I want to know everything especially how to read a pattern, how to count, and why is there so many different counts of fabrics. I'm new to this craft and ready to absorb all the knowledge I can. Thanks for the first step
I have to say this video is very timely considering i shifted my attention from diamond painting to cross stitching😍
I've played with diamond painting. Like it, a lot, but also want to cross stitch. I'd love to find a class, near me, for when we properly come out of lockdown
Thanks for teaching to the people who want to learn free of charge l am looking to know how to get the cross design from a picture or photo
I would love to learn about the different fabrics. You talk about the fabrics in your flosstube videos and I hear a foreign language. 😂
Id like to learn how to stitch on each one.
Could you do a tutorial on the pre stamped cross stitch??? I'm really curious on how to start them
This was very helpful. Could you talk about frogging and how to go about that in a video like this please
Cross stitch always seemed so intimidating because I thought there was lots of knots. This has inspired me to pull out an old kit!
Thank you Rachel. Yes please, definitely more.
Thank you Rachel for sharing this!
So happy to see this, would love to see more like this. I have just started to cross stitch again, I took about 15 years off from it. This is great to refresh my memory on how to do it. Thank you
OMG I’ve never seen the “lasso” method for starting a thread, I love it! Thanks for always teaching me something new! Hopefully there are more of these tutorials to come 😊
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I've been stitching for a couple months now and am always looking for different ways to do things. I'm looking forward to the next topics you decide to cover!
So very excited. I hope you do many many more of CS tutorials! About to start my very first. And it’s a HAED
Thank you for your excellent cross stitch class! You have such a pleasant voice too.
Thank you so much!
I use to cross stitch alot... But you still taught me some new things. Hopefully I can remember them if I get back into it. Thanks :)
So glad I watched this. Lasso need to try newbie and my kit has tons of colors.
Floss licker lol that's funny. 😉Thanks for the tutorial. 😉 I so want to cross stich.
I just started cross stitching, definitely gonna try that lasso method! Thanks for making this video :)
Thank you!!! I haven’t cross stitched since I was a kid and watched a couple other tutorials and thought I was misremembering. Why is no one making a lasso? Why is no one pulling the floss out to their elbow- this tutorial brought back so many good memories of me and my cousins cross stitching bookmarks. I’m excited to start again and feel more confident!
Yay! 😊 I hope to see your adventures in stitching!
This is perfect that you posted this because I just got into cross stitching as well!!
I bought two kits today from Dimensions. Can’t wait!
Great video! Clear, to the point and with no lengthy, unnecessary dialogue. 🙌🏾
Glad you liked it!
BEST video I’ve seen about cross stitching
Great video Rachael I’ve never seen that loop method to start a thread before very interesting, thank you stay safe love and hugs xx
Thank you, it is helpful for me
Thank you so much for showing this. I just got 2 small stamp cross stitch in to give it a try.
So happy I found your channel ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I really enjoyed your video! I would love to see your recommendations on dealing with confetti in a cross-stitch pattern
Thank you so much for this video! I have been looking at cross stitch patterns to get a sense of the craft and I’ve felt totally overwhelmed… this is such a helpful video!
You are so welcome!
Love your tutorial ❤️
Best video I’ve come across so far! Thank you!!❤
Thank you for the wonderful compliment! 💜
This was super helpful. I'm absolute beginner, just started on my second piece, so little bite size tidbits of information are awesome. I learned about the loop start but didn't realize I could start it from the front like you did, excited to try that!
Happy to help!
Thank you for the video! :D I'm thinking of starting to cross-stitch and this is gonna help me a lot! :D
Very nicely done 💜
Thank you very much it's the only cross stitch tutorial I have understood
Thank you for making this video🙂
Ohoh.... seems like another craft I really need to try 😅🥰
I do my "lasso" method a little differently than you do. I come up from the back and pull my thread most of the way through, then put my needle down my next hole and then take my needle and put it through the loop - Not that it's right or wrong - just different. Thread conditioner is something nice to have too in order to keep the thread from getting fuzzy. I lady I used to work with wrote her first cross stitch pattern book. It will release in September. I may try to get it. Thanks. Hugs.
A few things I'd like to learn are beaded cross stitch, the difference between the different kinds of floss and how to do French knots. I've never really figured those out and I avoid them.
I am new to your channel and cross stitch as well. I enjoyed watching and looking forward to more.
Hi Rachel! Thank you for this! I just started cross stitching my absolute beginner project in order to get the basics down before digging in on the Dark Queen SAL. The kit I’m working now has you stitching mini motifs all along the outside on white AIDA. Would greatly appreciate a tutorial on how to move around the cloth without having the colors showing through from the back side if possible. Also would love to understand the difference in materials as noted by Carla Lyon if possible. Thank you again! Love your vlogs!!!!
Hi Rachel!!! Thank you very much for sharing this! I am starting cross stitching again after many many years ago and it is really fun. I really learn new things with this video like how to start the pattern with out making a knot and how to finish it. Thank you for sharing. Will be ok if you explain the Fabrics I wanted to buy Dark Queen of the Seas but it got really confusing when I was looking into the fabrics, I am not sure what is what. Thank you for your help!
THANK YOU! I tried another tutorial but he showed how to cross stitch with the floss already separated! Thanks a ton!!!
Glad it helped!
So wonderfull crosstich miss
Thank you For the mini lesson. How did I never think to double over thread? It's been decades since last doing cross stitch but watching your floss tubes I've been thinking about picking it back up.
Very nice l just love it 😍
Thank u so much! I’m a beginner!
