I hadn't heard about a tent stitch until recently and now I know the difference! I think it will be helpful in my future stitching. Thank you.

Hi, I just found you and immediately subscribed. My needle art career started with my tiny needlepoint shoppe in Washington, D.C., cross stitch occupied one small basket with very little interest. The left-right needlepoint stitch is referred to as the “Continental” stitch and if you have the least little bit of tension while stitching, your canvas will pull tightly to the left-right direction. Cutting it out to redo will leave deep welts in your fingers and you hopefully won’t make that mistake more than once. The “Tent” stitch is referred to as the “Basketweave” Stitch, which prevents any canvas distortion. Another benefit to this stitch is that it leaves a very sturdy reverse side of your work. I found this extremely useful when needlepointing chair seat covers or any project that will get lots of wear. Sorry I went on so long but it’s all good information. Now, back to your videos.

Thank you for sharing : )

This was brilliant! Thank you! Because I don't use the tent stitch I often forget the difference and I have to look it up every time I do use it because I want to be sure I'm doing it correctly! This is the best explanation I've seen!

I loved your video. I particularly loved seeing your collections - so much fun to see what else our stitchers are up to. This is the first video of yours that I’ve watched and am sure happy that I’ve subscribed. 😊

Thank you for watching! Fords videos are excellent :)

I'm doing more over 1 on high count fabric lately, and I really needed this. I've been stitching for decades, but you continue to teach me new stuff!!

Legit JUST learned that half stitching is a thing from another video and found this while trying to learn more about it. I certainly would have been frustrated by the half stitch technique, im so glad i stumbled upon this video before trying it on a 120x120 project.

Been stitching for close to 50 years and did not know the difference between those 2 stitches. Your visuals are great and the explanation was easily understood. Thanks for helping me continue to learn new things.😁

You are very welcome, thank you for watching!

The terminology gets even more confusing in the wider needlework world, because in needlepoint (canvas work or tapestry in some countries) there are 3 tent stitches. Your half stitch is a half cross in needlepoint. And your tent stitch is a continental stitch in needlepoint. The way a stitch is executed sometimes matters not all, and sometimes it changes the effect a great deal. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing! That's really interesting!

Can you please show diagonal cross St

I might have missed it, but I'd love a video about how to start and end a line of stitches without knotting the thread.

Yep, they got that. Great video. After 30 years of stitching I learned the loop method to start and love it
