I have heard, on various floss tubes, that an option for stitching over one is to use Au Ver a Soie Surfine. It's a finer silk with good results for stitching over one. I believe this was a recommendation from the Attic. Hope this is helpful. Your WIPS are coming along so beautifully. Your finishes deserve a BRAVO! Take care my dear friend.
Also if you want a sewing thread, a 50wt or above would be fine enough to not make your stitches look crowded. Brands to check out would be Aurifil, Superior Threads, and Quilters Select. They are high quality threads I have used and love in quilting.
I’ve heard this too on the Traditional Stitches Flosstube. They are even offering it as an option for their HATs kits and they have a recommended needle to use as well.
Hello, Susan, so good to see you. I have a sample of Soie Surfine to try. I appreciate the information. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Hello, Deborah, so nice to see you. I appreciate your recommendations and will write down those brands. Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
❤. I’m just over the moon with your Ersilia finish! You’ve motivated me to start with 2 threads a day on my own Ersilia! Your FFO’s are just gorgeous! Just look at what the finisher you have become! I treasure you and our time spent stitching together! Take care Sarah! ❤
Good morning, Deborah, so nice to see you. I think you will be pleasantly surprised in what you can accomplish with two threads per day. I do love our time together as well. Sending love and joy for the holiday season.
Good morning, Carol, so nice to see you. I so appreciate the information you shared with me. I thought the chart was similar to other Told in the Garden charts I have seen. I certainly had no idea she was the mother of Nora Corbett. What a designing legacy. Thank you for watching and your informative comment.
You are such a pleasure to watch. Your love of cross stitch is evident in the way you talk about your pieces as well as the cross stitch community. Your stitching is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I see that other viewers have already provided their suggestions re threads for 1-over-1 stitching. I had heard about AVAS 100.3 and surfine, but someone also mentioned Gutterman's which was new to me. Learning new things! Thank you for including viewer shares in your flosstubes. It's fun seeing the variety. And, yes, Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum was Nora Corbett's mother. You can certainly see style similarities in some of their pieces. My mom used to stitch a lot of patterns from both of them back in the day (early 90s?). Funny story: Mom ran across a problem in one of NC's charts, so she called the number printed on the cover and got Mr. Corbett on the line. He helpfully asked NC for clarification and relayed it to Mom. Different times! Take care.
Hello, so nice to see you. Every one has been so generous with their suggestions. I was thrilled to hear about the Gutterman’s, because I do have a JoAnn’s close. What a lovely story about your mother. Yes, times have changed. My father was always one to pick up the phone as well. Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
Sarah I love watching your FlossTube. Your stitching is absolutely beautiful. Your love for cross stitch is infectious you make me want to try and stitch every day. I especially love the videos and pictures that you share of little Vince. He is growing up so fast and getting cuter by the day❤
Good morning, Kim, so nice to see you. I am thrilled to have her finished. Thank you for watching and all of your glorious inspiration. Sending joy and laughter for the holiday season.
Thank you for another fabulous flosstube! 🌺Its a really treat, when I listen to you, while I stitch! Your WIPs are absolutely beautiful! Congrats on finishing the sampler! It is simply stunning! Love Seasons of the Heart, beautiful colors on design! I need to look for this gem! Have a wonderful week! Happy Stitching! 🌷❤
Good morning, so nice to see you. The Blue Flower has released all of the Seasons of the Heart. If you subscribe to Punch Needle and Primitive Stitcher, all four seasons have been in the appropriate issues for 2021-2022, I believe. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Happy holiday stitching.
You shared my finishes, thank you!! I realized after I sent you the pics that I hadn’t put the bottoms on the Lori Holt one, haha. I have them set aside for when I find the right frame. Thank you for doing FlossTube, you really seem like a spectacular person. So kind. As for ads/commercials, I think there are two factors. One is that I think advertisers have certain quotas for ad time that they need quarterly and as the quarters come to a close they are short and advertise more. And second, I think it also depends on each users actual interaction with the ads. I do let some of them play out on the tv when I’m watching FlossTube because my hands are busy. So I might “watch” more ads per quarter than someone else. But maybe someone who skips commercials faster will have more 5-second interruptions for ads because they don’t ever watch a 30-second ad. Just my thoughts. Can’t wait to see you next time!!
Hello, Jennifer, so good to see you. I loved sharing your stitched pieces. I appreciate you taking the time to send them to me. I think you may have something regarding the ad situation. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Happy holiday stitching.
I Love to watch your videos. You just have a personality that is so caring, just bright and cheery.( We need that in this crazy world today)Take care and Enjoy 💚
Stitching over one: Use the sewing thread!! You like the result, and it is thread! Haven't we heard somewhere, "Stitch what you love?" Looked great from here. Thanks for showing the work that others have sent in, Sarah. Love seeing those pieces along with yours. And thanks for sharing, "One Kind Word". So important! All the best!
Good morning, Marcia, so nice to see you. I appreciate all of your encouragement regarding one over one stitching. I truly love sharing other viewer’s stitching. I have some beautiful pieces lined up for the next video. I am thinking of doing “One Kind Word” in a variegated rainbow silk. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching
Good morning, Emmy Rose, so nice to see you. I always feel wonderful after reading your kind comments as well. So appreciated. Thank you for watching. Sending love and wishes for a happy holiday.
I love all your finishes and wips! You are such a warm and caring woman. It was so nice to meet you in one of the stitching lounges at the Jingle Ball. I had a great time meeting a lot of stitchers as I have never been to a retreat. I do hope to be able to attend one or two in 2024. Thank you for showing my two pieces on your show, it was such an honor ( I had my husband sit and watch as I didn't tell him you were going to be showing).
Good morning, so nice to see you. I did enjoy connecting at the Jingle Ball. I was thrilled to share your two pieces on my FlossTube. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. I hope we meet some day in person.
Good morning, Nancy, so nice to see you. I love the frame for Eliza’s French Birds and had inspiration from Annie, The Proper Stitcher. Thank you for watching and all your kind words. Happy holiday Stitching.
Good morning, Nancy, so nice to see you. I love the frame for Eliza’s French Birds and had inspiration from Annie, The Proper Stitcher. Thank you for watching and all your kind words. Happy holiday Stitching.
Thank you for a wonderful time together. It's always a joy to see your stitching and finishing. It inspired me to get brave and perhaps send some finished to you someday. Christmas stitching has been such a pleasure lately! You are a blessing to the community, please share again soon.
Hello, Desiree, so good to see you. I agree about the Christmas stitching. I have really been into it this month. I would love to see and share your finishes. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Doesn’t lacing feel like magic?!? I just did it for the first time as well and could not have been more pleased with the result or the way it made me believe in myself 😂. So many beautiful starts and wips. As always, thank you so much for sharing. Thank you for sharing my hashtag as well. It is so nice to feel your support.
Good morning, Karen, so nice to see you. I am not quite sure I am at the magic phase of lacing, but I do plan to get there. I did feel good about myself for giving it a go. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching, my friend.
