Hi Sean...thanks for the shout out and shop tour. Come to the shop on November 12th for the monthly stitch-in. Great bunch of stitchers every month. Great Flosstube!
This is my first time watching. I was watching always in stitches and she mentioned you. I like the colored charts. You really need to step up your game and work on Linen. Nancy from always in stitches got me hooked.
Love Always in Stitches. I love how they hang their cross stitch fabric. I also quilt so it is a win win on supplies for both. Go there when I visit family. My sister and I are also weekend A. Enjoyed your video.
Congratulations getting into Stitch Con 2023! You certainly have been stitching up a storm! Love the cute little bird you fully finished and can't wait to see the FFO. I love the colors on your Christmas stitch. Your Halloween start should not take long either because of using one or two colors. I am enjoying your progress on the advent calendar and all the different colors. I also prefer black and white charts so I can mark off as I go. As far as fixing your gnome, my hubby said you need a gel super glue because of the strong polar of the magnets and be sure to let dry overnight. Love it when you take us to an LNS but so sad when you leave because it really gives you the shopping bug! I am also like you wanting to stitch everything I have but would probably end up going crazy stitching 24/7. I had to take a time out on my current project. I was frogging and restitching. So, yesterday I said timeout. It is a rabbit, and its eye has all of these 1/4 stitches. I am stitching it on aida which is harder to do. I even used a sharp needle to split the threads and it still didn't look good. I am so glad I got that off my chest to someone. Happy Stitching. So sorry for going on and on, but you covered a lot of ground.
Hi Sean The Christmas Rules is really fun to do. I finished mine last year and hung it up for Christmas . Super fast. It's Cornhusker State Stitchers. I'm from Nebraska so I know. They're great. Thank you for showing your work-always fun to look forward to.
That’s for the tour of the stitching section. It looked pretty great to me! Hope you’re feeling loads better by now! Thanks for the video and inspiration!
Sean, Sean, Sean, we have to get you graduated to linen fabric. I was a diehard Aida stitcher for more than 2 decades until a friend made me stitch on linen and wow, I have never looked back! I too, prefer black and white patterns, too confusing with all the colors! Keep those FlossTube's coming, super enjoy your enthusiasm, happy stitching 🪡
I want to stitch it all too! I find colored charts easier, I find I have to make a larger working copy of a black and white chart if it's too small. I don't highlight or cross off as go. It was my pleasure sending the bag set for the give away, I hope the winner enjoys using it.
I also meant to tell you that I am going to Steel City Stitchers retreat in March also. I lived in Pittsburgh area for many years and call it home. Would be happy to meet to stitch.
Love the stichy store tours. I prefer black & white patterns so much more than color patterns. Sometimes the color patterns tire my eyes out looking at them. But the most important thing is a clearly marked chart. I hate it when designers use symbols that closely resemble another! So frustrating! Especially when a chart is on the smaller side. Keep up the great stitching & hope you try & enjoy the linen! (That's my favorite.)
Love your floss tubes. 25 ct Lugana is definately the gateway to linen. I have just started using linen. Very addictive. I don’t think I will ever go above 32 ct though my eyes are just not that good I use the goofy looking light with the magnifiers Dicfeos. Allow me to stitch on everything over s 14 ct. they are great
I like black and white charts when it's paper especially. Pattern keeper, I'll use for the color charts if possible. I'm going to purchase that Halloween from Teresa soon. Look don'tcha just love the cover chart?! Anyway have a great stitching time. Thanks for sharing your videos. 🧡🌼
E6000 for the glue to use on needle minder. I am an apple user. I use good notes for importing my pictures of my charts. That way I can zoom in to count easier. 3 free imports but I paid the one time fee of less than $10 to use unlimited number of imports. I like color patterns so it can help me see the floss color is changing.
I second this recommendation for Good Notes. I really like that I can highlight my progress in the app. Added bonus: I no longer have to use an actual highlighter pen… I’ve accidentally gotten highlighter marks on my stitching before 😊
Yes !! Make a working copy. Saves the pattern and you can mark to your hearts content ! I also tape big patterns together. It just helps me. I do prefer black and white charts.
I guess I’m 50/50 on color charts because I’m working on Siren of the sea by Autumn lane and I refer to the color chart but work on off the black and white. I know what you mean I just finished four smalls and started the Halloween sampler by Teresa Kogut and it was hard on the color patterns and it was too shiny. Enjoyed catching up with you today and congrats on your finish. Have a wonderful evening and happy stitching 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
