- Hi Flosstube!! My name is McKenzie and I am a 27 year old stitcher from Ontario, Canada. I have wanted to make a flosstube channel for a while now... so I figured why not today?! I hope you enjoy hearing a bit about how I got (back) into stitching and seeing my current WIPs. If you have any questions about anything I'd be happy to answer them for you! Thank you so much for clicking on my video and I hope you enjoy! :)

Welcome to flosstube! So many great projects and yes Teresa has enabled us all haha. Thanks for sharing!
What a great first video! Greatings from The Netherlands. Please keep sharing!
Great first video. Teresa enabled me as well. I stitch mostly full-coverage pieces.
Welcome. Happy to come across your video.
Great first video. I look forward to future ones!
Great first floss tube! I am an avid knitter and i recently got back into cross stitching after I came across Teresa’s floss tubes. She definitely enabled me. Purchased two full coverage pieces that I kitted up and I’m about to start. I just finished an Indian peacock, A French bulldog piece and almost done with my third piece, which is a Christmas one and then I will start my first full coverage. I very much enjoyed the floss tube. Looking forward to seeing more. Your work is beautiful, great choices, and patterns.
Great first video. Teresa is amazing. I love watching her. Happy stitching!😊
Thank you so much! She really is! Happy stitching to you as well :)
Teresa got me back into stitching as well, she's very good at enabling 🤣 Love the way you present, you very natural. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much! That is so kind of you! ...Haha, she really is! I think at least 3 of my projects she enabled me to do! ;)
What a wonderful video 👍🏻 I can’t wait for more.
Thank you so much! :D
Welcome, love seeing young stitchers. Teresa is one of my favorites as well. I am looking forward to seeing your next post.
Thank you so much! Yes, she really is great. Always look forward to her next video!
Just found you! Loved your stitching!
Great first Flosstube. Your stitching is beautiful.
Thank you very much! :D
Great video! Welcome to the community! Can't wait to see more!
Thank you so much! :D
Great first video and you have some beautiful projects going. To fix column lines - flip your work over - you will be able to see the bare areas that form the line on the back of your work. Take a similar color thread and weave under the stitches back and forth over the bare area all the way down where you see it. That will make them no longer noticeable. Happy Stitching! Laura
Thank you so much! Omg that is such a great idea! I never thought of that... I will definitely have to give it a try! Maybe once it's all done so I can weave all the way down each line in one go... Thank you for the suggestion! :D
I enjoyed watching your first video. Please keep sharing.
Thank you! I absolutely will! I'm loving it so far :D
I too was enabled by Teresa loved her series! You did a great job love your projects!
Thank you very much! I think Teresa is the best enabler out there ;) haha. I have at least 3 projects that I started because of her - she is truly a beautiful stitcher!
Great first video. I’m looking forward to the next.
Thank you so much! :)
Fabulous! 👏
Thank you!! :)
Hello I loved your first flosstube. I also like to stitch large projects. I also kitted up storykeep tiki hut. I made a very minimal start on it. I’ll be looking forward to your next video. God bless you
Thanks so much! Yes, I think Tiki Beach Sunset is a beautiful pattern! So many bright colours!
Teresa little stitcher is also the one who got me back into cross stitch! I learned when I was young but had only seen the kits at the craft store and hated them. Then I came across her channel and saw her full coverage pieces and I was like , that is what I want! I’m obsessed with her channel 😂
Yesss! Me too! I never LOVED anything that I saw in store - probably why I put it down for so long after originally learning... but after discovering her channel and so may other Flosstuber's channels, it was like a whole new world opened up, haha!
Good on you for starting your flosstube! I found your pattern choices very refreshing. The google doc was interesting. Thx for the tip re the Pattern Maker App, unfortunately it is only for android devices and I have an ipad, but a good idea to share. I am looking to your future episodes.
Thank you so much for your comment! I will continue to update the google doc as I start new projects and finish current ones :) Yes... I know PK is trying to make an iOS version that will be compatible with apple devices but I know many people use Markup r-XP or Goodnotes for ipad. I am actually using Goodnotes for Magwayen as I initially couldn't upload the PDF into PK - however they do have that feature now :)
Great job
Thanks so much! :)
Your enthusiasm and passion show as you speak! Your stitching is amazing! If not now then when! Start the Bella Philopina! Stunning!
