Welcome to my Flosstube channel, where I talk about cross stitch, sewing and other related crafts. I may detour into discussions about bees or dogs and unsolicited safety tips. Enjoy!

What an amazing find!! Love your new sewing machine!! And your sewing box!! And your intro with Jacob! And your bees! Gorgeous WIPs and haul! Thanks Jodi and happy stitching.

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Thank you Wanda, happy stitching to you as well! : )

@periwinklefloss 3 года назад

I think it's so amazing (and awesome) that bees just showed up in your yard!! 🐝🐝🐝

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Right?! There is an awesome book I've been listening to while stitching lately called Honeybee Democracy by Thomas Seeley. It's about how bees decide when to swarm and where to move once they do. Remarkable stuff. Some of his lectures are on YT, highly recommend. :)

@jennistitchingsimply 3 года назад

Hi Jodi! BEST INTRO EVER!!!! :) It was so nice to meet Bette! What an awesome find!!! Your pieces are looking amazing! ... and you rescued the bees!!! What can't you do??!!! Thanks for another great video!

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Hi Jenni! Thanks so much for watching, I am a lucky girl this month for sure. : ) (I saw you have a new video up too but was at work and want it to get my full attention!)

@cathylounsbury7707 3 года назад

Great video! Love the bees, keep ‘em coming! Great find in the Singer and the sewing box! Nice ZZ Top reference, too. 🤣. Your stitching is stellar and great new haul! Happy stitching til next time!!! 🌞🌼🌸🌺🐝🐝🐝🌳🐇🥕🍄🧵🪡💕💕💕

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Thanks Cathy! I can't resist a good ZZ Top shout out. Happy stitching to you too!

@karendavis-macon9658 3 года назад

Great intro music by Jacob and art by your Dad!! Thanks for the great reminder to move after 30 minutes...I try!! Feather weight is BEAUTIFUL...CONGRATULATIONS!! Love your videos!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2021!!

I probably say this every time, but, you have quickly become one of my top flosstubers! Love your humor, can do attitude about stitching, and lots more. Anyway, … Animal Scientist vs wildlife Biologist, in brief. I have a PhD, and PostDoc, and lots of eclectic training thrown in, so my perspective is likely different. I was also not born and bred into the profession. I am a biologist that is very practical and work with farmers and mainly dairy cattle. I have a deep background in diseases and math associated with disease. I help farmers pinpoint causes of mastitis (disease of the Udder, mainly caused by bacteria) and help to resolve those causes which improves quality of milk produced. If I had been a Wildlife Biologist, I also would have spent lots of time outdoors but studying wildlife habitats and behavior and environmental influences. Hopefully that helps. I love science and how things work, including bacteria. Thanks Jody for enabling me again (although my credit cards are not happy). This time with Heartstrings Samplery. Last time it was the littles and a lot more than the specific designs you mentioned. See my Instagram for my sewing box acquisitions… Love yours!! Also, man, I’m so envious of your machine acquisition!! Also love your intro!! Ok. Done for now with all my gushing. 🤭. I have no idea what that emoji means, but seemed appropriate. Oops forgot to mention, I love French Needle and am constantly buying books and kits from her shop!!

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Love the explanation! Thank you so much for all the kind words and sorry/not sorry for the Heartstrings Samplery enabling 😃. They really are lovely little kits. Thank you again for watching, I really am grateful for all of you (do I have regulars now?!). ❤️

@joannebeaudry3122 3 года назад

Epic video .. from the excellent intro (super cute .. well done Jacob!) to your great storytelling, thoroughly enjoyed it!!! Congrats on the shopping treasure finds .. I would be very interested in a bee update.

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Thank you Joanne, I appreciate your kind comment. I am working on the best way to do a little bit of bee footage, they really are so sweet.

@tanyawilson853 3 года назад

Love your Singer machine. So exciting! I would enjoy seeing a video of your bees.

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Thanks Tanya!

@khayes9591 3 года назад

Flosstube #5 and you have a theme song from Jacob! You hit the scene hard and that's awesome! Love your videos!

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Thank you so much for watching (and right? how kind of him to make such a sweet and happy jingle!!).

@deanalenkner6024 3 года назад

I'm new to your channel and really loved seeing your stitching. Your G.Leger is stunning. I would love to stitch that piece. Every time I see it it pulls me closer. What a story of your new Singer - what a find!!! You are a jewel!

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Thank you Deana and welcome!

