Just want to say I love that you and. Ry do this together.
I love your relaxed chatty style in your videos. This is a great video for newbies to full coverage. I was so overwhelmed when I first started doing full coverage a few years back. I know this will help and encourage those who are keen to try. Well done 🥰
Loved your video,so many useful ideas,thank you for sharing.Hello from Hungary.
Jess I think you and I are in the same stitchy family😃. When I started in the '80's I taught myself through library books. And I stitched in lines across the whole piece, changing thread colours as they came along. Now, well now I'm all over the place and I must admit I have begun to think I was odd lol. The majority of stitchers on flosstube seem to stitch either in 10x10 sq. or park My brain just won't let me work like that. I still only use one hand. Thank you and Ryan for this video because it's settled my mind and decided that I can stitch how I like. I love your enthusiasm. How big will Ryan's project be when finished? I think the only time I've seen such a large piece of fabric is Jules(stitching designs)'. The major time I really freaked out was when I tried working on evenweave, I couldn't get my head round it after working on Aida. Now my favourite place is 1x1 on 25ct(gridded of course lol). Thanks again both of you. Stay safe🤗
That fabric is huge, I normally fold in half then half again for centre starts 😊 I do that with a needle too it’ll be interesting to see a centre start on a full coverage
Love this video! I'm still very new but starting a new project is so exciting! I might have to try, I think you called it a tent cross sometime to see if I like it!
I am super late to this obviously. And I know that Ryan wanted to do a full on start with taking the fabric out of the package. But when there are a lot of folds in fabric, a quick press with an iron is helpful. It will help to show up your pinch marks better.
I’m currently preparing my first full coverage while watching this, I’m going to stitch the mini Beloved by HAED
Totally agree with you , I am the same about my backs , no one will see it and like you use common sense if required ,at the end of the day its a personal thing no rules its your stitching enjoy it ! really loving your channel
I truly enjoy your vids . I'm working a kit , just for me & decided that I will take my time & railroad my stitches this time . Taking my time , just me , my Doxie & Chihuahua . Thanks for the new episode & company , too 🥳
With my limited experience with scroll rods, they don't work well if the project is wider than the rod. I've done it where I fold over a portion of the project into a split rod frame (one where the wooden rod is split in half rather than a full dowel). But it definitely doesn't have even tension throughout the fabric that way. So if you are someone who wants tight tension and have to sew onto the rod, then it would not necessarily be the best option to use the frame you have. (but you can often get dowels long enough at the hardware store that are the same diameter and would probably work for relatively low cost!)
I love how you measure your corner start! I wish I’d known that when I started my full coverage pieces.
Is it heaven and earth designs? Wish my hubby would cross stitch with me!
thank you for not starting this with your life story and getting right onto how to do this. Just getting ready to do my first full coverage. I would have liked to see how Ry put his Qsnap with his large fabric. Do you have steering wheel covers in the UK? They are very cheap in the US to use as a cheap alternative to a grime guard. just wrap it around your Qsnap
Thats all I ever do is full coverage!! I luv them!!!
I love working on one project to the finish
Just in time. I'm going to start my first full coverage.
Awesome video!!! Im ready to start ALLLL the thing atm❤
Would love to see a camera behind you two to see the stitching
Lovely and helpful video!♥
I loved this video, but we never saw what either of you are starting :-( Please share pics
Can thee person using the most fabric show how he uses uses the magnets to hold all the extra fabric?
Is Ryan's piece going to be that big on 16ct? 😮 or could you trim the edges to make it easier to handle?
What kind of tablet do you use for Pattern Keeper? I have an Apple tablet and it doesn’t work on it.
Why is his so big lol the aida