The desire to stitch everything is a common problem with this hobby! Trust me, you are not alone! I prefer black and white and will often make myself a working copy so I can highlight as well.
You have lots of great projects going on. First, did anyone recommend for your adhesive E6000. I think a lot of people use it for their magnets. Also, on the colored charts, could you make a black and white copy of the colored chart? The color symbols would still show? Always In Stitches looks like a great shop.
Hello, Sean, I generally prefer black and white charts. I always make a working copy, sometimes you can make a black and white copy to mark off as you stitch. Take care.
Found you today, great videos. Your samplers are enticing me to start a few, I am more of a full coverage type stitcher. I do like color but I like completely black as well, so 60/40. I suggest Stitching Jules, she designs as well. I have a few of her patterns ready and waiting for the perfect fabric.
Another great video. I too don't care for color charts. I am a paper chart person and have to highlight the area I finished. I usually take the color chart and copy in b & w and make it as bright as I can to be able to see symbols. Heard your stitch harmony shoutout. Too bad I am in FL. I don't have stitchers or store near me either. I hope you are able to connect with people in your area. Have a great week!
If I started everything I wanted to stitch I would have over 100 WIPs. Then nothing would ever get finished. It is so hard to pick my next project when I do finish one. The Halloween start is very cute! I am with you on the charts. I prefer black and white because I make a working copy and use an erasable highlighter on it.
Hey Mr. Hollick! Great to see you again! Awesome wips! I don't like colored charts. They are too hard for me to read. Love the shop tour. So much great stuff. I so wish we had great shops like that here in Michigan. Of course, I'm sure my hubby likes that there isn't because our wallet would be empty 🤣 Hope you have a great stitchy week. Much love ❤
Found your channel through stitchmandarcy and have enjoyed watching all of your videos! I prefer black and white patterns as well. I am working on a paula vaughan chart that is colored, and I put off working on it because of the colored chart
Oh! And on projects that are on dark fabrics...I wonder if it would help at all to stitch on white or cream and then stitch a thick outline in black or dark colors around the picture itself?? That way it pops still but is also eyeball friendly?? Hope that makes sense...
Wow! I would like to go in a shop like that. Where I live that doesn’t exist. We have just a Michaels with very little things in it. We have to order on Internet at shops that we see on Flosstube. Thank you for your videos.
You have some great projects, Sean. Linen is not difficult. If you need help, I’m here to assist. I’ve been working on it for along time and I’ve never looked back. 😊 Keep me updated on stitchy news in the area. I prefer black & white charts but I’ll stitch from anything. You can always make a working copy to mark-up which leaves your original in pristine condition.
Hi Mr Hollick Great video! I like black and white patterns I copy myself. That way I use colored pencils to highlight what I’ve done in that particular color. I just like it like dat lol🥰
Your a joy to watch your so enthusiastic about your stitching. I like your Halloween start good job on the witch. I always make a copy of my patterns to work on. Happy stitching
I don’t care if it’s in color or black and white. I seldom highlight a pattern. I use a magnetic board with the long magnets to keep my place when I’m stitching. I glue on washers and magnets using a glue gun. I have heard E6000 is a really good glue but have not used it. Thanks for the video.
So glad for you to have gotten in on StitchCon! That wasn't a very big haul for you, you will have to go shopping soon. You are stitching on some great projects. Feel better soon.
Congrats on Stitch-Con! Weekend B for me. I never mark my charts. I make a working copy (B&W) and mark that so I can sell the original or give away at a free table. Pattern Keeper is the app. But there are ways to do the same for iOS devices. I bought a tablet that is just for Pattern Keeper. The only other apps are TH-cam, Netflix, and a podcast app. Perfect for stitching while I work.
Congrats on getting into Stitch-con!! You’ll have a great time 😊. I also love a black and white pattern and I highlight. I will try to make a working copy of a color chart to black and white then try to make it as light as can. Sometimes I have to use a darker highlighter. You are so lucky to have so many cross stitch shops by you. I think we only have one in SoCal and it’s a trek for me.
Hello Sean! I just found your channel late tonite and enjoyed your walkabout the Always in Stitches shop. You were right when you said how Big the store was and the cross stitch section at the back was also very big! Nice! I think I also prefer black and white charts. I don’t mark off as I go. I bought some engineer tape and pull off a couple of pieces to mark the area I am stitching. Works well for me. Bought it at Michaels in the architect’s section. Easy to lift off to move around. I am excited to go to my first retreat next May here in Canada at Stitch North! I live nearby, so can drive there each day. I will look fwd to your next video! Cheers 🧑🏻🦰🍁🇨🇦
