- Stitching one over one on linen can be tricky. In this video, I show my technique that eliminates the problem of the floss slipping under the warp and weft of the linen weave. If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to ask in the comments below. Mahalo for watching!
I would not manage your temporary situation very well Jan. You are doing great and it will get better soon! Hang in there. Thank you for the tutorial. You are a very good teacher!
Thanks so much, Judy! I really enjoy teaching, so that is good to hear!
You just taught me a better way to do one over one. Thank you.
It’s sad about Yvonne. We’ll give her lots of Stitchy support and love.
Yaay! You are very welcome! Thanks so much, Michelle.
Thank you for the tutorial! I had not heard about Yvonne’s husband. So very sad and I will be praying for her and the family. I hope that you can get settled in your new place soon and be able to be comfortable and settle in without being in limbo anymore. Ugh I can’t even imagine.
Thanks Becky. Some days are worse than others. Yesterday was particularly bad because it rained all day and I couldn’t even go out into the courtyard and sit. But this too shall pass!
Thanks so much for this video. I have not enjoyed over 1 because I could not figure out how to do the sewing method for it. Now I can’t wait to start an over 1 project!!! Good luck with your move!!
Good luck with your over 1 project! Let me know if you have any questions and how it goes for you!
Thank you for the instructions on one over one. I tried one over one before seeing your video and gave up because of the floss slipping under the threads. Hurray, now I can try again. See you next week. All will be well, just a few more days.
Excellent, Patricia! I’m glad to hear that! Let me know if you have any questions!
thank you Jan, I had started a one over one on 25 count ,having done weaving some years ago your method gave me an duh moment. I think i'll put the project back out in rotation now. happy new year. love the projects you show.
Excellent! I’m so glad I was able to help! Thanks and Happy New Year!
My heart just hurts for Yvonne that is just like you said beyond words and the circumstances Wow so so sad. I enjoyed watching you do the cute stitch. Take care .
Thanks MaryJo. Thanks for being here. Hugs!
Thanks for the tutorial! Very helpful information. I was just getting ready to do a piece 1 over 1. Good timing😀
Ha! Awesome! Am I good, or am I good?? Lol. Glad I could help, Theresa! Let me know if you have any questions!
Great stitching with you. I heard about Yvonne’s husband and can’t begin to imagine what she is going through. She is such a sweet person💕
She really is such a totally genuine, sweet person. My heart breaks for her every time I think of her. And reminds me that we don’t every know how much time we have here with our loved ones.
Aloha! Enjoyed your stitch with me. Praying that you can get into your apt soon and that your items arrive sooner than expected. I was so heartbroken to hear about Yvonne’s husband. She’s definitely in my prayers. We lost my husbands brother unexpectedly 11 months ago. It’s been so hard on everyone, especially my sister in love. We’re close friends. It’s so unimaginably hard and I pray Yvonne has close family and friends for support. I think she does.
Thanks Teal. Yes, I am sure Yvonne is surrounded by family, and is being surrounded and lifted up by this wonderful community, but there is really nothing that can take the pain away. I am sorry to hear that your family has also suffered such a loss. Hugs, sweet friend.
Thanks Jan for a great tutorial. I will have to give 1 over 1 a try. And I am so sad to hear the news of Yvonne I had no idea. :(
Thanks Victoria. Glad you found it useful.
I can’t imagine what Yvonne is going through and I don’t want to. My heart breaks every time I think of her.
I love my knit companion both for knitting and cross stitching.
I couldn’t knit without it, that’s for sure!
Can’t wait for the tutorial Jan! I stitch in hand and use the sewing method. Sometimes working over two I have stitches slide underneath the threads... Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Lori! Hope you found this useful!
This was very helpful...thanks Jan!
Thank you for your tutorial. Also for the heads up about Yvonne. We are praying.
You are very welcome. Glad you found it helpful!
Ugh, Sasha sounds like my cat. I had to play a long game of capture the cat yesterday to get her in the carrier for the groomer. She was having none of it!
I heard about Yvonne's husband and my heart goes out to her. I hope she and her family will find comfort in each other. I send my thoughts to her.
I just recently tried stitching 1 over 2 on evenweave. Next I will try 1 over 1. 28 count is the largest I can manage. Am on the search for a good clip on magnifier to attach to my floor lamp for larger counts. Am anxious for the tutorial on Monday. Merry Christmas!
Go Debbie! You can do it! I love the look of it. I hope you enjoy it, but do let me know if you have any questions!
Lovely spending this time with you, Jan ❤️ The way you pronounced my last name is how most people pronounce it the first time....and it's wrong lol. Good try though! I was very devastated to hear the news of Yvonne's husband. So tragic...I just can't imagine something like that 😞
Thanks Kyle! So, are you going to tell me the correct way to pronounce it, or do I need to try a different way in each video until I get it right?? 😂
Jan Hicks maybe give it one more go 😂😂
Thank you for the information re: Yvonne. Not being on Facebook, I was not aware, but will keep her in my thoughts.
