- Welcome to my channel, this is floss tube number 3.

I am a new cross stitcher. I am amazed at your projects😮… I don’t know if I’ll ever be in your league, but I am enjoying the simple I am doing so much! I’m enjoying your channel too.
It's all about one stitch at a time no matter what project you're working on. What WIPs do you have?
I love that you bought that pattern because it reminded you of Parks & Rec. I can totally see it 🤣
Happy Birthday to your nephew!
Tiny stitching - if you wear glasses, try "Magni-Clips", if you do not wear glasses, try readers for magnification 🙂
Have fun with King George III!
Thanks for the suggestion! I may need to give that a try.
Hi, Yoshi. Love your videos and yes your puppy. I too am a huge fan of the British Royals. I live in Canada and of course we are part of the Commonwealth which I love. I would love to find and stitch Anne Boleyn, Queen Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots. Can’t wait to see your king pieces. And Kate Middleton. Happy stitching💕💕👍👍👍
I have a picture of Queen Victoria and Queen Anne that I am planning to get charted one day. It's very similar to the ones that I showed of the kings.
A cheap way to get a pattern produced is to submit an image to thread bare. It'll cost about $10 if you go that route.
@@TheCrossStitchGuy ok cool. Thanks
Try a magnify lamp. I can't sew without. Love your work.
Thanks for the recommendation. You're the first one to mention a magnifying lamp.
You just started the dragon piece! If you have enough fabric, pick out the stitches you did then stitch 2 over 2. Don't strain your eyes!
The fabric is just a little small for the project size to do 2 over 2. We are literally talking about 2 inches here.
So glad I found you! I just posted my first flosstube and I love to find new stitchers!
I just watched your video! Welcome to the flosstube community.
@@TheCrossStitchGuy Thank you so much!
If you use reading glasses already, then for stitching use ones that are a little stronger. That has worked wonders for me. I also added a little light that clips on my stitching frame, or one that loops around my neck and can be pointed directly where I"m stitching. That's especially helpful for stitching light colors on a light fabric. Thanks for sharing your stitching journey with us!
Is there a specific name for the light that goes around the neck? I may need to try that.
@@TheCrossStitchGuyThey are called LED Neck Reading Lights. I found my at Herrschners. But I'm sure Amazon has them too.
@@elizabethhinton9728 thank you, I managed to find them on Amazon. They aren't that expensive either.
Hello Yoshi I am working on stitching shelves and so is CZook she has a RUclips channel. Enjoyed your video. Happy stitching.
How far along are you with your shelf? I'll definitely check out CZook!
Hello! I’m excited to see your progress on these wonderful projects. You might enjoy 2 over 1 tent/half stitch on your 28ct. Several Flosstubers and the Facebook group Full Coverage Fanatics have used it successfully. Meanwhile, take care of your eyes with good lighting and possibly magnification. The eye strain and headaches will shorten your precious stitching time!
I advise do a restart on the dragon with a lower fabric count. You don’t want a love/hate relationship with your WIP. You want to be able to get excited and not dread because of the fabric count. So yeah, redo on a lower fabric count 😊
Thanks for the advice! Before I restart the piece I'm trying to find out if the floss and fabric colour is the issue or is it the 1 over 1.
I love Andrew Russell! Thanks for the update looking forward to your next video.
Loving the patterns, cant wait to see the lotrs 😁 im on flosstube for about a year, cant wait to see more of your videos 😁
Hello Yoshi I have completed the first page but have put it down as I am stitching a large Bristol Sampler and The Red House sampler another large piece. When Woking white on white over one frame up really tight and work with a gold needle that is my method. Happy stitching
Red House samplers look lovely. Which one are you stitching?
Happy stitching to you too!
I find for me, I love stitching on 25 ct and 40 ct but I cannot if I don't have great lighting.
Hello, new sub here, it's so nice to see some male stitchers. And yes I have a channel, started in October it's called A Random Stitcher, I'm from Denmark so my English is hmmm poor 😂 With a new channel, I'm still in the start up process and getting routines going etc. Its so fun! Your projects are very beautiful ❤
Your English is way better than my Danish so no need to apologise. I will definitely be stopping by on your channel. While it's not Denmark I did get to spend 2-3 months in Norway so I have a love for the Scandinavian countries.
Hello! Just found you and like you, I have a love of full coverage. I mainly work on one at a time though. It was a great video. Subscribed!
Another great update. I use a lighted magnifying lamp when I stitch, it helps a lot. Dogs/cats/kids just want to be involved, too. My cats almost always join me in some fashion when I zoom stitch with friends. Collecting projects is part of the hobby and means you have something new to stitch when needed.
💜💜💜
Hi Yoshi! It’s so nice to meet you. I found you from the might watch lists. I watched all 3 of your episodes. Your work is inspiring. I have not done any full coverage pieces yet. Right now I am down the rabbit hole of samplers. I have been cross stitching since the seventies. I love your dogs, the black lab is dear to my heart and the chihuahua is the cutest. The other, Emily? Looks like a rottie. So beautiful. As for your eyes, you should magnify the stitches. So either get yourself a lamp with a magnifier, or if you want to go cheaper buy some cheaters glasses. You can start with 1.25 or 1.5. I have gotten mine from Michaels, Joann’s, Amazon. I usually spend no more than $4. Just don’t go to a drugstore. Anyway love your work and welcome to the club of having a bazillion wips! 😂
Thank you for leaving this message. Glad that you enjoyed the videos. I lean more toward full coverages, but you bet that there will be a day when I will stitch a sampler. What projects are you working on? Also, thanks for the recommendation on the glasses.
You are a new find for me!❤
Magnifying glasses will help you for dragon
Great projects! Love the Royal Family especially Princess Kate.
