Priscilla and Chelsea, I have watched this stitching in hand video several times. Thank you SO MUCH for making it. I was looking for the sewing method, in hand, completing each x fully before moving on. I just started Afternoon in New York, and it is going super fast for me. I know that video was tough to shoot. Thank you for the time you both spent on it!
Whoa, whoa, whoa there! Mind blown! So a friend taught me to stitch (in hand) over twenty years ago and I picked it back up after watching you guys BUT she never showed me this! I always go over and under and have to reach under the fabric for each stitch. Mind blown!
You both did an excellent job...I learned and so appreciate your efforts. Please stop feeling that what you do isn’t good enough...YOUR WRONG! By sharing how you stitch is helping myself and others. I may watch many Flosstubers but there are only a few who are generous enough to share their skills. Thank you!
Thank you for the great video! I have always used a hoop or scroll frame and struggled with trying to hold them and never found a stand that I liked. I am now convinced that stitching in hand is the way to go...I tried it on some scrap cloth and love it! Thanx!
love in hand stitching! i have arthritis and trying to hold a hoop is way beyond what i can do. thank heavens i learned in hand first. great video-keep 'em coming :)
Thank you so much for sharing your stitching techniques! I have been watching your videos after being a cross stitcher many years ago and picking it back up again. Mostly I quilt now but love my cross stitch again. I just could not get the sewing method in my head so this was very helpful! You are both such an inspiration!! Thank you again!!
Always love all your videos but this one I have long been waiting for. As a new stitcher I really appreciate this tutorial. Everything was so clear and after playing back a gazillion times in slow mo I think I can say I’ve got it! It really makes stitching for me not only faster but so much more enjoyable! Thank you both for your commitment to your viewers and being so willing to share all the wonderful ways you do life! You inspire me so much and thanks again!💗
So now I understand stitching in hand! I can see that this method is much faster than the traditional way. I may have to try it! Thanks, and your video is fine!
I am so glad you showed us how you stitch! I can get so caught up in trying to follow the "rules" that I forget that this hobby is for MY pleasure. The way you stitch is relaxed and pleasurable. Thank you!
Now I understand how you ladies are able to get so much stitching done so quickly! I will definitely have to try out this method. Thanks for the video!
Great video! I hadn’t ever heard of stitching in hand until I started watching you guys. It is so much more enjoyable and natural. Thanks for doing this video.
Thank you both for this video. I can now see how fast you both stitch. I may be very slow at in-hand stitching, but I am inspired to keep at it after seeing this video. Thank you 😊
Excellent video. And, such a fast stitching method. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you! You two must have run out for a quick manicure....your hands and nails look pretty! 😻
Excellent stitching in hand video!! I do stitch in hand and your video has given me some excellent pointers that will help me stitch faster. Loved the singing in the background!! Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to make this video for us ladies. Happy stitching, Lynn
Your way of stitching is interesting. Now I see how you stitch so fast. I’m not sure if I can do it but will sure give it a try. Thanks for sharing. Loved your musical background.
The sewing method is so intriguing! It does seem a lot faster once you figure it out but I am not sure I could get the hang of it. I will have to try it on an ornament or something to see! Ronnie is such a good little supervisor :) Thanks for sharing this! - Laura
Awesome tutorial!! Thank you ladies for taking the time to make this video (over and over and over again). Hugs to sweet Cash for his accompaniment to your tutorial!
Hi! Thanks for the video, I also always stitch in hand, even on the very large Ceiling of the Sistine Chapel piece I'm working on. It's nice to see the different ways people stitch. Your video was fine, it's real life and I've stitched with babies, cats and dogs on my lap too. Usually not all at the same time, LOL!!!
I'm happy with my own two-handed poking technique but have been trying to get my head around the sewing method and this was truly perfect and showed exactly what I wanted to see, Thanks!!
Thank you! I can do the sewing method horizontally just fine but I was having trouble with vertical stitches. This helped me a lot!! Have a blessed day.
That’s exactly how I do the sewing method and have never seen anyone else stitch from corner to corner like I do...I feel so much better! A lot of the videos I’ve seen take a stitch straight up and down and I just couldn’t get the hang of that so I just started making the cross and it works for me. I do go from bottom right to upper left first but it’s still the same technique! Thanks for confirming that what I was doing was ‘normal’!