Thank you!
Thank you ⭐️
Thank you, Jan. I hadn’t heard about Yvonne’s husband. How awful for her and their family. Xx
It’s just devastating. I keep thinking of her, wondering how she’s managing.
Hi Jan, I'm so jealous of you living in Oahu, even though it's been a bit of and ordeal. Could you please let me know if you always stitch your variegated threads in diagonal rows? What do you think is the advantage? Thank you for sharing your techniques and time with us. Looking forward to your next Flosstube episode 💕
Hi Tara!
I don’t like to have striped lines when I’m working with variegated floss, so I usually go on the diagonal, or even work in circles, or a smaller section at a time working in a circle, if that makes sense. It helps to break up the striping effect.
Welcome spring is a beautiful pattern mine is still in my stash
It doesn’t take long to stitch at all and is such a sweet piece!
Re Yvonne. As you say I was just speechless when I heard. She is such a positive outward looking person It is just so sad. I have sent a message
Re your room. Are you able to put out a ‘do not disturb’ sign and just skip the cleaning for a day as you can in a motel
Thank you for your informative video. Hang in there. At least you are stitcher and knitter. Can you imagine what it would be like if you didn’t have anything to work on. ....
No, I can’t imagine what it would be like if I didn’t have these things to keep me busy, especially since the TV here doesn’t have many channels. But yeah, we only have the cleaners come in every other day or so, so that helps. Not too much longer and we’ll at least be camping in this apartment here on this end. Lol.
I don't know if there's a different special name for it, but it's basically the continental stitch from needlepoint and then doing a reverse continental going back the other way.
Okay, that’s good to know. I was thinking it was either that or the tent stitch, but I haven’t taken the time to look into it. Thanks Sarah!
Hello love your videos! Do you have a video explaining basic sewing method on 14 count Aida? I just can’t get the hang of it. A lot of videos I’ve watched -it’s too hard to see?
So, I don’t have any specifically on aida, but I have two on other fabrics. Hopefully these will still be helpful, because the movements are the same regardless of what fabric you are using and I think you are able to see everything pretty clearly. The first one is here: th-cam.com/video/xHwY3Wgd7ws/w-d-xo.html and the second one it here: th-cam.com/video/JQUniDvhkFg/w-d-xo.html
Let me know how these work for you and if you have any questions.
@@JanHicksCreates thank you so much. I will check them out
Thanks Jan .do you use hoop
Hi Varsha, I don’t usually use a hoop, no. Sometimes I use a frame, and there are times I use a QSnap, but I usually stitch in hand with no frame of any sort.
So very sad to hear about Yvonne’s husband. Keeping her and her family in my thoughts. And poor Sasha - I know how disturbing it must be for you to hear him howl like that - I’ve been through that with my fur babies as well. Wondering if you can ask to have them “skip” cleaning your room every single day, and maybe they can just come every 2nd or 3rd day? Then, it will only be a couple more times to go through that before you move into the apartment, instead of 7 more times. Might be helpful. I also ordered my mattresses from Amazon and have LOVED them. Hoping you get a sense of calm and place soon.
Yes, we only have the cleaning people come in every other day or so. Yesterday was one of my “skip” days, and I had planned to spend it sitting out in the courtyard here stitching. Unfortunately, it rained all day. Sigh...I was pretty grumpy by the time Mike got home. Lol. But today we spent the morning roaming around different stores in Honolulu, so I feel better. Lol.
@@JanHicksCreates Well if it isn't one thing it's another! I'm glad roaming around different shops made you feel better! Hang in there!
When I stitch 1 over 1 I finish each stitch as I go. I start first leg in bottom left to top right. I check the fabric. thread I'm going over, is it a vertical or horizontal thread. If horizontal, I come up top left and down to bottom right so my thread on the back lies horizontally. If the fabric thread is vertical, I make sure my thread on the back goes vertically when I create and cross my stitch. I never lose a thread when I stitch this way. Really sorry about Yvonne and our prayers are with her and the family.
Yes, I have done that some times, too, but I find that my stitches don’t look very even when I do it that way. But if I have just a few to do to get over to another section, that’s what I’ll do.
Another question. When you backstitch over one on linen or evenweave do you follow the same technique that you showed?
Yes, I do for the most part, but I very rarely backstitch over just one thread. I usually make my backstitches linger because I don’t like them to look so choppy, if that makes sense.
You will feel better once you are finally settled in your apartment. You have been in limbo long enough.
Amen to that! Thanks Annette!