Lugana is awesome to stitch on! I just made the switch from Aida for the first time on my current focus piece and I’m already addicted 😊. Love your videos!
Hi. When I got back to cross stitching in Feb 2021 , I was like you and was not really liking Aida anymore, so tried Lugana. I love doing the loop stitch , using 2 over 1 on 20 count Lugana. I have some 25 and 28 that I will attempt next. I find the needle just glides in and up in Lugana! 🧑🏻🦰🍁🇨🇦
First time viewer and really happy I heard you mentioned on Stitch Harmony. Unfortunately I'm in NZ sooo a lil far for a stitchy meet up lol but I'm sure you will get a group in no time. Will def be mentioning you in my next floss, loved today's show n going back to watch from start. Great tour too. Love your Halloween start. Hope your cough clears (lemon honey ginger lol). Off to load up your other episodes now
I don’t care if chart is BW or colored cause I don’t mark anything off. I don’t stitch from a device either. I may make a small mark on a chart but generally know where I am. I don’t make working copies either. I really enjoy the shop tours.
I prefer black/white copies. I am older and sometimes the colors are so dark I can’t see the symbols and sometimes the shades of colors are too similar for me to distinguish. It doesn’t stop me from stitching though! LOL Were you trying to think of Pattern Keeper? I just use paper patterns myself. I hope you find some people to stitch with. It gets lonesome by yourself. Pls keep the videos coming!
I prefer black and white charts because I highlight on mine as well. I don't plan on giving the chats away after I'm done so why not. Your gonna have to make a working copy and stich on that.
Hey hey! I will echo others who say E6000 to fix your needle minder. Mind your fingers or they’ll be stuck together for awhile. Welcome to evenweave and lugana stitching. I still like Aida sometimes, but I definitely have converted to preferring linen. I also much prefer black and white charts, hard copy or digital. My eyes struggle to differentiate symbols with color charts, especially when they use a symbol and a color. Just why?! 😂 I use Markup R-XP on my iPhone. Works similar to Pattern Keeper and I like it a lot for full coverage pieces so I don’t have to print hundreds of pages.
e6000 glue buy the tiny tubes. I like the Noel chart and I have to try Cottage Gardens threads!! Sean, have you tried the ‘XStitch plus’ app on your device to inventory your charts, threads etc? I’m trying the 7 day trial option now. It is working great for me. I found out about this app at the gathering I went to here in Iowa this past weekend.
I prefer black & white charts as well. I don’t like to mark my patterns with a highlighter, so I photo copy in black & white, and presto, I have a black & white working copy! Were you referring to the app “Pattern Keeper?” A few in my stitching group uses this app. Our stitching group got started a month ago through Stitch Harmony that Pam & Steph (Just Keep Stitching) featured a stitcher near me. I was so excited, I contacted the Featured Stitcher & joined the group. We are now at 30. Hope Stitch Harmony finds local stitchers for you to stitch with. We are a fun group. We joke now that we are large enough to start our own weekend retreat! I bet you can find some stitchers in that shop you featured! What a cool store!
Get some e6000 glue. Just a small dot. It's very slippery so pinch it together for a few min or it will slide around. I have a very hard time seeing linen vs evenweave not sure why it's so much harder 🤷♀️
I hate color charts!! For the same reason you do. But it seems to be the way many designers are going, because I think many do like the colored charts. Here is a tip, go buy a white gel pen and you can use that to mark off stitches on a color chart. It works especially well if the chart colors are dark.
Dude! I just love your enthusiasm. It’s so cute! I’m just down the road from Always In Stitches and would enjoy stitching with you sometime. Also, we have a stitch group that meets at Always In Stitches once a month on a Saturday (all day or as long as you like). Our next one is on Nov 12. DM me for more info if you’re interested or you can call the shop. Congrats on getting in to Stitch Con. I’m going to weekend B. It’s my first time and I’m already so excited. 🥳
Hey if you go and check out Kelsey Lee & Things floss tube from Nov. 1st she has an idea for something that works with our Apple products. I haven’t tried it yet and she just got it so not sure how good it is?
I had to pause to tell you that Mornings Breakfast and Brunch is our favorite place!!! I replied to Pam and Steph’s video. My husband and I live 15 minutes from Fishers. We both stitch. You can get in touch w me via Instagram we’re friends already. ❤ Happy stitching!!
Hurray I am so happy about winning the farm project bag. I am not on facebook or Instagram can I have your e-'mail so I can send you my address. Thanks,Pat Crockett
Hi Sean...thanks for the shout out and shop tour. Come to the shop on November 12th for the monthly stitch-in. Great bunch of stitchers every month. Great Flosstube!

