Wow Jean, IMHO you have always been the voice of learning, assistance and support. I don’t think I have ever heard you be snobby. Your joy of stitching comes through, I appreciate all the knowledge that you share, thank you 🙏 💐🌹
You are gracious with your ideas and never make others feel inferior who stitch on Aida. I love stitching on linen but treasure a few samplers I stitched in the early eighties when only Aida was available. Our love of stitching is what is important and one should stitch on whatever makes them happy. Thank you for your flosstubes.
I have the 1996 Spirit of Cross-Stitch pin on my stitching tools bag. I only now made the connection of that logo to your chart! How fun. Your work is a classic in our wonderful world of cross-stitch. Thank you!
I always love watching your flosstubes! I remember the sampler from the Spirit of Cross Stitch Festival! I don’t find you as being snobbish about linen. I personally stitch on Aida, evenweave and linen. It depends on the piece I’m stitching what fabric I chose to stitch with. My personal favorite is evenweave because it’s what I enjoy the most. Just as linen is my daughter’s favorite to stitch on. Happy Stitching!
I started on Aida. then I found your flosstube and found my fear of stitching on linen was unfounded. You helped me to expand my stitching ability. I enjoy linen, even weave,and Aida. I never felt you were putting down Aida stitchers. I have the Hare and Rabbit pattern and hope to start it once I have finished the current sampler I am stitching.
Thank you Jean, if people find you judgemental, they should search their own beliefs and sad lack of confidence in their choices. You, and every other floss tubers are always so fair on what and how you present. I, like you am an older person and I find this constant negative attitude very baffling. We should be grateful for all of you for sharing their love, joy and expertise with us. Thank you again Jean
I didn't take those specific comments as being directed at me but I know the feelings are out there ... and, sadly, there *are* some shop owners and designers who really do ignore the Aida stitchers.
I agree with you, Jean, people need to be willing to try something different and/or new. Don't "assume" until you've tried it and not just for 10 or 15 minutes. I also think people can be too sensitive about the videos they're watching. Just because the Floss Tuber they are watching uses linen or even evenweave doesn't mean that they're telling "you" that you have to. I find Floss Tube a fun way to see patterns I may not have seen before, love watching a pattern I love grow as that person is stitching on it and still learn from fellow stitchers.
I feel like you've made your stance on aida clear, I've never gotten the impression that you look down on people who stitch on aida. In fact I've heard you say the opposite, that there is nothing wrong with stitching on aida, several times on your channel. I appreciate your videos and all the stitchy wisdom you share with us. 😊
Have you thought about converting your VHS tapes to videos to purchase? I would definitely be interested in these 😊. Your tapes were great but with the demise of VHS players, they became obsolete 😢
I have thought and thought and thought about it. The technology keeps changing. Maybe it's time to see what's involved at this point. There are some great projects in that set!
Thanks for the video visit. I'll be looking forward to seeing more videos for Sampler September. I am finishing up some smalls and doing the monthly release of two SALs I am in before I make a final decision on what sampler(s) I will be putting time in on the rest of the month.
Thank You for what you do for cross stitching. We have to be willing to try something new. With that being said if there’s no one to give good sound advice one is left to their own devices. Instructions and directions are important for a student to learn. Wondering about if you have help and instructions for new beginner linen stitchers. Anticipation!!!!!
I’ve been stitching for 27 years by myself. None of my family or friends stitch. And my LNS closed 4 years ago because the owner retired. You get used to stitching alone.
My first linen project was HARD - however I believe it was my fault - the project was way too big for a first learning project - a gazillion mistakes were made ( some were frogged some not) it was a 40 count fabric (not the best count to learn a new technique on) - I was very frustrated even after watching several RUclips videos - I swore I would never stitch on linen again! Ugh! But then I tried 28 count, 30 count and even 36 count - I have given myself time and experience to learn a new thing - I now love stitching on linen and the way a fully finished project looks on it - I still stitch on Aida also but I love the look of linen -

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and inspiration. I have only gotten positivity from you - and I really enjoy your videos.
Thank you!
Thank you for the video! Have a great couple of weeks! :) ❤

There are so many great channels out there with something for everyone!

Love your hair, I'm glad I could catch up to you.
Your stitching is exquisite. Have a great day.
Thank you! You too!
Thank you for another great video.
Wow, I never thought about using a color in different values to mimic variegated or gradation. Very cool idea! Thank you!
Let me know if you try it!
Today is my 72nd birthday. Thank you for this video.
Happy birthday!
I hope you have a wonderful day!
Happy Birthday!🎉🎂 Many blessings to you in this upcoming year.
Happy Birthday

@@JeanFarishNeedleworks There sure were! I hope you find that it can be done. Lots of us old timers would love to be able to see these videos!

Sounds like a good plan!

I need to find the time to make a good beginner video. Thanks for the encouragement!
I stitch on aida (16 or 18 count) because I like it and I don’t desire to try anything else.
I’ve been stitching for 27 years by myself. None of my family or friends stitch. And my LNS closed 4 years ago because the owner retired. You get used to stitching alone.
My first linen project was HARD - however I believe it was my fault - the project was way too big for a first learning project - a gazillion mistakes were made ( some were frogged some not) it was a 40 count fabric (not the best count to learn a new technique on) - I was very frustrated even after watching several RUclips videos - I swore I would never stitch on linen again!

Wow. I am impressed that you persevered on 40-count as a first ever linen project. You are a rock star!
The link to your Etsy shop isn't working for me. Love your video, and agree with stitch what you love, aida or linen.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll check on the link and get it to work!
@@JeanFarishNeedleworks The link has a few extra characters at the end that are causing the error.
Was that a thistle flower on top of the sampler you showed?
On The Hare & the Basket, it is commonly thought to be a carnation but I think it resembles a thistle, too!
How does flower thread differ from floche?
IDK. Good question!
