That is utterly life changing! Ok, ok, maybe not life changing, but for someone looking to move from Aida to evenweave or linen, that’s REALLY gonna help!

This is a GREAT video. I’ve seen these threads off yo the side but I’ve never seen anyone take the time to really explain what they were, why they were there, and how to trim them (and when to trim them). Thank you!

I guess that's one of the best ways to not have a ton of knots on the back, I just started my first beginner kit and I should try this when I'm a bit more use to it. Thanks

This is a WONDERFUL idea! Thanks for sharing!!

Ahhhh! Never thought of just letting the pattern anchor them down instead of trying to intentionally anchor. So much more organized! Brilliant thank you!

I need to know how to change colors back n forth excessively...do I need to use multiple needles?

Too clever!

I've been doing similar for a few years. I work from the bottom of the pattern then upwards. I let my waist threads hang out of the top and clip them off after a few rows go over them. Lovely work!

Is this 28 ct? What fabric do you use? I've been looking for solid 28 ct aida and I'm not having the best luck. Awesome vid btw :)

Does this give anybody else some anxiety from the wastefulness?

@galaxy_tripod0_0 9 ай бұрын

A little bit yeah! Haha. I live in the middle of nowhere, and the closest place that sells a decent thread selection is a Hobby Lobby an hour away, so I am all about saving as much thread as I possibly can 😂

@galaxytripod8055 do you have any way to order online and have it delivered, even if it's to a po box rather than your house that could save you a lot of money.

@blacky_Ninja 8 ай бұрын

Yeah.. But it IS a nice method, though i‘d guess 5 or max 10 crosses over would be plenty already. Having an anchor of 25 adds more load and is really overkill when those crosses could technically even hold themself on their own.

@nataliassis Жыл бұрын

I love this method and I've been using it on my first large full coverage project and I love it. One question though. How do you anchor the floss when you get to the end of the pattern and there's nothing left stitch to your right?

@atomheartcrossstitch Жыл бұрын

When I get to the edge I start bringing my waste threads down instead of over. And then when I get close to the bottom corner I have to give up and flip my work over and anchor under existing stitches. Hope that helps! 🥰

But don’t you waste Thread this way?

That's what I was thinking...I play thread chicken every time

@jese3608 11 ай бұрын

It does create waste but when you consider the amount of detail and colors that go into a piece like this, the convenience is worth the waste. Floss is relatively inexpensive and sometimes on pieces like this you’ll only have a few stitches in a single specific color so a single skein of that color is more than enough. She’s also only using a single strand - DMC has six strands in it.

@Sputterbugz 10 ай бұрын

think about how thread is usually polyester though. that is a lot of plastic waste

@jese3608 10 ай бұрын

@@Sputterbugz DMC embroidery floss is 100% cotton and even if it weren't, I would still say the waste is still negligible. I have had the same ORT container for going on 3 years and have barely filled it 1/3 of the way. Stuffed to the brim the thing could probably only hold a cup of waste thread. But to each their own - some people like playing thread chicken and some don't. It's a hobby so there is no right or wrong way to go about things, we just do whatever feels right to us.

How do you keep them for coming back up through your work after you cut them?

@andrew4635 Жыл бұрын

That’s the point behind anchoring the stitches off to the side :) Once those threads are gone over as the section gets completed, those previous stitches are well held in place!

I'm sorry, did you just do a loop start with a single thread??? That's illegal and I'm calling the police.

You dont need to see what she is stitching, so it doesn't matter how fast she's going. Her focus is on those horizontal lines of thread on the right. Watch it a few times and you'll get it.
