ABOUT ME:
Thanks for visiting my channel, I hope you enjoyed the video! I founded Caterpillar Cross Stitch in 2015 when I tried desperately for months to find a modern baby sampler my mum could stitch for new baby Felicity that would fit in with her simple, contemporary nursery. I love cross stitch, running, baking fruit cakes, drinking gin, eating salted caramel ice cream and most crafts!
See you soon and happy stitching! Sally x

I keep thinking - surely there's nothing else I can do differently when cross stitching - and then you make another video! Thanks for this one - the method for starting with an odd number of threads was REALLy useful!
Thanks for being here and watching!
You are so welcome!
I always learn something new when I watch Caterpillar. It is my go-to for how to!
They are the best!
Oh wow that modified loop is brilliant - confetti stitches will be much easier now!
So amazing for confetti stitches!! 😊
Thank you for watching!
I watched your TicToc video a few months ago to learn how to do the loop start with odd number of threads. I had to watch it multiple times as the video and instructions was very fast. However, I mastered the technique and my project turned out great!
It was nice seeing the method for odd numbers in a loop start again, at a slower pace😊
Glad to hear it's been working out for you, and I agree, it's nice being able to slow down in long-form videos and have a chance to talk through the techniques in more detail! Thank you for watching both there and here 🤗
Thank you for watching!
I thought I didn’t need to watch a “beginner” video but I learned some great tips. Thanks!
Thank you for watching and so happy to hear you were able to learn something new 🥰
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi, I never knew this loop start method for odd threads, it's brill! I will definitely use that in my cross stitching from now on, thanks 😊
It's such a great method to have on hand when you can't use a standard loop start!
I like having all these methods in one video and explained so clearly . . . thank you!
Thank you for watching! We're happy to hear that this has helped!
Starting the loop method from the front?! Why have I never thought of that! 😄
I love using stands to hold my frames so I constantly find myself searching for any and all methods that allow me to start or end my floss from the front!
Thank you so much for your super explanations. Really helpful. ❤
Thank you for watching and happy stitching!
I'm so glad!
I really appreciate the video. I actually learned a few new tips and tricks. I've never used knots on the back;: it will keep your fini see h project from lying flat in the frame. Thanks again for the tips!
Thank you for watching! So happy I could pass along some tips and tricks 🥰
Wonderful!
That is really helpful. I always wonder how to make the'waste knot'. And you explain that so simple. Thank you so much 😊
So happy to hear you found it helpful! Thank you for watching 🥰
Glad it was helpful!
This is SUCH a helpful video! The waste knot and front loop start have been game changers for me since I took up cross stitching again after putting it aside over 30 years ago before there were videos available for tips and tricks. You demonstrated all of the methods so beautifully, and I must tell you that your background is AMAZING! Is it a print of some sort, or did you make it yourself?
It looks like a peg board, but not sure what was used for thread. That was the first thing I noticed too.
Thank you so much for watching! The background is a pegboard wall that I painted white and then used black paint for the X's. I followed a pattern but modified it quite a bit for the look I was going for - it was a labor of love but I was so happy with how it turned out!! 💜
That was the most awesome flosstube instructional one I have ever seen❤
This is going into my SAVE pile!
Thank you so much!
So happy to hear you enjoyed it!
Great demo, so clear.
Thank you for watching!
Oh found you! I was watching your youtube for new videos. 😊
Thank you :)
Very interesting. Some new ways that I am going to try. Thank you
You’re welcome 😊
Super helpful, thank you!!
Glad you found it helpful, thank you for watching!
You're so welcome!
Thank you for sharing these. X
Thank you for watching!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've never heard about the waste knot. Interesting idea! Excellent video!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you so much for watching and so happy to hear you learned something new!
Thank you for your answer. I go back and forth and I really can’t decide if I should railroad or not. It takes me so much longer.
Thanks for watching!
On the pin stitch method, why did you railroad the last cross but not the others?
We’ll find out for you ❤
No specific reason, just a habit of stitching 🥰 I find as soon as my thread starts to twist at all I'll start railroading stitches without thinking about it!
Hi, thanks for sharing this, it's incredibly useful 😊 Can I ask - did you railroad just the last stitch in the final example - where you made the 2nd leg over the pin stitch?
Yes but not for any particular reason! It's just habit and wanting to make sure the stitch laid nice and straight over the pin stitch 😊 Whenever I stitch with two strands I tend to railroad the top half of my stitches, but it's not a 100% type of thing. Hope that makes sense!!
Thank you for teaching me the Diagonal pin stitch it will make my back so much cleaner, do you have a video for ways to end a stitch too?
Thanks - we're glad this helped!
