    So when the tattoo oozes out. Would that cause a small tiny heart to not look like a heart? I'm only a day into it

    In the UK, you are taught to start in the middle of a project so it is centered on the aida, linen etc. If it is a small project, I will sometimes start at the edge but always feel guilty if I do.😂

    I used to cross-stich a lot in grade-school (ages 4-9 I think I did), and then I just didn't. Don't know why I stopped, but now, at 22 I am getting back into it. Useful video for returning stichters!

    Stamped cross stitches are easier for beginners- no need to find center.

    hey, i wanted to ask how you manage keeping cats and living in a van? Did they ever run away?

  • @EmmalynEtc
    @EmmalynEtc2 ай бұрын

    No! They see the van as their home, and just like most indoor cats they would rather be safe in their home than running through a parking lot. We regularly stand around with the doors open and unless we're out in nature camping, they are curious but don't try to jump outside. When we do let them outside, always where it's quiet and away from cars or dogs or other things that could stress them out, it's always with airtags on harnesses and leashes so they're never roaming without supervision :) It might be different for cats who were strays or were adopted when they were older, but our fur babies have been with us since 8 weeks old and have no concept of how to survive in the wild. They are pretty easy, we got lucky!

    Or you could buy a the ones with a color coded pattern printed on the material 😅 if yhat makes me a peasant im ok with that. If i had to count those tiny squares, i never would have started this hobby. Btw, most of the prepatterned kits have water soluble color. Soak it for a while and the color disappears

    The prep work before doing a project is the key to success. I always use a needle for every color. I kind of did this naturally as I hate threading needles. I love how you organize your thread in different bags. I just ordered a pattern that is going to be the most comprehensive project of my life. As I wait to receive it, I've been going through videos for any helpful tips. I think I'm going to sort my threads in bags and label them with the symbol that uses it, along with the name of of the color and its dye number. Thanks, you have given me a really good idea.

    I seen you taking off your saniderm under running water and you also took yours off after 5 days? My artist said to take it off after 3 days and they didnt mention anything about the use of water and im scared they gave me less information than they should have? My saniderm felt almost stuck to the tattoo during removal and im worried i may have hurt it 😩 thoughts?

    I am a etsy seller and I just wanna say I'm sorry you both went threw that , reach out to the sellers before purchasing question them about their product if they dont sound genuine or they sound like a bot then they could be a scammer , I always reach out to a customer after they purchase and give updates on what's been finished , and when I will be able to ship and I keep an eye on tracking and give updates every once in awhile on when they would receive their order. This way they know I care alot about providing them with the product they want and I've never had any customers get upset or hate their products. Lots of us are caring small businesses owners creating homemade products.