Yes, I like short videos so I don’t get overwhelmed with techniques. 😰 Also, I find it difficult reading the pattern and losing my place in what I’ve already done. Can you share tips on orderly pattern reading? 🙏🏽 (Also, I’m a total newb to cross stitch) 😬 I want to get good at it. I do other sewing crafts, so I am familiar with thread & needles and basic stuff like that.🙋🏽♀️ “Thread licker” here! Lol
Thank you for this very informative video. I am attempting to start my cross stitch journey. Have you got any tips on when you change colours in floss?
Awesomely video thank you, would like to know more about following pattern. Take care 💖😁
Hello I’m watching love your channel racheal. I can sew but I’ve always wanted to cross stitch but I’ve always knitted or coloured and now I do diamond painting. I don’t know when I can find time to cross stitch
I go bottom left to top right then I do bottom right to top left but that is just me
The loop method isn't bad on 14 count aida but if you go to 16 or 18 count the tread starts to fray. When manufacturing all the threads go in one direction. When you come back up using the loop method you are going against the lay of the thread and it can start to get fuzzy or frayed looking. Just learned this myself recently and now I can see the difference. My diamond painting has taken a back seat to one day a week. Love cross stitching so much as I can do it pretty much anywhere in the house except if I have fur babies on my lap. lol
I’ve been diamond painting and interested in cross stitching. It can be overwhelming on where to start. Any suggestions on a good kit for me to buy?
Good timing on this video! Wolfpack "enabled" me into a Supernatural SAL this week. Soo...yeah! Also, your method of separating threads is soo much easier than how I was trying to do it. So, my question is this...if you are using a combo of colors, say 2 colors (2 strands total), how would you start? Is there a way of starting the stitch without having to tie a knot in the thread (as I have been doing)?
Yes, I would recommend either a pin stitch or tucking the strands under 3 in the back, then going back through the third stitch again (in the back) to secure it.
Just bought a CS from the craft store here and I have no clue what I’m doing 🤣
I would like to know of the easiest kit and the basic most helpful materials to order to get me started. I would like to start on a very simple pattern. I have never been one who has found it easy to learn any type of needle craft. I do diamond painting for that reason, but I have always wanted to master some sort of needle craft that I can actually accomplish with very little frustration. As well, you mentioned purchasing some embroidery scissors. I would like to purchase some budget friendly items to get me started and I would also like a kit that uses one strand of the floss doubled like you used in the video. Thanks in advance Rachel.
Liked the way you started your thread. I have always threaded with 2 strands. Where do you get your needles
Hi Wilma, I get them from Needlework shops, online usually. 😊
Nice tutorial. I’d like to know how to follow a pattern. Thank you 😀
Also need any flower patterns for a clock simple not difficult thanks
Please help need to know hiw to do start cross stich fir a clock nit from the middle out middle it empty fir the hands please help
I want to know how can you switch colors
I have always wondered what the difference is bwtn cross stich & embroidery. Aren't they kinda the same thing? Do you only do cross stiches in cross stitch whereas embriodery is a lot of different stitches is that correct?
That's right!
When you fold over one strand is that considered like having two separate floss?
Yes!
It's soo good and helpful but we should always use the whole stitch or other ones like French stitch because I'm a beginner and I have no idea
With 14 count I can’t see the holes I have to use magnifying stand
Try a self thread needle :)
Did you have a pattern you can show us on screen , so you can show us where to find the starting spot on the pattern then show where to start on the fabric? I hope this makes sense.
I can do that but this was freehand 😊
I too am a floss licker.
You said you used 14ct. I am using an 11ct. What are the differences between counts?
The lower the count number, the bigger the stitch will be... I have another video in this playlist that might help!
Here is a cross stitch question... my current WIP calls for 3 strands of floss. So I pull out a length and separate them as usual. What’s your solution for the other 3-strand length that you’re not currently using? Do you add them to the bobbin of that color? I end up with these weird little “orphan” lengths floating around in my project bag! 😂😂
I wrap them back on the bobbin or (preferably) toss them in a flossaway bag so I don't have to wind and unwind a bajillion times!
@@RachelRaeCraft Thank you! I think it’s prob time I get some flossaway bags! Yesterday I was stitching near an open windows and my floss literally BLEW AWAY somewhere in my house because they were these little orphaned strands. I will find it like a tumbleweed later on. Lol!
This is an advanced question but I’ve yet to find the answer. So thought maybe someone will see and know...
RE: fractional stitches:
So symbols in a cross stitch box represent the thread to be used and type of stitch when referring to your chart. 1/2 & 1/4 stitches are represented by taking up that particular section of the box with the symbol. So let’s pretend yellow is symbol c and green symbol ♾. The box is left half c and right half ♾ - so that’s the fractional stitch you’d do.
What if box had 4 small c’s in each corner???
I have these on a current pattern and it’s driving me 😜 crazy to get the answer....
I believe that those would be petite stitches. On linen or evenweave it would mean four 1over1 stitches. On aida you'd have to split the middle of the aida thread in the middle. But basically you need four complete crosses in the same amount of space you'd normally have one cross.
@@danielleburwell320 🤗 🙏🏻 thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
This pattern has been hooped and my living room project for the longest time and I dunno why but my brain sets it down when I can’t figure something out and now I can move on!
Yes, those are likely petite stitches. It's easiest to do them on linen/evenweave. If you're using Aida you may want a sharp needle.
@@RachelRaeCraft the vickery kits come with aida- although very small weave for aida, I think it’s 28ct
But I normally work 2 over on linen- sooo yes indeed I’ll be using a sharps to create these little buggers! ;)
The threading with the first loop confuses me
but if u make only one wrong stitch u have to take them all out.
How does a beginner learn how to cross stitch a bookmark?
Really just the same 💜
My son bought me a cross stitch pattern for mothers day, and I wanted to get some tips, my daughter knows how to cross stitch
Can do better😢
thank u so much, i was struggling to find i easy to understand video
