Welcome back to my channel and a tutorial about the sewing method. I hope you all manage to understand and are able to follow along. Thankyou for watching, take care and I will see you in the next video ❤️🤗
Hi, i have been x-stitching since i was a little girl. And I had never seen front stitching like this til this last year. It looks like its a faster way of stitching (I hope) anyway thank you for taking the time to show us how to do it!
EXACTLY!!! I wasn't even looking for that. I saw someone do it and I wanted to learn how to start like that BUT for today I was just looking for more info on the sewing method and them Bam!!! Bonus!!!! so excited!!
I'm so glad your channel came across my feed. I've not finished a cross stitch project because it takes me so long to do a line. You're the first person to explain the sew method. Thank you Thank you!!
Very helpful ... I am starting a really large cross stitch ... this should help speed things up. Are there any secrets for sewing in the end? I like this because it keeps the back of the work looking neat and tidy at the start .... but what about ending? Any tricks? Thanks again, Jack ... from Ottawa, Canada.
Thankyou. If you watch vipcrossstitch on tik tok they always tuck the end behind some stitches on the front. I have done it a couple of times and it doesn't look too bad actually. Worth a try
The first stitch you make is called a pin stitch. I leave the tail of thread on the underneath of the work and trim it, rather than over stitch it. Lovely video.
Did you come up with this particular type of cross stitch & has it got a name? I enjoyed watching it, but it looks harder & more confusing than the usual way to cross stitch. I guess I’m too old to learn a new way!
No, there's a few videos on RU-vid about it. It is just referred to as the sewing method. I only do this method on my 11 count stamped kits, it's not so easy on the 14/16/18 count and above
@@A_World_of_Stitches I can see why it would be harder on 14 count & above. Thanks for replying. Do you have a preference as to counted cross stitch or stamped? I’ve never tried the stamped kit, nor have I tried 11 count. I’m thinking both might be easier bc of my poor eyesight.
@@elaineweinbrenner7457 if I'm honest I love the detail in a counted piece and watching it come to life as you stitch. I love the stamped kits because they're easy to work on, no counting. The only thing is you have to be careful of the details, like faces. Counted will always be my favourite. If you're unsure a few of the websites have reviews where people show some of the pieces finished.
I like the concept. But this is awful. Always having to toss the thread over. And the start is clearly a struggle. Thanks for the video. Gives me an idea.
It's the fabric count that makes it easier, not the fact it's printed. I personally find 11 and 14 count are the only ones I can use this method on. There maybe people that can and do use it for regular cross stitch.
Printing definitely stiffens the fabric, a printed 14 ct feels completely different to a piece of 14 ct aida. It's harder to keep the tension right when the fabric isn't as stiff.
heey, i started doing this method automatically when i started cross stiching those pictures, i just noticed that my crosses look a bit... thin? i can see the colour of the picture underneath or many white spots etc. Am i doing something wrong? i checked 20x if mine is definitely 3 strands (it is, it's 11CT) but i thought it has to look a bit different.. Do you know what i am doing wrong?
I have heard a few people say that the threads don't cover properly. I don't think I have any problems like that. Some people use 6 strands and do half stitches instead. I don't think you're doing anything wrong, honestly x
thank you for your reply!! yea that's what i thought. But to be honest. using 6 instead would be annoying because then i would need to reorder the colours i need... 😭but ill try 6 and see if that works better@@A_World_of_Stitches
Hello, it's better to make all stitch in one direction? Coz i stitch it make it cross each other not like you doin Need opinion from others, coz i dont have circle for to do cross stitch, and i'm guy btw Thanks
It is totally upto you how you do the stitches as long as the top half is always facing the same way as all the others. Some people prefer to stitch each stitch individually instead of how I'm doing it. Either way is fine. Hope this answers your question!
@christinemunro5644 I don't work one grid at a time no I just follow the stitches wherever they are until my thread runs out. If they are spread out I work one full cross at a time and jump to wherever the next one is.