OMG!!!! The stitching with Ronnie snuggling is the best!!!! This is how my pups are, right up against me when I’m trying to stitch!!!! The video was AWESOME, thanks as always for sharing!!!💕💕
Interesting. I am left handed and have been stitching in hand since 1988. Always vertically. I love how you did it horizontally. I will have to try that. Thanks so much for sharing
THANK YOU! I use a Q-Snap but want to learn. I’m also a ‘fuss-budget’ and my backs are great, according to what my Mom said as I showed her my first piece. That was such high praise for me as a young stitcher. So I guess I’ve continued. BUT, I’m 76 and have more patterns than I will ever have time to complete! But bending a little and learning how to be not so rigid in my stitching. The both of you look like you’re having more fun and enjoyment than I am. Something will give on my part. 😊 Many, many thanks for the time you have taken to film this. T’was a beaut! Singing included! Love and hugs.
You can do this with q snaps as well,i do it sometimes depending on the size of the project i'm working on.Just leave your fabric a little loose in the snaps.
ok I am so glad I am doing it right lol . I do it exactly like you guys do I am so glad , there are not too many videos out there on stitching in had , of course you are a lot faster than me , I used to use a hoop back in the day. I bought q snaps I can't stand them . I love stitching in hand way better . less to carry around and zip lock bags for my projects I have been using them for everything for years =) thanks for the video . much appreciated . I can't get enough of you guys . hugs and kisses Jo
Thanks P&C! Could go right to left, but couldn’t figure out left to right, now I know! Glad to know someone else has a stitching Jack in their chair while stitching! I have two, one at my side and one in my lap! Always putting white hairs out of my thread! 😂 Cash your gonna get a recording contract with that beautiful singing! 😊
Thank you for taking the time to show how to stitch in hand. I learned awhile back from a stitcher in Russia. I don’t speak Russian so I had to just watch and study her movements. I got it down. It was very kind of you to explain what you were doing and how. The technique I use is only a little different but nothing that makes a difference in the result.
I'm so glad you guys showed it this way- because I had tried it so many times- with no luck.. I stitch one x at a time- and nobody ever really showed it done- that way..... It was only shown doing one leg at a time- then going back- and that is not how I "think"... lol... Love this.. Thank you both soooo much for sharing soooo much... xoxo Niki
Thank you for showing us how you stitch, I’ve never seen that method before, it seems so fast compared to the way I do it!!, I’ll definitely be having a go at this, thanks again xx
Thank you for this! My hands fatigue fast and now I know I am gripping my fabric and the needle too hard. Your hands look pretty relaxed. Thank you for sharing!
So fun to finally see you ladies stitching ! I stitch the same way and it goes so much faster and much easier in my wrists since I don't have to hold a frame. 👍😘
Thanks so much! I stitch my X's going the opposite way...going from the right hand corner of the square to the upper left, then my cross over thread is from the left lower corner going to the right. I didn't realize I was stitching the opposite of everyone else until I saw a diagram on FB...LOL! I have tried to correct it but after almost 35 years of stitching...it's a hard habit to break! Love watching stitchers stitch!
Thank you so much for the tutorial. It was especially nice to get to see Ronnie sitting up there with Priscilla. My Rosebud (miniature Dachshund) sits with me while I stitch also. And sweet Cash singing in the background. :)
thank you for sharing, it's nice to see new types of stitching, I always did stitch in hoop, but lately I see i get more done just in hand. In my next video I'll try to show the 2 forms I stitch also.
Thank you for the video. I stitch them in hand using the sewing method. I learned from the you tube video that Kitten Stitcher produced. You gals gave me a new way to go vertically that I think I will use from now on. I think that it is nice that you two have a shared hobby. Blessings! Oh, Cash is adorable!
