I'm glad I found your video I loved it! I'm teaching a friend how to crosstitch. I've been crossting since I was probably 18 or 19 years old. And now I'm 50, and I'm teaching my friend who stresses over not working on her projects that I'm showing her how to do. One of the first things I told her was this is not something you ever have to rush on. Take your time even if a small project takes you a year to complete. Was nice to hear someone else say that they take their time as well. I love your organization ideas! They are fsbulous! I am only now finally getting into creating and soon to be selling absolute beginner projects for people like my friend who get overwhelmed easy on this stuff. Thank you for mak8ng your videos. I found you 2 years after mak8ng them, but going to be bingwatching your videos today. New subscriber.❤

So organized! I figured out pretty quick after ruining a few wip chart pages to use portfolios. I don't use vinyl to see the pattern but will probably add a small tag with the project name. I keep all my floss organized by number in a floss box and one of my projects is so big, It required it's own box. So once I'm done with that project I'll reuse it for another large project. I for some silly reason never thought to organize my Aida. Which seems silly now tbay I think about it. So now I have to go back and label all my leftover Aida. Haha. Thanks for the tips.

I've been trying to decide how to improve on my floss storage and will be trying your method. I use a larger size of those same type of stack boxes for quilt supplies and have a few smaller ones for Christmas decorations (thanks for posting the Target link to the size you use) and have Flossaway bags that I've rarely used so think I could make this work! Also great tip on the shelf liner in the bottom. I use the simple zipper project bags and love them. Since I am primarily a quilter, I have tried to resist the lure of making the pretty fabric ones. However, I've recently caved and have plans to make two that incorporate stitch projects in the back of them. Let's hope I can keep it to that, LOL!!

Dye lots can vary very noticeably when you don’t keep the same skeins with the same project. Hence, I always the kitted and started fabric together. NYou’d be surprised at how much a shade can change over dye lots and years. Trust me…after 50 years of stitching, I learned the hard way a long, long time ago. P.S. This is one of my “Never break” rules!

I, too, absolutely love stitching with Cosmo and finally broke down and bought a Cosmo Thread "book" to help me find colors when the designs call for DMC. I still need to find other online stores to find the Cosmo thread since 1) I don't have any Needlework/Cross Stitch shops in my area any more and big box stores don't carry it, and 2) the online shop I get most of my cross stitch supplies from doesn't carry all the colors. Any suggestions would help!!!! Thanks again for a great video!!!

Question - Hello, I really like your examples of organization. Curious though, Why don't you use the pre cut plastic floss cards. The ones that look like little spools of thread. It seems alot of stitchers are going the plastic bag type of organization. I just can't find that perfect organization for me because there are so many ideas. Also, how are you Labeling your bags. Which is most economical if you're on a very tight budget. Thank you for sharing your tips and thoughts. Happy stitching 🙂

Question - you store your off season fabric in a bag but what do you do with the pattern? I would be tempted to include the pattern with the fabric. Makes sense not to have the floss stored there; I don't know HOW many duplicates I have at the moment!! ;-)
@SimplyThirdStreet3 ай бұрын
I keep the pattern in my pattern storage bin. I find that I can more easily access it in a moment to see if I have it (so I don’t buy duplicates), check any info about it if someone asks, and to flip through when changing out my wips to see what I want to work on.

I find cosmo fabric online at Fat Quarter Shop, they also have a little cosmo floss. 123Stitch online has LOTS of cosmo floss. They don’t have the fabric. Those are my main online sources for it. Then I was lucky to find a new to me quilt shop about 15 minutes from me that actually stocks cosmo floss! Nothing else cross stitch related in the store so it’s odd but I don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. But for online: FQS for fabric and 123Stitch for floss. 👍

Thanks so much for all of this helpful information. I don't know if you've covered this topic yet, but do you have any hints about fabric care? When I finish a project, I steam the whole thing to smooth it out, but I'm afraid that is a bad idea. Is pressing better/safer?
@SimplyThirdStreet3 жыл бұрын
There is a pressing mat by Yarn Tree just for cross stitch and embroidered work. It’s a thin foam type stuff. It supposed to be really good. I don’t have it but have thought about getting one. I use a dry iron on the wrong side if I need to press. Most floss brands I use are color fast but some over dyed or fancy floss will bleed so I’ve just made it a rule of thumb to not use steam for myself. In the end, if it works for you, then it’s a good way. I also use qsnap rather than hoops and don’t get those deep round ‘wrinkles’ so it’s easy for me to iron. Perhaps other will comment and we will see what they use for set in wrinkles.
