Oooh! Ok. Thank you for your response to my HAED inquiry. Now I can move on!!!! Again, thank you for replying to my question, I really appreciated that. God bless you.

Hi Karen, I learn so much about stitching HAEDs from your videos. Please keep talking during your videos as I want to continue learning from you about stitching, as well as learn about your other interests.

I love when you talk during your videos. You have a nice voice. Talk about your garden or anything. I like what you did on this video. I am so glad your back! I have missed you! 👵 Linda

Thank you for an excellent video. You explain things so well. This is the first time I actually understand stitching full coverage on the diagonal parking the threads. It is also the first time I have seen the pin stitch sideways because of the weave of the fabric. I would enjoy more stitch with you videos with you talking about cross stitch. You have so much information to share.

I’m glad to see you back. One thing I always like about your videos is you explain why you like one method over another.

Love when you talk when stitching 😍 really enjoy your stitch with me videos, and was super fun to see you start a new project ❤️ thank you so much for an really fun stitch with me 😘 love when people share there knowledge and experience about stitching 😊

Love listening to you, talking about what your doing helps.

Love your methods and your commentary.

Yes, please talk! You have so.much knowledge to share.

Thank you, Thank you for your videos. And I do enjoy listening to you talk. As someone already said, you have so much to share. Life, experiences, and of course cross stitch or requested topics. Thank you

Thank you sooooo much for teaching me something new and extremely helpful.

Thank you for your videos, very often I have them playing in the background while I stitch, you are good company 😀. My 2 cats will sit in front of the TV and watch and listen as well 😉

I love your Flosstubes, your tips and tricks and the way you teach. You have a gift. Thank you for taking the time to make them, I have learned much. x

Laurie Kilner thank you for your kind words. I really do enjoy doing these videosand so glad you find them helpful

I'm not a haed type of stitcher just because i feel like i wanna enjoy my time with the smller or less detailed ones from aliexpress, and plus haeds seem sooo complicated, and I'm only 15 so there's lots of time to learn. Anyways, watching this was so cool. I could never imagine how to even start one like this and now it's making me very interested..

I've found your videos a few days ago and started watching the older ones, too. So this might be an outdated comment, but I really like to listen to you talking during your stitching. Thanks for sharing all the info with us!

Love how you make a very complicated process look easy. Keep talking as you make me feel encouraged to try new things

Nancy Johnston thank you so much ☺️. I am so glad you enjoy. Do try new things and hopefully find new ways to make your stitching even more enjoyable. 😊❤️

I like to hear you talking and especially appreciate learning from you. I think your experiments will save me a lot of time, because I agree with your deductions about what will work for you. I wish I had viewed this before purchasing fabric for a full coverage piece. I purchased 18 ct aida, and will use two strands of floss to get good coverage. Next project will be a fabric that only uses one strand. I would very much like to view your video sharing the techniques you learned watching the “Russian lady’s” video. Will be waiting patiently for your rendition. Thank you for sharing.

OMG you are a godsend!!! I wanted to cross stitch so bad but have never done it. I'm the person who either goes big or goes home. I don't like mini cross stitch designs, I love the intensely detailed and big projects! The other videos of people showing parking always show midway with a million threads that gets sooo confusing for new set of eyes! You showed the START! which made me feel like I was stitching with you! I want to start a HAED project so bad but the material packs are so expensive.....DMC threads are so expensive too! I have no materials at all. So, I'm going to start a 22"x17" project kit. Things to buy: 1. Sharp pointy Scissors (I loved yours). 2. Extra needles 3. frame (I still need help for this, I don't like hoops, I like square but the wooden stands are so expensive. only cheap ones are the plastic ones which people complain don't hold the fabric tight) thread, fabric and chart will come with the kit for now. once I have saved up money I will buy a HAED material pack. What tips do you have on finding good quality cheap tread? my best bet right now is AliExpress or Amazon. they have 150skeins for around $20. Can you please please please do a timelapse video of a full project?? Oh and one last question. I am a beginner who hasn't started yet. I have done plenty of research and found 3 sections of needle and thread work. I want to master in the one that produces the best images and designs. Embroidery - uses a lot of different stitch methods (too much for me at this moment) Cross Stitch - done on fabric with mostly X stitches (I like this one so far) Needlepoint - done on a hard mesh canvas with X and //// stitches. (debating on this one....) P.S I love jigsaw puzzles and so I am thinking of starting a 5D diamond painting if I fail at cross stitching First 1 hour cross stitch video that I watched until the end without confusion or wastage of time!! Thank you for the privilege of your time!! I am not retired but I'm a stay at home mom. Although my day is extremely busy, I feel like I do nothing for my own enjoyment. With cross stitching at least I will have a few minutes to mentally relax each day.

I love the way you do you videos. Thank you. For cheering to as

Another very helpful video. Thanks.