I have been using the sewing method and love it!! I was going every which way but thank you for the detailed example!! Enjoyed Cash singing to us, so cute!! Elisa
Wow! U guys stitch sooo fast!!! Im a slow stitcher and i use the railroad technique so very slow but i love the way it looks, no wonder u get so many projects finished, i tried the sewing method but i couldnt get on with it but admire people that can, i love how ronnie sits with precilla while u stitch and love that cash has found his voice x
Wow, you can stitch much faster your way of stitching in hand. I stitch with a q-snap and i have to poke and stab which i now see is a much slower way of stitching. I must try the sewing method tonight.. Thanks for taking the time to demonstrate your method. (I love how Ronnie sits with you as you stitch)
Okay, my mind is blown. I had NO IDEA it was done this way! No wonder I got so frustrated when I tried! I’ll be practicing on scrap fabric for sure. Thanks, y’all!
You two got me to stop using hoops months ago and start sewing in hand. I will never go back. I stitch like you only left handed. Thanks for the video.😊
I'm going to try this on an ornament stitch and see how it goes. You make it go so much faster. Your nails look great by the way. Great video guys and thank you.
Wow!!! You guys just blew my mind!!! I didn't know stitching could be done like this. I could definitely see myself using this method, especially when stitching up and down. Thanks for the video! Love Cash's talking. I miss the sweet babbling. Now I just get grouchy grunts😁
The video that the whole world has been waiting on!!!! Great job! I stitch in hand quite a bit but usually sew in rows of 1/2 stitched legs and then back again.... but same general idea
Thank you! I have been looking forward to seeing your method since I often stitch without a hoop especially on small projects. I have always stitched as usual but may give the sewing method a try.
Loved the musical background to this video! I've watched this twice....how you stitch is fascinating to me and I'm going to try your method on my next small project. I agree...there is no stitchers police that will pop out and nab you for doing something different. Do what you like, how you're comfortable! Thanks so much for sharing...... Until next time.....
Oh really. Wow. I will have to watch it again. I stitch vertically too to bottom needle in fabric to right of the block to make the bottom cross / then top to bottom on left side of the block to make the top cross \. Hope that makes sense and I work left to right. That is how I was taught. My second piece was a large pieces by Paula Vaughan on linen. Still one of my favorites.
Thanks so much for doing this! I have done it a little differently in the more than 40 years I have been stitching, but I think I'll give this a try. Your stitching looks great, and like you're enjoying it, too. I love the background singing, also the canine companionship :).
Thanks for the tutorial. I find it interesting to see how others stitch. As you said, whatever works for the stitcher is okay. You both run you needle horizintally, whereas I run it vertically. I use the sewing method and stitch in hand for Monaco and Aida. I stitch in a Qsnap or hoop when using linen. I use different types of fabric depending up the "formality" of the piece. In the 1960's my great-aunt taught me to cross stitch on stamped table linens where you had to have the back very neat because someone might turn the placemat or napkin over and see it. When my sister got me into counted cross stitch in the 1980's, I continued to stitch the way my aunt had taught me keeping the back as neat as possible.
Loved getting to see how you ladies stitch! It’s fascinating and so quick!!! I want to give it a go for one of my smaller pieces that don’t fit as well on the qsnap! I would love love love to see a finishing video as well! Great job
Thank you! I really need to try this method because it looks much more relaxing than me trying to balance my q-snap. Love Cash in the background...I miss those gurgle-days!
Now I know how you get projects done so quickly. Going through the top of the fabric like that is much faster. Thanks for the video. I see Ronnie got in the picture
This is awesome! I’ve actually never seen the sewing method this close up before. And admittedly I never thought it was like this in my head lol. I use the stab method with a Q snap. Thanks for taking the time to film the video! You ladies did a fantastic job showing us 💕-Jen
Thank u both so very much!! That was such a helpful video. No wonder u get so much done , you both are so FAST!! I loved the video because it’s how our life’s really are, dog 🐕 in our lap, baby’s talking, I will take your videos any day over someone who try’s to stage it so perfect. Love u both and always so greatful for the time you put into these.
I am just learning the "sewing" method of stitching and I love it! So much faster and I'm able to maintain a decent tension throughout. Priscilla, I was absolutely floored when I saw your ring! I have the exact same one!!. Really flashy, huh? LOLOL I've got that typical magpie mentality. Chase after anything shiny!! Thank you, ladies, for yet again another worthy video. Oh, and thanks to Cash for his singing accompaniment in the background!
I appreciate your taking the time to explain this to us. The stitching is soooo rapid. I am going to break out some Aida and practice! Love the background entertainment, totally love the special sons effects.
