Summer Cross Stitch Update - I'm Officially Addicted to HAED || Flosstube #3 

Hi, the Peter Peter Pumpkin.... looks beautiful!, nice job. Thank you for sharing. Take care.

I love those pansies! If it were me, on the little bears, I would just continue working the border. I don't like frogging and also, I think the border just makes the bears seem a bit more like "old fashioned bears" that a little girl of long ago would love and play with. That's just me though. I'm sure that it will look beautiful both ways. Your HEAED is going to be gorgeous!!! I have not gotten one of their patterns because it's intimidating to me but the patterns are just so amazing. I agree with you about the black background fabric being difficult and slow to work on. I'm working on an Orenco design (a Lily and lilypad) and the background is black and it's making my eyes go crosseyed!

Love it! I am so want to try HAED, maybe one day i will get brave lol

I have cross-stitched for almost 20 or so years and then lost my "stitchy bug" about six years ago. I got my "stitchy bug" back this January and pulled out three old full coverage pieces (Gold Collection, Design Works and Sunset kits) which I had first started in the late 1990s/early 2000s. I am determined to complete all three this year. A difficult task as I am constantly distracted by new beautiful charts (full coverage and smalls) from designers I've discovered since stumbling on FlossTube! I think you are so far into the bear project that it would be too emotionally painful for you to frog that beautiful border. I say soldier on .. but work on one or two small projects every now and then so you don't lose your "stitchy bug" like I did....

i going to have to try stitching

Jessica, when do you sleep? You are so busy with so many beautiful projects.

In regards to your bear project don't sweat it. I would keep the tower cross stitch just allign it. 🤷🏻 It looks amazing either way!!!😉

HAED is really fun 😁 Glad to see you're enjoying it!

In regards to your bear project, I like the bottom part of it (it kind of looks like part of a rug), but I agree that it would look better without the side border. I agree with you that it will be very painful to frog! Ultimately, it is up to you, but since you asked 😉 This will teach me to comment before watching the whole video 🤦🏼‍♀️: In regards to your HAED done in tent stitch, are you alternating stitch direction by row? Or by block? I'm trying to decide the best way to start mine with tent, and I've watched a lot of videos on it. It seems like most I've watched suggest switching by row. Which I fear keeping track of will just confuse/stress me out. Do you think if you do a different direction each block it would work? Wonder how many blocks I could push it to ...

I love that we feel the same way about cross stitching and diamond painting!!! I feel guilt when I buy a diamond painting and it also hurts my shoulder when cross stitch doesn't. Cross stitch is so zen and fun without the guilt of all of the microplastics I'm contributing to. ❤

Beautiful work with all of them. And I think I would remove the background/side boarder. It doesnt seem to match the other colors. But keep the bottom. I think it will look really good that way.

If you use a white pillow case underneath the black cross stitch cloth you will be able to see the holes a lot better. An old technique someone told me once.

Put your dp light under and you will see better

No

Your cross stitch is very pretty I'm doing my first Heaven and Earth design and I bought me a floor stand loving it

Hi. I would love to start HAED as my next project and I was wondering where do you buy floss for the HAED project. I live in Norway . Thank you. Ps: love your video.

Agree, I would remove the side stitching, the colors are not flattering to the rest of your beautiful work. The printed portion, will that wash out? If so you could simply avoid the background stitching.

HAEDs are great fun. About the bears: maybe 'fade out' stitches from the right side, also a bit along the top, so it doesn't look so empty. That way you could keep room on all sides between the bears and the frame without having to stitch everything. Happy stitching!

I am so behind on videos. But I had no idea you cross stitched. I love HAED. I have so many started lol. The easy count fabric makes it so much easier and it’s look awesome so far!

Do you use pattern keeper with your HAED? It was such a game changer for me!

Jessica, I do the loop method to start also but my question is about the snipped threads on top of your fabric. How exactly does that work? And parking has always been confusing because I don’t understand how you keep the colors (many of which are so similar in color-just a tad different shade) straight as to what goes where. Do you have a tutorial for that or can you direct me to one that simplifies this method? Also, what count fabric are you using with the tent stitch, the coverage looks great!

just stumbled on this. i watch you for diamond painting. Never knew you did CS I am just now gonna start to learn ! you had some interesting g ideas ENDING THREADS ? YOU PULL UP TO FRONT AND SNIP? STITCHES DONT COME OUT?Do you just cross over them later?

Question I love cross-stitching been doing it for years now. So my question is, is their any websites out their that sells cross-stitch kits like diamonds paints do.

I bought a Haed design!!I have not started..This will be my first Cross Stitch...So I am slowly buying my thread because if I bought all at once it is pretty pricey..I set a certain allowance for my crafts each month..😁😁😁

The bears would look good without the side borders but I like the bottom one x

What is a good way to start cross stitch?

Lovely pieces Jess💖💎
