ABOUT ME:
Thanks for visiting my channel, I hope you enjoyed the video! I founded Caterpillar Cross Stitch in 2015 when I tried desperately for months to find a modern baby sampler my mum could stitch for new baby Felicity that would fit in with her simple, contemporary nursery. I love cross stitch, running, baking fruit cakes, drinking gin, eating salted caramel ice cream and most crafts!
See you soon and happy stitching! Sally x

I've watched several videos on the parking method and they left me more confused and befuddled than ever. This is, by far, the best explanation and demonstration ever. You are soft spoken, calm, and methodical. I've learned so much from every one of your videos. Thank you so very much.

I've just discovered flosstube. I'm 73, I've cross stitched for decades, and I've never seen that way of tying off. Wow! So cool and tidy! Thank you! I had been snaking through multiple rows on the back.

This was a great video and I now understand how this method is done. I would have loved to see what the back looks like with all of the threads that had "traveled" across the back. I guess they were covered by the cross stitches, but I would have liked to have seen the back. I love your videos. Thanks so much for this one.

Cross stitch is simple, no need to follow any methods but your own. It’s a very relaxing hobby that helps if you have an anxiety disorder. I’ve been cross stitching since 1st introduced a 6th grade crafting class. I’ve completed dozens of patterns. The back of my work is a hot mess and I could care less. I stitch all my crosses in the same way, left to right, then right to left. Just buy a small kitand give it a go 🥰

Thank you for this explaination. I work 100% in hand and only do huge full coverage. I use paper patterns and for each symbol I assigned a marker color that I mark with the color as I stitch it. I prop up my pattern so I can look at it as I work. I don't do the block approach. I work sections and do one color at a time. I start with colors that have the most coverage, then work my way through the colors. I don't think I could handle the parking method working in hand .. too many strands all over the place. When I "travel" I turn over my piece and weave the travelling through through other threads. If it's too long a distance, I start and stop the thread.

This is the first time, in over 50 years of stitching, the parking method has been explained to me in such an easy to understand way. I get it now! I started my first HAED and have had many people try to explain it but I found it confusing. Having you explain the "why" behind doing things helped to make it clear - I'm also a very methodical thinker and your explanation was spot on. This is my first time watching one of your videos...I have subscribed and bookmarked this channel and look forward to learning more from you. Thank you so much for such a great tutorial!!!!

I have cross stitched for over 50 years on and off. I've seen the parking method shown on different examples of work but had absolutely no idea what it was called. I'm very happy to learn about the parking method and that my whole piece doesn't have to use the method. It's a real eye opener for me! I also am going to take the time to learn how to end a thread by pin stitching. Also another new term for me! I love to learn new ways of doing things and am very happy today. Thanks for such a great tutorial.

I always learn more methods and names. I used the parking method on my own self taught, but never worked a 10x10 before. I am currently working on my largest pattern ever. This will helps so much. I def use the Danish stitching and I guess some cross country. Lolz. I never knew they had names. I will try this complete method. I have 8 more pages to do. Tysm for sharing!

I have cross stitched for years and am just now hearing about the parking method and so much more. I am working on a project now that has a lot of color changes and have started over 3 times and taken floss out numerous times on those tries. This has led me to Pinterest and finding any help I could find. Your video is absolutely awesome! I can see what you're doing, your explanations are complete, and you are easy to listen to. I am going to watch some more of your videos before I try my project again, and I'm just sure things will go better. Thank you so much!

Huh…very interesting! It’s cool to see how different everyone stitches. I complete each stitch one at a time because I prefer hand-dyed threads and it looks weird if you don’t. I also LIKE the process of completing an “X”! I do not, however, like bulk in the back that pushes the stitches up in the front. This might be something I try!

