Wow, that frame is perfect for the Pink Sparrow Sampler! You must love seeing it all finished on your wall! 😍 It has inspired me to pull out that wip and get back to work on it 😊
Your finishes are fantastic! My Pink Sparrow Sampler is still sitting in a box waiting to be framed 🤦🏻♀️. I'm always so impressed with how quickly you fully finish yours.
Your finishes are so pretty, Jordan. I totally agree with the grey frame choice. Really makes your piece pop! A strawberry themed birthday is perfect for this month!
You look beautiful! Red it definitely your color ❤ I laughed so hard when you were talking about needing to purchase the ‘right’ color of fabric 😂 Thanks for sharing your work and time and family stories.
Your finishes are gorgeous!! ❤ I’ve been thinking about fall stitching lately too. But I’ve also been stuck on The Gather Inn house for a while now, should probably just get back to that 😅 Can’t wait for your WIP parade 🥳 Hook is the best! That’s some top tier parenting right there 👏
I’m an in hand stitcher and find using hoops is not for me. So it looks like we’re opposites! When I start a project I begin by ironing the linen. I usually start at the top right hand side and work my way down the right side. When I’m done with the right side I move to the middle top (if it’s a big project) and work down then to the top left. I keep my linen rolled up to where I’m working. This method keeps the project clean and my stitches looking good. I’ve been stitching for over 35 years and this really works for me. I guess when trying a new method there is some awkwardness until muscle memory kicks in but I encourage you to give it another try… you may find you really enjoy this method. Btw, I really enjoy your channel. I look forward to it every week. ❤
@@tattooed_stitcher I’m sorry I do not but if I come across a video, I’ll send it your way! I know it helps to see it visually. For me I keep my thumb and forefinger on top of the project and the rest of my fingers beneath. That way I can guide the thread and prevent tangles. It also helps with the tension. I find hand positioning really does make a difference in the outcome.
Feast of Friendship is So pretty. That blue house is lovely!! If you wash the piece, or if you can't with overdyed fabric/flosses. You could mist lightly and put between two towels and press. Also, release your stitching from your frames when you finish (if you're not already.) Pink Sparrow is really set off by that frame! Lovely, just like you❤
great stitching. I use scroll frames. the ones where you clip the cloth on the bar and then roll up the rest of the cloth on the bars. no squashed stitches
I press right side down with a slightly damp linen tea towel over the back, it seems to work, and I do not have a tight tension on my hoop when I am sewing. Hope this helps. The finish ‘s are really good. 👍🏻
Always so fun to see all your beautiful stitching! So many that I have already, but many more that I want to buy! Plum Street is always a favorite! A great show we have been watching is called Your Honor on Netflix’s; not for the kiddos, but you will like it I am pretty sure! We love The Bear but have not watched the new episodes just yet but soon! I may have to get MAX again soon as those dragons are calling to me! I loved the 1st season! Anyway, thanks again; will look forward to seeing your progress on all that you show us and those bags are lovely as well! Thanks Jordan!
I’ve heard about the felt trick as well with the Q-Snaps. Apparently it works really well and protects specialty stitches and silks and beads! Just make sure that the felt is thick enough.
Hi Jordan, your finishes are super and those bags are beautiful, so talented!!. You are such a sweet person I can feel the joy watching you. Take care dear 🫶. Hitting 100 today🥴
I just absolutely love your enthusiasm for all of your projects! Stitching is the BEST, isn’t it?!? Have a great week and enjoy all of your new starts. I’m mixing it up this month with Summer X st & Christmas is July. We live in NoCal and are in the midst of a huge heatwave…100+ for 10 ~ish days so far and our AC died 😭🥵. I am laying low, stitching & reading. 108 today and 111/112 expected for Thursday/Friday 😬🥴👎.
Absolutely great FlossTube episode! I have been trying to get ready for fall stitching as well. I ran into a big problem with one project. I got all the called for threads and I wanted to use 46ct fabric because she is large annnnd I’m stuck on what fabric to get because I keep loosing colors in the fabric! Maybe you can give me some advice? Your bags are just next level! If it weren’t for this darn storm that took out the city I would buy the fox and the blue and yellow flower bag for sure! Maybe next time. 😊
Sometimes you just can’t get around losing a color or two in the fabric but if it’s a color that is surrounded by a color that pops you are usually okay! And if I really can’t seem to get it right I’ll use the called for fabric!
@@amymontoya1971 … i left links on here but they didnt stay. I just got the stand and scroll rod off of amazon. I dont think i gave over $50 for them both
I seriously don't know how you don't keep all these bags. I hope you make 2 of each! ;) also, am I losing it, or does that lollies halloween pattern you showed not have ANY cross on it?!?!
The only hoop that doesn't squish my stitches are Elbesee hoops. The nurge hoops are squared off on the edges but the Elbesee hoops are rounded on the edges and I think that makes all of the difference. Tehy're not expensive but I don't know if you can get them in the US. I guess you could also try sanding a rounded edge on the inside of a nurge hoop too?
She posted it in the video I mentioned, it was a year ago though I can’t remember the title but the reverend is in the screen grab! I believe she also mentioned it in her previous videos while stitching it

