Hello! I do not understand the tacking stitch when ending your stitching. Where are you hiding that in your stitched piece without it showing?

Could you please share what you use to grid your fabric? Looks like some sort of blue pencil? Thanks!---

Thank you for sharing & demonstrating “The Frog” needlework stand. I procrastinated on buying this stand due to the cost, but finally bit the bullet and hit “Add to Cart”! I’m totally convinced I will get my money’s worth. I foresee this stand lasting me for many, many years to come.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Your video on how to attach the Q-Snap attachment to The Frog needlework stand was a lifesaver! Also, thank you so very much for taking the time to answer my questions through email!! You (And your stitching) is amazing! I look forward to watching many more of your FlossTubes! -Veronica-

Thank you for the company while I stitched ❤ Do you have a bell to ring when you finish Fred? If you don’t have a physical bell, you can Google ‘front desk bell’ to have a bell sound at the finish line 🎉🎉. I have did that when I finished my last piece.

Hey Karen, for ecc I normally start with the largest to lay the foundation and less likely to place it wrongly. Great progress on Fred! Looking forward to your new start on the diagonal. ❤

Enjoyed stitching with you today on the replay. I hope to be with you on the last few stitches. Not long now. Sending lots of positivity that you will finish by the end of the month.

I’m also don’t know how you put 1/2 a mark in a square when you park a thread. We couldn’t figure that out

I’m so proud of you. There are so few holes left! Yesterday Jan taught me how to use markup. Now I’m all ready. 1 question, do I have to have the PDF in order to load all the colors and symbols?

So close, omg! Could you announce when your live will be? I always manage to miss them.

Dear Karen, thank you - I looove your tutorials, always. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You have made my cross stitching much more enjoyable when using your tips and tricks 💖

Karen I found the Ipsa CAL, and I now understand your enthusiasm. I am now testing if I can do this and it is so much fun, tnx you !

Blue Christmas

Those are nice stands. Enjoy Karen! (hope I got your name right, so bad with names! LOL)

Wow! Are you piercing your thread as you do this loop start?

A name that popped into my head for Adam's stocking - Wynter Bleu

Not sure how i missed this live, since I've been checking all day to see if you'd posted anything. Oh well, I'm here now 🙂 I'm in MI, so also in your time zone

I did get the PDF but I ordered the fibers and fabric package

The pattern is mini purple dragon and it is a HAED I didn’t realize it takes 90 days to get it

How’s your left hand feeling

Hey Karen, the dragon I chose says it’s worked on 25 ct and worked with2 strands of floss. It’s also worked on black. Is there any way I can change that to easy count lighter fabric and use only 1 strand of floss? It’s a HAED and it’s the mini purple dragon

Starting your live I've had some problems with my YT. So I had to restart twice. I didn't hear in the live, that you thanked me for mentioning your videos in FB. Thank you therefore. Sure I'll give the links to yours.😊 Meanwhile it's raining cats and dogs and there's thunder and 🌩️, as predicted. Today's stitches are at 1409 ❌❌. One hour minimum left to stitch a bit more. You're on a good way to get Fred finished. The light at the end of the tunnel shines bright.😅 Go on.❤

👋 Karen

Hi! Nice improvement to the floss keeper! And my name is Olesya. Sorry, I don’t mention it as often. Happy stitching! 🥰

I knew of this stitch but had forgotten it, this has really helped me a lot. Thank you.

Hi Karen! Love Long John donuts! Happy belated birthday 🌷 Always nice to see you stitching Fred! Nice progress!!

Could u please turn the music off? I am hard of hearing and the music makes it harder to hear. Thank you

Really love this stand Karen! Thank you for sharing this with us.

Thank you

Can’t wait till I get my HAED so I can try these beginnings and ends

Thank you so much Karen for doing the video

Thank you Karen looks nice and neat 😊

Waiting for Fred to be completed is as exciting as watching Stitcher’s Retreat! Go Karen! Also- I like that you’re capping membership for the group. Too many weirdos out there. Have you thought about doing a waiting list like the Black Needle Society does? That way when a spot comes up the next person in line gets it. Just a thought to make it as easy as possible 😊

Oh this is fantastic do you have a link to the bags please. These will be fantastic for full coverage

Hi Karen. I love when you try new ideas and share them with us. I’m going to try both of them because I’m pretty sure I purchased those same project cards but never got around to using them. I just need to pick up some bags now. Happy stitching

I'm going to have to try this on my aida projects. Maybe my full coverage thats on hardanger too. Do you think that will work?

BTW, is Adam’s Stocking retired on HAeD? I looked for it but couldn’t find it.

Thank you Karen for showing this floss technique. I am going to do one and see if I like it. I’ve been wanting to try this since I saw master stitches show hers

How do you pull the threads off the card to use them?

I do enjoy your videos, Karen and with each video I learn something from you. That being said, as often as you feel like recording a SWM works for me!

I was born on flag day and my mother was born on Memorial Day. It really makes it harder to forget.

Looking good!! I'm with you with the "close enough with a colour that doesn't REALLY matter"! Did you switch from the sewing method to this for any particular reason?

I find this speaker a little too slow and therefore I loose interest. Se hesitates too much

I'm anticipating the completion of Fred...stitch and record as often as you can!!😊

I too would watch as many SWM as you would like to record. I enjoy them so much and love stitching with you.

You are getting so close. I am game for whatever you decide works for you.

Karen would love to see a more closer video of you finishing your threads and also how you are putting your floss cards in bags . Fred is looking fab

You are so very close. I have chills. 🎉🎉😅😅😅❤

Its totally up to you how often you want to do a video. If you did decide for everyday, you better bet I will watch! So close to a finish! I love sit and stitch videos!

It’s fun watching this countdown to a finish with Fred! I would watch as many SWM as you would like to record. Whatever best suits your schedule 😊