I found you through Alijuuno. Glad to meet you! Just wait till you get into that Lugana and linen! Sooo amazing! Love your ink too!

But the most important thing is a clearly marked chart. I hate it when designers use symbols that closely resemble another! So frustrating! Especially when a chart is on the smaller side.

I saw you interviewed by Becca on Sambrie stitches. I also prefer Balch and white charts. I like to make a working copy and highlight what I stitch.
Still watching the video, but before I forget, I’ll second the E6000 for the glue for the needle minder. He’ll be ready in no time.
Love your floss tubes. 25 ct Lugana is definately the gateway to linen. I have just started using linen. Very addictive.

I love colored charts but if you don’t just put it on your printer scan it to black and white and print it out. 😊
Yes !! Make a working copy. Saves the pattern and you can mark to your hearts content ! I also tape big patterns together. It just helps me. I do prefer black and white charts.

I found you because of lanene at always in stitches, she recommended you. you are doing well
Pam and steph mentioned you in their stitch friends segment. Maybe you’ll find your group!😊
You need a little E6000 glue for your little gnome guy 😊
Thanks!!
Hello, Sean, I generally prefer black and white charts. I always make a working copy, sometimes you can make a black and white copy to mark off as you stitch. Take care.

I so wish we had great shops like that here in Michigan. Of course, I'm sure my hubby likes that there isn't because our wallet would be empty 🤣 Hope you have a great stitchy week. Much love ❤
Hahah great point!!!
Markup R-XP works for iOS to upload and markup charts. I also prefer black and white charts.
Found your channel through stitchmandarcy and have enjoyed watching all of your videos! I prefer black and white patterns as well. I am working on a paula vaughan chart that is colored, and I put off working on it because of the colored chart
Oh! And on projects that are on dark fabrics...I wonder if it would help at all to stitch on white or cream and then stitch a thick outline in black or dark colors around the picture itself?? That way it pops still but is also eyeball friendly?? Hope that makes sense...
Your needleminder is now named knome-ore. LOL
I love all your projects... As for the colored charts, make a working copy in black and white. Keep up the good work.
Wow! I would like to go in a shop like that. Where I live that doesn’t exist. We have just a Michaels with very little things in it. We have to order on Internet at shops that we see on Flosstube. Thank you for your videos.

Your a joy to watch your so enthusiastic about your stitching. I like your Halloween start good job on the witch. I always make a copy of my patterns to work on. Happy stitching
Great catching up with you. Congratulations on going to StitchCon. You can use E6000 for your needleminders. It works great. See ya next time.
I don’t care if it’s in color or black and white. I seldom highlight a pattern. I use a magnetic board with the long magnets to keep my place when I’m stitching. I glue on washers and magnets using a glue gun. I have heard E6000 is a really good glue but have not used it. Thanks for the video.
Great job on the SAL. Thanks for the mention!
So glad for you to have gotten in on StitchCon! That wasn't a very big haul for you, you will have to go shopping soon. You are stitching on some great projects. Feel better soon.
Congrats on Stitch-Con! Weekend B for me. I never mark my charts. I make a working copy (B&W) and mark that so I can sell the original or give away at a free table.

