FlossTube #1: Intro and WIPs
Welcome to my channel!
My name is Cecilia [Ceci for short] and I’m so happy you are here
This is my first FlossTube video and my first Video in general! So I’m a little nervous about it.
Any tips and tricks about cross stitching or video stuff or how to better make this description section would be great! I know I was very nervous and forgot some things! But that just means more for the next video!
Thank you for visiting!
Live Long and Prosper \\//_

Your floss swatch collection is SUCH a clever idea! I’ve watched lots and lots of floss tubes and never seen anything like it.

Thank you! I have to make swatches of all my art supplies haha I don't even know how it popped into my head
Love your glasses and the blue bunny 🐰 💙 I'm a Star Trek fan too! The Van Gogh is great! Binge watching series is super fun! Your FT artwork is awesome!!
And the planets are super cool!! Love the Earth❤ And that is the BEST temp chart I've ever seen! I'm holding out for a Willow tree! I'm in the Tampa Bay area.
Fab job on your video 😁👌 and well done for getting the pictures in and not deleting them like me 😂😂 .. loved seeing all your work xx

Great first video. Love what you are working. I also love Heaven and Earth patterns. Glad your video popped up. Have to go watch #2.
Welcome to the Flosstube world. The ending of your thread is called "waste knots". It is a good method. To deal with the large fabric on big pieces. Some use Q-snaps and grime guards. They stuff the extra fabric in grime guard. I have not tried that. I just let it hang down. I find a q-snap gives me a larger work area. Now off to watch your next video. Oh and I added "A Pirates Life" to my wishlist. I am also doing Astrology Cat. I think the artist's first name is pronounced Cheero.
Great job on your FlossTube! I will look for your FlossTubes. ❤
Brillent idea for your floss leftovers!
Hi Cecilia from Ontario 🇨🇦 Missus Stitches sent me to see your video and I’m glad she did (I love her videos too!). Great job on your video 💜
Hi 👋 It was a great first video. My tip is keep being you, you will attract your tribe that way ☺️

Such a great video. You have so many wonderful projects. It’s going to be fun to see your progress on them. I use magnetic ties off of Amazon to wrangle my fabric. I don’t recall the brand but if you are interested I can tell you. Also your dmc swatch idea is so cool. I never would have thought of that.
Welcome to flosstube!!! 😊 love your planet projects! Love your floss colour idea, thats fab! 👌 Looking forward to seeing your progress! Jen

Hello from Blackpool, England ❤ enioyed your first floss tube ❤
Welcome to Floss tube!!! Great job on your first one! One of my favorite things that I use for my full coverage pieces to control fabric is grime guards, you can get them the size of whatever frame you want, and they are super customizable! I like to get them with a theme that matches the project. Etsy is where I found all of mine. And then I have also made a coupe. They are pretty easy to make.

I started my first dnd just before Christmas! I'm loving it 😍 I had adhd too! Editing out all my tangents takes a *while* 😂😂😂
30:22 you should add the date to your swatches ring. DMC dye lots change over the years so it’ll be interesting to see how they change

Hi! Ok 1- I hope it’s ok to say wow! You look so young for your age. Good for you! 😊 2- BRILLIANT idea on swatching. 🎉 C- I enjoyed your company while I was knitting. I like your background in art and interests- it will make for interesting topics on your episodes. I will definitely give you a mention on my little channel - I find you refreshing. I don’t have any in-person cross stitch buddies so I like finding flosstubers who are like minded. Have fun with it!

Your first finish is adorable. That's something I would stitch and make into a pillow just to watch people's reactions when they see it. ❤

Great intro to your awesome projects! Your solar system stitches are amazing (yay for Pluto). I am also a space and sci-fi gal...really wanted to do Space Camp as a kid. 😅 I have been wanting to do a solar system stitch for a while. Thank you for the inspiration! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos and progress.

Heck yeah space!! Space camp would have been so fun! I had to just do the science Channel on TV haha! And do a space themed stitch! Black isn't tooo hard to stitch on, if you have enough light
Hi 😊 your stuff looks amazing!! I like Heaven and Earth Designs too, especially the bright patterns like yours. I have a few going but I'm doing them all tent/half stitch so it will be quicker (hopefully!) I look forward to seeing your progress! ❤ 🇦🇺 🎉

Good to 'meet' you CeCe. Love your Swatch idea, looks beautiful too. Back in the '80's(yes I'm that old lol) I taught myself from library books. Noby around me stitches so the Flosstube community keeps me company. When I picked it back up the whole cross stitch world had changed. There was more than Aida. My whole world changed when I found Flosstube. Aimee Stewart has stunning patterns. I love the two you have going. I look forward to seeing your next video. Stay safe🤗🇬🇧

Ceci, great flosstube. I don't use pattern keeper, but I've started keeping track of percent finished by entering the project into an Excel spreadsheet. I put the date started, total number of stitches, stitches finished in one sitting and calculated the percent done.
@VulcanStitcher1701

That sounds like a good idea! I just have stats for my patterns in pattern keeper. My brother made an excel spreadsheet entry sheet for me to record how long I stitched to track that!

Congratulations on your first flosstube! It was great! Loved seeing all of your projects! Silicone magnetic cord ties make great side tensioners too. I usually just tie them in knots to make them a little smaller and use two or three on each side! I haven’t had a bird in many years, but I am definitely a bird person too ♥️ Happy stitching!

I also play D & D and like video games. I've cross stitched for 40 ish years. I just started my biggest project. The HP stained glass. Its about 20x30 inches with over 300k stitches. I also knit and crochet to help with my anxiety and Adhd. Your always welcome to message if you'd like to chat or need help with your projects. ❤❤

On the planets, so black, I use white thread from a bobbin that won't fit in my sewing machine :) on light colors I use a teal thread spool I got from a craft store. It's my favorite color haha
Welcome to flosstube! Great first video. We have a lot of interests in common, that's exciting! With your art degree have you thought of pattern design? Just curious. Have a blessed week and hope you get lots of happy stitching time❤
