Stitch With Me 7: New Start - Polar Bear Mama and Cub 

Hey Jade, For me I'm not really fussed with the before and after pictures because most of the time I've remembered what you have shown previously. I'm also not a stats girl., never have been and never will be. I'm taking pictures of my work and stats for the games that I am in and find it challenging to do it each day. (Some days I've missed the stats so I've not been able to add it to the games) I do like watching you work on the project at the time - because I do look up to see where you are - but I'm mainly stitching myself The project Im currently working on - is one I've struggled with and have the least amount in - only because someone else is also working on it and I've compared our projects and determined hers to be better than mine (I'm my own worst enemy 😞) it's A little bit of Magic by Randal Spangler HAED - so I did 259 while watching you today. I have only 4 HAEDs on the go - it freaks me out when you guys have a quite a few projects 😂 especially hearing Siske having 200 odd 😮 blows my mind. I've been a magnominos stitcher until flosstubes but can't see it expanding further than the 4 on the go. I truly love your channel - even though I don't comment much I make sure I hit the like button. I watch majority of the flosstubes via my tv and then forget to comment later via phone so.... Thank you for sharing your experience, thoughts etc ❤❤

Working on Monarch of The Glen from HAED. I'm favorite method is typewriter in columns, feathering the edges.

Your project looks great so far Jade. Don't worry about jostling. I know it is hard to be able to see and film at the same time. I am doing similar experimenting with my set up.

Okay, gonna try to remember everything: caffiene - yes. I run a retail shop mostly solo, no one wants me uncaffinated. projects: my highest number (all crafts included) was 217. Now I'm really only tracking cross stitch (bc knit & crochet are now Work Things), so the number is currently 68. I'd like to get it a little lower. Storage: I just inherited a set of almost complete Floss-Away bags of DMC and Anchor, so that's how I'm storing now. I also have Hero+Stitch thread drops - which also get stuffed into the appropriate baggies. While listening today, I got 303 stitches on Quaker du Japon (Jardin Privé) and 305 on Fish & Ships (Long Dog). Did I mention I can stitch between customers?😊 Jostling - no issue for me, I'm a listen-and-glance-over watcher. Um... I think that's everything?

Hello! It seems I stitch similar to you! I stitch from other stitches and try not to count too high. If I do have to count higher than five, I'll park the thread. I work a color till I'm done in an area . A page finish for me is by number of stitches on a page. When I reach that number, I move to another full coverage. I am thankful that most of my projects are from the cross stitch studio. I'm working on Flowers and Flyers Crop 2. Top left corner. I got about 227 stitches in tonight. One over one full cross on 25 ct. I love all your projects and love both your regular videos and the stitch with me videos. Have you ever thought of zoom or messenger to stitch with a friend? A lot of Facebook groups also have these occasionally. Just a thought. See you next time.

Boy I’m giving a lot of comments. No I don’t need before and after pictures.

I drink 3 cups of coffee too. I am working on Moonlight Owls by Kustom Krafts and I am working on the Moon right now. For Christmas I am going to ask for The Sorceress by Joan Elliott so I can not wait to see yours in your next FlossTube. Most of my projects I do count and I try to do 100 stitches a day per project. On Summer Quaker I do 1 motif at a time and if I am not tired then I will do another one. I have to do that one slow because it is on 20-count aida for the first time and I do not want to mess it up. It is one huge project and I am hoping to get done before I die. I am 66 years old so I have about maybe 15 years left. I also crochet & knit and I donate all my things for the poor, hospice and the babies in the hospital. I always start in the middle of the project and I have paper patterns because I do not have Pattern Keeper or any other apps. I work in one area at a time and I do not care if I have to change my thread all the time. I like to see things come alive on my aida cloth. I am a slow stitcher but I enjoy every single stitch that I do put in. I love watching you stitch. It is very relaxing for me. Happy Stitching.

Grabbing a coffee and my stitching and joining you.

I worked on a new start as well! I started The Watchmen by Lisa Parker.

Monster House Mystery SAL by Satsuma

No the jostling is not a problem at all.

Hi, I just found your channel. I'm loving stitching with you. I'm working on 3 HAEDs, at the moment, I'm stitching It's About Time.

I drink so much coffee. Like you I love the smell and taste of the coffee. I drank so much that I had to switch to decaf after 2 cups as I was getting faster heart beat. I loved stitching along with you on my HAED Drive Through Dragon. 50 WIPs?! I think would go insane if I have more than a dozen. I like finishes, but I like a little bit of variety too. I stitch diagonally with parking and it depends on the piece. On a simpler design, I follow the colors along the diagonal with limited cross country if there are a few stitches that are just skip over from where the rest are. On my HAED, I am doing more strict diagonals with the snake method in tent stitch, but I allow myself to put in a stitch if there is one above it and in the diagonal my needle is going down in. I heard of version of that from The Stitchy Witch. I am really enjoying that process.

Hi, ive enjoyed stitching with you today. Love your new start too😊

Honestly before and after photos of full coverage isn't super impressive so I don't find them necessary. When you add 2k on a 500k project it's just not that visable. I like them for smaller projects with impressive visual improvements

Thank you. I really enjoyed your stitch with me. As a newbie it was interesting to see the start of a full coverage and it doesn’t feel as intimidating as it did before. I have only two wips but that is because I have only stitched for appr 1 month. I used to cross stitch 20+ years ago and have recently rediscovered it. Now I have a SAL coming up in later in the year so soon it will be three wips. (And the list of what I want to do is getting larger). Looking forward to your flosstube.

I actually didn't even notice the jostling, it was fine.