Sarah, It is always a happy day when your video shows up in my feed. I loved seeing your WIPs. I love your fabric choice for Red Deer. It is coming along. You are working on so many beautiful things. Happy stitching. Best, K
Good morning, Karen, so nice to see you. I must admit I love the fabric for Red Deer Sampler. Thank you for watching. Wishing you and your family much joy for the holiday season.
I think soie surfine would be just the ticket. Don’t beat yourself up on this. You do beautiful work and we are always much harder on ourselves. Good luck and love watching you. Happy holidays. Xoxo
Good morning, Janine, so nice to see you. I so appreciate your encouragement and support regarding the one over one. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Sarah,you can do the over one! You can use Soie surfine or Tudor silk.Acorns and Threads can advise you.Both are very fine threads perfect for your needs. You are a beautiful stitcher as well as our guiding light! We love you so much.Thank you for your uplifting videos.❤
Good morning, Cynde, so lovely to see you. Your kind words are a wonderful way to start my day and I so appreciate your encouragement. Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
I agree with robynknits. You could try 100.3 or soie surfine silks. Also will need tapestry needles in size #10 &/or #12. Katie Strachan Embroidery, Has a flosstube called Special thread tutorial: Part 1. Katie talks about different silk thread weights. Hope this helps.
Good morning, Sandra, so lovely to see you. I love Katie Strachan and will certainly give that a look. Thank you for watching and all of your kind support. Happy holiday stitching.
Hi Sarah! Your finish on Ersilia just takes my breath away! So proud for you! Mary 395 is glorious as well. I am also collecting all the Blackbird Designs I can - love them so much. Thank you for your final message. Giving a kind gesture only takes a moment and has a lasting effect. Much love to you and your family this holiday season.
Hello, Marilyn, so nice to see you. I am thrilled with my finish on Ersilia and I feel Mary 395 is close behind. Thank you for watching and your kind and thoughtful comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Sarah, I absolutely love the frame that you chose for Eliza’s French Birds. I actually gasped with delight when I saw it. I am honored that you chose it!! 🤗
Good morning, Judy, always lovely to see you. I got the idea from the one Annie used. I have it sitting by my bed and know it will bring me years of pleasure. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Hi!love your scarf today, and cute earrings. I love earrings. And yup, I sang along with Stan. Lol. Oh you so made me laugh! I too wasn’t sure I wanted to put ira and ida away. We definitely love them don’t we.lol Oh that Merry Christmas is fantastic! I must look for that pattern sometime. Oh Eliza looks great and the colour is perfect. ❤. Oh you finished it! Rightly so to be so pleased, it’s so-big,great accomplishment! Yay🎉. I can’t help cos have never done 1 over 1 and have only dmc here other than odd gentle arts, weeks etc. we don’t have an lns that is easily accessible . That owl on moonlight sampler always catches my eye. So true about kindness, been thinking of Lisa lost in stitches often and pray all goes well. And definitely not everyone enjoys the holidays. See you next time!❤❤. Oh he is growing so fast! Sweetheart!
Good morning, Cindy, so nice to see you. Your comments are always uplifting and encouraging. I made my earrings, thank you for noticing. I completely agree about the owl. Stan and I were just discussing that the other day. Thank you for watching and your continuing support. Happy holiday stitching.
Hello, Dear Rebecca, so good to see you. I appreciate your support for my dangling threads. They really do help me. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
I'm late watching your flosstube as usual. Your inspiration makes me want to stitch more. Unfortunately I haven't been able to stitch in a while and I'm going crazy. Vince is so adorable 🥰
Good morning, Diane, so nice to see you. I hope you will be able to get back to stitching soon and that everything is okay. Thank you for watching and your kind comment.
Very pretty finishes. Great progress on your WIPS. Like someone said, Some Surfine is good for over 1 stitching with a small hoop & beading needle. Vince is too cute! Marilyn
Beautiful finish on Eliza’s French Birds, Sarah! I’m finally catching up on my Flosstube watching and had such a nice time visiting with you and seeing your stitching!
Hello, Katie, married lady! Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching. Sending you and Alex much joy for your first Christmas together as a married couple.
I absolutely cannot have a bad day when I watch your videos! Your kind heart shows through every thought. I am one of those, due to my husbands passing, who is having a hard time during this holiday season. Thank you for being sensitive and aware. May I mention you are bad for my budget 😅 I am now on the hunt for more charts and linens. ❤❤❤
Good morning, Peg, so nice to see you. I can understand that the holidays can be a rough time for you. I am sorry for your loss. I hope you have a network of family and friends to stand by you. Thank you for watching and I am thrilled to enable you a bit. Take care and I will keep you in my heart.
Thank you Sarah for another beautiful flosstube.❤️ You have been a finishing machine! They are gorgeous. I just finished a massive full coverage piece and now I am going to adopt Karen’s (Recovering Monogamous Stitcher) philosophy about making your oldest WIP a focus piece. So mine will be Pandemic. I will send you a picture when it’s done! 😀
Good morning, Brenda, so nice to see you. Congratulations on your finish of a full coverage piece. Such an accomplishment. I will love seeing your finished Pandemic! Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Your framed finish of Eliza's French Birds is absolutely stunning. Thank you so much for your kindness and inspiration and for sharing your beautiful projects and stitching.
Good morning, Lorraine, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. I have Eliza sitting by my bed and enjoying every minute of it. Happy holiday stitching.
I use a silk Guttermann thread that I get from Joann's. It's normally where all the other thread is and if you get it on sale it's a much cheaper option than 100.3 or surfine.
Good morning, Judy, so nice to see you. I appreciate that brilliant suggestion, as I do have a local JoAnn’s. Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
Great video as always! I love your enthusiasm for stitching and really enjoy you sharing other’s finishes! Eliza’s Bluebirds is beautiful and the frame is perfect! You are so close to several more finishes! It will be fun to see how many are finished this year!
Hi Sarah - I think Soie surfine is the thinnest silk thread - it is recommended for 46 and 56 count - I believe that Nicola has recommended that. Try it out. Good luck.
I just stumbled across your podcast. I am amazed by all the pieces that you are working on at one time! Mostly, I have to say that I appreciate your words of encouragement. Our world needs compassion, love, and encouragement. Thanks for making that a part of your podcast.
Wow, your finishes are gorgeous! New starts have great beginning stitches already. Your Red Deer Sampler is stunning on that fabric. I'm glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving visit from your family. Take care, happy stitching. ❤
Good morning, Judy,so nice to see you. I do love my Red Deer Sampler on that crazy fabric. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Happy holiday stitching.
Another video chock full of inspiration! Congrats on your finish on the beautiful Ersilla and you are so close on Pandemic! It's all Christmas stitching for me but will get back to the dapper Reverend after the holidays. ❤Roberta
Good morning, Roberta, so nice to see you. I have been quite exclusive to holiday stitching myself. Thank you for watching and all of your support. Happy holiday stitching.
