I can’t believe it, finally I have discovered a way to work on a full coverage piece that makes sense. It is genius, an orderly way that allows you to finish the thread on your needle! Thank you so much for sharing. I have the knowledge to tackle one of the patterns that I have downloaded!
After a zillion videos, you have given me the method that makes me totally enjoy my projects! I’ve started my first full coverage and is was so daunting before I saw this. It’s perfect for me. I really appreciate your sharing your knowledge and experience.
Thank you so much for this demonstration! I'm trying out a project this way and really enjoying it. Like you said, it gives you the freedom to keep stitching in one color, while also giving it some structure.
Hi. This was another great follow-up video to your last one! More good info learned by the answers to other viewers questions that I also had. Thanks for sharing! Greetings 🇨🇦
Thanks for your video!! I am about to start my first full coverage, I’ve watched a ton of videos, and I think I like this method best so I’m going to start with this!! ❤❤❤
Thank you! I started dcc and hated ending the thread when there was too much left. I started going in the next diagonal to finish the thread while waiting for this 😆. TFS
Simply love your videos. Binge watching from #1. :) I have learned so much and once again enjoy working on my full coverage pieces. I love the moose you are stitching and look forward to see it coming to life. Would you consider telling us more about yourself and the beautiful province of Newfoundland during the stitch with me videos. I live in Ontario but have never visited Newfoundland. On my bucket list though. Happy Stitching.
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy my videos, I feel so awkward in the beginning ones, I hope I get better over time! I think that's a great idea to talk about Newfoundland during the videos. It's just such a beautiful province.
This is a great method but I am not ready to try it yet. I taught myself the 10X10 block method with parking and my brain just gets confused any other way. But I have block marks. Just like you said you had several attempts with parking I know this is going to take watching this video a few more times. Thank you for making this video. 😃
Beautiful work. Thank you for the tutorial. Lots of questions… 1. Do you use a thread conditioner since you’re working with such long thread? 2. How are you ending your thread? 3. What kind of stand are you using? 4. What if you only have one or two more stitches in an adjacent column in the middle? Do you go ahead and catch those as you are traveling diagonally? We want to see the back. 💗
Hi! Thanks for watching! 1. I don't use a thread conditioner, unless its 310 sometimes because that frays quicker. Since there's a lot of travelling, the length gets eaten up. 2. I tuck the ends under existing threads in the back of the work and then cut the excess off. 3. I believe the stand in the video is K's Creations Z frame stand 4. If I am in the mood I will, but if I want to keep the straight diagonal edge I wont! Hope this helps!
Awesome! I've been looking forward to this video! I tried the other method bit didn't like having to finish the threads all the time, so I will definitely try this one out. Thanks Vani 😊
Hi Vani, thank you so much for your video - it’s really helped me decide how to start my HAED project. I have just started to stitch two handed and am having trouble changing the direction of the needle after picking it up on top. How do you manage to so swiftly turn the needle upside down and lead with your middle finger? It looks so effortless! Any advice greatly appreciated. Thank you 😊
Hi , I think I like the 10 square only not going up the column. Too think of all that thread wasted would back me go nuts, why play chicken. Enjoy you a lot thanks
Your videos have just changed my world!!! I am working on my first HAED, 400 across by 585. May I ask you --do you stitch your entire project all the way across the pattern (moving the Q snap as you go, obviously) And then when you've got to start again at the left you move your Q down?
Thanks so much! I actually end it how I learned to end a thread while sewing. I knot it. I'll have to do a small video on how to start and stop threads!
Hi Vani👋 Glad I found Your channel! Great Demonstration. I would love to give this method a try, even I’m very ‘parking stitcher’ , this CC has a nice organized approach (which I always need in order not to get lost 🥴) . I have a question (actually 2). I saw You pulling your thread behind more than 40 rows under .So the question is, doesn’t the back of the already stitched area get to bulky for the needle to get thru? Q2: will You ignore the same symbol in next diagonal, even if it’s closer than the same symbol in diagonal you are working on at that moment? (Does my question make sense? 😬) Thanks for taking a time 🙏 and thanks for showing us how You stitch. Very enjoyable and helpful video✨👍 Have a wonderful day and happy stitching 🪡🍀
Hi! Welcome! I am glad you liked my demonstration. To answer your questions: 1-I have never had any major issues with bulky ness and getting the stitching through. In the past it was more of a problem, I adjusted my stitching tension and kept my stitches a little looser so there is wiggle room. It also depends on your fabric count. 2-Yes I will ignore is a symbol is in the next diagonal over for this particular method, so I get the clean diagonal line. However in my next video you will see that I carry over stitching into the next. Its all a personal preference really! Hope that helps! Happy Stitching!
Thank you for this video. How are you securing your thread at the end? If you are for example traveling into the third diagonal with no stitches around to run the thread under on the back?
Thx very much for your video. I am going to attempt a haed. Was too scared before. I love your technique but a question. I never saw you end a thread. Do you just pull them where they will be caught in other stitching or did I just miss it
Hi Vani! Thank you so much for creating these videos for us. I have just recently started a new project and wanted to try this method instead of what was my current method (parking with threads hanging everywhere but the hanging threads were driving me bonkers) With the nature of a diagonal it will be such a small section when it begins I struggled about what to do. So I travelled to the other diagonals and now I have what looks like stitches everywhere - and I am noticing that I have messed up some stitches and am ready to scrap the 650+ stitches I have already done. What do you do when you start a new piece? Do you just sacrifice and use super tiny pieces of thread to stay within the tiny diagonals?
Hi! You are very welcome. When I start a new piece I do the first few diagonals together until I get to a diagonal that is long enough to stitch on its own. Thanks for watching!
I make my diagonals wider at first, then narrower as they get longer. Also if I’m using a color that is “just over the line” I do those stitches. Parking just gets me frustrated. I love this method. Great video.
Hello! Great demos on your method! As the diagonal gets longer, do you have rules on how far you’ll travel the thread before stopping it and restarting with a new thread?
Great question! No hard and fast rule, sometimes I'll let the frame I'm using dictate where the diagonal ends, and sometimes I'll let the page end line tell me where to end it. Then I just try to stagger my edges!
I like the diagonal style but what happens when you get to the center of a large project and the diagonal starts to go outside the area in the QSnap? Do you just stop within the Qsnap where the column ends? Just curious how you keep going, I guess just creating a stoppping point withing the qsnap would make sense.
Question about your set up. If you are working on a larger piece that has more fabric around the Qsnap, does folding the fabric and the placing it in the clamp of your stand ruin the fabric?
What frame are you using. Also what size q snap are you using and why do you like to using the small q snap frame compared to the 11x17. Sorry for the long question. Lol
The floor strand is the Daylight Stitchmaster. I prefer when stitch I in hand for a smaller size so it's not a strain on my wrist. For when I put it in the stand, I find smaller frames easier to manoeuvre around.
Another great video to encourage and inspire us to stitch. I received my frame and would like to discuss using it with you. Could you DM me on messenger?

