1) always grid your fabric, you Will be thankfull later. 2) start with the loop method and end weave your ends in... 3) its much simpler to start in the left corner of a stitch... 4) start in top left corner for big patterns and in the middle for small patterns...

Okay yessss!! I kept wondering why people recommended starting in the middle specially when often it's like halfway through a particular colour's area? Starting at the corner seemed intuitive for me but I've seen so many people recommend the middle
@RogueMamaStitcher13 жыл бұрын
@@starsparks3150 I think this "start in the middle" tip comes from people that are unsure of their measuring and counting accuracy. It's a way to ensure you don't run out of fabric on any of the edges. 😬
@andreaandiandi40612 жыл бұрын
it doesn´t matter where you start and how you stitch - what direction or and color etc - just make sure EVERY Stitch is the same!!!! gridding is easy and fast - use water soluble BLUE (!!) pens, and wash your projects after finishing (well at least I do it always). Loop start is nice, but canßt be used when you use varieagated floss.

@scarletamazon34553 жыл бұрын
Knotting makes things so bulky and heavy, and can also pull the fabric out of alignment, spoiling the look somewhat. Backstitching is also a nightmare on a project full of knots, trying to force a needle through a dense knot is horrible. Running the floss under previous stitches is helpful, but I'd also recommend looking up how to do the loop start method, and pin stitches. Both really useful for starting and finishes threads neatly but securely, especially if there are no prevous or surrounding stitches to use!

I use it sometimes! I just find that the strands of my thread stay together better when I don’t pull them apart to create the loop, and since it’s no big deal for me to start my color the way I show I prefer that method usually. It’s really handy for people who struggle with messiness though!!

This is the first KZfaq video I've ever watched on cross stitch. As am elder millennial we had to learn all this stuff from craft magazines back in the early days of etsy and the handmade movement. So there's some really good tips i never thought of. How did i never think of starting in the middle, that's so basic! Or the needles for every color! I love it. I was surprised you didn't mention doing all the stitches only halfway in each section and then going back to cross the stitch. I guess I always thought everyone did that but maybe not. But I feel like it helps so much to keep all your stitches going the right way, and you only have to count for the first half of stitching every section. Feels much faster to me too coz you get in a flow in one direction. Anyways, great tips, thanks!

Also when I have projects I like to get an about 1 gallon freezer bag and placing all my color coded threads, and my adia ,and graph paper and put it all inside the freezer bag so I know where all my supplies are for that 1 particular project .

I was taught to start stitches basically by stitching over the thread for several stitches. That way it's more secure but still flat. The end effect is the thread being tucked under the stitches just like how you showed to end them. Also, I build stuff in minecraft a lot (pixel art is a lot like cross stitch) and I also build things the way you showed. Outline first then fill in. It's so much easier that way.
@EmmalynEtc3 жыл бұрын
I think outlining is easier too! People who care about their projects looking “perfect” work in grids because starting stitches from different directions makes the Xs look different depending on which way the thread is pulled, but I kinda like the rustic look of imperfect stitches and most of the fun for me is in the making of it anyway haha ☺️

With number 4 if you're worried, you can always start the way you ended the thread (going through the back of a few stitches) so that the start of the stitch is "hidden" also. I went from knotting the start of each stitch to going under a few at the back before poking through the first hole (if this makes any sense) and it makes me feel like the thread is "safer" even though I doubt it makes much difference other than the start being a bit more hidden and lessens the chance of accidentally catching and pulling that loose thread through another stitch.

For me I would make a digital copy of all my patterns on Winstitch cuz it's frustrating looking at the printed pattern especially when the grids are so small that you'd have to like use a magnifying glass. It does take a lot of time doing it digitally but it's worth it cuz I can just zoom in and out and check/mark what I finished. U can also scan ur patterns and use a software which u can use to zoom in and out the picture and also marking what u finished (I use OneNote to do this). Also for bigger projects it's nice to have a embroidery stand as it holds your fabric for u. I also use fabric washable pen for gridding my fabric.

Those bags are great. Typically patterns that require you to get your own thread and aida cloth have you refer to the DMC # of the thread that goes with the corresponding color code. Point being, i like to organize my thread bags by the DMC numbers im using per project. I also try to keep the bags stocked at all times. Nothing worse than going to do a color and not having it!!! Also dont have to start in the middle of your pattern if you sew out a grid pattern. Learned that after several years. My gosh has that saved me countless errors.

Usefull tip if the patten is telling to use 2 strands of thread. Take a single stand and fold in half and when you make a loop on the end. Then go through the back of your design not all the way, leave enough thread on the back so when you go back down you take your needle through the loop and anchor it to the back. This helps keep the project a little tidier and more secure when starting.

If you are using double thread. Thread both ends through the needle creating a loop at the other end. Come up through your bottom left hole from the back go down through the top right hole and put the needle through the loop created at the back and tighten and finish cross stitch

if your worried about needles poking you can put a tiny cork on tip they sell them for like a 1 $ at craft stores or dollar stores

another way i avoid knotting because i hate it is supergluing the end of each string on to the aida so it’s rlly secure and easy :))

Oh Christ, thank you for this!❤ I’ve recently gotten really into this since it really helps with my stress from school, and knowing I don’t have to knot every time is really relieving 😭

I wish a cross stitch KZfaqr like you would show off in one of their videos a really complicated finished project with a zoomed-in camera shot. Also show a finished project using, for example, 14 count Aida versus 16 count. I am new to cross stitching, so I haven’t really seen completed projects.
