Love to see the progress, more color blocking please.

I find your method a lot easier than other kinds of parking I've seen. I call it mini block parking 😁. I finally broke down and bought a cheap tablet and downloaded Pattern Keeper and will try your method out on my next full coverage. Thank you for your videos.

I just want to say thank you. Watching your videos and trying your method of stitching has brought back the joy I got stitching years ago. I have recently started a new project and it no longer feels like work stitching on it. It’s kind of like a puzzle and keeps me interested and thinking about what to do next. Love your videos. Oh and I have made you my unofficial stitching buddy 😂 I stitch with you during your stitch with me videos haha.

Love this video. Explains your method very well.

Although I do full crosses only in full coverage unlike you - I love your method - work stitch that doesn’t block all around - 👌

I work from left to right with half stitches and then go back. Leaves a tidy little stitch on the back. I have not tried parking yet. Perhaps I did “cross country “ for 25 years without realizing it. I just do it how my Grandma taught me. Maybe I’ll get Patter Keeper some day and give it a try.

Are your needles blunt or shap? The discription for you link does not say.

I find them a bit in between. They are duller than a sewing needle but a bit sharper than other tapestry needles I’ve used.

What app are you using and is it easy for a senior to use

It is called Pattern Keeper for android and it is very easy to use as it was designed by a cross stitcher. I made an overview video about it here: Cross stitch: Pattern Keeper app kzread.info/dash/bejne/gHZ5yLWnecupYKQ.html