Good morning, so nice to see you. I appreciate your advice. Jean talked about one over one on her most recent FlossTube with Carolyn. Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
Oh isn’t Ersilia fabulous! Congrats on such a wonderful finish Sarah. I’m curious about a couple of things my friend. Firstly, would you show us some of your beaded snowflakes from your tree, I’d love to see them. And secondly, let’s say that on a recording day you and Stan had “ words”, you know like somebody didn’t empty the dishwasher or put out the trash or some other irk of marital cohabitation, would you have to thank him for your song through gritted teeth? 😉. Of course, I’m just kidding because you and Stan have it together and wouldn’t let petty annoyances interrupt your gratitude, but I’m just asking for a friend 🤣
Hello, sweet Sarah, so nice to see you. I am quite thrilled with the finish on Ersilia. I will show the beaded snowflakes for sure. It will be after Christmas as I just recorded FlossTube #38 at the home where we are pet sitting. I will say this, there can be gritted teeth on occasion, although luckily not too often. So you may Teel your friend, I gritted a few teeth in my life. Take care, my friend. Give Charlotte a big holiday hug from me. She can certainly brighten my day as you do as well.
Hi! Great to join you again! About the over one...go thinner. Since you are stitching on 36 count for that piece, I would to 100/3 AVAS. If you at stitching on 40 count or higher, for the over one then AVAS Surfine. I think its all called Noir, or "black" to us. 😊 Hang in there you can do it! Thanks for another great video
Good morning, Beth, so nice to see you. I so appreciate your advice for the one over one stitching. Thank you for watching and all your encouragement. Happy holiday stitching.
Hi Sarah Love the Beautiful Finish. This is so so pretty. Love all of your WIPS. They are just gorgeous. I am doing 1 x 1 Full Cross on 25 Count and I am using DMC Threads. I like the Coverage. I don’t have any problems with this at all. I even did 310 Black - 1 x 1 - did not have any problems. If I was you Sarah I would just use DMC Threads and do 1 x 1 Full Cross. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵🙏☕️🎄❤️
Good morning, Linda, so nice to see you. I appreciate the suggestions for my one over one stitching. One of my goals for nest year is to try some one over one on 25 count. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Another great Flosstube! I don't know if you are familiar with Jingle Ball - an online cross stitch event. This year they have 10+ designers that have a shop, classes, meet & greet, etc over a weekend. It's a great opportunity to connect with like-minded stitchers. Stephanie from Lindy Stitches is one of the coordinators. It's a lot of fun. I apologize for pointing it out too late as it is this weekend but it would be something for you for next year. You do have to purchase a ticket and it is worth it.
Good morning, Amy, so nice to see you. I appreciate the information regarding the Jingle Ball. I did purchase a ticket, but still need to get better about navigating. I will definitely do it again next year. Thank you for watching.
Hi Sarah, You should hear all the oohs and aahs over here as you showed your finishes and fully finished treasures. They truly are remarkable! And little Vince at the end - so precious. Have a nice week. Happy stitching.. love to you too. ❤🧵🪡
Sarah, I miss our group very much and love your Flosstubes. They are full of content and beautiful stitching. You keep up the good work and spreading smiles and kindness in everything you do!🥰
Good morning, dear Desi, so nice to see you. I wish we could all live closer together and have lots of in person stitchy time. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Sending much love. Happy holiday stitching.
Soie surfine is a silk that is finer than 100/3 and it works well for full crosses on one over one. Jean uses it on 56 count. Jean can help you! Beautiful work,!
Good morning, so nice to see you. Jean is the expert for sure and her latest FlossTube with Carolyn discusses one over one stitching. Thank you for watching,
Congrats on your FFOs (and all your beautiful stitching). I started lacing and framing my smaller pieces and now I frame everything, even my large pieces, so you can do it too! It's not hard to do large pieces, it just takes a little longer. Kudos to you for doing the over one on 36 count. I only tackle over one on 28 count. I usually stitch in hand but I use a hoop for over one. Happy stitching!
Good morning, Judy, so nice to see you. I do hope to get better at framing. I know it will take time, patience and practice. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Wow that scarf is glorious and the colours suit you so well. Thank you for spending time with us all and encouraging us in our stitching and our presence in world. Time for us all to step up. ❤️ to you and yours 🇦🇺
Good morning, Judy, so nice to see you. The scarf was a gift from a very close friend. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Thank you for the reminder to all that the holidays for some are a difficult time and to check on those who may be struggling ❤ I am one of those people this year. What a kind heart you have! Thank you for being you!
Good morning, Nancy, so nice to see you. I am sorry to hear that you are having a difficult time this year. I hope you have a network of friends and/or family to lean on if you need to. I will keep you in my heart and hope that your stitching can also bring some comfort. Thank you for watching and your kind words.
Thank you for taking the time to make your Flosstube. I enjoy hearing you talk about your projects and seeing all the progress. You did a great job fully finishing Eliza's birds ❤
Thanks for another encouraging Flosstube Sarah! I love your pandemic piece, I’ve seen it in many colours but I don’t think in black before. I think it’s my favourite.🖤 We are so blessed to have this hobby and community, thank you for mentioning that!
Hello, Darlene, so nice to see you. I will be sad when I finish Pandemic, although still have many stitching days with it going forward. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
What a lovely family you have Sarah. The Merry Christmas pillow looks great, and the new start Merry Little Christmas will compliment it. The Ersilias Sampler is (to coin a phrase) exquisite, well done, looking forward to seeing it as FFO. For the Ann Campion I would try 100.3, you will find something suitable to you, and that's what it's all about. The MFE red berries is beautiful, this is one I would like to do maybe next year. I hope you will let Dancer share your Christmas, he is adorable. Happy stitching
Good morning, Linda, so nice to see you. I appreciate your suggestions for Ann Campion and now have some 100.3 to try. I love have Dancer’s company at Christmas. Thank you for watching and all of your kind words. Happy holiday stitching.
I agree with robynknits about the 100.3 or soie surfine. Reach out to the Attic and they will let you know which one works best on 36 count. I love your you tube!
I know how you feel about too thick with the 1/1! I use Soie 100/3. That’s thin enough for me, but I MAY buy Soie Surfine for my 56 count project 1/1. Beautiful starts, finishes, and stitching!!! I’m very inspired! Love you! XOXO Heidi
Love your finishes! You are so cheerful to watch! You brighten my day. I have not yet tried one over one so will look for others recommendations for future
For the over one stitches I think it depends on what you like and your stitch count. But if you’re not happy with the way that it’s laying, I would recommend the single cross (tent stitch), it works just great for me and also the soie surfine floss is super thin silk thread. I was so scared of stitching one over one and my first few attempts were awful but I kept at it and now I’m ok with how it’s looking for me on 36 count with the soie 100.3 and the tent stitch. I would just keep plugging away at it and you should get that successful feeling once you get more comfortable with it.
Good morning, so nice to see you. I appreciate you taking the time to give me information and encouragement regarding one over one stitching. I certainly agree that practice will make it better. I do have some 100/3 and Soie surfine to try. I am looking forward to improving my skills. Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
Hi Sara, I would use black 12weight sulky thread for the Campion sampler. It’s just a teeny bit heavier than DMC, and it gives great coverage in a single strand. I think you will be happy with the coverage. Great finishes and WIPS. I’m envious you finished Ersilia. I’m about 2/3 done. It is a stunning sampler. All the best to you and just to let you know I have your hubby and grandson in my prayers. So, just keep looking up and be strong!!! God bless you and your family.
