FLOSSTUBEVERSITY - How to Bead a Mirabilia
Recently I have been building a playlist for those wanting to experience stitching a Mirabilia pattern but may have been intimidated by the process or perhaps an experienced stitcher who wants to learn some new tips and tricks. There are 2 main videos releasing May 01 and May 15 (in celebration of Miramay) which introduce the designer Nora Corbett and cover everything from how to choose your first pattern, considerations, floss organization and tips and tricks we have come across over the last 25 years. Additionally, there was a new release this week on How to Bead a Mirabilia and next week we will film How to Convert Mirabilia skin from 2x2 to 1x1
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for your time, you truly make all this possible.
❤️A.

I love watching your videos! Your voice is so calming, which is great after a hectic day at work! I just purchased my first Mirabilia, which is the Sea Merchants Wife. This Mermaid Mirabilia would be a perfect pair for it! I returned to cross stitching after 34 years. I’m absolutely loving it! Thanks for all of your tips and advice! Happy Miramay!

Great flosstube….love the mermaid. I just did the exact 123 thing today. Ordered petal fairy then went to see what fabrics they had as I didn’t want the called for…..but something different, clicked away to PayPal and when I checked my order I’ll be getting two petal fairies!

My experience too with white and light yellow, even though I like it as a colour, is really not good. It's like they refuse to lay flat. Even when I "railroad" cross stitch, I mean using this method where you place your needle between the two threads when you are stitching, even then they refuse to lay totally flat! I guess the threads change depending on the colour they dye them or something! Like the black yarn feels always thinner etc. The Wichelt is stiffer than other linens but I think that is actually helping with the stitches to lay flat easier and, I assume because I haven't done it yet, the beading and they definitely look beautiful! Thanks for reading the Mirabella back round story! It's always nice to connect a myth/story with a design and the materials for your mermaid, (I know I am late for the giveaway but that's OK), look very, very pretty! Till your new video 🥰🧜‍♀🧵🪡
@FibersandFlossCanada
@FibersandFlossCanada 4 месяца назад
Oh you are not too late! Good luck in the draw :) I feel you are right though, I definitely think the dying process plays a role in some of the floss, I do notice that the white and the black tend to be thinner than the other colours and always have that way… but who knows lol. happy stitching 🧵🪡

Haha I can appreciate your feelings on the #8. I know Samantha said the same with her mermaid of pearls but at the end of the day she is happy she stuck with it bc the braid has such a presence in the piece. Happy stitching this weekend and good luck with the draw!

How frustrating the Fairy Idyll is really beautiful, I feel your pain with the #8 Krienik, it’s in the Dragon Heart (#yearofthedragonsal 🐉) and is like stitching with barbed wire, worse if you have to frog it! My granddaughter loves a mermaid and I would love to stitch it for her Take care Arica, I hope you find more comfort stitching for the remainder of Miramay Kind regards W

Hello. I enjoyed your video. Fairy Idyll is so beautiful ❤ your bee looks amazing. How will you fully finish it? Oh what a stunning mermaid you have, I stitched a mirabilia called deepest love. The colors in this one are just stunning. Sounds like getting all the beads together might be somewhat of a treasure hunt. One might need the gold at the end to buy them all, but then mermaids deserve pretty shiny things😊

Back when I was stitching a lot and part of various bulletin boards ( pre-RU-vid ) there was a lot of griping from members about Nora Corbett's obsession with yellow. I did plug along with Spring Queen about partway. Then I gave her away to a friend. I don't really love those light yellows.
@FibersandFlossCanada
@FibersandFlossCanada 4 месяца назад
I can agree with that! Tho in interviews Nora said she doesn’t have a favourite color and uses the color palette evenly (but I see A LOT of yellow dresses out there! Ha). Anyways, thanks for tuning in again and I look forward to meeting you in a couple weeks :))

I really enjoyed your video on beading. I had no idea that there are so many different ways to sew the beads on. I have learned a lot from your videos.

Wonderful! that’s awesome! I’m so excited for you. I have to say, the bee and butterfly have a lot of kreinik and beads so it’s not a true reflection of what stitching her pieces are like however, they are cute and fun and if you want to give Kreinik and beads a go it is perfect!

Great video. I have had blackbeards princess kitted for ages. I am starting enchanted this weekend. I think she should have called this one the queen. I have had the same experience with #8 braid on the kiss. I decided to do #4 on the dress and such and used the #8 on the frame around. It gave it nice depth.
@FibersandFlossCanada
@FibersandFlossCanada 4 месяца назад
Thank you so much and for sharing your time with me. Yes I agree k think the #8 would be great for a border and here and there. But when stitched along another #8 it looks a bit messy for my liking, oh well tho, I’m not ripping it out now, maybe later? Haha. Happy stitching!

The gold braid looks like beads - look at it again from the distance of the wall - maybe it is not so bad. How about outlining the frog in a dark green - an almost black green.

Your Mira May videos with Sam gave me the courage to FINALLY start my very first Mira.

I'm working on Mirabilia Ophelia, and I'm OBSESSED with it. It looks like it's stitched on the same green called for fabric as this mermaid, which I'd love to stitch one day

They were so fantastic and full of such helpful info, the love and passion you both have for these designs was so infectious. I am currently working on my first Mira, Cathedral Woods Goddess, and am a little nervous about beading, so your video was hugely helpful. Also loved the tip about pre washing and pre ironing your fabric. I have never thought to do that (only afterwards) and definitely will moving forward ☺️

Hi, I’ve been binge watching your videos and I’m really enjoying them. I do have a question. Earlier in another video you mentioned that on Royal Games for those who don’t enjoy stitching from the middle upwards that all one had to do was place your pattern upside down and that it works that way. Do we also place our fabric upside down? Would it be possible for you to demonstrate in your next video and show exactly how to do it by showing actually how you flip the pattern and piece you’re stitching on? I’m hoping I am making sense. Thank you and now to go finish watching the rest of your videos.
@FibersandFlossCanada
@FibersandFlossCanada 3 месяца назад
Thank you so much for tuning in and binging all the things ha! That’s a great question - yes, you turn both your pattern and your fabric upside down. I know it seems like it wouldn’t work but it does. Just rotate both your piece and your pattern 180 degrees and keep stitching! Your crosses will lay the same way and it’s so much easier have the flow of stitches moving down rather than up! Happy stitching :)

@loritingelstad8348 4 месяца назад
@@FibersandFlossCanada yes, twisted and not neat “X” ‘s like yours. I ripped it out because the over dyed silk (water portion) was too blocky looking. Restarted using loop method to cut out some heavy variegation, stitched in long rows instead of columns and tried not pulling so tight on my stitches (tension is tricky stitching in hand) I’m liking it much better but still not quite as neat as yours. Do you railroad every stitch?

@@loritingelstad8348 never railroaded in my life lol - I don’t have patience for that. If I’m struggling with messy stitches in hand, I will use a frame. I keep threads to a working length of 18” and allow the needle to dangle every once in awhile to reduce twist and if I need to do that often I will slide the eye do the needle right to the base of the last stitch, then separate the threads then put them back together and slide the eye of the needle back up to just over half way - does that make sense?
