Thank you that was a very good tutorial. You were extremely clear and explained things very well. 💕

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I have always been too scared to try linen, and wasn’t even aware of the different stitch 🤯🤯. I cannot wait to give it a try now thanks to your fantastic tips ❤

I bought a sampler from France and it’s to be done on evenweave. I’ve never done anything on evenweave before and found your tutorial. After watching your tutorial, you’ve given me the confidence to go for it. Thank you so much.

thank you for this video! I loved the visualization of the right & wrong places to start and I feel much more confident in starting with evenweave.

I've been stitching on linen for years and never knew that tip to go along the post! Thank you so much!

Marie, your suggestions were a total "game changer". I REALLY needed this tutorial. I followed your steps "to the letter" and I can't believe the difference in the feel and look of my stitches! I practiced on 28 ct. linen and really enjoyed the experience. I, too, had never heard of the concept of "leaning into the post" as a starting point ... but it truly makes a world of difference! A new subscriber here with a heartfelt THANK YOU.

Wow!!! You are fantastic!!! I just fogged about 14 hours of my project after your video.... I'm doing a large stocking project for my son. It wasn't "feeling right". I realize I did not have my stitches "leaning on the post". I hemmed and hawed whether it was worth redoing. Spent hours snipping out the threads. And WOW AM I GLAD I DID!!! THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME.... from giving up on cross stitch! Your an outsta ding teacher and demonstrator.... So happy I found you💕💕

Thank you very much for the clear & complete explanation of working on an even weave cloth ! Its helpful !

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I'll give it a try 😊

Thanks for explaining in detail, im a newbie to evenweave. I brought a new kit, and it had even weave in it, not aida, and with your help i now know what to do, thankyou so much

Thank you! I tried to stitch on linen not knowing this and became very easily frustrated and gave up. I will go back and give it another go!

Extremely helpful in learning how to start stitching on evenweave/linen. I have never done a project on either but just ordered a kit. Being able to reference this video will be a great support.

Fantastic explanation!! Tks so much!!❤

I have wanted to try evenweave but was nervous to try. Thank you for the clear explanation and tips of how to start correctly. I will be looking through my patterns for an appropriate project to start with.

Great tips as always. Thank you.

Very helpful!

Thanks Marie for another helpful vid 😊. Could you do one on how to grid fabric, and how to remove the gridding once you've stitched please!?!

Thank you so much for a clear, concise explanation and demonstration on evenweave. I’ve stitched on Aida for over 20 years ~ and just thought evenweave would just make stitching more cumbersome rather than the relaxing activity that I enjoy. I think I may just give it a try!

Great video and very timely as I have just bought some evenweave for a new project. Thanks Marie 😊

What a fantastic video. Definitely one of the best you have done. So informative and helpful. Thank you Marie❤

Perfect timing for this video. I am starting a new project... first time on evenweave and your explanations and tips are a HUGE help. Many thanks!

Very helpful 😊

Thank you for an outstanding video!

Thank you for a good tutorial now I understand 😍😍👍👍

Thank you Marie! Wonderful clear video. I've always been a bit frightened that evenweave would be too tricky for me. I'm tempted to start a small project to see how I get on. :)

Wish I saw this before the current SAL. I’m struggling mightily with the navy evenweave. I think I’ll start over on Aida and try a light color evenweave sometime in the future.

A great video !!!

Oh my gosh, best tip ever! I just started stitching on even weave and linen and never heard about coming up next to the post. Thank you!!!

A really great explanation. Wish I had this wisdom when I tackled my first evenweave 😅 Thank you 💚

Thank you! I never even knew this and have been stitching on evenweave and linen for years! Makes sense!

Wow! Thank you!

Thank you!! I never know we this! I have been doing it wrong for years now!!

Thank you for a great tutorial. Appreciate this greatly.

Thank You!

Thank you!❤

Thank you!

Very helpful. Thank you.

What a great tutorial explained clearly now i need to try some evenweave. Thank you

Thanku for that i enjoyed this now im goin to try now thanku

I have my first even-weave little baby project and I have been putting it off for months even though it’s only letter which are my favorite for how quick they stitch up. I think if I stitch after watching this again I can get going without a problem! Thank you ❤

Thank you for your clear directions and demonstrations. One challenge I have is getting my stitches to lie flat. Any tips would be appreciated.

Thank you for this. I was wondering how to go from aida to a different cloth

Thankyou so much. I wonder, do you have a video that explains the difference with the counts and what size needles to use with the different counts? I would love to learn more about that and you are so easy to understand. 😊

Very beneficial tutorial and easy to understand and follow. I now realize why I was having more difficulty feeling the right tension on the fiddler's cloth piece I was stitching on. " Leaning the post" helped explain why my stitches were sinking down and I was unhappy with my stitching. Maybe future pieces will be better!

Thank you for a very clear video - would like to make the jump to evenweave and also linen. Your video has made me feel a little less intimated LOL.

Thank you for explaining this. I did it wrong on linen and definitely ran into this problem of not stitching over the post to start. I will give linen a try again.

Great video, but I have a problem on where to start my stitching! Do you have a video on that?🥰

This was great and super helpful. So, unless my pattern specially says, it’s 2 over 2? I’m stitching on 25 count Dublin linen for the first time. The other question I have is about counting squares on the pattern to figure out where to start on the linen because I don’t think I’m counting correctly.

Hello Marie! Thanks for your tutorial to stitch on even wave and linen. I have a question: to stitch in Aida 20 is the same than stitch on even wave?

Excellent!!! Thank you.

I understand how to count the jokes to make the X but I can’t figure out how to count over to the next area when there’s a space between things. Such as a flower then a empty space of say a inch then another flower.

I always stitch so that I bring the needle up in the lower left, go to the upper right... then after I finish the row in that direction, I come back by going lower right to upper left. How is this impacted by 'lean against the post' if at all?

Very useful tips, I had wondered stitches sometimes disappear on evenweave, now I know

how would stitches "slip" under horizontal threads but not "slip" under vertical threads when the stitches are diagonal to both? if you turn your fabric 90-degrees, then your stitches are next to horizontal threads! 😱 this seems like a myth lol

Thank you! One thing, it is hard to watch when the camera is out of focus
