Very interesting. I am now going to dye my own fabric. One suggestion. I use my sewing machine and do an overcast stitch on the edges. Works just like a serger.
Thank you. Just dyed one today using a scrap piece of Aida and it came out perfectly. Just like you showed. Now I can dye my 28!evenweave with confidence. Thanks so much.
Hi Jen. Thanks so much for this tutorial. Dying fabric is easier than I was expecting. I dyed a piece of cross stitch fabric with light blue and it looks like a sky with clouds and now I don’t have to stitch them - just the fun flowers.
They came out beautiful. Wow. Really pretty. Thank you for making this video. Very helpful. I heard some bake in oven to set, that may only be for tea dying. I know the fabric can burn in the oven too.
Great tutorial!! Looking forward to trying this technique. I have one question. I always wash my finished piece in cold soapy water and rinse in cold water. Do you think I should use a color catcher? Will dye residue bleed over onto my finished stitches??
Great video! 🤩. I definitely appreciate the tip about using the spoon instead of just pouring the dye. It really makes a difference in making sure you don’t use too much.
How much dye would you recommend if I dont want such intense pigmentation? I'm trying for an aged look and my aida is coming out far to pigmented. I'm wasting so much money experimenting 😮💨
Hi! Thanks for the wonderful video. Is it possible to wash and reuse the containers or use empty peanut butter jars or something similar? I hate to think of all that plastic going into the landfill. Can you save dye for another day or will it break down?
Thanks for the video. Very helpful! If I wanted to do two different colours for example grey and pink. Would I do this at same time? As put all grey on then the pink and then let it sit. Or would I rinse the grey, let it dry and go back over with pink? Thanks
Always dye the light (pink) color first, rinse and then dye the darker color over it. But for the second color (gray) only let it sit for 2 or 3 minutes.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm about to do my first attempt in an hour live on stream XD we shall see how that goes. Quick question about Jen's reveal using her fabric. Any chance we could know where she got the backstitch pattern of the baby alien?
Thank you so much for showing how to do this - I have been wanting to dye some of my aida fabrics, but just wasn't sure how to go about it - Now I know - If I wanted to have more than just one color, would I have to dry each color in between each color dyeing process, such as maybe using a green and then have some pink with it?
Your fabric turned out beautiful! The grey is just what I was looking for. 😊 Thank you.
I have been watching 4-5 tutorials for fabric dyeing and yours are exactly the look I'm wanting. Thank you.
Can i wash my dyed aida after i finish my project?
I have watched several tutorials on dying cross stitch fabric. Your results are my favorite!
I’m so glad I ran across this!! It’s so hard to find dyed fabrics now, but I have an entire bolt of white. I had no idea it was this simple.
I tried this today! So easy; thanks for easy instructions! 🥰🥰

Thank you for showing us this technique.
After watching your video I'm inspired to give it a try. Thankyou.
Hello! Most tutorials have an extra step to fix the colour (baking), so I’m wondering if you can wash the fabric safely after stitching
Wow!! Great instructions! Beautiful finished pieces!
I just found this tutorial...very informative...thank you to Jen for demonstrating! 😊
I love the blue.x
Wow, amazing work and what a cost savings 🎉❤
Thank you for watching! 😊
Thank you for this information. I have stitched on linen and wondered why my stitches looked wonky and other times just fine.
Mind blowing!! I for sure will use this method, thank you for showing your how to!!
Most welcome 😊
A familiar, sweet face here! You are doing a good job! Love you and Caterpillar Cross Stitch!
Thanks Betty, Jen did a great job! : )

Thank you for posting. How do you make it color fast?
Thank u so much Jenn luv how u keep it real and simple for us! Keep up the good work. 😉
Thank you for th clear instructions. Instead of a serger I zigzag with my sewing machine or just sew two lines of straight stitching. Love the colors!
Excellent tutorial!!!! Thanks Jen
You are so welcome!
I’m looking for tips on rinsing the cloth and dye cleanup … I’m scared I’m going to stain my white sink. Help?

Thank you Jennifer! An amazing video. Will definitely be watching a lot more while dying my fabric😍🥰
i loved this . tyvm,,,
That was great Jen .
Hi! Great video! Quick question, when you iron it do you use steam or dry iron?
You were very helpful, Thank you
You're welcome!
You can use masking tape or painters tape for the edges of your dyed fabric before stitching
Yes you can!
Very informative. Looking forward to trying it.
Great fabrics, thank you!
I certainly enjoyed this tutorial thank you
Thank u for that awesome video , gonna try it this weekend:))))
How much dye would you recommend if I dont want such intense pigmentation? I'm trying for an aged look and my aida is coming out far to pigmented. I'm wasting so much money experimenting 😮💨
Love the way your fabrics turned out! Beautiful!!
Great tutorial - thanks so much!
Thank you for sharing.. I have dyed silk and tea dyed AIDA but not tried these dyes..
Thanks so much for this. Great information. This looks like something I would like to try.
Love watching this..thanku...def gna try it...xx
Thanks for a wonderful tutorial! Just got inspired to dye some of my own fabric now!
How many oz are these disposable plastic containers?
how do you get a multi color dye on the cloth? Whats the process?
Hi! Thanks for the wonderful video. Is it possible to wash and reuse the containers or use empty peanut butter jars or something similar? I hate to think of all that plastic going into the landfill. Can you save dye for another day or will it break down?

P,ease could you tell me which rit dye you used as there are a few depending on fabric used?I want to try it on 28 count evenweave
Thanks! Does the dye stain your sink?
Thanks for watching!
Can I wash my project when it is complete?
What size are the plastic containers you used
Are they colorfast? I always wash my piece after stitching, would that work with this method?
I would recommend testing the floss first before stitching to ensure they would be colourfast.
The floss is colorfast. I'm asking about the fabric after it's dyed.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm about to do my first attempt in an hour live on stream XD we shall see how that goes.

Yes, I believe you would have to do each colour separately or they may run into each other : )
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this tutorial. Can you dye any fabric or does it have to be Monaco
Yes you can! Any fabric!
@@CaterpillarCrossStitch thank you
💖🥰💖
Dog does not bother. It is cute.
Great Job. But does dying the fabric cause the holes to be smaller than they started out with
Why would it do that? It soaks into the fibers of the fabric
