Just an absolutely wonderful video! The history behind the fibers and tools we modern day fiber artisans use is fascinating. I love many forms of stitching but I also make bobbin lace. It never ceases to amaze me how much what we call a “hobby” today is tied up to the growth of industry and trade throughout the ages. Thank you so very much for taking the time to present an overall introduction to the fabrics and threads all of us love to work with! I can’t wait for your next Come Learn With Me!

Belfast is in Northern Ireland, Edinburgh is in Scotland.

@antiqueneedleworkers Месяц назад

Yes that is correct- I had so many notes and so much information I wanted to cover I misspoke a few things - when I was editing I literally wanted to scream when I said 28 ct was Belfast - all I could do was put the insert above my head to make the correction or I would have had to refill the whole video.

This was one of the best flosstubes I have ever watched!! I learned so much about our wonderful craft. Thank you so much for taking the time to do these fabulous videos. I have a special affinity to this type of information because my grandmother and other ancestors came down from Canada many, many years ago and became weavers and spinners in the textile factories in Massachusetts. I'm sure it was a hard life, as many of them left school in the 6th or 7th grade and worked as young people in these mills. Of course, because of their hard work, I now get to sit and relax all day (since I am retired) and stitch all of the beautiful things! Thanks again for being so generous with your time and talent.🌷🌷🫖🫖🌺🌺

@kellyjones5282 Месяц назад

I know these videos take alot of work and time but lady they are so valuable to so many of us. I’ve been stitching since the eighties and all I have to say is yes, we can teach this old dog new tricks!

@staceyoleary6005 Месяц назад

I’m so thankful for all your information. It can’t be easy to put yourself in front of a bazillion people. You are a natural teacher thanks again I’ll be watching this many times.

Shellie, I have literally been stitching forever. Hand embroidery is my passion. Your presentation will encourage young and old stitchers to try new fabrics and threads. Thank you so very much, Nancy 🪡🧵🪡

I live in Derbyshire, Uk and I’m only about 30 mins drive away from Cromford which has got Arkwright’s Mill. Every time I pass through there, or go for a walk down Cromford canal, I always feel a sense of history of what was created in that area - it’s such a pretty part of the Peak District and it’s really known for its nature now, and yet it was at the very heart of the Industrial Revolution xx

Thank you soo much Kathleen!! I get so excited talking about all these things we love, I definitely will have to make an addendum next video, I reversed a few facts in all the excitement. I appreciate you watching ❤️

@nancyevans7609 Месяц назад

This video was so fascinating with your drop spindles which I had never known about and your history of linen and thread production from early to Industrial Revolution times. I could just hear your enthusiasm for the materials we use today and how to care for them. Thank you very much for all the work it took to do this for your community of stitchers. We appreciate everything you are teaching us, never too old to learn something new. I’m now waxing my cotton threads because of your teaching and I’m loving how it behaves.❤️😀

@sheriking4041 Месяц назад

I started stitching 30+ years ago on Aida from kits and whatever I could get in craft stores. Then I came back to stitching in 2020 and everything had changed with the internet. Flosstube , dyed fabrics and floss, ordering online, etc. I started on Aida of course, but wanted to stitch on linen because I loved the reproduction samplers. So because I could stitch on 16 count Aida I started with 32 count linen, when I was comfortable with that I moved up to 36 count And now my favorite fabric for large projects is 46 count. I will probably stop there because I don’t want to get into specialty thin threads.

Thank you so much for the information and taking the time to share the history of how cloth and thread was made. We lose sight of the time, effort, and know how which those who lived in the 1700 & 1800 possessed in order to produce cloth and thread. It makes me appreciate the antique needle work that I see in shops even more.

@marygorden2334 Месяц назад

Hi, Shellie! “I’m a linen girl!” That’s me! 36 and 40 are my favorites too. You’re an absolute gem in the stitching community. I love your spirit and passion for all things needlework. Thank you for blessing us with your knowledge.

@kimberlystrickland4101 Месяц назад

Good job! Too funny, in the 80’s everyone taught starting in the middle.

@antiqueneedleworkers Месяц назад

That’s how was taught

@ragathnor326 Месяц назад

Great video and thanks to you for making it. Just wanted to clarify that the term evenweave refers to any fabric that has the same number of threads weft and warp, per inch. Not necessarily refers to how fine or consistent the threads are. Of course the higher the counter the finer or consistent the thread needs to be just to keep the spacing correct. Buyer be ware as some linen ,marketed for needlework is uneven weave...learned that the hard way. As far as stiffness goes, one can wash the fabric to get rid of sizing to make it more pliable for stitching in hand. I liked your review of the threads. I had no idea the flower threads were back. ❤

Spectacular presentation in all its particulars, Shellie! Thank you!!!

Oh Shellie! My hand has cramps from making notes of all the things you taught me today!! I feel like I’ve been to a workshop right in my own home! I’m sure I will go back again and again to refresh the knowledge. I especially enjoyed the linen+ section as all the different types and sizes have kept me from buyer and experiencing. It was amazing! What a great flosstube-YOU ROCK! Molly from Texas

@robinbunis6792 Месяц назад

Once again Shellie you knocked it out of the park! Fabric has always been a mystery to me. I never know how many strands over how many threads which is why I always stitch my patterns as suggested by the designer. Thanks for a great tutorial. Please keep em coming.