@padmarubiales5184 3 года назад

You are so lucky to get an intro from Jacob! Very entertaining, love the comics with the cartoon theme! I’m so glad you retained those comics from childhood. In your review of your last episode talk about Singer sewing machines, I remembered why I laughed about it last time! You describe Singers as having straight stitches. I have never met a sewing machine that couldn’t do a straight stitch! That comment had me in stitches! 😂 Love your talk about vintage shops, reuse places, and vintage shopping. Always fun for me!

@padmarubiales5184 3 года назад

Oh my gosh you got a beautiful singer for next to nothing! I am so jealous! Not that I don’t already have three singer machines, but nothing old and beautiful like that. What a find! Can’t wait to see how you like it. I think it was a Misty Purcell who bought an antique Singer and cleaned and repaired it herself watching RU-vid tutorials.Oh my gosh… Another incredible find with that sewing box! It looks like Jacob’s sewing box. Wow! You must have good karma to luck 🍀 into all these wonderful things! 😁 Congratulations on your wonderful growing collection! OK, I just went to eBay and bought a wooden sewing box, and it’s all your fault!! 😀 I will put mine on Instagram when I get it. I think it is smaller than yours.

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

I popped in a little note in the vid but the Singer works perfectly. It literally only needed the bobbin case cleared of thread and cleaned. (I was too excited telling to story to even remember to finish that part lol) Yes! Would love to see a photo on Instagram when it arrives!

@margaretyoder3007 3 года назад

You are quite an amazing woman Jody. You have revealed skills we didn’t know you had! From whispering to bees, to rescuing and sleuthing through a Rolls Royce of Singers, to giving a well loved sewing box a new home. We are all better for knowing you through Floss Tube!!!

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

You are far too kind. This was a pretty packed few weeks, I rarely experience this level of 'mega-ness' (lol) but it was fun to tell you all about it.

@bernadettekok4079 3 года назад

Wow, finding that sewing machine, you should’ve played your lotto that day. Gorgeous machine, even though I hate to sew. Your stitching projects are beautiful. Ok enabler, I’m going to press SEND for the G Leger. Love your videos.

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Thank you Bernadette! I have so enjoyed G. Leger, hope you enjoy stitching it as much as I have.

@sewmesarah 3 года назад

Amazing theme tune! Jacob is talented and kind. Yes please to seeing more about the bees and I love your tiny stitching on the seasonal earth Sal.

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Jacob really is the best. I am scheming some bee viewing options. 🧐

@HyggeStitcher 3 года назад

I love your yellow cardigan. Also very much enjoyed your video!

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Thank you very much! I love it too, it is so comfortable. : )

@jasminahigham4268 3 года назад

Your videos are the best.

@lorrainebergstrom9391 3 года назад

You hit the jackpot finding the sewing machine and the sewing box, both are amazing finds, congratulations! Your wips are looking very beautiful. Thank you for another wonderful video.

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Thank you Lorraine! I definitely used a fair bit of my good luck all at once, didn’t I? 🤣

@stitchingcat 3 года назад

For your French Country Crow you can stitch the top leg twice to get more coverage without a lot of excess bulk. Love your G Leger. Beautiful stitching.

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

That is a great idea! I am going to give that a try (and I’m also going to give Sulky a go). This will be my experimental piece! 😊

@kimberlyoboyle451 3 года назад

Wow that is so cool the Singer 201 is a score! I can totally relate to getting excited about that and having everyone else be like ... "ok...".... And you got free bees?! I had bees last year and something happened to them over the winter, there was a lot of honey and comb but they were gone! I live in a rural area in upstate NY. You've had a lucky week!!

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Free bees! I did the first hive inspection on Friday evening and they are doing great, so much so that I added another brood box. They are very sweet bees - even saw the queen. 😍

@DFTBAandDS 3 года назад

I collect and restore vintage Singer sewing machines. I probably have 30 sewing machines (I've lost count), but the 201 (I have 4) is the only one I regularly sew on. The Featherweight is a very nice machine, it has its uses, but imho they are generally overpriced. People seem to fangirl and get all excited and the price goes up accordingly. I only buy if the price is reasonable (currently have two). eta Congrats on your find, and thank you for rescuing a vintage beauty. 👍

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Thank you for the comment, I am so excited to have found such a gem, especially in such an unexpected way. I am looking forward to creating with that amazing machine.

@terrihall3247 3 года назад

Love your projects! You totally enabled me! I was at The Resource Exchange in Philadelphia. They sell reclaimed materials (mostly from movie sets) that would have otherwise ended up in the dump. Lo and behold they just received a Singer 201 in working condition and I just had to buy it. She is beautiful and I can’t wait to sit down and get acquainted with her! I’m calling it my birthday present.

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Reclaimed materials *MOSTLY FROM MOVIE SETS* OMG. That just became a Top 5 Destination when I start traveling again. Congratulations! (I've got the Adjuster's Manual if you run into any speed bumps or questions, feel free to message here or on IG.)

