ABOUT ME:
Thanks for visiting my channel, I hope you enjoyed the video! I started Caterpillar Cross Stitch in 2015 when I tried desperately for months to find a modern baby sampler my mum could stitch for new baby Felicity that would fit in with her simple, contemporary nursery. I love teaching others to enjoy cross stitch, running, baking fruit cakes and drinking gin!
See you soon and happy stitching! Sally x

Great tutorial, no fuss , thank you!
beautiful!
Great video! 🤩. I definitely appreciate the tip about using the spoon instead of just pouring the dye. It really makes a difference in making sure you don’t use too much.
Thank you. Just dyed one today using a scrap piece of Aida and it came out perfectly. Just like you showed. Now I can dye my 28!evenweave with confidence. Thanks so much.
i loved this . tyvm,,,
thanks for the tutorial video
Excellent tutorial I’m going to definitely be giving this a try!

They came out beautiful. Wow. Really pretty. Thank you for making this video. Very helpful. I heard some bake in oven to set, that may only be for tea dying. I know the fabric can burn in the oven too.
After watching your video I'm inspired to give it a try. Thankyou.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm about to do my first attempt in an hour live on stream XD we shall see how that goes. Quick question about Jen's reveal using her fabric. Any chance we could know where she got the backstitch pattern of the baby alien?
Hi Jen. Thanks so much for this tutorial. Dying fabric is easier than I was expecting. I dyed a piece of cross stitch fabric with light blue and it looks like a sky with clouds and now I don’t have to stitch them - just the fun flowers.
Great information on dye ing fabric! Thank you

I’m looking for tips on rinsing the cloth and dye cleanup … I’m scared I’m going to stain my white sink. Help?
Very interesting. I am now going to dye my own fabric. One suggestion. I use my sewing machine and do an overcast stitch on the edges. Works just like a serger.
You were very helpful, Thank you

Hello! Most tutorials have an extra step to fix the colour (baking), so I’m wondering if you can wash the fabric safely after stitching
Mind blowing!! I for sure will use this method, thank you for showing your how to!!

Hi! Great video! Quick question, when you iron it do you use steam or dry iron?
Thank you for this information. I have stitched on linen and wondered why my stitches looked wonky and other times just fine.
Thank you for th clear instructions. Instead of a serger I zigzag with my sewing machine or just sew two lines of straight stitching. Love the colors!
A familiar, sweet face here! You are doing a good job! Love you and Caterpillar Cross Stitch!

Thank you for posting. How do you make it color fast?
Thank you Jennifer! An amazing video. Will definitely be watching a lot more while dying my fabric😍🥰
P,ease could you tell me which rit dye you used as there are a few depending on fabric used?I want to try it on 28 count evenweave
Thank you so much for showing how to do this - I have been wanting to dye some of my aida fabrics, but just wasn't sure how to go about it - Now I know - If I wanted to have more than just one color, would I have to dry each color in between each color dyeing process, such as maybe using a green and then have some pink with it?
@CaterpillarCrossStitch

Yes, I believe you would have to do each colour separately or they may run into each other : )
Thanks for the video. Very helpful! If I wanted to do two different colours for example grey and pink. Would I do this at same time? As put all grey on then the pink and then let it sit. Or would I rinse the grey, let it dry and go back over with pink? Thanks
You can use masking tape or painters tape for the edges of your dyed fabric before stitching

Great tutorial!! Looking forward to trying this technique. I have one question. I always wash my finished piece in cold soapy water and rinse in cold water. Do you think I should use a color catcher? Will dye residue bleed over onto my finished stitches??
Hi! Thanks for the wonderful video. Is it possible to wash and reuse the containers or use empty peanut butter jars or something similar? I hate to think of all that plastic going into the landfill. Can you save dye for another day or will it break down?

How much dye would you recommend if I dont want such intense pigmentation? I'm trying for an aged look and my aida is coming out far to pigmented. I'm wasting so much money experimenting 😮💨
💖🥰💖
Can I wash my project when it is complete?
Thanks! Does the dye stain your sink?

How many oz are these disposable plastic containers?
Are they colorfast? I always wash my piece after stitching, would that work with this method?
@CaterpillarCrossStitch

I would recommend testing the floss first before stitching to ensure they would be colourfast.

The floss is colorfast. I'm asking about the fabric after it's dyed.
Dog does not bother. It is cute.
Great Job. But does dying the fabric cause the holes to be smaller than they started out with
@susancnw59

Why would it do that? It soaks into the fibers of the fabric
