Welcome!! Thanks for watching.

Your America piece is gorgeous. Being retired military I alway thought I wanted to do a United States crossstitch piece and put the years we were lived in each state. Your America chart would be ideal for that! I am so happy I am watching your flosstube. After stitching for 40 years, I am still learning something new! Thank you!

I love your videos I always learn something new. America is the greatest country and I’m so glad I live in America.thank you for taking the time to do these videos .

As a new subscriber and an old American, I’m so glad I found your video! If I had had access to your tips, tricks, and knowledge back in the day, late 60’s and 70’s, I might not have ventured forth into quilting! I am excited and inspired to visit needlepoint and cross stitching again! Thank you for your time and wisdom. America the beautiful is my home and I love it.

I first came to know you when you came to Hershey, PA in the United States of America. I've been stitching since the 1970's and with Flosstube's help I'm so glad to see a resurgence in the interest of cross stitch - especially how it's now touching young people's lives today. I love that you are talking about the basics of stitching. I think when we're spending so much love and time on our projects, we might as well be stitching correctly!

I don't know when Lori Holt designed & started using her "Library Cards" with that kind of information written on them, stuck them inside of her designed pockets, & used her Washi tape to adhere them onto the paper backing of her X-stitch pieces... but I have purchased several sets & have used some on the backs of my fully finished X-stitch stitches. To me, it keeps the information secure, as sometimes that backing paper gets soiled, or torn & needs to be replaced. I do realize this VLOG was released 2 years ago, but maybe others will appreciate this information. Fat Quarter Shop sells them, as probably many other shops.

America is truly blessed by God. We need to pray for her. New to your video. Enjoying very much. Ty

Enjoying your informative floss tube videos. I like your America land that I love sampler. America. Proud to be an American. Love the patriotic pieces designers provide.

Your tips and tricks help out tons of stitchers in America! Thanks!

America. Love all the tips and tricks you share. Your videos are straight forward and I appreciate the lack of chitchat that takes up a lot of time.

Hi Jean, greetings from Down Under. I really enjoy your teaching format. You are so calm which makes it easier to concentrate on what you are saying. Your “America, The Land that I Love” project has such a lot of work in it - amazing that you have done it twice!! I look forward to next week’s class. In the meantime, stay safe and well. 💕🇦🇺

I haven’t thought about that thread canister in years, but lo and behold, I still have mine! I took several classes from you at the Spirit of Cross Stitch festivals (I went to 2 a year), and moistening the threads was something you showed us in one of the classes. You were one of my favorite teachers then, and 30 years hasn’t changed that a bit. Thanks for doing these videos.

I was watching the Saltbox Stitcher & she recommended watching your flosstube #15 for stitching over one. I’m an “old” stitcher so when I started I pretty much learned as I went along. Believe me there wasn’t as many do dads then like there is now. J&P Clark’s was the floss to use. I’ve since have DMC & Weeks Dye works floss to work with. I even had to learn how to stitch with hand dyed floss. Of course I started out with Aida cloth but saw stitching on linen & was hooked. I used to use hardanger but a few yrs ago I realized I couldn’t see it very well! So I started using 32 ct linen. I quit stitching about 25 yrs ago & just recently became inspired to start again by Nichol Spohrs floss tube. I’d already been watching her card making. It was then I heard her talking about stitching one over one on 40 ct linen. If I was having trouble stitching on 32 ct how would I ever be able to do one over one on 38 + ct? I got a magnifier light for around my neck but it’s a pain in my neck! Your tube #15 was very similar to what I did when I started stitching on linen. I looked at it like a tic tac tie space using only the corner holes Only one over one just uses the corners. I don’t think I’ll ever stitch on the larger ct linen! Also your hints on storing floss was very helpful. I’ll be watching more to learn more hints. Of course all of my floss (except my weeks are stored in a ring binder) has been neatly wrapped around bobbins & stored in plastic cases. That was the thing to do back then! Anyway I wanted to tell how much I enjoyed your flosstube & will tune again. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Oh, is Victorian cross doing a half stitch across several stitches & then going back over the half stitch? I’d not heard that name before.

I am grateful Ilive in America with all the freedoms we enjoy

Hi Jean! I also use thread drops to store my threads. I make the drops myself using heavy card stock. I store my thread rings on a tiered metal pant hanger by pushing clips to the outside edges and slipping rings over the clips so they don't slide off. I then took a cotton pillow protector that zips closed at bottom and fashioned a hole at the top so I could slip hanger through. Im able to keep an entire set of every DMC color comfortably on 2 hangers on my closet rod, covered and dust free. I use a wonderful antique 12 inch ruler to wrap my thread and prepare it for the thread drops ending with 24 inch threads. The ruler belonged to my grandmother who taught me to stitch when I was a young girl. I get the added benefit of thinking of our wonderful times stitching together as I prepare my thread. Love your videos and am hoping to take another cruise with you in the future. Oh and by the way AMERICA is a land that I love!!

I just found your channel and really enjoyed it. I started crosstitching more than 40 years ago but have not crosstitched in years because of getting old and the eyes not what they use to be. Recently I have had the desire to pick it back up. I found your tip on avoiding knots so very helpful. I also needle tat and your tip will come in handy keeping my tatting thread knot free. I could not help but laugh when watching you do what is now being called the Victorian Cross stitch. I did that years ago just because I was so tired of the down from the front up from the back stitch. I would go against the grain to find any kind of short cut I could. I guess I was a rebel back in the 70s

Hello! Thank you for demonstrating and posting tips, etc. I appreciate the time you took to do so. I'm just dipping my toe back into handwork after quite a long break, and enjoyed the floss drop tip and pulling one strand from the drop will be life changing as I tackle modifying a Bucilla felt Christmas kit. Thought you should know your time spent have been very helpful to me and I'm sure many others.

First time I have watched one of your videos. Very informative. Also, I LOVE America.

This s the first time I have seen your video. I am so happy to have found it. I subscribed right away. The tips were great. I especially liked the waste knot starts. I am trying so hard to keep the back of my work as neat as I can. I am very bad at it. I found the look method and use that all the time when I am starting a new strand of floss. However when have used it and am done I needed to be able to use that floss again and cannot use the loop method. So now I can use the waste knot method and it will help keep the back neat. Thank you so much for that tip. I love America.

America, Land that I Love is beautiful. Your designs are great and I will be buying one soon!