@Devetta14 Месяц назад

Thank you Shellie for taking the time and all the amazing products and all the history which is so fascinating to me. It is so helpful and also letting us know some of your favorite things to use. You just don’t know how helpful you are to us. I know I appreciate all that you do in your Floss Tube videos. I have come a long way since I’ve started stitching a little over a year ago. I wish I would’ve gotten the stitching bug sooner. And now I’m interested in doing other things I’m going to make my own project bags I’m stitching some pin keep pillows that I want to do for the first time cause I see so many I want to do. I have some big projects but I want to do something smaller to get a quicker finish for satisfying feel of a finish. So thank you so much and keep up all your wonderful work ❤️❤️❤️🙂🙂🙂

@conniegivens5102 Месяц назад

Oh. My. Goodness!!!! So much information! I've stitched for years but have generally stayed in my comfort area. I had always stitched on 14 count Aida until a few months ago when I moved to 28 and now 32 count linen. I'm wanting to try the Flower floss and really need to buy the thread cutting board. You have answered so many questions and I'm excited about trying more "new" products. I wish I could spend the day with you. Blessings! 😊

Oh Shellie what a wonderful,informative episode! I got tickled when you talked about starting your stitching in the middle! I’m OLD school. That’s where I was taught to begin so it’s ingrained in my brain! lol! Really enjoyed your talk about all the things! Thank you!

@albertacontee3530 Месяц назад

Hi Shelly, Thank you for the session of "Come Learn with me." So, so much great information shared about linens, aida, fibers and threads. Knew a lot already, but still learned a couple of new facts. It's so nice to be a lifelong leaner of new stuff when it comes to cross-stitching. I really do enjoy stitching; it can be so relaxing. Keep stitching and I'm looking forward to continuing to watch your channel. Be blessed. Alberta from Southern, MD.......😊😊😊

@auraperez6156 Месяц назад

@andreaelsworth557 Месяц назад

What a great video! I'm returning to cross stitch after many years and have been watching lots of floss tube videos. The information here has helped me understand so much about the terminology used in the videos. I'm in England, so can't get hold of a lot of the goodies, but with your information it makes it easier to swap between threads and materials and also helps me get more from floss tube. Thank you so much for your time and for going to the trouble to make it easier to understand. You are very talented ⭐🩷

This was so informative I think I will try linen it does not seem so scary

@julieheudebourck Месяц назад

If anyone is visiting Northern Ireland they can visit the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum and go to one of the cottages and watch the linen being woven in real time . I was very lucky to get a piece of this linen. I believe you can buy it in the shop in the museum. They also do courses in teaching weaving of the linen.

@pattygoza4013 Месяц назад

Shellie, I did a double take while watching the opening segment of your video...I have the exact same Singer stained glass sign! Please keep making these teaching videos. I learn so much. You are such a thoughtful and talented teacher!

@antiqueneedleworkers Месяц назад

Thank you

@gigijordan6888 Месяц назад

This was such a fun and informative video. I have never done a cross stitch piece but have done needlepoint since the 70s and was so excited to learn that you also do needlepoint. I am trying to decide if I want to pick up a cross stitch piece but may continue being satisfied incorporating cross stitching into my needlepoint. At any rate I will watch your videos while I stitch.

I started with a drop spindle 30 years ago, then of course spinning wheels, now I have a Hansen electric spinner (I still have my treadle wheel) because of the arthritis in my feet - I’m always amazed at the amount of time and work that went into what we take for granted today ❤

Very informative. Thank you ! I’m so happy you showed your PS Santa. I saw it some time ago and wanted to do one on the same fabric. I love the rustic look of it. I took mental note. Mistake. When I finally got a PS Santa pattern, I couldn’t remember the fabric or which FT I saw it on 😢. I had done research and found this fabric and some others but wasn’t sure which one. I took written notes this time. 😊 😂

@rhondazamora8136 Месяц назад

I am old school and still start projects in the middle. That was how I was taught and it gives me anxiety to try to start in a corner. I am so afraid of not measuring correctly. I have noticed the corner gauges on social media but had no idea what they were. Thank you for the explanation. I love all the thread options. I would love to buy all the Sulky Petites. I also enjoy the Valadini threads. All of the thread holders are so pretty, too. Gosh, there are so many cool tools. Great video. So much information! I will be watching this video multiple times. Thanks so much!

@alicepark2051 Месяц назад

Excellent explanation of linen and adia! Love it!

@daphne4875 Месяц назад

For stitchers like me who may not have mega stashes of fabric, i give mine a good pressing, make sure I have an identification label in lower right corner and hang them up in a closet, using the skirt hangers with metal clips. Also, sorting them in count sizes makes it much easier to find what I'm looking for. P.S. You are tempting me to try out some of the Flower Threads! My sincere condolences on your having to put your sewing area back in order😢

@CoastalNC Месяц назад

Hey Shellie, I have been stitching 40 years and I am never too experienced to know everything and always eager to look at new ways of doing things. I havent been educated about how different linens got there names but my guess is the linen creators created their own industry standards and it probably helped keep a steady supply of different counts, so all 32 counts came from one town , etc. I know in the cheese world that a cheddar cheese was called cheddar because of a specific area it was made in and if another area made exactly the same style and tasted the same they couldnt call it cheddar. Some wines are the same. Also, there is a good youtube video on linen . Look forward to your next video as always.

@rebeccajourney3183 Месяц назад

You are awesome, thank you❤

@darlenewiebe7577 Месяц назад

Wowsa! That was amazing! Although I considered myself reasonably well educated about all the things this was very enlightening! Thank you so much! I will most definitely be referring back to this video again and again. I enjoyed the lesson of how thread was made in the 1730 and forward. Wow!
