Flosstube #6 - WIPs, q-snap in my lapstand, diagonal cross country, my floss organization system 

I have the same stand. After the first day of my hand hitting the knobs since I stitch two handed too, I decided to put the left side in the clamp. Works great. Edited: I meant right lol Since my right hand stays under, the right side in the clamp. That way left hand on top has lots of room.

I think the dye lot problem with DMC is for those of us who are older stitchers. Some of my DMC is 40 years old so when I buy a new skein I have found colour difference a few times. I’ve learned to only use my older threads in an area where I know for sure I have enough.

The Postcard is my favourite Hallmark Christmas movie, I cry every time.

Bonnie, I bought the same lap stand a couple of months ago but am just now seeing your video. I had to contact the maker for help because my q-snap got stuck! I couldn't even loosen the knobs. He asked me whether I had adjusted the long central screw in the clamp so that it "touched" the clamp, because that was designed to keep q-snaps from getting wedged in too tightly. Well, I did manage to get my q-snap and fabric out but I haven't used it again because his instructions regarding that long screw seemed so vague and weren't addressed at all in the assembly instructions I got other than in the diagram. Did you do something specific with that part of the clamp? Your demo was very helpful, by the way. If I get up the nerve (or find the need!) to try it again I'll definitely watch how I position those grooves over my q-snap.

Couldn't you just turn the know over to the bottom? That would eliminate the problem of the knob getting in the way of your hands

So all your dmc. Fits in the 4 boxes. Hhh boy I had dye lot was doing a sue colman raven and a huge mess when I couldn’t match at all. Ended up frogging it and restarting a huge section. Oh I comment3d a few videos ago as just found you and am starting from beginning.are the clubs canadian?

Hi Voni! New subscriber to your channel! Looking forward to catching up and seeing your future vids. Kevin in Florida (US)

Thank you for sharing your projects, ideas, and plans...love The Bookshelf! Looking forward to seeing you again....

First time watching, great descriptions of everything, thank you! And good luck finishing that one.

Thank you so much for showing how you organize your floss! I just started my first HAED, so organization has been important.

Hi Vani! Can't wait to see the results of your challenge. Love your two projects so much that you showed today!

Love the way you organize your floss...always great to see how other stitchers organize. Have a blessed week.

I’m

So excited to hear they results of your experiment! I keep being drawn to parking but feel like it really slows me down. Look forward to what you find!

I have the same lap stand!!!🤗 I love mine.....wonderful channel I am glad I came across your videos .....beautiful stitching!

Your video just convinced me I need a Z stand in my life (I have the Kay's Creations floor stand, but have not been able to get in a good groove with it....) My question was regarding what to do with all the excess/rolled-up fabric to the left of my Q snap....but this answered my question-thank you! Now to find one at the best price! Great video!

I was going to ask if you’ve tried Pattern Keeper, but you said you do. I’m on my first HAED project and don’t think I could’ve done this without that particular app. I don’t keep track of my number of stitches etc, but I’m a serial starter with a ton of WIP’s! 🤣🤣

I found you through stitchmandarcy, I love all your projects, currently watching all your videos. Keep up the amazing work.

I know this video is old, but maybe you’ll still see my question 😅 I love the way you organize your floss and it seems very logical and practical to me. I’m still struggling to find the right method for me, so this is very helpful. I only have one concern with your method: I heard that dye lots can change quite a bit and you that should buy all the floss for a certain project at once. If you use all your floss on multiple projects at once, aren’t you worried that the different dye lots could mess up the outcome of your projects?

Thank you for sharing the way that you organize your floss. Love the Wips that you showed. Beautiful fabric. Really behind :D. Take care

Just love the pieces you are working on. Great idea you have with the storage box. Going to see if our plastic product shops here in South Africa have something like that. How did you manage to separate the selves on the Travel piece. I have the Fairytale chart I wanted to also do it by self but wasn't sure how see when the a selve ends. Have a lovely week further and warm blessing from a very hot yet lovely day in South Africa

Kismet! I found your channel and received my K creations lap stand today. Your demonstration of the stand will help me set up and get started. Thanks so much. New subbie here.

I love your floss organization! Do you have stock of all DMC colors or just those required on all your WIPs? As always awesome video and looking forward to the next one 😊

Your videos are EXCELLENT. Thank you.

I do so enjoy all your projects you are a lovely stitcher. I also live In Canada winnipeg actually. You mentioned the krenik threads and how hard they are to thread the needle. I use a floss threader for them and it works very well for me. Look forward to your next video

I love the Hallmark-esque movies! Last year, my husband bought me a plaid blanket that says "this is my Hallmark movie blanket". LOL. I have had a K's Creation floor stand for at least 15 years, and I love it. I have been considering a lap stand, so I appreciate all of your reviews on the lap stand. :)

Have you tried pattern keeper to keep count it tells you what you have stitched every day and starts over at midnight everyday love your stitching beautiful

Awesome video! Your floss organization is brilliant, I might have to do that myself 😂

Really really great idea and System. Oh, and I have the K stand. Love it! Love it Love it.

Did the tote bag come with the floss boxes? Where did you buy it? It's perfect!

Hello Vani, your stitching is gorgeous, world travel bookshelf is going to look amazing when its finished. I have the treasure hunt bookshelf in the mini version, and I'm wondering whether it would be ok stitched on 18ct instead of 25ct, as im currently stitching a haed on 25ct, and i love how it looks but I'm struggling a bit, and thats with a magnifyer and good lighting! Do you think it would lose a lot of detail on 18ct? Would love your opinion 😊

I love your organization method! Can you share where you got this bag and boxes combo? Thank you!