Hi I am so pleased to see you crossstitching again and I would love to see your advice on stitching neatly since watching your first video I only thread my needle the bugg way ha I have just started a haeds and I am having a go at diagonal thank you for sharing your knowledge I live in Yorkshire uk

I need to see you stitching! I’m just learning I need all u can show like this one!

Those stockings are gorgeous!! I have so many Dimensions Gold stocking kits I’ve been meaning to stitch for family members for years. Maybe 2021 will be the year I finally work on those. (If I do HAED stockings I’m afraid they’ll never get finished - LOL!) Thanks for another great video!!

i like videos w talking! tutorials and tricks

Hello, I am so glad you have another video. I have missed you. I also enjoy your voice. If you just had music I wouldn't watch. To be honest when I am stitching during the video, I watch with my ears. Would you like to share memories? You seem about the age of my own mother, and it gives her so much joy to tell stories of her life. When she speaks of her youth, I join her in my mind with empathetic experiences from my youth. And when that happens we become friends and sisters instead of mother and daughter. I would enjoy getting to know you more.

thank you for teaching me about diagonal stitching I think i finally understand. I am a single stitch at a time feathering person. i have chosen the single stitch and the feathering because i have a big problem with tension. it works for me. I might try diagonal on my next project. :) i have a bunch of others to do first though. perhaps you can do another stitch with me that includes you teaching. i liked this one

I have Essential Tremor as well, and it sure can make stitching a challlenge at times.

I enjoy hearing you talk during your videos. I tend to not view entire stitch-with-me videos if there is not talking - guess I feel that I could be listening to someone else's video or an audio book while I stitch. I enjoy the conversation, even if it is 1 way! There is usually something I learn - whether stitching or about other topics. I'm sorry you won't be able to continue with the Hardangar videos (I still need to start watching them - that is in my daily plan but doesn't happen.) I park with diagonal stitching but have a different direction of the diagonal on each project! Depends on when I started doing diagonal on that piece. I really enjoy it and am convinced my stitches are neater. (BTW, I am subscribed under another name.)

love your video and your voice.

Talk! I love to do stitch with me where ‘we’ chat... how did you know to do that one on the side? So happy to see you use 20 ct as I was going to restart my haed 1 thread and wasn’t sure how low a count to go, 18 or 20... and I now know how to start m first row! Best video I have seen on that! Oh my would love to know thr russian ideas. COs your stitches are so tidy. I have been stitching 37 yrs but self taught snd only found floss tube 3 yrs ago. And haed 2.

Thank you for the video. I learned a lot and as a recently retired nurse after 40 years, I understand the need for back stretches. Sorry to hear that you won't be continuing the Hardangar series, I have watched them. The thing I learned with this video is doing the pin stitch from the front, I have always flipped my frame to do it from the back, this is so much easier. What I would like to know is how do you finish your threads? I try to use pin stitch but it is not easy. Have any words of wisdom. I also prefer you talk rather than music. I tend to stitch while 'watching' and look up when something is said.

Hi Mary.. thanks for your kinds words.. I end my threads with a pin stitch.. I place that pin stitch in an empty space close to the last stitch that I made.. I don't try to go under that last x it is too hard to do that. it can be done but is rather tedious. I prefer to do as much as Ican from the front of my work.. really dont like flipping t the back

I prefer you talk in your videos - I learn so much from you!! Thanks!! 🙂

It's late here in Australia so l watch while in bed l like listening to you talk

Thank you so much for this video! Have s tried a pin stitch on the diagonal? As your first leg 9f th ed cross stitch.

That was very informative! I'm on my first HAED and have struggled with the back being so messy. I have already finished one page but I'm considering this a learning experience so I'm just moving forward. Thanks so much. The pin stitch isn't bad at all and although I'm working from left to right in squares and parking to the right, it seems to be working just fine. Question - did you show what project you are actually stitching? I'm going to scroll back to the front and see if you did. I am interested in seeing what the completed picture will look like.

I prefer talking... we always learn from you.☺️

Your videos are great, this diagonal stitching really makes sense. I’ve got a question, hopefully I can explain it well enough. If I start stitching on the left of a horizontal row and end with a stitch on the right end of that row but then want to park my thread back to the left on the next row down, does it elongate the top leg of the stitch? Should I complete the top leg of that last stitch differently ? I’m hoping to get into your fb group so I can go back and read past posts to glean more information. Thank you for filming these videos.

I watch this video and love it going to give this a try I have a question if the beginning of the page starts with a block 8x10 how do you start that

Talking is fine thanks.

💕

Yes, I would enjoy a video on making better stitches (in English). I have found that when I come up in a hole with a parked thread, I cant figure out which why to hold the parked thread so the thread coming up can my a nice stitch. and more importantly, the parked thread's first leg looks funky in the bottom corner. I am having a hard time figuring this out. ALSO, what needles do you use? I have 26 with two threads and I have been trying your wonderful threading method, however it tends to separate on of the strands, (separate what should stay together in a strand.) Thanks for your videos. VERY VERY helpful!!!!