Good morning, Gisela, so nice to see you. I appreciate your great suggestion. I do hope you will share your finished Ersilia with me. Such a beautiful sampler and I already miss stitching on her. Thank you for watching and your prayers for my family. Happy holiday stitching.
Hi Sara, I’m glad I could help. Ersilia is done!!! I only have to go over it carefully to ensure I did not miss anything. Then, it’s off to the framers. Hopefully, I’ll get it there before Christmas, otherwise it will be January. As soon as I get it back, I’ll be sure to send you a picture. Have a blessed holiday season and be well. Hugs…
Your kindness and empathy for others just shines through in every one of your videos. And I forgot to mention that your lovely scarf matches your Merry Christmas finish!
Beautiful stitching Sarah ♥ I believe the lovely Jean Lea would suggest using Soie Surfine for your over one stitching. I’ve heard Brenda recommend using it as well and doing the tent stitch instead of full crosses. Wishing you and Stan a very Merry Christmas! 🎄
Good morning, Linda, so nice to see you. I do have some Soie Surfine to try. If Jean says it, we know it is right. Thank you for watching. Sending joy and love for the holiday season.
I've not noticed ads here Sarah. On new floss tubes I've watched, I noticed every 5 minutes like clockwork, there'd be an ad. On dinner, yum, yum and yum❤❤❤
Good morning, Deidre, so nice to see you. When I mix the fillers for pillows I use the polyfill in corners and around the sides, then I pour in the lizard litter, and top off with more polyfill before I stitch up the opening. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Good morning, Rebecca, so nice to see you. I appreciate the heads up on the ads. Thank you for watching and all of your kind support. Happy holiday stitching.
Hello, Sherry, so nice to see you. Vince is growing so fast, the time goes by so quickly. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Sarah, you need to use Soie Surfine for the 1over1. It is the thinest silk. Also, I have found thr most wonderful thing that has made thr 1 over 1 much easier. It is a small light and magnifier that you can attach to your scroll or Q-Snap. I bought it at Keepsakes. It has made the 😂world of difference and is much better than the magnifier on my floor lamp which was hard to position.
Good morning, Deborah, so nice to see you. I do have some Soie Surfine to try. I use strong readers for fine work. I don’t know if that light/magnifier would work for me as I stitch in hand. I so appreciate your tips. Thank you for watching and all of your support. Happy holiday stitching.
Sarah, I just love your enthusiasm and your beautiful projects. You do give me ideas and that is a little dangerous!! On the sampler you have some over one to do, I have heard that Tudor silk is a thinner silk and can be used on higher count linen. Also, have you tried sulky thread which is a sewing thread and has a wide variety of colors. I wasn't sure if you wanted to stay with silk on the entire sampler. I believe the letter you showed that was tent stitch showed up very well. Stay strong and keep on!!!
Good morning, Vickie, so nice to see you. I appreciate your suggestions regarding floss for the one over one. Now I just need to dig deep and get it done. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
I still can't take 1 strand off the skein like Laura does, I'm challenged! Very nice for her to cook for everyone, looked delish!! Maybe try Soie Surfine, Au Ver A Soie
Good morning, Dee, so nice to see you. I appreciate your suggestions for silks to try. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
![CAMPปลิ้น | รวม Highlight 2024! PART [1/2]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/6hnvNnvYloU/mqdefault.jpg)
I have heard, on various floss tubes, that an option for stitching over one is to use Au Ver a Soie Surfine. It's a finer silk with good results for stitching over one. I believe this was a recommendation from the Attic. Hope this is helpful. Your WIPS are coming along so beautifully. Your finishes deserve a BRAVO! Take care my dear friend.
Also if you want a sewing thread, a 50wt or above would be fine enough to not make your stitches look crowded. Brands to check out would be Aurifil, Superior Threads, and Quilters Select. They are high quality threads I have used and love in quilting.
I’ve heard this too on the Traditional Stitches Flosstube. They are even offering it as an option for their HATs kits and they have a recommended needle to use as well.
Hello, Susan, so good to see you. I have a sample of Soie Surfine to try. I appreciate the information. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Hello, Deborah, so nice to see you. I appreciate your recommendations and will write down those brands. Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
Hello, Shawn, lovely to see you. I appreciate the good information. Thank you for watching. Happy stitching.
❤. I’m just over the moon with your Ersilia finish! You’ve motivated me to start with 2 threads a day on my own Ersilia! Your FFO’s are just gorgeous! Just look at what the finisher you have become! I treasure you and our time spent stitching together! Take care Sarah! ❤
Good morning, Deborah, so nice to see you. I think you will be pleasantly surprised in what you can accomplish with two threads per day. I do love our time together as well. Sending love and joy for the holiday season.
It is a glorious habit, our cross stitching. It has been a blessing for me through some hard times and good. Happy stitching.
Good morning, so nice to see you. We are lucky for our glorious habit. Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
Marilyn Leavitt Imblum is the designer of Told in a Garden and Lavender and Lace. She was also the mother of Nora Corbett.
Good morning, Carol, so nice to see you. I so appreciate the information you shared with me. I thought the chart was similar to other Told in the Garden charts I have seen. I certainly had no idea she was the mother of Nora Corbett. What a designing legacy. Thank you for watching and your informative comment.
You are such a pleasure to watch. Your love of cross stitch is evident in the way you talk about your pieces as well as the cross stitch community. Your stitching is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Good morning, Barbara, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
I don’t receive any commercials when I watch you. Another mystery of this machine 🤓
Hello, Elle, so good to see you. I cannot predict commercials, they seem to be so random. Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
Thanks for sharing all those beautiful stitching. Vince is so cute 🥰. Take care of yourself 🍀🍀
Good morning, Tonny, lovely to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
I see that other viewers have already provided their suggestions re threads for 1-over-1 stitching. I had heard about AVAS 100.3 and surfine, but someone also mentioned Gutterman's which was new to me. Learning new things!
Thank you for including viewer shares in your flosstubes. It's fun seeing the variety. And, yes, Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum was Nora Corbett's mother. You can certainly see style similarities in some of their pieces. My mom used to stitch a lot of patterns from both of them back in the day (early 90s?). Funny story: Mom ran across a problem in one of NC's charts, so she called the number printed on the cover and got Mr. Corbett on the line. He helpfully asked NC for clarification and relayed it to Mom. Different times!
Take care.
Hello, so nice to see you. Every one has been so generous with their suggestions. I was thrilled to hear about the Gutterman’s, because I do have a JoAnn’s close. What a lovely story about your mother. Yes, times have changed. My father was always one to pick up the phone as well. Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
The last picture of Vince is just gorgeous! That one needs to be framed or made into a cross stitch pattern. Happy Stitching 🧵🪡
Good morning, Caryl, so nice to see you. I love that picture of Vince. Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
Thank you for enriching my life with your flosstube brilliant ❤❤❤❤
Good morning, Heather, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Happy holiday stitching.
Sarah I love watching your FlossTube. Your stitching is absolutely beautiful. Your love for cross stitch is infectious you make me want to try and stitch every day. I especially love the videos and pictures that you share of little Vince. He is growing up so fast and getting cuter by the day❤
Hello, Pauline, so good to see you. Thank you for watching and your very kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Oh! Congratulations on your fabulous finish of Ersilia! She’s beautiful!!
