I think I just adore you! No cross stitch experience but naturally buy the biggest kit you can find! I am so amused but completely understand the sentiment. I know the cross stitch basics. My sister is coming to visit & I’m going to have her teach me the more complex stitches.
I've started a lot of these (I'll be years finishing) the best tip I can give is cut your lengths in half - they're usually 36 inches, cut them to 18. This floss is lovely and soft but it frays easily so the shorter lengths have less time rubbing against the canvas as you pull it through. The needle threaders are worth their weight in gold, as the floss is not 100% cotton but a cotton/rayon blend. It will not stick together to thread like regular cotton floss will. Stitches up lovely, tho. If you have trouble getting the needle with the three strands (for 11 count) to pull through, use a smaller needle. I wish I knew that at first XD
@@diamondkissxo I stitch a lot of large charts designed by HAED, but they’re not even close to your almost 2 meters wide kits! It’s al about the journey. Enjoy 🥰
@@kittyvanpeer9382 I love HAED!! Just got into them and I find that the counted stitching with symbols is much less confusing to me than the printed kits. Those hurt my eyes. 😅
I just finished my first beaded cross stitch and I love them. I really want to try a massive cross stitch but I get so frustrated constantly switching colors lol maybe one day. All of your kits are beautiful
I'm working on a pattern from Artecy. It has 75 colors. Some of the grid squares are almost all confetti stitches. I get excited when I can use the same color for more than 4 stitches. It has 12 pages of patterns and I almost completed 1 page. I wanted a challenge, and I am not disappointed. But sometimes I spend more time changing colors than stitching.
WOW…. Such a HUGE task for someone who has never crossed stitched before. They are beautiful prints, but I am so intimidated by them. Tammie Rose gave some great advice in the comments section. Good luck and let us know how you go.
I love Ali express. I’ve bought a few of those big cross stitch kits myself. I have a hard time stitching the 11 count but can handle the 14 count better. I look forward to seeing your ideas on how to stitch the large pieces cause I would love to complete one. I’m also doing the exact tiger picture. I’m about half way there. The beads take up a lot of space which make the stitching go faster. It’s really fun to do. There are a few videos on how not to tangle your thread on RUclips 🌺
Thank you soooo much for the advice! Please let me know what the tiger painting looks like when you complete it. Take a picture and e-mail it to me if you don’t mind 😀
Get you some Thread Magic when you start cross stitching. For me, it keeps my floss from knotting and makes my stitches look neater. I also keep my floss in baggies as I am working through the different colors. The baggies are 4x6. I got them from Walmart in the craft area.
It always looks so exciting to get a ton of stuff! I'll live through your videos from now on though haha. I got into cross stitching only about a month ago after diamond painting for 3 years. It's just as addicting as the latter 😂🥰
Now I have done large cross stitch in 14 & 32 count (not stamped). Now looking at yours 2 ideas come to mind. 1 use a floor stand hoop 1st it will make it much easier to work on your project. 2 roll your patter in a towel it prevents from getting dirty or accidental spills. Use close-pins to keep it rolled. As complete each section you unroll and move on Now after watching your video I may try one of these and see how well they do.
This is the first time I've watched your video and I enjoyed it so much! I want a big cross stitch like that! I love stamped cross stitch, can't wait to find a giant one to make!
🤣🤣🤣 good luck with learning and finishing your first cross-stitch. It is a relaxing hobbie - FYI if you have pets their hair tends to get all over the canvas so try and keep things as clean as possible. Ive done a few over the years never that large. In general it takes me between 20-30 min to complete each square depending on how complicated the square is.
I am wondering why anyone would order so many, very large kits if you’ve never cross stitch. What if you find you dislike the craft? I certainly hope you will love it though !,
Did you get to finish this kit ?😀 I luv printed cross stitch kits but I wud never finish a huge one at the moment I am doing a 50x70cm in a 9 cnt jst luvg it
Hi ... I bought a humungus cross stitch of the 12 Japanese ladies wth silk threads tht was a big mistake as silk is hard to work with so its just sitting in my draw at the moment ... but I hve heaps of other kits to do ...
Thank you. Been eyeing that first one you showed. Really tempted but worried about the size. And what to do with it once it’s finished…. Haha guess I have already decided. Yep gotta go to Ali now and make a purchase….. *sigh* what am I getting myself into…….
I like big things too!! 🤣🤣🤣 The biggest kit I have is 74cm x 74cm and I'm the same way with my diamond paintings. Go big or don't order. I have a 80 x 100 iron man to work on.
I would love to cross stitch a large kit like these. I went to alibaba and Ali express but cannot for the life of me find any this size. Can you please share a link or a name? Thank you.
Try the “zozack store” on AliExpress. I did purchase these kits over a year ago so I have no idea if it’s still in stock or if the store is still in business. Good luck!
Oh dear...not only those super huge canvases are super expensive, but also to finish even one of them it'll take you more than a whole year, if to stitch it each day.
For such huge canvases I suggestyou put them or buy for it a special frame, so it'll be much more comfortable for you to take in and out needle and stitch in general. Otherwise, with all the rubbing of the canvas while you'll stitch it - the canvas and colours on it will blur and become rubbish! Talking from my own experience.
I hope you got a frame to work on these.. and possibly a holder if your frame isn't standing...even really seasoned stichers wouldn't jump into so many these size.. ps. Braid the thread so it doesn't tangle
@@diamondkissxo Sorry that I'm just seeing your message. I came back to this video to ask you what's the progress on your canvas! I ordered some of the same ones that your showed. No I haven't completed any of them as of yet. I just started on my very first canvas in Dec 2023. I watched video after video and finally found an older lady in my city locally that happened me learn this beautiful craft. Thanks
I have a medium sized crossstitch that I have been working on for 12 years. I wonder if you finished this big project? I have checked out your postings and can't find a finished project.
It’s been 3 years since this unboxing. Have you completed 1 yet? I would NEVER start something so huge because I get bored and want to move on to something different.
I think you over did it. Those big ones will take you a long time to do. Unless you live for cross stitching. For me I always wrap threads before I start. I wrap and identify what they are on them. Organization is key for things going smoothly.
Don't get silk the only thing silk does is free and it's really hard to use actually horrible I got a pattern was silk and I regretted it so I've changed back over to getting cloth DMC thread please don't get sick okay

