how the edges were meant to be finished (they are on linen fabrics). I know what my Sunday stitching will be this week! I can hardly wait to get to them now. Blessings to you.
Enjoy!
Love the nun stitch and I am very anxious to try it! Thank you again.
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you so much enjoyed learning this stitch. I hope you have a needle case on your esty site. Thanks Ann
Not yet!
Hi and thank you for sharing so much of your expertise and advice with us all. Best wishes from England U.K
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. It's a magic stitch. Can't wait to use it!
Wonderful!
What a great tutorial Jean! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
AWESOME!! Thanks so much for the tutorial..it was GREAT!!! And now..I know what I'll be making for gifts for all my reading pals!
Great!
Jean - thank you so much for the great tutorial! I love that nun stitch and am going to give it a try on my next appropriate piece. Thanks again.
You are so welcome!
thank you so much for this tutorial Jean, I've been working on a cross stitch sampler book here in the uk and was following a printed pattern where I had no idea what the stitch was, I have never come across it before, you have been so much help, thank you x
The name is an "Americanism" of a classic stitch so it doesn't surprise me that you have not heard of the Nun's Stitch in the UK. :)
@@JeanFarishNeedleworks that makes so much sense now, thank you :)
Love the tutorial. I will definitely use this to finish some of my work! Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Thanks so much. I've been wanting to learn some edging stitches.
I'm happy to help!
I got the Roxie chart and have ordered the floss from a Canadian needlework shop. I am happy to try the cosmo thread that you love. I have tons of fabric so I will use some of that for the ground.
Please let me know which shop in Canada carries the Cosmo floss. I'd like to share the information with others!
Thank you ! Good tutorial on this stitch (that I had never heard of before).
Glad it was helpful!
I go to pick up my kit tomorrow at Stitch Point in Greensboro, NC .,I’m excited to start.❤️
Wonderful!
I’m excited for Roxie to start-I’ve got her all kitted up! Looking at options for Jane Hattersley from my stash-thinking about making my own overdyes conversion. 😊
That sounds great!
Can you do a video on how to cut fabric? I'd love to learn how to do it, as it would save me money buying stuff in bulk.
I'm not sure what you are asking. Can you tell me more?
I know linen has to be cut a certain way. A video showing that process would be useful.
Love this stitch!
Me too!
Thanks for the great tutorial!
You're very welcome!
Thank you so very much for yet teaching another wonderful stitch. I'm sure I will be using this stitch l lot. Big hugs
That's good to know!
💛💛💛
Nun’s stitch demystified- thank you
You're welcome!
Thank you for the tutorial!
My pleasure!
Another wonderful video. I always learn so much. I looked on your website for the Nun stitch chart and couldn't find it. Obviously I didn't search in the right place. Could I please ask where that is? CAN HARDLY WAIT till Rosie comes.. so excited.. 🙋♀️
You didn't miss it ... I got behind in my tasks packing up Roxie kits today.
Thank you for nun stitch tutorial. I always love listening to. Will there be conversion for using comes vs DMC ?
Cosmo
I try to add a DMC conversion to my charts. I'm not sure which one you are asking about.
Jane Hattersley
Thank you for the tutorial. I learn so much from your videos. Could you show a closer shot of which thread you pulled before cutting. It was somewhat off screen when you started pulling, so it wasn't clear to me the relation of the thread you pulled to the stitching.
Sorry about that. It's the thread right next to the outside edge of the stitches.
Just stumbled upon your videos recently. I find them very useful and I have learned a few new things even as a seasoned stitcher.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and love of Cross Stitch. I am curious if the design you used for demonstration is available for
purchase?
No, it's reserved as a teaching project.
14:17 Note to self…. Start of the nun stitch
This was an excellent tutorial. I was even able to figure out how to do it left handed. My problem is, I can’t seem to find where to place my stitches. My row keeps moving up and down. I tried many different weights of thread and I even tried pulling a thread to help but it still didn’t work. I’ve tried both linen and Aida. I was able to get it to work on Aida only when I did over 2 threads. Does this sound like I’m doing something wrong? Any ideas? I really want to make this stitch work. Thank you!
Thank you! 👌🏼
You're welcome!
ThAnk you for the wonderful lesson. Would a lefty do the horizontal stitches going the opposite direction?
Great video. Do you know how DMC perle cotton 12 compares to Valdani perle cotton 12?
Should be the same weight. The thread industry follows standards on weight and ply.
Do you have a pattern for that little needle book that you taught in the 2018 Cruise. That is something I would love to stitch.
Right now, that's a "teaching project" which is unpublished.
Hi thank you I love your videos I’m learning so much from you I was wondering if you have designed a friend sampler or if you know of a good one please I live in England and my friend lives in Canada thank you again caz x
Just a quick question, does the nun stitch have to be done with perle cotton no. 12? Also, if anyone is looking for the Cosmo floss, my local quilt shop, Quilting Bits & Pieces in Eudora, KS has the full line.
Good question! Because it is a pulled thread stitch, it needs to be done with a sturdy thread. For example, a single strand of floss would be too weak. So two strands of floss could be used, or a linen thread, or flower thread.
Is there a list showing what is in each flosstube? I've been looking for making the floss jig video and l cannot find it, even though l do watch and re-watch your flosstube videos!
I thought about doing this after the 20th episode and I finally started with #32. I think I need to ask for volunteers to create them so I can share them with everyone :)