Good morning, Kim, so nice to see you. I am thrilled to have her finished. Thank you for watching and all of your glorious inspiration. Sending joy and laughter for the holiday season.
Thank you for another fabulous flosstube! 🌺Its a really treat, when I listen to you, while I stitch! Your WIPs are absolutely beautiful! Congrats on finishing the sampler! It is simply stunning! Love Seasons of the Heart, beautiful colors on design! I need to look for this gem! Have a wonderful week! Happy Stitching! 🌷❤
Good morning, so nice to see you. The Blue Flower has released all of the Seasons of the Heart. If you subscribe to Punch Needle and Primitive Stitcher, all four seasons have been in the appropriate issues for 2021-2022, I believe. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Happy holiday stitching.
You shared my finishes, thank you!! I realized after I sent you the pics that I hadn’t put the bottoms on the Lori Holt one, haha. I have them set aside for when I find the right frame. Thank you for doing FlossTube, you really seem like a spectacular person. So kind.
As for ads/commercials, I think there are two factors. One is that I think advertisers have certain quotas for ad time that they need quarterly and as the quarters come to a close they are short and advertise more. And second, I think it also depends on each users actual interaction with the ads. I do let some of them play out on the tv when I’m watching FlossTube because my hands are busy. So I might “watch” more ads per quarter than someone else. But maybe someone who skips commercials faster will have more 5-second interruptions for ads because they don’t ever watch a 30-second ad. Just my thoughts.
Can’t wait to see you next time!!
Hello, Jennifer, so good to see you. I loved sharing your stitched pieces. I appreciate you taking the time to send them to me. I think you may have something regarding the ad situation. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Happy holiday stitching.
I Love to watch your videos. You just have a personality that is so caring, just bright and cheery.( We need that in this crazy world today)Take care and Enjoy 💚
Hello, Mary Jo, so good to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Getting caught up in the various floss tubes I’ve missed. You are so grateful and kind! Lovely WIPs. Your work and sharing is beautiful.
Hello, Jan, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Until we meet again! Thanks for sharing your time with me ☺️
Good morning, Allison, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment.
Stitching over one: Use the sewing thread!! You like the result, and it is thread! Haven't we heard somewhere, "Stitch what you love?" Looked great from here.
Thanks for showing the work that others have sent in, Sarah. Love seeing those pieces along with yours. And thanks for sharing, "One Kind Word". So important! All the best!
Good morning, Marcia, so nice to see you. I appreciate all of your encouragement regarding one over one stitching. I truly love sharing other viewer’s stitching. I have some beautiful pieces lined up for the next video. I am thinking of doing “One Kind Word” in a variegated rainbow silk. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching
Gorgeous FFO's. Both are perfect. I can't say enough how much I enjoy spending time with you. I always feel amazing after watching your episodes.
Good morning, Emmy Rose, so nice to see you. I always feel wonderful after reading your kind comments as well. So appreciated. Thank you for watching. Sending love and wishes for a happy holiday.
I love all your finishes and wips! You are such a warm and caring woman. It was so nice to meet you in one of the stitching lounges at the Jingle Ball. I had a great time meeting a lot of stitchers as I have never been to a retreat. I do hope to be able to attend one or two in 2024. Thank you for showing my two pieces on your show, it was such an honor ( I had my husband sit and watch as I didn't tell him you were going to be showing).
Good morning, so nice to see you. I did enjoy connecting at the Jingle Ball. I was thrilled to share your two pieces on my FlossTube. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. I hope we meet some day in person.
Oh Sarah your Eliza’s Bird is gorgeous and frame is perfect. It took my breath away when you showed your finished Ursilia’s Sampler. Phenomenal ❣️
Good morning, Nancy, so nice to see you. I love the frame for Eliza’s French Birds and had inspiration from Annie, The Proper Stitcher. Thank you for watching and all your kind words. Happy holiday Stitching.

Thank you for a wonderful time together. It's always a joy to see your stitching and finishing. It inspired me to get brave and perhaps send some finished to you someday. Christmas stitching has been such a pleasure lately! You are a blessing to the community, please share again soon.
Hello, Desiree, so good to see you. I agree about the Christmas stitching. I have really been into it this month. I would love to see and share your finishes. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Hello Sarah, as always I thoroughly enjoyed watching your floss tube. You are a joy as are the beautiful pieces that you stitch. Happy stitching 😊
Good morning, Sally, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Sending love and joy for the holiday season.
Doesn’t lacing feel like magic?!? I just did it for the first time as well and could not have been more pleased with the result or the way it made me believe in myself 😂. So many beautiful starts and wips. As always, thank you so much for sharing. Thank you for sharing my hashtag as well. It is so nice to feel your support.
Good morning, Karen, so nice to see you. I am not quite sure I am at the magic phase of lacing, but I do plan to get there. I did feel good about myself for giving it a go. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching, my friend.
You are such a joy to my day. Thanks for sharing your stitches with me.
Good morning, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching
Lovely video!!! I’m always inspired to work on my Pandemic after seeing yours 😀😀😀
Good morning, Lauren, so nice to see you. I love the way we inspire each other to stitch, don’t you. Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
Sarah, It is always a happy day when your video shows up in my feed. I loved seeing your WIPs. I love your fabric choice for Red Deer. It is coming along. You are working on so many beautiful things. Happy stitching. Best, K
Good morning, Karen, so nice to see you. I must admit I love the fabric for Red Deer Sampler. Thank you for watching. Wishing you and your family much joy for the holiday season.
I think soie surfine would be just the ticket. Don’t beat yourself up on this. You do beautiful work and we are always much harder on ourselves. Good luck and love watching you. Happy holidays. Xoxo
Good morning, Janine, so nice to see you. I so appreciate your encouragement and support regarding the one over one. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Everything that you stitch is just gorgeous. You are such an inspiration!
Good morning, Diane, so nice to see you. I so appreciate your kind words. Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
Sarah,you can do the over one! You can use Soie surfine or Tudor silk.Acorns and Threads can advise you.Both are very fine threads perfect for your needs. You are a beautiful stitcher as well as our guiding light! We love you so much.Thank you for your uplifting videos.❤
Good morning, Cynde, so lovely to see you. Your kind words are a wonderful way to start my day and I so appreciate your encouragement. Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
I agree with robynknits. You could try 100.3 or soie surfine silks. Also will need tapestry needles in size #10 &/or #12. Katie Strachan Embroidery, Has a flosstube called Special thread tutorial: Part 1. Katie talks about different silk thread weights. Hope this helps.
Good morning, Sandra, so lovely to see you. I love Katie Strachan and will certainly give that a look. Thank you for watching and all of your kind support. Happy holiday stitching.
Hi Sarah! Your finish on Ersilia just takes my breath away! So proud for you! Mary 395 is glorious as well. I am also collecting all the Blackbird Designs I can - love them so much. Thank you for your final message. Giving a kind gesture only takes a moment and has a lasting effect. Much love to you and your family this holiday season.