Hi, beautiful projects and nice floss tube. thank you very much. greetings from frankfurt/ germany ✨
Yay! Now I'm all caught up with your flosstubes, and goodness, you have a lot of huge WIPs 😂 I came across Andy Russell designs a few months ago and am pretty sure I want to stitch one but can't decide which one, and I usually only have one huge full coverage at a time. I really love the one you got though 😍
I was glad that I found Andy Russell's artwork on HAED. His artwork is very beautiful. I cannot imagine only working on one full coverage. There would be so many other pieces calling out to me.
Now I want to stitch on the kings from golden kite 🙃
I do too 😭 trying my best not to start them.
@@TheCrossStitchGuy you should start them so that I can live through your progress 🤣
@@BlancheMoon59 don't encourage me lol. Is there one that you like more?
Hi Yoshi! RUclips failed to tell me you had a new video! Andrew the Runner Stitcher saved the day, letting us know you had a new one out! LOL. I loved both your new videos - I’m kind of enjoying seeing these pictures slowly come to life. Very intrigued to see the Lord of the Rings piece emerge! Keep up the great videos!
Good on Andrew for saving the day! Thanks for stopping by and for showing interest in the Lord of the Rings piece. I'll make sure to put a good amount of stitches in him next month just so you can see it come together.
I love that you bought that pattern because it's violent and messy. Too funny. Love seeing all your projects.
I don't know any other reason why someone would buy it 😆
Great variety of projects. Could you please show a picture of of the project you’re working on?
Love all your starts and progress! What an interesting job you have. Wild times we live in! ❤❤
Hi Yoshi! Just found your flosstube and enjoyed watching and went and watched all 3 so I was caught up. Love watching full coverage pieces but I just don’t do them yet. I and friend have a crafting podcast here with lots of cross stitching and knitting and many other things at times-Got Stitches Flosstube look forward to seeing the next one!
Thank you for watching all three videos. You should totally attempt a full coverage one day. I'll stop by yalls flosstube channel.
Hi Yoshi - nice to 'meet' you😀 Enjoyed seeing your WiPs and new charts - nice variety there for you. Looking forward to seeing more of your progress soon
Loved your floss tube keep up the great stitching ❤
Hello Yoshi I am working the 1818 English Red House Sampler on 40 count raw linen and DMC floss
love all the full coverage you're starting!
also - try a pair of cheapo glasses a point or so above your vision level, or a pair of Eyemags for that 28count - it really helps me to see the smaller counts, especially the white on white
Thank you, I also love your full coverages. I watched your wip parade a few days ago and I love how you only do full coverages. Also thanks for the advice on the glasses/Eyemags. I'll definitely be purchasing a pair to test it out.
oh wow, that sounds like such an interesting job. How fun.
Great update! I also loved the new pattern of the king with the white clothes/shadows/epic stance ha. That one is great! You've made some good progress! Also Lilly is definitely not a race lol. Yours looks great!
Love your videos and THANK YOU so much for the shout out. That was so nice of you. I had to laugh at the older woman comment….yes, I’ve gotten old…LOL!!!!
One day I'll be older and I can only hope that my pattern collection will match what you have. I truly enjoyed watching your videos. I'm invested!
Hi! Fot your 1 over 1, get yourself some Mag eyes you won't be sorry.
I also like Golden Kite. I have one pattern that I’m stitching from them, at the moment. Are you stitching a standard with blended colors or solid colors? They have a beautiful LOTR FOTR pattern it’s “Home In the Mountains” there’s a SAL going on with Suki the brown eyed stitcher. If you’re not watching her already on Flosstube.
What pattern are you stitching on? All the Golden Kite patterns that I have are blended. Yes, I have seen some of Suki's videos. I know which piece you're talking about. It is a beautiful one indeed!
I’m working on a pattern from Catherine Klein. She was a very big artist that I collect for my extensive collection of postcards. I haven’t looked in my collection to see if I actually have that design or not, but had to get it. Golden Kite only has one of her designs. I wish there was more.
@@carylminard448 the only pattern that I see from her is the apple one. Her artwork looks like a lot of nature (plants) still life.
Hi Yoshi - who on Etsy was selling the LOTR pattern? It is hard to find it when we cannot go to the direct pattern home. You could try wearing magnification for the Dragon stitch.
Had to do some digging, but it was a user who went by the name of CrossStitchMPatterns. As of right now they are not currently selling on Etsy.
Hi Yoshi, thanks - I will keep the info and try every once in a while to see if they reactivate.@@TheCrossStitchGuy
Hi Yoshi, I found the you via Andrew and I am a fellow flosstuber. I have also just the first Mira Sal with dress maker’s daughter although slow progress at the moment but I am going to turn it into a seasonal stitch. How much white is in the 28 count project? If there is a lot you could swap to a cream/Ivory 28 count Brittany evenweave by Zweigart or a Patel colour. I hear that good lighting and magnification works too but also my eyes have also adjusted over time to smaller counts. Have you watched the Crown? I’m not a big full coverage stitcher but look forward to seeing your progress. Nat
Nice of you to join the SAL. I believe I may have seen a picture on IG that you posted around January of your mirabilia. I'm not sure how much white is involved. As of right now it is just making the border/outline to the design. I watched the first season of the Crown and a few episodes for season 2.

Hi there. I came over after a mention from Andrew's vids, which I also just found. I love your conversion of Lady in the Woods. I stitch on pretty much every count my fav being 18ct. I use a natural light lamp with a magnifying glass when stitching on those higher counts. It really helps. Are your Golden Kites charted with blended threads? Love your wips. Looking forward to March progress x
18 ct is becoming a favourite of mine! All of my Golden Kite patterns are charted with blended threads.
