Just found your video - new subscriber and fellow flosstuber - I have never stitched a Dimensions Gold stocking. Yours is gorgeous!! I look forward to seeing your progress.🙃 Thank you for sharing how you started your project; it was very helpful. Happy stitching!!🪡💙
@@gemstonestitches7632 I do not have nearly as much stitching as you do! But I hope to change that in 2023 with lots of finishes. I have never stitched Hello by Liz Matthews and received three of her charts for Christmas so maybe one of those will be a new start soon. Have you stitched any of her designs??
Planning on stitching my first stocking this year. I'm sure that will be easy. It's the 2nd part I'm fretting as I don't really know h ow to sew lol! Thanks for sharing😎
Thank you @maureen8745 Good luck with your first stocking. You are so right, the cross stitching is the easy part. The finishing is nerve wracking. But you got this!! 💪🏻Happy stitching.
Hi there. Enjoying your video. Would you have a video or a link to another video that shows how to finish the stocking once the cross stitching is completed? I'm not a great sewer so stressing out a bit about that part of the process.
Thank you for subscribing. I’m the same about seeing! Look for channel Little Yellow House Crafts. It’s video number 7 for quilted stocking. That’s what I follow for every stocking. Let me know if you can’t find it and I’ll try to help more. You got this!!
Watched this video again and have another question (really enjoy your videos). New to cross stitching and doing my first project which is a stamped stocking. Nervous about doing a counting cross stitch as it looks hard. Any tips before I start?
Hi Kelly. I’m so excited that you are starting your first project. My advice would be to read the instructions carefully so you know how to start. Also, make sure to check how many strands of thread to work with. Sometimes different symbols can have different numbers of threads. Try to make sure you make your x’s the same every time. For example, top left of the square to bottom right, then the top leg is bottom left to top right. Take your time and enjoy. It’s a slow craft. We all make mistakes so try not to let that upset you if it happens. That’s all I can think of for now. What is the project you are working on?
@@gemstonestitches7632 Thanks so much for the tips, will definitely keep them close by when I start. I bought this same stocking kit that you have in your video.
You are welcome. Knowing it helped at least one person makes it worth it! Since we can't do the loop start for blends, I tuck the thread under other stitches in the back to secure the threads. If there aren't stitches to put the thread under, I use my fingers to hold onto the tail in the back and stitch over the tail to secure the thread. Hope that helps. Happy stitching!
I’m about to start one. I have never done a stocking before. I feel very intimidated lol
I understand. Did several 40 years ago...Can't remember how I got started!

Thankyou for this video it was really helpful ❤ can I ask, how do you do your blended threads. For dimensions kits? Xxx