Hello Sean! I just found your channel late tonite and enjoyed your walkabout the Always in Stitches shop. You were right when you said how Big the store was and the cross stitch section at the back was also very big! Nice! I think I also prefer black and white charts. I don’t mark off as I go. I bought some engineer tape and pull off a couple of pieces to mark the area I am stitching. Works well for me. Bought it at Michaels in the architect’s section. Easy to lift off to move around. I am excited to go to my first retreat next May here in Canada at Stitch North! I live nearby, so can drive there each day. I will look fwd to your next video! Cheers 🧑🏻🦰🍁🇨🇦
Definitely E6000 glue for your needle minder.
I prefer black and white charts. I also use a highlighter to mark my progress. Try copying the colored charts in black & white!
Lugana is awesome to stitch on! I just made the switch from Aida for the first time on my current focus piece and I’m already addicted 😊. Love your videos!
Hi. When I got back to cross stitching in Feb 2021 , I was like you and was not really liking Aida anymore, so tried Lugana. I love doing the loop stitch , using 2 over 1 on 20 count Lugana. I have some 25 and 28 that I will attempt next. I find the needle just glides in and up in Lugana! 🧑🏻🦰🍁🇨🇦
hello well when a make a needle munder i use E6000 glue
ONG I’m in stitchcon A as well!!! I can’t wait to meet you!!!
I think that you can print those charts out in black-and-white even if they’re color
Yes you can but the come out very dark
Thanks for sharing. 👍
First time viewer and really happy I heard you mentioned on Stitch Harmony. Unfortunately I'm in NZ sooo a lil far for a stitchy meet up lol but I'm sure you will get a group in no time. Will def be mentioning you in my next floss, loved today's show n going back to watch from start. Great tour too. Love your Halloween start. Hope your cough clears (lemon honey ginger lol). Off to load up your other episodes now
Thanks for stopping by enjoy!

Sean, have you tried the ‘XStitch plus’ app on your device to inventory your charts, threads etc? I’m trying the 7 day trial option now. It is working great for me.
I found out about this app at the gathering I went to here in Iowa this past weekend.
Yes I love XStitchPlus app!

Get some e6000 glue. Just a small dot. It's very slippery so pinch it together for a few min or it will slide around. I have a very hard time seeing linen vs evenweave not sure why it's so much harder 🤷♀️
Great video!!!
How do you sign up for the virtual event?
Use “GORILLA GLUE” to re-attach your needle minder!
Just click on the @caterpillarcrossstich link in the description and should be on their website
Like black and white but do not mark up my charts. I use a magnetic board and
Magnets to keep track of project.
Hi if you like black and white paper charts photo copy in black and I use e600 glue it the best thanks for the vids
I hate color charts!! For the same reason you do. But it seems to be the way many designers are going, because I think many do like the colored charts. Here is a tip, go buy a white gel pen and you can use that to mark off stitches on a color chart. It works especially well if the chart colors are dark.
Great idea!!
Dude! I just love your enthusiasm. It’s so cute! I’m just down the road from Always In Stitches and would enjoy stitching with you sometime. Also, we have a stitch group that meets at Always In Stitches once a month on a Saturday (all day or as long as you like). Our next one is on Nov 12. DM me for more info if you’re interested or you can call the shop. Congrats on getting in to Stitch Con. I’m going to weekend B. It’s my first time and I’m already so excited. 🥳
How do I DM you?
@@MrHollick LOL! I dunno! I will email you. 😉

I prefer colored charts, I use erasable highlighters.
Hey if you go and check out Kelsey Lee & Things floss tube from Nov. 1st she has an idea for something that works with our Apple products. I haven’t tried it yet and she just got it so not sure how good it is?
I found you through HoosierStitcher group. Color charts are Horrible.
I use Pattern keeper on my android, but I think there is an app on ios called XStitch Plus.
Make a workable copy of your chart in b&w. Then you can mark till your hearts content and not ruin your original copy. I like color better myself.