But if you never cross-stitched before, and want to learn cross-stitch, it's not a very smart move to buy right from the start such huge canvases. You should start from really small, so to "build your arm" for it, to understand techniques and feel comfortable with the canvas size, not such huuuge sizes.
@@artysplash5969 This is great advice. I'm somewhat new to cross stitch, but i started on smaller projects and did a variety of things so i could learn the basics. I don't do anything smaller than a 14 count. I just don't like how 11 count looks, so i can't imagine learning that on a project so big. Her buying so many definitely seems like a waste, but, at the same time, now i know what they look like and know to never buy any. (I'll stick with counted. The printed hurts my eyes)

Great minds think alike 😀
To keep the thread from tangling braid them. They will still pull off the cards. Just be gentle when you pull.
Thank you soooooo much for the tip 😀
where did you get the beaded cross stitch kits ?
I typed in “beaded cross stitch kits” in the search bar on AliExpress.
And I thought I had shared a big kit…. lol Yours is bigger! 😮
Hi! I love the undersea kit....
Do you have a link to where you bought it?
Hope you will have fun stitching it!
Unfortunately, I don’t. I randomly looked up “cross stitch kit big” - and that kit came up.
I love that soooo much but I'm the person that can't afford of it i just watch it 🥰🥰🥰
You can live through me 😀

Use one dedicated needle for each color so you don’t have to keep retreading needles. That was the best tip I ever got.
Did you stitch them

Thanks for the advice 😀. Yes, I have many frames to do these canvases. I thought it was a good idea when I ordered them…. 🤷🏽♀️

I hope you can put the link shop
I have a medium sized crossstitch that I have been working on for 12 years. I wonder if you finished this big project? I have checked out your postings and can't find a finished project.
Still working on it.
I do cross stitching too during my free time.
Yay! Stamped or counted?
It’s been 3 years since this unboxing. Have you completed 1 yet?
I would NEVER start something so huge because I get bored and want to move on to something different.
Now i am wondering if you had finished it by this tjme.
Nope. Still working on it. It requires a lot of breaks so you don’t get burned out 😀
@@diamondkissxo that's a lot of stitching to come.. i wish i could have those large kit..it's so expensive..
Can I get the link to the first one please.
what is the name of the company? Because I'm always looking for new Stamped cross stitch

Yes, and it’s taking a while to get through it because I have so many projects on the go. But, yes, it’s big!
No creo que termines esos trabajos 🤔🤔🤔
I would hate to backstitch those.
I’m not a backstitching fan either!
I'm watching this video 2 years after posting it. I need a status of where you are on your cross stich journey.
I finished a 1/4 of it and never picked it up again as I started my own diamond painting company 😀

Yes, I received my first kit from them last week and I'm Pleased with it. They are on overseas company. It took several weeks to receive my kit.

Two weeks IS REALLY GOOD!
But if you never cross-stitched before, and want to learn cross-stitch, it's not a very smart move to buy right from the start such huge canvases. You should start from really small, so to "build your arm" for it, to understand techniques and feel comfortable with the canvas size, not such huuuge sizes.
And I always suggest people 14 count, where you put only 2 threads, not 3 as in 11 count.
Why is that?
Because 14 cnt it's less "pixilated" than 11 cnt.
