Just a suggestion: some of us have a hearing condition that makes it difficult for us distinguish music and other background sounds from speech. I enjoyed your video but found it quite difficult to make out what you were saying. Will you please consider turning your music way down so that folks like me can understand you? Thanks very much for the video in any case.

Will you be reviewing Rosie Grier's NEEDLEPOINT FOR MEN? Perhaps you already have and for some reason I cannot locate it? I'm curious to get your view(s) on it. Thank you. Ricky

That'll definitely happen one day! Rosie is a hero of mine and his book is one of my prized possessions, so I'll be reviewing it one day for sure!

Thanks - I would like tips on dealing with those pesky single cross stitches - the best way to hold the thread secure?

@MrXStitch 4 жыл бұрын

If they are confetti stitches along side other stitches, I have sometimes started by wheedling the needle under some of the other stitches to hold the thread in place before starting the pesky one. Does that make sense?

I'm an absolute beginner and I'm confused ad two if my kit key tells me to use two different strands of different colors. How do I thread that?

@MrXStitch 4 жыл бұрын

Each of your strands of floss will have six threads on it, so you want to take one strand from each colour. It'll give a nice effect and the waste knot technique will make it easy for you to start. 😁