Hello, Marilyn, so nice to see you. I am thrilled with my finish on Ersilia and I feel Mary 395 is close behind. Thank you for watching and your kind and thoughtful comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Enjoyed watching your video. beautiful FFOs. Vince is so cute.
Good morning, Iris, so lovely to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Sarah, I absolutely love the frame that you chose for Eliza’s French Birds. I actually gasped with delight when I saw it. I am honored that you chose it!! 🤗
Good morning, Judy, always lovely to see you. I got the idea from the one Annie used. I have it sitting by my bed and know it will bring me years of pleasure. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Hi!love your scarf today, and cute earrings. I love earrings. And yup, I sang along with Stan. Lol. Oh you so made me laugh! I too wasn’t sure I wanted to put ira and ida away. We definitely love them don’t we.lol Oh that Merry Christmas is fantastic! I must look for that pattern sometime. Oh Eliza looks great and the colour is perfect. ❤. Oh you finished it! Rightly so to be so pleased, it’s so-big,great accomplishment! Yay🎉. I can’t help cos have never done 1 over 1 and have only dmc here other than odd gentle arts, weeks etc. we don’t have an lns that is easily accessible . That owl on moonlight sampler always catches my eye. So true about kindness, been thinking of Lisa lost in stitches often and pray all goes well. And definitely not everyone enjoys the holidays. See you next time!❤❤. Oh he is growing so fast! Sweetheart!
Good morning, Cindy, so nice to see you. Your comments are always uplifting and encouraging. I made my earrings, thank you for noticing. I completely agree about the owl. Stan and I were just discussing that the other day. Thank you for watching and your continuing support. Happy holiday stitching.
Love your finishes and your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!
Good morning, Karin, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and all of your support. Happy stitching.
I love your dangling threads as it is a great way to know where to start back! I just started doing myself😊
Hello, Dear Rebecca, so good to see you. I appreciate your support for my dangling threads. They really do help me. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Sarah, you are just a lovely person! Thank you!
Good morning, so nice to see you. Thank you so much for watching and your kind words. Happy holiday stitching.
Thank you for sharing all your lovely stitching progress and graciously promoting kindness, acceptance, and peace. Happy, happy stitching, Sarah.
Good morning, Karen, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Happy holiday stitching.
I'm late watching your flosstube as usual. Your inspiration makes me want to stitch more. Unfortunately I haven't been able to stitch in a while and I'm going crazy. Vince is so adorable 🥰
Good morning, Diane, so nice to see you. I hope you will be able to get back to stitching soon and that everything is okay. Thank you for watching and your kind comment.
Very pretty finishes.
Great progress on your WIPS.
Like someone said, Some Surfine is good for over 1 stitching with a small hoop & beading needle.
Vince is too cute!
Marilyn
Good morning, Marilyn, lovely to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Happy holiday stitching.
Beautiful finish on Eliza’s French Birds, Sarah! I’m finally catching up on my Flosstube watching and had such a nice time visiting with you and seeing your stitching!
Hello, Katie, married lady! Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching. Sending you and Alex much joy for your first Christmas together as a married couple.
Love all your new starts! Yes, kindness matters! 💕🪡🧵
Good morning, Helga, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Splendid! In every way. Thanks so much, Sarah, for the video, and for all of the good cheer!
Good morning, Emily, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind support. Happy holiday stitching.
I absolutely cannot have a bad day when I watch your videos! Your kind heart shows through every thought. I am one of those, due to my husbands passing, who is having a hard time during this holiday season. Thank you for being sensitive and aware.
May I mention you are bad for my budget 😅 I am now on the hunt for more charts and linens. ❤❤❤
Good morning, Peg, so nice to see you. I can understand that the holidays can be a rough time for you. I am sorry for your loss. I hope you have a network of family and friends to stand by you. Thank you for watching and I am thrilled to enable you a bit. Take care and I will keep you in my heart.
Thank you Sarah for another beautiful flosstube.❤️ You have been a finishing machine! They are gorgeous. I just finished a massive full coverage piece and now I am going to adopt Karen’s (Recovering Monogamous Stitcher) philosophy about making your oldest WIP a focus piece. So mine will be Pandemic. I will send you a picture when it’s done! 😀
Good morning, Brenda, so nice to see you. Congratulations on your finish of a full coverage piece. Such an accomplishment. I will love seeing your finished Pandemic! Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
@@SarahsStitchySpot thank you stitchy friend!
Wow, so many beautiful finishes! You’re on fire 🔥
Good morning, Carmen, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. I look forward to our cross stitch journey in 2024.
You never fail to amaze me with your stitching and caring attitude. What a pleasure it is to watch your videos!
Good morning, Pam, so nice to see you. Your kind words are a lovely way to start my day. Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
Sarah, your work is so lovely 🥰 the sampler you finished came out beautiful!
Hello, Mary, so good to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Your framed finish of Eliza's French Birds is absolutely stunning. Thank you so much for your kindness and inspiration and for sharing your beautiful projects and stitching.
Good morning, Lorraine, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. I have Eliza sitting by my bed and enjoying every minute of it. Happy holiday stitching.
I use a silk Guttermann thread that I get from Joann's. It's normally where all the other thread is and if you get it on sale it's a much cheaper option than 100.3 or surfine.
Good morning, Judy, so nice to see you. I appreciate that brilliant suggestion, as I do have a local JoAnn’s. Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
Great video as always! I love your enthusiasm for stitching and really enjoy you sharing other’s finishes! Eliza’s Bluebirds is beautiful and the frame is perfect! You are so close to several more finishes! It will be fun to see how many are finished this year!
Happy holidays, Dee. I think I had around 15-16 finishes this year. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
You are so right Sarah! We are so lucky to have this habit & this community. Thank you for sharing your joyful gifts.
Good morning, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Hi Sarah - I think Soie surfine is the thinnest silk thread - it is recommended for 46 and 56 count - I believe that Nicola has recommended that. Try it out. Good luck.
Hello, Nicole, so nice to see you. I do have a sample of Soie surfine to try. Thank you for watching and all of your support. Happy holiday stitching.
I just stumbled across your podcast. I am amazed by all the pieces that you are working on at one time! Mostly, I have to say that I appreciate your words of encouragement. Our world needs compassion, love, and encouragement. Thanks for making that a part of your podcast.
Hello, and welcome to my FlossTube channel. I look forward to sharing our stitching journey together. Thank your for watching and your kind comment.
Beautiful stitching!! Loved your video.
Hello, Angela, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Wow, your finishes are gorgeous! New starts have great beginning stitches already. Your Red Deer Sampler is stunning on that fabric. I'm glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving visit from your family. Take care, happy stitching. ❤
Good morning, Judy,so nice to see you. I do love my Red Deer Sampler on that crazy fabric. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Happy holiday stitching.
I think you did a great job framing. It was very pretty in the silver blue frame.
Good morning, Kathryn, so nice to see you. I do love that frame. Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
I’d rather have an imperfect finished object than not have one. Amen 🙏🏻 😊 Looks great!!
Good morning, Debra, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Happy holiday stitching.