Yes! That's great it's working for you!
I just love Stitch W/ Me’s. I really enjoy them.!Thanks for sharing.I learn a lot by just watching.
Thanks Anne!
This is so satisfying to watch! If only we could stitch as quickly as a timelapse. Lol
Right!? 😆
Hi. This was another great follow-up video to your last one! More good info learned by the answers to other viewers questions that I also had. Thanks for sharing! Greetings 🇨🇦
Thank you! I'm glad I was able to provide something helpful!
Thank you! That was helpful!
Thank you for another lovely stitching session. It’s always a pleasure to watch you stitch
Thank you!

Perfect! You were doing it even before I explain how I do it! Awesome!
Fabulous tutorials..all so helpful
🥰 Thank you!
I really enjoyed this video tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing the way you do this method. You have explain it very well. Take care
Thank you, I appreciate that!

Thanks again for the explanation of Your method! I am waiting for some new materials and then I will start using Your method.
You are welcome! How exciting!
Great tutorial, Vani! I think you should do more stitch with me's but without the music. I love hearing the thread go through the fabric!
Thank you! Lol, I'll think about it for sure!
I agree. I would rather hear the stitching.
This is a great method but I am not ready to try it yet. I taught myself the 10X10 block method with parking and my brain just gets confused any other way. But I have block marks.
Just like you said you had several attempts with parking I know this is going to take watching this video a few more times. Thank you for making this video. 😃
We all have to stitch a way the works for us. I'm glad the parking is working for you! Thanks for watching!
Yes I agree, finishing a diagonal is a win
😊

Thanks for this video gonna give this method a try 😍😍👍👍

I know most of the time I don't travel into the next diagonal. I wanted to show options. Thanks for watching!
A peaceful & informative video. Very nice.
Do you stitch on a diagonal primarily to avoid column lines?
Thanks for sharing your time with us again.
Thank you! I do! Also because I love the way it looks!
Your videos have just changed my world!!! I am working on my first HAED, 400 across by 585. May I ask you --do you stitch your entire project all the way across the pattern (moving the Q snap as you go, obviously) And then when you've got to start again at the left you move your Q down?
Oh I'm so glad! Yes that's exactly what I do. Working all the way across the top row of pages then moving down to the next row of pages.
I want to know too
Wonderful tutorial and stitch with me!!! How do you secure the last bit of thread at the end? Have a great stitchy weekend.
Thanks so much! I actually end it how I learned to end a thread while sewing. I knot it. I'll have to do a small video on how to start and stop threads!

Thank You Vani, for taking a time to explain. I really appreciate it ❣️
Could you show how you "feather" the edges of pages? I'm such a visual learner and these demonstrations are so helpful.
Absolutely! I'll make another video.
Thank you for this video. How are you securing your thread at the end? If you are for example traveling into the third diagonal with no stitches around to run the thread under on the back?

Hi, Thank you for watching, I am glad I was able to help! I usually tuck the thread under stitches in the back a couple times.

Hi Nicole, you are right, you go as far as you can within the boundaries of the q snap. I just feather the edges so they carry over.
Question about your set up. If you are working on a larger piece that has more fabric around the Qsnap, does folding the fabric and the placing it in the clamp of your stand ruin the fabric?
Hi, I've never had an issue, if I feel the stitches are getting crushed I'll place some. material between it and the clamp
What frame are you using. Also what size q snap are you using and why do you like to using the small q snap frame compared to the 11x17. Sorry for the long question. Lol
The floor strand is the Daylight Stitchmaster. I prefer when stitch I in hand for a smaller size so it's not a strain on my wrist. For when I put it in the stand, I find smaller frames easier to manoeuvre around.
I would love to know what stand you are using
I think in this video I'm using K's creations Z frame lapstand
Are you using a 6x6 qsnap ??
Yes! I believe so!
How do you end the floss if it is in the middle of no where?
Check out the next how to video!
Please show the back side as you finish a diagonal row each row. I visualize the back thread going in all directions . Is this true?
Yes the back threads can go in all directions.
What does the back look like?
Very messy!
What holds you qsnap? What is the name of your stand?
I believe in this video I used my daylight floor stand
@@threadtheneedlewhere did you get it?
@@cecilreyes4670 Amazon I believe! So long ago now
Another great video to encourage and inspire us to stitch. I received my frame and would like to discuss using it with you. Could you DM me on messenger?
Thank you! Yes! I'll send you a friend request!
How many count this cloth madam
This is 18 count in the video.
