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

[@dfalco2138]

Exactly the tips I need! I haven’t cross-stitched since 1990 or so. And who knows if I did it “right?” But I didn’t have a pattern. I love the look of the beautiful designs out today. Thanks for all the tips. I can hardly wait to get started!

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

You are so welcome!

[@tinahatchman7380]

I’m a beginner. Can you do your patterns in black & white? I’ve bought the Christmas stitch-a-long. Im worried I can’t mark off the stitches as I go.

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

Hi Tina, thank you so much for watching 😊 our patterns come in both coloured symbols and black-and-white symbols in the same PDF (there are multiple pages in the PDF to make sure everyone can use pattern style that suits them the most). Hope this helps!
Hope you have fun stitching our Christmas stitch-a-long with us ☺️
Happy stitching 🌸
Marie

I have a photo frame of 10 pages cross sticth. How would you suggest me to start that? Also, I'm having trouble using multiple colours in that.

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

Thank you for watching!

[@bevpashka9461]

Can I still take part in the cross stitch school,, I am a little scared getting started 😅

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

Of course! :)

[@alisonbleiweiss1854]

I have never done this before

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

Thank you for watching!

[@wendyrossberg7576]

Can I still do the cross stitch school?

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

Of course!

[@Emberchariot]

My pattern distributor has decided to use some letters instead of numbers, 😅. How do I decipher this. There's no letters on the coloured threads, there's only numbers. Thank for the video.

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

I would contact the designer to ask them to explain.
Usually, the symbol on the chart would co-ordinate to symbol on the thread pack.

This is basically just an ad..
