    Hello! I am by no means a beginner, as I've done cross-stitch since I was about 7 years old (over 20 years now!), but I was never shown to have the loop in the thread to start the stitching. I think that is much easier than what I have been doing. It just goes to show that even if you've done something for years, you can always learn a better way of doing things! Thank you so much for your videos!

    I was very impressed with her explanations. I have not done cross stitching since I was in my late twenties, and now I am sixty eight years old. At that time I did not have computer to get lessons. You to teach yourself. Thank-you very much! It all came back with your instructions. Bonnie Pawelkiewicz

    Excellent beginner video. The softness of her voice and light music in the background sets up a quiet tranquil environment for cross stitching, which is the way I think it should be. It’s all about the relaxation and art!!

    Thank you so much. I am just learning and this has made things quite clear. I am very disheartened by a few of the rude comments here. I find that the background music shows very good class and is relaxing as well. I am happy it is there. It makes things pleasant. If a well put together video for people who share a similar interest makes you puke..well..you are showing immaturity and very low standards and you are on the wrong category of interests. I find that rude and critical comments come from individuals that are very unhappy with life and enjoy tearing others who are happy down. A blunt fact. Keep making these wonderful videos..background music and all. I very much enjoyed it.

    Terrific introduction! I lost track of the number of tip and hints you offered. I particularly liked the comments about using the scroll frame with fabric to attach the project by sewing. I made the mistake of buying a 'modern" scroll frame with Velcro tape instead of sewing and was unable to remove the residue from my crewel work. In fact, I had to give up because the wool thread colors bled with the cleaning products I tested to remove the residue!

    This is the first time I've seen a simple explanation of how the work should be mounted on a roller frame, I've double checked and on the frame I have it doesn't explain sufficiently well how to 'roll' it. I've done it the wrong way and my work has indeed rubbed and become slightly dulled/dirty (despite washing hands and not using hand cream before stitching) on the edges. Thank you, I can finally do large projects without messing up my work.
