  You look like you doing the Victorian Cross stitchway. It looks awesome, and it works for you. Looks awesome. I have seen some people do the Danish Cross-stitch way on u tube, and some do the English way. 😮

  I work lower left to top right, then lower right to top left, working across the row before turning back. Is there an advantage to the way you do it? How do you keep skin oils from discoloring the fabric?

• 
  @bellastitchery80434 ай бұрын

  For me, it's just a matter of what's comfortable to handle and stitch. I always wash and dry my hands before taking anything out of my cross stitch bag, so I've never had issues with staining or discoloration. I make sure not to have any kind of lotion on too.

  @bellastitchery80435 ай бұрын

  Thank you so much for your comments and kind words! I use a software program called PC Stitch and it gives me a digital version of what they will look like stitched. I have stitched several of my patterns (maybe close to a dozen?) but certainly not all 1,000+ lol. I love getting updated finished project photos from customers so I can see lots of different tapestries that way and share them on social media. I keep a file on my computer of buyer's finished project pics.

  What a beautiful card you made, there's a lot you can do with tissue paper. I make a lot of Tonic boxes and I like to put matte mod podge on the outside to make them sturdier. I used a very similar lacy die cut for the edges of my last box. If you have flower dies, just cut multiple layers and glue together in the center. Tissue paper is also nice for word shadows when you want a flat card. Thanks for the video.

I love your teaching style, too! You are funny and happy. I use mica powders in the mold then pour. When it's cured I add some to the surface, then use gloss spray sealer, and it looks like it's made of glass or ceramic. I love your ideas. I'm going to try them right now. Thanks again for sharing.

  Will thewax not work straight onthe card stock. What is the purpose for the gesso?

• 
  @bellastitchery804311 ай бұрын

  I find that the gesso makes the paint stick and pop more than when it's directly on the cardstock. It also sets the gears to the cardstock so it looks like one big piece (instead of seeing the edges of the die-cuts on top (plus you can use different colors of cardboard or paper for the dies if you paint them all black). :)

  I'm glad you never wasted a decade on the slow stitching like I did - lol. I don't know why I never saw this before I found it accidentally. I used to find cross stitching somewhat boring before. I think it was just way too slow the other, full X, way.

• 
  @ramonalee1 Жыл бұрын

  So, I cross stitched years ago and just yesterday I got out my unfinished projects to think about finishing or giving away. This is interesting because I remember when I learned, I was told that all your x's have to be done the same, i.e. either right to left top to bottom first then left to right top to bottom to complete the x or any combination you want but I was told that if you change it up throughout your piece, it will look uneven and ragged and unprofessional. So have you noticed that you can tell a difference when you do all half stitches then all the other side of half stitches in a row or when you do a row of complete x's?

• 
  @bellastitchery8043 Жыл бұрын

  I hope you finish the projects you started - I need to get back to mine too. It's been awhile since I've done much stitching (too many crafts, too little time). I haven't had any issues with changing up the way I stitch throughout, but I always have them stretched and framed, so it all evens out that way anyway. :)