@@SarahsStitchySpot- I’m not Debra, I see you meant this message for someone else, so you might want to try again 😊
I meant the reply for you, but I got confused about the name. Getting old is a bummer. 😂
@@SarahsStitchySpot Lol… that’s okay. :-)
I’m definitely inspired thanks for sharing I am a bliss of cross stitch
Good morning, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Happy holiday stitching.
Another video chock full of inspiration! Congrats on your finish on the beautiful Ersilla and you are so close on Pandemic! It's all Christmas stitching for me but will get back to the dapper Reverend after the holidays. ❤Roberta
Good morning, Roberta, so nice to see you. I have been quite exclusive to holiday stitching myself. Thank you for watching and all of your support. Happy holiday stitching.
Jean Lea always recommends soie surfine for over one stitching! Makes it very distinct and defined.
Good morning, so nice to see you. I appreciate your advice. Jean talked about one over one on her most recent FlossTube with Carolyn. Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
Oh isn’t Ersilia fabulous! Congrats on such a wonderful finish Sarah. I’m curious about a couple of things my friend. Firstly, would you show us some of your beaded snowflakes from your tree, I’d love to see them. And secondly, let’s say that on a recording day you and Stan had “ words”, you know like somebody didn’t empty the dishwasher or put out the trash or some other irk of marital cohabitation, would you have to thank him for your song through gritted teeth? 😉. Of course, I’m just kidding because you and Stan have it together and wouldn’t let petty annoyances interrupt your gratitude, but I’m just asking for a friend 🤣
Hello, sweet Sarah, so nice to see you. I am quite thrilled with the finish on Ersilia. I will show the beaded snowflakes for sure. It will be after Christmas as I just recorded FlossTube #38 at the home where we are pet sitting. I will say this, there can be gritted teeth on occasion, although luckily not too often. So you may Teel your friend, I gritted a few teeth in my life. Take care, my friend. Give Charlotte a big holiday hug from me. She can certainly brighten my day as you do as well.
🤣🤣🤣😘
Hi! Great to join you again! About the over one...go thinner. Since you are stitching on 36 count for that piece, I would to 100/3 AVAS. If you at stitching on 40 count or higher, for the over one then AVAS Surfine. I think its all called Noir, or "black" to us. 😊 Hang in there you can do it! Thanks for another great video
Good morning, Beth, so nice to see you. I so appreciate your advice for the one over one stitching. Thank you for watching and all your encouragement. Happy holiday stitching.
Hi Sarah
Love the Beautiful Finish. This is so so pretty.
Love all of your WIPS. They are just gorgeous.
I am doing 1 x 1 Full Cross on 25 Count and I am using DMC Threads. I like the Coverage. I don’t have any problems with this at all. I even did 310 Black - 1 x 1 - did not have any problems. If I was you Sarah I would just use DMC Threads and do 1 x 1 Full Cross.
Take Care & Happy Stitching
❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵🙏☕️🎄❤️
Good morning, Linda, so nice to see you. I appreciate the suggestions for my one over one stitching. One of my goals for nest year is to try some one over one on 25 count. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Another great Flosstube! I don't know if you are familiar with Jingle Ball - an online cross stitch event. This year they have 10+ designers that have a shop, classes, meet & greet, etc over a weekend. It's a great opportunity to connect with like-minded stitchers. Stephanie from Lindy Stitches is one of the coordinators. It's a lot of fun. I apologize for pointing it out too late as it is this weekend but it would be something for you for next year. You do have to purchase a ticket and it is worth it.
Good morning, Amy, so nice to see you. I appreciate the information regarding the Jingle Ball. I did purchase a ticket, but still need to get better about navigating. I will definitely do it again next year. Thank you for watching.
Lovely flosstube, Sarah. Beautiful finishes. Wish you a happy december.❤
Hello, dear, Geertje, so good to see you. Wishing you all the joy of the holidays. Thank you for watching and all of your support.
I love you and your stitching. My heart is always lighter after spending time with you. ❤
Hello, such a lovely thing to say and it warms my heart. Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
Hi Sarah, You should hear all the oohs and aahs over here as you showed your finishes and fully finished treasures. They truly are remarkable! And little Vince at the end - so precious. Have a nice week. Happy stitching.. love to you too. ❤🧵🪡
Hello, Connie, so nice to see you. I appreciate your kind words for my finishes. Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
Sarah, I miss our group very much and love your Flosstubes. They are full of content and beautiful stitching. You keep up the good work and spreading smiles and kindness in everything you do!🥰
Good morning, dear Desi, so nice to see you. I wish we could all live closer together and have lots of in person stitchy time. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Sending much love. Happy holiday stitching.
Soie surfine is a silk that is finer than 100/3 and it works well for full crosses on one over one. Jean uses it on 56 count. Jean can help you! Beautiful work,!
Good morning, so nice to see you. Jean is the expert for sure and her latest FlossTube with Carolyn discusses one over one stitching. Thank you for watching,
“Glorious Habit”!!! I love that!❤❤
Hello, Lou Ann, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment.
I also was going to suggest Soie Surfine in Noir. Blessings to you and those you hold dear
Good morning, Julie, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kindly suggestion. Happy holiday stitching.
Congrats on your FFOs (and all your beautiful stitching). I started lacing and framing my smaller pieces and now I frame everything, even my large pieces, so you can do it too! It's not hard to do large pieces, it just takes a little longer. Kudos to you for doing the over one on 36 count. I only tackle over one on 28 count. I usually stitch in hand but I use a hoop for over one. Happy stitching!
Good morning, Judy, so nice to see you. I do hope to get better at framing. I know it will take time, patience and practice. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Wow that scarf is glorious and the colours suit you so well. Thank you for spending time with us all and encouraging us in our stitching and our presence in world. Time for us all to step up. ❤️ to you and yours 🇦🇺
Good morning, Judy, so nice to see you. The scarf was a gift from a very close friend. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Thank you for the reminder to all that the holidays for some are a difficult time and to check on those who may be struggling ❤ I am one of those people this year. What a kind heart you have! Thank you for being you!
Good morning, Nancy, so nice to see you. I am sorry to hear that you are having a difficult time this year. I hope you have a network of friends and/or family to lean on if you need to. I will keep you in my heart and hope that your stitching can also bring some comfort. Thank you for watching and your kind words.
You could use Au Ver A Soie 100.3 for your one over one. I also use Soie Surfine on higher count fabric. Using a smaller needle is key also.
Good morning, Suki, lovely to see you. I appreciate your suggestion. I agree about the needle. Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
Thank you for taking the time to make your Flosstube. I enjoy hearing you talk about your projects and seeing all the progress. You did a great job fully finishing Eliza's birds ❤
Good morning, Lisa, so nice to see you. Thank you so much for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Thanks for another encouraging Flosstube Sarah! I love your pandemic piece, I’ve seen it in many colours but I don’t think in black before. I think it’s my favourite.🖤 We are so blessed to have this hobby and community, thank you for mentioning that!
Hello, Darlene, so nice to see you. I will be sad when I finish Pandemic, although still have many stitching days with it going forward. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
What a joy to see the notification that you had uploaded a new video! So many beautiful pieces! Love you!
Hello, Marian, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Love ya right back!!
Thank you. Best to you as well.
