Love all your super sized starts and purchases especially Amazing Animal kingdom. I have done a little on each shelf to correspond with the season. It's my jail piece for monopoly which I am playing along with you. Using the game to try and encourage me to stitch on the few gifts stitches that I started several years ago and really should have finished 😊
Hello, always enjoy your videos! in your discussion of doing tent stitch but not warping the fabric.... the key is to look at the back. We can learn from needlepoint, where we have three "tent" stitches.... half-cross which shows "upright bars" on the back.... continental, which looks the same on the front, but has long diagonals on the back, and basketweave, also the same on the front but which has a herringbone on the back. You are probably doing continental, which is why you described it as "going across two" (on the back). In needlepoint we would say you stitch down "ahead of" your up stitch. And if you do this in reverse on the return patch, it evens the tension on the warp threads so your project doesn't get "warped". My explanation is probably as complicated as yours was, but I understood you perfectly. The key is to look at your back. You will always have occasional "half cross" rather than continental tent stitches due to following a logical stitch path with your color. Best wishes and keep stitching! xoxo
I’m so glad you understood my explanation - sometimes my brain works in a way that’s hard to explain lol. You explained what I do exactly- I never knew there was a name for it. Thanks again!😊
I think you may be stitching similar to a video tutorial I watched by The Flosstube Stitcher. It is #36 and references Continental method. I don’t really understand how to continue stitching one color as you go down where there is a stitch here and a stitch there. I attempted a trial using this method but found it hard to push and pull the needle through once other stitches were around the area or holes had already been stitched into. I was using 28 count easy grid, so maybe the 28 count was too tight for the technique? Anyway, I totally enjoy watching your videos and seeing the progress you make on your beautiful projects.
Kim the 303 stitcher twisted my arm and I will be starting The amazing animal kingdom on 25 count Friday when my fabric comes lol. Seriously I’ve been eying it for a few years so didn’t take much twisting.