I love yourn pointed scissors! What kind are they and where can I buy them?

🖱Thanks for a great tutorial on diagonal stitching! I have an HAED that I've been wanting to start and now maybe I don't feel so intimidated by the full coverage! Love your videos and I found you through Jan @janhickscreates she does great videos also.

I loved your video, very easy to follow and understand for a person that is a stitcher, I am stitching my very first piece and I'm loving it. I have a question, when you do this diagonal parking method and you finish all the stitches in the first diagonal, do you end the threads? And begin next diagonal again from above? I hope I make myself clear. I was hoping to see that in this video but it ended when you were a couple of stitches from the end. Thanks in advance 😘

Hi Welcome to the world of Cross Stitching. HAED is an abbreviation for Heaven and Earth Designs. Which is a company that produces full coverage cross stitch designs. Beware they have many beautiful charts it is hard to pick just one. Also know they are long term commitment - meaning they can take years to complete Hope this answers your question

Where did you get your q snap cover at. I have a few but not as cute as the cat one you have. Keeping the good work and Happy Stitching!!!

Hello Karen, im watching your older videos to catch up since im a new watcher. I have a couple of questions....when your starting your threads with a pin stitch why do you wait to clip the tail until you have the needle already in 1st hole?? Why not cut the thread 1st?? 2nd question is do you prefer stitching 1 row at a time and parking in next closest row more than say stitching all that color of thread in the 10x10 square or diagonal?? Is it easier to not get confused doing 1 row at a time or is so you don't have to be coming up in dirty holes so your stitches look neater?? Really enjoy your teachings and stitch alongs and one day I might catch up with all of them,lol. Hope your week is going good and Happy Stitching 😊

HI Jodie, I cut my thread after placing my needle in the first hole only because it is stuck in the fabric and ready to go after i clip the tail. I guess you could clip it before but then what would you do with your needle? I find I prefer doing all the stitches of the same color on a row because it is less threading of the needle. If i try to do alll the same color in a 10x10 square i tend to get confused. Honestly, if you are watching all my videos you will find that i have changed the way i stitched several times along the journey. Mostly it just depends on the mood i am in and how i feel like stitching on any given day. It is best to experiment and fins what works best for you. There is no right or wrong way there is only your way. Happy stitching🥰

Hi. Love your video. I'm just starting Heads and I was taught to do it exactly like you did on this video row by row on the diagonal. However question is when you finish your first triangle in this video...where do you go next? Also then the next parallagram which is your next diagonal section..where do you start at bottom or top. Shouldn't you always start back at top? I saw some of your later videos and it looks like your working from.bottom to top now. I just want to knkw when you finish first triangle where do you go next? Thank you so much!!

@NeedleBugg

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Allison. When I finish that first triangle i move over to the next 10 stitch wide diagonal start at the top and work down. I prefer to start back at the top with each Diagonal. That being said there are those who work their diagonals top tp bottom and the next one bottom to top and so forth. It is a matter of what you prefer to do. There is no right or wrong way. It is what you prefer to do. Experiment and see what you like best. Hope this helps.. happy stitching

How do you make sure you dont catch a parked thread when the parked thread is several rows below the working row?

@NeedleBugg

5 жыл бұрын

Karen Lind Gandrup I am not exactly sure what you mean but will try to give you an answer. On the front of the work I just move the threads out of the way when I need to. As far as catching threads on the back of the work - you want to stitch over them especially if you had to carry the thread a few rows down. That way you are avoiding having loose carried threads on the back. I hope that answers your question. If not just let me know

I am starting to do full coverage. I noticed that parking really gets out of hand, and it takes a lot of my time trying to figure it out. My question to you is do you put all the pages together and stitch diagonal or do you just take page by page. One more question is do you do the pin stitch when you finish a color, and you can not use it anywhere esle? Love your videos. Also I have been stitching off and on for over 20 yrs, but I am learning much more.

Debra Darensbourg I personally use Pattern Keeper and that puts your pages into one big chart. And i can mark my diagonal lines. If you are using paper you can do it either way. Tape your pages together or just go page by page. It really is personal preference. I am not sure exactly what you mean on your second question. You can both start and end threads with a pin stitch. Sorry had to read that again and I understand what you are saying. So yes you can end with a pinstitch. If you are stitching 1 over 1 you may also want to check out the loop start with one thread and ending with a loop method.

Leah. To determine your fabric count. Measure 1 inch. Then count the number of squares within that inch. That equals the count of your fabric. For example if you have the pregridded fabric 18 count would be 1 block plus 8 stitches in the next block to equal 1 inch.