@terrihall3247 3 года назад

@@trixietricycle thanks!

@stitchywitch42 3 года назад

Opening clip....awesome Reclaimed items, years ago they tore down the Senate Building in Salem and my son and I went and dug thru the bricks and have a very rudimentary brick walkway at our house...I had No clue what I was doing. Bette and Betty...2 great ladies/ sewing machines. How kewl are the bees, I know other cross stitchers who keep bees. 💙🖖

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Hi Audrey! You were an OG reclamation specialist!

@cwolf44 3 года назад

Love the new opening!

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Thanks Robin! Jacob is the best (and my Dad’s adorable drawings don’t hurt either 😊).

Thank you Veronica! :)

@FoxyRockyLou 3 года назад

We are very eloquent in the UK obviously lol 😂 take stuff to the tip 🚮 amazing machine and loooove the bees 🐝

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

I actually like that you call it the 'rubbish tip', ours (the 'transfer station') is the least descriptive name for it I can think of. Someone else said it sounds like a bus station for space travel LOL.

@karenjones405 3 года назад

I should play the lottery with you since you had amazing luck. Do the rainbow straps at your house 🙂🙂🙂😉.

@woollywiggle3305 3 года назад

Oh yes please to footage of the bees.

@debramckenzie266 3 года назад

You are so delightful to watch! Thanks for the very entertaining video.

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Aw thank you Debra. I appreciate you watching. :)

@windycitystitchersflosstub8711 3 года назад

Thanks for the video. Great new theme song, wow fun! Hey that g. Leger is so great on that fabric and before you even said it I was right there with you re: the lighting effect of that coral house on the stormy background... there’s an actual term for that lighting in painting but I’ve forgotten it. Looking beautiful. Thx for sharing the heartstring samplery kits - will check those out. Those little by little designs are cute. I just did “Christmas heart”... picked it up from kitten stitcher. Happy stitching! Sara aka janesays8

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Thank you Sara! Now I have to go look that up (the lighting effect in painting). Love learning new stuff like that. : )

@debdeb427 3 года назад

Okay! Watched the intro a couple of times! Bees, Bunnies, and sewing machine! And yes the charts at the end. Ohhh ahhh do I need them? Mmm sure! Thank you for the video. I will stand up and go get that drink of water now🙂

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Thank you Deb! And now that you mention it, I’m up for some water as well. 💙

@nancysneedlework9199 3 года назад

Your G Leger is stunning! Good idea to keep the beautiful coral house. Congrats on your 206😊🎉

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Thank you Nancy. I really do like the house color very much. : )

@jillshipps4306 2 года назад

Love your videos! They really are a GREAT pick me up. I'm having a tough time finding Octopus's Garden out there. Let me know if you've found it anywhere so I can pick one up. Just playing catch up obviously and can't wait to see how they all turn out. I know I can jump ahead but I gotta do stuff in order... just that kinda gal. See ya next time! ~Jill

@trixietricycle 2 года назад

Thank you so much Jill, and let me know on IG if you can't track down Octopus' Garden. And it would be so fun to meet up at Threadneedle Street! I haven't been yet and need to do it. Yay for PNW stitching!

@bobie3330 3 года назад

I am 30 min in your video, and OMG what kind of things "just happened" to you in the last 3 weeks!!!! Congrats on the purchases and the bees. My grandfather used to keep bees and now my cousins have 500-600 hives. One of them is allergic, even more than you :D

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

It was an extraordinary three weeks, wasn't it? And wow, 500-600 hives! I love that beekeeping runs in your family. It is one of those endeavors that you never really know everything about, but people who grew up with bees seem to be the most successful at raising happy, healthy hives.

@crazybandladystitches-xanl5148 3 года назад

Bette Is Awesome!! O M Lord.. that Sewing Box is Amazing!!! 😢😭😢😭

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Xan, aren’t they so special?? I’ve been loving hearing about your fun time at StitchCon, maybe next year I can try to get in. 🤩

@lanelles242 3 года назад

Jody excellent video! Loved intro with “Jacob” how ‘COOL’ are you now.....so enjoyed story of Singer “ Royal Royce “ what a find!!🤩 enjoy now to find a cabinet or 2....lovely stitching as always...take care see ya next time🐝🐝🐝

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Hi LaNelle! Thanks so much for watching (and isn't Jacob just the best?) and saying hi.

