5 Things You Need to Start Cross Stitch
I like using a Sewline mechanical pencil to mark my grids, it comes with colored ceramic leads meant to mark up fabric. It’s easy to use, washes out completely and it can be erased with a white eraser(though it doesn’t come out completely that way). Actually I find my grids fade a bit as I’m working from contact. They’re a bit pricey because it’s a Japanese brand, but I believe Dritz and a couple other companies make them as well. Not sure the quality though.
Very helpful, thank you
I’m so glad it was helpful!
Cool idea, love your skirt.
Thank you! It’s definitely my favorite skirt 😌
Good information.
I'm glad it was helpful!
I find the quality of easy count fabric isn't as nice. I think it's best for full coverage projects.
That makes sense to me! I haven’t tried it, but it’s not surprising that it’s lower quality
Way too fast
So sorry this was too fast for you! Is there any specific part that would be helpful to see slower?
My poor arthritic hands are so less sore since I started using my rectangular, plastic Nurge hoops. I don’t like using floor stands because I’m always having to move them out of the way when I’m not stitching. I live in a small space.
I am so glad the Nurge hoops have helped you stitch with less soreness! That is definitely a good point about floor stands taking up a lot of room, especially in a smaller space
You came up on my recommendations today. Glad I decided to check you out. Great information & I'm happy to subscribe. I've come back to cross stitch after a 30 year hiatus. I am retired now, so have more time to take up another craft again. I am also a quilter.
Welcome back to cross stitch! More crafting time is a wonderful thing ♥️
Hello. I have just subscribed. I am getting back into cross stitch after 10 years of almost exclusively quilting.
Thank you for subscribing! And welcome back to the world of cross stitch, we’re glad to have you 😊
So helpful! Thanks for showing your setup!
I’m so glad it was helpful!
Beautiful work! How did you do in the state fair competition?
Thank you! I don’t know the results yet, but hopefully I’ll be able to see this weekend!
I saw one of your shorts a couple of days ago and thanks to you I finally found the courage to buy cross stitching supplies. Your work looks gorgeous 😍
Oh my goodness, this is the best comment I could receive!! I hope you love cross stitching, welcome to the club ♥️
That looks amazing! I don't even have a Nintendo system and want one of those
Thank you!! I'm really happy with how it turned out ♥️
This is gorgeous!!! Where did you get the pattern for it or did you design the pattern yourself? 🥰
I converted pixel art made by Pixel Jess to a pattern for myself (with permission form the artist)
@@nerderbers_stitching oooohhh!!! That's really cool!!! I never thought of that! Pixel art would be a good way to think of patterns for cross-stitch! With artist permission ofc or if you're an artist that knows how to do it yourself 💕
@@jennifercentobene1162 totally! I'm trying to get into pixel art myself, but it's always soooo much slower than I expect it to be
Murphy's Law always comes into play with anything involving Mario Sunshine. The most perfectly imperfect game imaginable.
Haha! I suppose it is fitting 😂
Looks beautiful, love me some Delfino Plaza!
Thank you!
Excellent video❤
I’m glad you liked it!
Can you do a piece that has a circular setting? Basically I am working on a circular kit and wondering if I should leave it in the hoop. Also thank you for these videos
I will add that to my list! I actually have a finished circular piece that I haven’t framed yet in my closet 😂
I'm getting a mic stand! Still on the look out for a floor stand on Ebay, one day I will find an affordable one! The hunt continues! Thanks doll face! Cheers
A mic stand is such a good idea as a substitute for a floor stand! I hope that works well for you 🤞
That is the way I learned how to cross stitch, glad to know it's an actual method.
It seems this is the most common method folks learn!
@@nerderbers_stitching Also a cleaner look in the back!
It's really the only method..there isn't another way
I mostly agree! Except for projects with a lot of confetti stitches or if I'm using variegated thread. Then I think the English method (one stitch at a time) works better for me
What a comfy little video. :) I can't "afford" to add cross-stitch into my troublingly large backlog of arts&crafts projects, so I'll just admire it from this distance. 👋 also YO THAT PROJECT IS MASSIVE. Is that Delfino Plaza?
That's how I feel about crochet! I love seeing what people create, but I don't need a giant collection of yarn in my closet 😅 And yes, it is!! I'm so glad you recognized it ♥️ Based on incredible pixel work and made with permission from the original artist, @pixeljess on IG
When I got into cross stitching I just figured on my own that this would be good as not to get lost. Now it turns out it has a name 😅
I definitely think this method is helpful for keeping track of things! Way easier than counting every single individual stitch 😅
@@nerderbers_stitching by the way, did you think about making a video on taking breaks between colours? I've seen people take a break from a colour by leaving the thread hanging from behind and then coming back to it. I never thought about it myself before I saw it so it could be helpful to people.
Ooh, that’s a great idea! It’s called “parking”, like, parking your thread over in the next place to stitch. I’ll definitely add that to my list of videos to make ♥️
I didn't know that was the name of the method. It's just how my mom taught me. Neat
Your mom taught you well ♥️
Neat! I didn't know that it would make it lie flat. Thank you for the information. Glad i came across your video while scrolling.
I’m so glad it was helpful!
I AM DYING THE NAME IS THE DANISH METHOD…
Yes! Lots of people just think of it as “regular cross stitch” 😂
Great video! Simple and easy to follow ❤
Thank you! Trying to keep it “to the point” but also enough info to be helpful
Speak for yourself, I’ll get those last 2 stitches with my scraggly floss remnants or I’ll die trying
I will admit I’ve done it many times myself. But I started to notice a difference in tension on those stitches, so I try not to!
Welcome to TH-cam! This is very cute ♥️ Also, chenille is pronounced “shuh-neel”
Oh gosh, neither of my attempts was correct 🫢🫢
