Hi Nerissa, I just found your channel and WOW! What beautiful samplers you are stitching. I’m going to watch the rest of your episodes and you might address this question in one of them, but how do you handle large pieces of fabric when you’re stitching? Do you stitch in hand or in a hoop or frame of some sort? I’d love to stitch a large sampler but am hesitant because of the amount of fabric to handle. Thank you, Suzette
Hi there from Vermont, USA! I love everything about your Flosstubes! Listening to your accent is glorious and seeing all the cuteness of your your cat and tree are fun to look at while you share. Most importantly though, I ADORE your stitching!!! You are one of the most prolific stitchers I have EVER seen! I also love to stitch samplers! I have stitched many ornaments in the past, as well as many, many other fun patterns over the past 50 years. Questions…Do you stitch 2 over 2 on your favorite 40 count? Could you please include the color of every fabric you show? I love all of your choices! Do you stitch free hand or in a frame? Do you stab and stitch, stitch with two hands or stitch with the sewing method? How many hours a day do you typically stitch? Do you work from a paper pattern and cross off as you go or do you use some sort of pattern software? Anyway, as I said, all your stitching is wonderful and draw-dropping to see! Thank you for all the inspiration you share and add to our community!!!
Thank you for watching. I have been stitching for just over 42 years. I love it all. I stitch 1 over 2 on my 40 count fabric. I found that 2 over 2 was way to bulky. Stitchers were squashed together. When I know that names of the fabric I try to remember to say what I am using. I use paper patterns, on more complex patterns , I will photo copy and mark off as I go . But mostly I just follow the pattern, counting twice before stitching each time. Happy stitching, Nerissa

Wow. You do like huge samplers. Carol Saltbox Stitcher recommended you. Look forward to watching many more. Your stitching is gorgeous. Your cat is very sweet.
Carol "The Saltbox Stitcher" shouted you out and so I decided to start from the beginning. I am from Virginia and I love, love, love your accent. You have some absolutely beautiful projects going! Do you stitch in hand? I hope you do a video on dyeing your fabric. Looking forward to following along on your stitching journey!
Wowzers you blew your first flosstube video out the water so to speak, your stitching is gorgeous, definitely on my radar, subscribed immediately and nice to watch someone a little closer to home ❤
Ohhh, my gosh that sampler is Huge!!! I love it!! I hadn't seen anyone working on that!! It's going to be an amazing finish!! I mostly work on reproduction samplers!! I had in my dining room an entire wall and then it spilled into every room!!!! Consider the Lillies is in my list!! That's another beautiful stitch!! Stitching is my therapy!! I've missed alot of time stitching here lately. One thing is that there is no local shop and that makes getting some supplies very difficult!! I didn't notice your baby until I saw it's tail move!!! LOL!!!!! I love my babies!! I enjoyed your flosstube!! You did good!!! Happy stitching!!! Barbara
Love your floss tube! I started The Rose Wreath, got a lot done on it. Then I saw that it had some over one, so I am starting it over. I was using aida 18 count. Love yours!
Just found you today and need to say... I am stunned! All those beautiful samplers (some I've never seen before).... and all those ornaments and samplers in the background! You're amazing!!! Definitely subscribed! All the best from Germany, stay safe and healthy :)
I was told about your channel by The Virginia Stitcher. I'm thrilled she sent me your way. Of course, I love your stitching, beautiful, and prolific. I'm glad to meet ya, Robin 😊
Lots of my favourites. Some of those samplers are huge. I’m stitching the HATS little gems as now I’m retired I’m learning to stitch on linen for the first time. I returned to cross stitch early this year after a gap of 20+ years and only ever stitching a few simple kits on aida. I’m currently up to 40 count linen and now need the magnifying glass 🤣🤣. Thanks for sharing your lovely inspirational needlework.

Hi Nerissa. Your stitching is absolutely beautiful! I am enjoying your flosstube so much, I love your accent! You have such gorgeous samplers to stitch. Thank you for sharing all of your work!!♥️
Your samplers are gorgeous! Salt Box Stitcher recommended you and she was right- you are amazing! And you have a lovely cat friend who I’m sure keeps you company while you stitch. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful work.
Hi Nerissa, nice to meet you thanks to Carol, Saltbox Stitcher. Your projects are gorgeous - I look forward to seeing your next video. My family had the great fortune to visit New Zealand back in the 90s and loved every minute we spent in your gorgeous country. Happy New Year from Pennsylvania, USA!
Well Done on your first FlossTube. I am looking forward to seeing more of your stitching and learning more about you.😊. Sweet and well behaved companion there in the background. Please introduce her next time.👏🏻
I found you by hearing the shout out by Carol (Saltbox Stitcher)… your samplers are amazing…I will be looking forward to seeing your next video…I live in Illinois in the summer and Florida in the winter. Happy stitching and thanks for sharing!
Oh my stars - you don't mess around - those samplers are big and GORGEOUS! Thank you to Brenda and the Serial Starter (Laura) for shouting you out. Your stitching is beautiful and I want to put your cat in my pocket. What a beauty. Great first flosstube, I'm excited to get to know you more and see your progress. What is the name of the sampler over your shoulder? and the smaller one leaning? It's stunning.Oh, yes, yes, a finished pieces parade. Welcome and happy stitching!!
I heard you mentioned on a Floss Tube today and was going to watch your latest video. Decided to start at the first. Hope I can get caught up soon. Love your samplers!
Fabulous first video. So many beautiful works of art you are working on. The tree is decorated beautifully and the sneak peek of hanging works look splendid. Please make another video, you work is inspiring.
OMG. You literally do Big As Projects. Gorgeous stitching. Love your tree. I love doing up my corner window with Christmas decorations. Just makes my heart sing. Awesome video.
Gorgeous work well done looking forward to your next flosstube Also will you share the name of the sampler above your head Beautiful border Thanking you
Lovely first video and lovely projects. You have a beautiful backdrop, especially with the cat in the background... although I was glad when the cat moved as I was keen to see more of the lovely barn that he/she was lying in front of. Your tree full of beautiful stitched ornaments is inspirational. I have set myself a goal to try and stitch some Christmas ornaments this year as I have seen so many lovely trees with handmade ornaments on flosstube and the NZ Cross Stitch Facegroup group that I want to hopefully have a few to put up come Christmas 2023.
I really enjoyed your first Flosstube video. Your stitching is very beautiful and I love your gorgeous kitty in the background. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Take care.
What fabulous projects, Nerissa! I love them all and can't wait to see more. I, too, love stitching samplers but I stitch them on scroll rods which means I can't start a new one until I have a set of rods emptied. I have lots of rods in different sizes, but I cannot have as many samplers on the go as you do. I just can't get comfortable stitching in hand, though I am trying to stitch some smalls in hand right now. I am American, but lived in NZ for a few years and was very happy there. I lived west of Auckland, but traveled all over N and S island. I look forward to your future flosstubes and started following you on Instagram. Happy New Year!