@jeannedraper3288 3 года назад

Your opening was AMAZING ❣️❣️❣️ I loved it. CONGRATS on your sewing machine and sewing box finds. Also AMAZING…and a new friend…an added bonus 💜 Your videos are so much fun to watch. Your stitching is gorgeous. Have a great day!!! ~jeanne~

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Jeanne, thank you for saying hi and YES! The best part was meeting such a cool lady and getting to hear about her amazing mom. And to have her entrust a bit of her family history to me was especially meaningful. Happy stitching!

@RC_0669 3 года назад

Loved your new theme song! And what a find in your Singer 201!

@eastcoaststitcher8203 3 года назад

Epic video.

@nancyronaldson2732 3 года назад

I am glad you gave the swarm a safe place to live. Was your wardrobe intentional😂? Bee colours. Enjoy watching you. Thanks

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Hi Nancy! I didn’t even notice that I was wearing bee colors! They are doing great, very busy and calm (and safe). ❤️😊

@stitcherness 3 года назад

Adore the opening theme! Congratulations on the 201 acquisition! The bees are FABULOUS! The stitching is fabulous, too. I have substituted floss colors to represent the cover photo (rather than sticking with the called for). I do think variations occur. Especially with over-dyed flosses. Finally, your “health talk” reminded my of the Tea Party of Alice in Wonderland… “clean cup, move down!” Instead: new floss, stand up! xo

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Thanks Vanessa! I think I will pay more attention to the colors of the original antique samplers and won't hesitate to swap out the called for if needed.

@stitching_geri 3 года назад

Loved the intro ❤️ I sit way too long…good advice! Your new Singer is gorgeous.

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Thank you Geri! I appreciate you watching and saying hi. :)

@texstylust 3 года назад

Congratulations on the 201! How exciting, that really is a spectacular find. Don’t be surprised if more unexpected lovelies show up in your life. Just like the bees, vintage sewing machines tend to gravitate to people who love them (ask me how I know). If you haven’t found it already, the ISMACs site can give you tons of information regarding your Singer and also the White. You can even find the cabinet numbers that will fit. Best of luck on your cabinet search for the White!

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Hi Lori! Thank you so much. I think ISMACs is the site that I used to look up the serial number on my machine to find the manufacture date and to confirm the model. The White 764 is identical to my Mom's sewing machine (and as such the machine I learned to sew on). I really appreciate you watching and I've just wandered over to your channel and will be watching your mini-series. (Your backdrop is beautiful!)

@hill8018 3 года назад

Delightful as usual. Loved the story of sharing your sewing machine with your husband and the complete lack of understanding the magnitude of your find. Recommendation if 1 thread is too sparse and two is too thick is Sulky thread. It’s like 1 and 1/2 DMC threads. Have fun!!

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

To be fair, he is usually just as stoked as I am at any and all machinery. But yeah I hadn't provided him much context and so his reaction was priceless LOL. Sulky is a GREAT idea for the French Country Crow chart - I'm going to try it.

@LouXstitchAficionado 3 года назад

If my son was younger, like preteen, he’d say you were so cool. Heck, I think you’re cool… bee keeping, maintaining a Singer 201, and so aptly naming your sewing machines…. But what tops it for me, you have Jacob singing for your floss tube and the classical thread box…. Jacob has one, but yours is fully kitted up…OMG, I also lost my mind. You got me laughing so hard, I always look forward to your next visit. Meanwhile, cheers for now, safe and happy stitching from Eastern 🍁 Canada 🇨🇦

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Thanks Louise! It's hard to absorb all of the awesomeness of the theme jingle that Jacob wrote and performed. You are right - it tops the list of cool stuff. : )

@periwinklestitcher 3 года назад

Your G Leger and your haul is absolutely stunning - great choice! I have a vintage Singer but she's not quite as old as yours - my Edie (named after and inherited from my granny) looks very similar but is 1957 so she is only 64 years old ;) have a great few weeks stitching with love from Wales!

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Edie! Such a good machine (and Granny) name. I love that, Sian. Thanks so much and happy stitching to you too!

@teriherrell6354 3 года назад

I absolutely loved your G Leger Jody. Is that a picture this plus “haunted” fabric? My mom had a Singer sewing machine just like the one in your video, exact same case and all. 😉

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

Hi Teri! Yes, it's 36 count Haunted linen by PTP. I'm really enjoying stitching on it.

Just paused your video to comment on my kids reaction to Disney’s Beauty & the Beast. When Gaston falls to his bloody death from the top of the castle, I was at the ready to see how my kids would react. Aged 5 & 6, they both called out unanimously, “bub-bye”. ?!?!?! I burst out laughing! I mean, are they resilient or psychopaths?!?!?!

@trixietricycle 3 года назад

LOL Was he the villain? Either way the simultaneous 'buh bye' is hilarious.