Yay!
I also did the Pink Sparrow Sampler this year. It is a joy. And yes, those purple dogs are the best!

Oooo I love the gather inn, I also have this one kitted up and I hope to start soon 😊 another awesome video!

Gorgeous projects. ❤
Love all of your WIPS - New Starts - Every thing is so pretty.
Take Care & Happy Stitching
❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵✂️❤️
Just bought 'Live on Little' over the weekend before watching your video. I hope to start it soon :)
I use Q Snaps and I put a piece of Scrap Fabric all the way around underneath my Q Snaps Clamps so this way my Fabric and my Stitches are protected.
Ahhh…The Patriot is also one of my favorite movies! Your project bags are adorable!
Love your finishes and your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!
You look beautiful! Red it definitely your color ❤ I laughed so hard when you were talking about needing to purchase the ‘right’ color of fabric 😂 Thanks for sharing your work and time and family stories.
I love everything! I kitted up a lot of fall lately too 🧡🖤🧡

I would like to get better at it! Do you have a good video tutorial you can recommend for how to do the actual stitching part?

If you use Q-Snap and put felt over the stitches before snapping together, it should take care of the stitches. Hope that helps. 😊❤
Thank you for the tip, i will try it 😊

100?!? Groooossss. Thank you so much!!
I use Qsnaps with felt pieces under the clips. My stitches never get flattened, but I do take the Qsnap off when the project rotation is finished.

Oh my gosh. Sickening!!!! Do all the laying and doing nothing!!
Jordan beautiful finishes as usual. Red is your color woman it looks so good on you but then again you are beautiful so u look good in any color
Oh my gosh you’re so sweet thank you!
Your pink sparrow sampler is gorgeous.
Yes, I agree! And I want to stitch live on little also. I've only been stitching 6 months, so I get the'feeling behind' bit.

@@tattooed_stitcher that seems to be the way with this project but the called for fabric won’t come in 46ct. Would you just switch counts?
What is the project?
@@tattooed_stitcher Twin Peaks Primitives: One Nation Under God
Oh gosh I really don’t think you could go wrong with any neutral in a 46!
Girl you look beautiful! I need you to come over and fully finish my items 😂😂😂 they are currently chilling in a box.
❤️❤️❤️
Try scroll rods . I love those. I dont use my hoop anymore.
What kind of scroll rods do you use?
@@amymontoya1971 … i left links on here but they didnt stay. I just got the stand and scroll rod off of amazon. I dont think i gave over $50 for them both
I use scroll rods so it doesn’t smash my stitches.
❤❤❤
I seriously don't know how you don't keep all these bags. I hope you make 2 of each! ;)
also, am I losing it, or does that lollies halloween pattern you showed not have ANY cross on it?!?!
What do you mean? Help! I’m confused! 🤣
@@tattooed_stitcher oops...Typo! I see no CROWS on the pattern called Lollies, Crows and Candycorn.

Where can I locate the Lori Holt color conversion for Rev. Gordon Squashbottom?
She posted it in the video I mentioned, it was a year ago though I can’t remember the title but the reverend is in the screen grab! I believe she also mentioned it in her previous videos while stitching it