Priscilla and Chelsea, I have watched this stitching in hand video several times. Thank you SO MUCH for making it. I was looking for the sewing method, in hand, completing each x fully before moving on. I just started Afternoon in New York, and it is going super fast for me. I know that video was tough to shoot.

Love real life stitching. Thank you both so much for being so giving with your time to share with us. We all appreciate it so very much!
Whoa, whoa, whoa there! Mind blown! So a friend taught me to stitch (in hand) over twenty years ago and I picked it back up after watching you guys BUT she never showed me this! I always go over and under and have to reach under the fabric for each stitch. Mind blown!
This is awesome, I have never seen this and I have been stitching for over 40 years and WOW! I do stitch in hand always have!
Wow! Watching you two stitch in hand makes me want to go back to it. I forgot how much faster it is. Thank you for showing this. You both did great!
You both did an excellent job...I learned and so appreciate your efforts. Please stop feeling that what you do isn’t good enough...YOUR WRONG! By sharing how you stitch is helping myself and others. I may watch many Flosstubers but there are only a few who are generous enough to share their skills. Thank you!
Wow! Speed stitching!! You guys not only stitch beautifully but FAST!!! 💃🏻
Thank you for showing how you can cross stitch by hand. It was very good. Thank you for your taking time to show us.
Thank you for the great video! I have always used a hoop or scroll frame and struggled with trying to hold them and never found a stand that I liked. I am now convinced that stitching in hand is the way to go...I tried it on some scrap cloth and love it! Thanx!
love in hand stitching! i have arthritis and trying to hold a hoop is way beyond what i can do. thank heavens i learned in hand first. great video-keep 'em coming :)

Thank you girls, Cash and Ronnie for taking the time to show us your method. I'm going to try it, it looks faster than the stabbing method.
Excellent video on showing hand stitching and the sewing method. Thank you gals.
Great video! I hadn’t ever heard of stitching in hand until I started watching you guys. It is so much more enjoyable and natural. Thanks for doing this video.
Thank you for showing us this technique! I want to try it! Happy stitching. Love your show. The sweet background music is perfect.

Thank you for the tutorial! You both make the sewing method so fast & easy. Loved Cash's sweet song & Ronnie is such a sweet helper😉
Look so much faster!
Thank you! I can do the sewing method horizontally just fine but I was having trouble with vertical stitches. This helped me a lot!! Have a blessed day.

Wow! Priscilla you are really stitching fast. Thanks for the entertainment Cash! Bravo!!!
Thank you. 😘 Love seeing how both of you stitch in hand. I stitch in hand too.
Thanks P&C! Could go right to left, but couldn’t figure out left to right, now I know! Glad to know someone else has a stitching Jack in their chair while stitching!

Okay, my mind is blown. I had NO IDEA it was done this way! No wonder I got so frustrated when I tried! I’ll be practicing on scrap fabric for sure. Thanks, y’all!
You two got me to stop using hoops months ago and start sewing in hand. I will never go back. I stitch like you only left handed. Thanks for the video.😊
I stitch daily and I have never seen someone stitch like y’all.....so interesting!
Great job. .you could see your pieces and your stitches clearly!
This is exactly how I stitch. It is so quick! Probably not the neatest stitches, but i dont care. Happy stitching!
Thanks for sharing, I love Ronnie being in on the stitching.
I'm going to try this on an ornament stitch and see how it goes. You make it go so much faster. Your nails look great by the way. Great video guys and thank you.
Thank you both for giving up stitching time to make this video for us!
Wow!!! You guys just blew my mind!!! I didn't know stitching could be done like this. I could definitely see myself using this method, especially when stitching up and down. Thanks for the video! Love Cash's talking. I miss the sweet babbling. Now I just get grouchy grunts😁
Lisa Jar You DO know the grouchy grunts NEVER end? Just sayin'.
This is FASCINATING! I’ve got to watch this like 10 more times! Thank you for making this video! 😊💖
The video that the whole world has been waiting on!!!! Great job! I stitch in hand quite a bit but usually sew in rows of 1/2 stitched legs and then back again.... but same general idea
Thank you! I have been looking forward to seeing your method since I often stitch without a hoop especially on small projects. I have always stitched as usual but may give the sewing method a try.