Also, I’ve watched others deal with confetti stitches (which I’d never heard of til a couple months ago), but couldn’t grasp the pin stitches. Thank you for showing the pin stitch in this video. And thanks for briefly explaining the various methods to tackle full coverage pieces. Sooo much seems to have changed from 45 years ago!☺ I’ve learned so much in a short amount of time. I’ve subscribed and will be watching more of your videos. Many thanks!!

Thank you so much for watching Yvette, I'm honoured I could teach such a seasoned stitcher something new! I am using a no-brand stand from Amazon, it's handy for tutorials but can get a bit fiddly.

Just coming back to cross stitching and have been watching a few tutorials. I have to admit I was a bit overwhelmed but you have captured my attention. I will try your method…I have already started a pattern before watching your tutorial…maybe I can put it to use on this project. If not I can always start a new pattern 😂. Thank you for your time and method. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

I've been cross stitching for many, many years, but never heard of this method before now. Wow! What a revelation. Your explanation is terrific. What kind of stand are you using. Could you make a video about that? Explaining some ways and tools to use. Thank you. Lovely stitches by the way.

I guess I've been doing this for a long time, and never knew it had a name!!! I'm a senior and have a hard time seeing the patterns, especially when they have lots of colors. Even with a magnifying glass, it's difficult. Now, I take a picture of the pattern on my phone and then I can enlarge the part I'm working on... works great! I don't have a copy machine that will enlarge, but that is also a great option. Thanks for this very good tutorial! (*^*)

Thank you for your great video!! I need to get back to my first med.full coverage piece and was doing cross country, but will try the parking method now. I had gridded my Aida, but also realized I was putting the blue dots on top of the 11th fabric stitch but can now see my error that the dots should be right in between 10&11th stitch. I also revisited the “ pin stitch” . Tks so much! Your video set up and quiet slower speaking voice was so helpful too! Greetings from Canada 👋🧑🏻‍🦰🇨🇦

G'day I just found your channel. I have always wondered how you do the parking method, it looked very complicated to me. This video is great you explain and show us so clearly. On my next full coverage I will consider trying it. Thanks again look forward to seeing your other videos. Watching from New Zealand

This was SO helpful! I wanted to try the parking method for once and this video answered this and other questions I had in the world of cross stitching (like why people care about grids).

I have such a small piece to do and the counted cross stitch was beyond me but I like your explanation of this method to save time…of course it helps to have table clamps or lap stand to hold your work. It’s nice to not have to keep turning to the back to end threads. Do you have all threads on a needle? Wow! Thank you for encouraging us to find our way with your interpretation of the parking method. It seems simpler already! 🙏🏽🙋🏻‍♀️👍🏽 Mia

Thank you! This is the first tutorial I've seen with an explanation of why you would use the parking method. Since I don't do full coverage pieces, it never made any sense to me at all!

This method might help me with my cross stitch as I quite often make mistakes as I’ve miscounted stitches because they’re too far away. Doing blocks like this eliminates that problem.

It's so smart that you fold your pattern to the exact column you're working on. That will help me keep my place more easily when I'm doing normal stitching. May I ask what kind of thread you're using? It looks high quality!

Very clear explanation of parking, however I have very similar colored threads and I would not know which was which, so I don't feel I can do this.

Hello Marie, thank you so much for this well explained tutorial for the parking method. I'm cross stitching for about a month and I'm excited to learn new methodical methods and also the names of them (in the past I was using the Danish method without knowing it is called like that!). This parking method would helped me with some of my miscounting issues, that I needed to start anew after messing up... Even tho I gridding my cloth but the patterns varies so many times, like 10x10 boxes, some even with 5x5 boxes, or different starting points, like in the middle counting as 0 or on the left top corner, that was very confusing to me. Country Stitching still looks very good combinable, as you have shown! So I will try to use the parking method in the future. There is still one question left for me, maybe it might seems strange or unimportant to others but... How long is the thread you are using? I precutted some of my skeins on arms length, as some recommend, that helped me not to tangle my threads but it seems, that the thread you are using is longer than that? Thank you in advance and happy stitching!
