This week I learnt the Away Knot and then dared myself to re-try the Pin Stitch. Had tried it a couple of times and thought it 'showed'. With the help of your lovely video am now pin stitching the first stitch. Haven't tried changing colour or ending with a pin stitch. Thank you so much. You are an inspiration. Have some Au ver a Soie 100.3 arriving today (my first time stitching with silk) and watched the Flosstube with you and Cathe Ray last night. So generous with all of your time.

I was stitching this evening thinking about how much time 'your' pin stitch has saved me. Now I learned how to end my thread with the pin stitch. Amazing ! Besides saving time, it looks so very neat...no more fuzzy thread ends poking out !! I stitched my first piece when I was 10 years old. I signed and dated it, and it is framed and hanging in what I lovingly call the 'Sister Bedroom'. It was stitch on stamped linen. The reason for the story is: I'm now 67 ... 57 years of stitching and I think how much time I could have saved using the pin stitch !! Thanks for your lovely videos. 😊❤️

Your demonstrations of the pin stitch variations and how to anchor a stitch when there will be no stitch to cover it are excellent! It would be so enlightening to see a video of you stitching a project showing how you handle color changes and steps up/down, to see how you accomplish such beautiful work. Any chance that you might produce a “stitch with me” video?

Tyfs this stitch. So much simpler than what I thought it would be. What thread are you splitting? The floss or the linen? Im back to x stitch after years away and am learning so much from KZfaq. I've never used linen but hope to do so soon.

Personally I am not a fan of ending with a pin stitch. You could try ending between two stitches rather than on the end of a stitch. The vertical line will be less visible then.

I am a quilter who is newish to cross stitch. I’ve been working on a few aida pieces but I really want to move to linen. I’ve practised this stitch on aida by stitching over 2 stitches on a practice piece. But am I right that this is really meant for linen using 1 over 2? Or 2 over 2? Just trying to learn my way through a new needle craft. Thanks if anyone can clarify please.
@nicolaparkman5 ай бұрын
The pin stitch is for when you use one thread. When working with two threads the loop method is best. That is when you take one long length of thread and double it. Take your needle through the fabric. Do not pull the thread all the way through. Bring your needle back up and take it through the loop where your thread has doubled. You then pull through and your thread will be fasten to the fabric. Hope that makes sense but if not let me know. N x