Loved the musical background to this video! I've watched this twice....how you stitch is fascinating to me and I'm going to try your method on my next small project.

Yayyyy, the much awaited stitch in hand video! Thank you so much for sharing your technique!!
Love the musical addition to the video.
Its nice to see everyones different processes to stitch.🌻
Oh really. Wow. I will have to watch it again. I stitch vertically too to bottom needle in fabric to right of the block to make the bottom cross / then top to bottom on left side of the block to make the top cross \. Hope that makes sense and I work left to right. That is how I was taught. My second piece was a large pieces by Paula Vaughan on linen. Still one of my favorites.
Thanks so much for doing this! I have done it a little differently in the more than 40 years I have been stitching, but I think I'll give this a try. Your stitching looks great, and like you're enjoying it, too. I love the background singing, also the canine companionship :).

I use the sewing method and stitch in hand for Monaco and Aida. I stitch in a Qsnap or hoop when using linen. I use different types of fabric depending up the "formality" of the piece. In the 1960's my great-aunt taught me to cross stitch on stamped table linens where you had to have the back very neat because someone might turn the placemat or napkin over and see it. When my sister got me into counted cross stitch in the 1980's, I continued to stitch the way my aunt had taught me keeping the back as neat as possible.
Loved getting to see how you ladies stitch! It’s fascinating and so quick!!! I want to give it a go for one of my smaller pieces that don’t fit as well on the qsnap! I would love love love to see a finishing video as well! Great job
Thanks for the video! Loved how you stitch with Ronnie in your lap. This is how I stitch but with a q snap! The music during the video was sweet!!
Love these kinds of 'tutorial' videos!! Looking forward to more in the future! Thank you so much.
Thank you for sharing your techniques, I’ve always been intimidated by linen, so far I only stitch Aida.
So awesome, you two and Cash singing. Love it.
Thank you! I really need to try this method because it looks much more relaxing than me trying to balance my q-snap. Love Cash in the background...I miss those gurgle-days!
Now I know how you get projects done so quickly. Going through the top of the fabric like that is much faster. Thanks for the video. I see Ronnie got in the picture
This is awesome! I’ve actually never seen the sewing method this close up before. And admittedly I never thought it was like this in my head lol. I use the stab method with a Q snap. Thanks for taking the time to film the video! You ladies did a fantastic job showing us 💕-Jen
Thanks for this tutorial. I usually stitch in qsnap, but I might try the sewing method.
Thank u both so very much!! That was such a helpful video. No wonder u get so much done , you both are so FAST!! I loved the video because it’s how our life’s really are, dog 🐕 in our lap, baby’s talking, I will take your videos any day over someone who try’s to stage it so perfect. Love u both and always so greatful for the time you put into these.
Loved it! I’m a visual learner so I like quick & to the point! Thank you ❤️
Oscar ( my 1 1/2 year old) loved hearing Cash in the background. He kept laughing and giggling at the sound!
Thanks for sharing your way of stitching! I enjoyed watching. Happy stitching! Pam in Alabama
This video was fantastic. I’m very new to this so I’d really like to try this method. Thanks so much ❤️❤️
Thank you, beautiful work. I so needed this tutorial.
very nice my proplem always was how to hold the big fabric but i am ok with the small pieces ... thanks for sharing
Thank you! Even though I stitch in-hand pretty much the same way, I did get a new tip.
Thanks for filming this, clearest (to me) demonstration if this method. Sorry it was stressful for you both 😊
I am just learning the "sewing" method of stitching and I love it! So much faster and I'm able to maintain a decent tension throughout. Priscilla, I was absolutely floored when I saw your ring! I have the exact same one!!. Really flashy, huh? LOLOL I've got that typical magpie mentality. Chase after anything shiny!! Thank you, ladies, for yet again another worthy video. Oh, and thanks to Cash for his singing accompaniment in the background!
I appreciate your taking the time to explain this to us. The stitching is soooo rapid. I am going to break out some Aida and practice! Love the background entertainment, totally love the special sons effects.
Thank you for the wonderful video. It was a great help. Thank you again. Love your music in the background.