Good morning, Gisela, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
What a lovely family you have Sarah. The Merry Christmas pillow looks great, and the new start Merry Little Christmas will compliment it. The Ersilias Sampler is (to coin a phrase) exquisite, well done, looking forward to seeing it as FFO.
For the Ann Campion I would try 100.3, you will find something suitable to you, and that's what it's all about. The MFE red berries is beautiful, this is one I would like to do maybe next year. I hope you will let Dancer share your Christmas, he is adorable. Happy stitching
Good morning, Linda, so nice to see you. I appreciate your suggestions for Ann Campion and now have some 100.3 to try. I love have Dancer’s company at Christmas. Thank you for watching and all of your kind words. Happy holiday stitching.
I agree with robynknits about the 100.3 or soie surfine. Reach out to the Attic and they will let you know which one works best on 36 count. I love your you tube!
Good morning, Ann, so nice to see you. The Attic would be a tremendous resource. Thank your for watching and your kind comment.
I know how you feel about too thick with the 1/1! I use Soie 100/3. That’s thin enough for me, but I MAY buy Soie Surfine for my 56 count project 1/1. Beautiful starts, finishes, and stitching!!! I’m very inspired! Love you! XOXO Heidi
Good morning, Heidi, my ray of sunshine. Thank you so much for watching and your tips for 100/3. Love ya right back!
Love your finishes!
You are so cheerful to watch! You brighten my day.
I have not yet tried one over one so will look for others recommendations for future
Good morning, Joann, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
For the over one stitches I think it depends on what you like and your stitch count. But if you’re not happy with the way that it’s laying, I would recommend the single cross (tent stitch), it works just great for me and also the soie surfine floss is super thin silk thread. I was so scared of stitching one over one and my first few attempts were awful but I kept at it and now I’m ok with how it’s looking for me on 36 count with the soie 100.3 and the tent stitch. I would just keep plugging away at it and you should get that successful feeling once you get more comfortable with it.
Good morning, so nice to see you. I appreciate you taking the time to give me information and encouragement regarding one over one stitching. I certainly agree that practice will make it better. I do have some 100/3 and Soie surfine to try. I am looking forward to improving my skills. Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
Hi Sara, I would use black 12weight sulky thread for the Campion sampler. It’s just a teeny bit heavier than DMC, and it gives great coverage in a single strand. I think you will be happy with the coverage. Great finishes and WIPS. I’m envious you finished Ersilia. I’m about 2/3 done. It is a stunning sampler. All the best to you and just to let you know I have your hubby and grandson in my prayers. So, just keep looking up and be strong!!! God bless you and your family.
Good morning, Gisela, so nice to see you. I appreciate your great suggestion. I do hope you will share your finished Ersilia with me. Such a beautiful sampler and I already miss stitching on her. Thank you for watching and your prayers for my family. Happy holiday stitching.
Hi Sara, I’m glad I could help. Ersilia is done!!! I only have to go over it carefully to ensure I did not miss anything. Then, it’s off to the framers. Hopefully, I’ll get it there before Christmas, otherwise it will be January. As soon as I get it back, I’ll be sure to send you a picture. Have a blessed holiday season and be well. Hugs…
@@gisela4582 I can’t wait to see your fully finished Ersilia. Take care.
Your kindness and empathy for others just shines through in every one of your videos. And I forgot to mention that your lovely scarf matches your Merry Christmas finish!
Good morning, Judy, lovely to see you. Your sweet words are a wonderful way to start my day. Thank you.
Thank you, Sarah, for another sweet episode. Congratulations on finishing that gigantic red sampler!!!
Good morning, Colleen, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
I too will have two little elves coma and help putting up the Christmas tree decorations....I just LOVE that....there is nothing better
Hello, Hanna, so good to see you. Helpful elves are the best! Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
Beautiful stitching Sarah ♥ I believe the lovely Jean Lea would suggest using Soie Surfine for your over one stitching. I’ve heard Brenda recommend using it as well and doing the tent stitch instead of full crosses. Wishing you and Stan a very Merry Christmas! 🎄
Good morning, Linda, so nice to see you. I do have some Soie Surfine to try. If Jean says it, we know it is right. Thank you for watching. Sending joy and love for the holiday season.
Could you use either 100.3 or soie surfine for your 1 over 1. Both Au ver a soie like Soie d'alger
Good morning, Robyn, so nice to see you. I appreciate your suggestion and will give that a try. Thank you for watching.
I've not noticed ads here Sarah. On new floss tubes I've watched, I noticed every 5 minutes like clockwork, there'd be an ad.
On dinner, yum, yum and yum❤❤❤
No ads today. Loved your finishes. How do you fill a pillow using the poly fil and the lizard litter? Do you alternate it like rows? Thanks, Deidre
Good morning, Deidre, so nice to see you. When I mix the fillers for pillows I use the polyfill in corners and around the sides, then I pour in the lizard litter, and top off with more polyfill before I stitch up the opening. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.
Good morning, Rebecca, so nice to see you. I appreciate the heads up on the ads. Thank you for watching and all of your kind support. Happy holiday stitching.
Beautiful pieces. Vince is really growing and getting so cute. ❤
Hello, Sherry, so nice to see you. Vince is growing so fast, the time goes by so quickly. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Sarah, you need to use Soie Surfine for the 1over1. It is the thinest silk. Also, I have found thr most wonderful thing that has made thr 1 over 1 much easier. It is a small light and magnifier that you can attach to your scroll or Q-Snap. I bought it at Keepsakes. It has made the 😂world of difference and is much better than the magnifier on my floor lamp which was hard to position.
Good morning, Deborah, so nice to see you. I do have some Soie Surfine to try. I use strong readers for fine work. I don’t know if that light/magnifier would work for me as I stitch in hand. I so appreciate your tips. Thank you for watching and all of your support. Happy holiday stitching.
Sarah, I just love your enthusiasm and your beautiful projects. You do give me ideas and that is a little dangerous!! On the sampler you have some over one to do, I have heard that Tudor silk is a thinner silk and can be used on higher count linen. Also, have you tried sulky thread which is a sewing thread and has a wide variety of colors. I wasn't sure if you wanted to stay with silk on the entire sampler. I believe the letter you showed that was tent stitch showed up very well. Stay strong and keep on!!!
Good morning, Vickie, so nice to see you. I appreciate your suggestions regarding floss for the one over one. Now I just need to dig deep and get it done. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
I still can't take 1 strand off the skein like Laura does, I'm challenged! Very nice for her to cook for everyone, looked delish!! Maybe try Soie Surfine, Au Ver A Soie
Vince and his cuteness and his YAY at the end!
Good morning, Dee, so nice to see you. I appreciate your suggestions for silks to try. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy holiday stitching.

Thank you for watching, dear Janet.
I've heard that Tudor Silk is a good option for one over one. I plan on trying that with my next project!
Good morning, April, so nice to see you. I appreciate your suggestion. Thank you for watching. Happy holiday stitching.
I can’t wait until Ann Campion is released! I have heard of people using Soie 100.3 for the 1 over 1 stitching. I think that is what I will try.
Hello, Teresa, so good to see you. I think 100.3 sounds good. It is such a lovely stitch. Thank you for watching.