This is such a lovely comment! Thank you so so much! I agree - why put something off for tomorrow when you can do it today! ;)
Bravo on your first floss tube. I enjoyed listening to you and your stitching. See you on your next!
Thank you so so much! :D
Welcome to Flosstube! Love another full coverage stitcher! You'll find your groove, so don't worry about messing up or anything! Look forward to seeing more!
Thank you so much for the warm welcome! I definitely think I'll find my own groove once I post a few more videos! I've watched some of your videos too (on my personal YT account) and I absolutely love your pieces! Thank you again for leaving such a lovely comment! :)
Welcome!!! A truly lovely video!! Loved all of your wips. I, too love Teresa LS. I love doing full coverage and have, in the works, the same blackwork wip. SaLs are hard for me too- life gets in the way. I must have 4 started from 2020. I look forward to your next one.
Thank you so much!! :D You are so sweet! Teresa is definitely my biggest enabler - I love all of her projects and watching her videos! Ooh! How far along are you on your PP SAL? This was my first blackwork piece and I'm still learning as I go. SALs really are a challenge
to keep up with when life gets so busy - but I love them too much, haha! Will probably want to pick up another one soon...
❤❤❤
Great flosstube start. Will be starting my own soon. It's not easy to organize. Looking forward to seeing more of you. Love your projects.
Thank you so much! You definitely should! I will subscribe to you and keep my eye out for your first video! I can't wait to watch! :D
You have lovely projects, thank you for showing us!
Thank you! and thank you so much for taking the time to click and watch! It means so much to me! :)
Enjoyed your first video. You did a great job.
Thank you so much! :)
Welcome to flosstube. Beautiful projects.
Thank you so much! :)
Welcome to Flosstube. I loved seeing your projects. I look forward to seeing more of you in the future.
Thank you so much! You are too kind! I am so looking forward to posting another video! :D
🥂🍾 Congratulations on making your first Flosstube! Happy Stitching 🧵😝
Thank you! I really appreciate it! So happy to be apart of the community! :D Happy stitching to you too!
Such a great a great first floss tube. You’re a natural.
Thank you so much!! That is so kind of you! :)
Welcome to Flosstube! Lovely stitches.
Thank you so much ! :)
Welcome! Beautiful projects! Please don’t listen to anyone critiquing you on sounds. Be you and don’t let it make you self-conscious. People can be ridiculous.
Thank you so much ! Yes - I will absolutely always be me! I know that there will always be someone who doesn't like something - but I definitely won't let it get me down! :D
Great first flosstube! You were amazing! We’re all friends here!
Thank you!! That is so sweet of you :D
Welcome to Flosstube! Your WIPs look great!
Thank you so much! That is so kind of you! :D
Welcome to flosstube! I love connecting with other flosstubers, especially other new ones 😅 I'm kind of in shock of how many similarities our journeys share! I also started during lockdown, but I didn't learn from family or inherit anything. I also used Teresa little stitcher to learn about full coverage and *almost* stitched the same HAED freebie you did 😅
Your patterns are beautiful and you did a great job on your first video. I'm excited for you next one 😊
Thank you! Wow! Our journeys do sound very similar! I just checked out your flosstube and I believe a welcome to you is in order as well! So welcome to flosstube, haha! I will definitely have to check out your videos! I'd love to see what you've ended up stitching. Thank you again for your comment! I'm excited to follow along with your stitching journey as well! :D
Beautiful work. The frames look amazing for working on. Be careful of the teeth sucking, many flosstube people do it and it is killer when using earbuds. Looking forward to seeing more of you pop into my feed. I love Pattern Keeper, wish it would show the backstitch on my device.
Thank you so much! And thanks for the tip... I've noticed I do that! I will do my best not to, however it's a bit subconscious unfortunately - I noticed it while editing, haha. Yes, pattern keeper is amazing - don't know how I would ever do full coverage without it. And I agree, it would be great if it also showed backstitch, as I will have to use Goodnotes and the highlighter feature for Magwayen. I use Goodnotes for her anyways, but in the future a backstitch option would be fabulous on PK!
Really lovely first video! You really are a natural 😊 I’m a new starter too, and know how much there is to learn doing it the first time! Lovely projects … I’d love to hear more about your channel name … it’s very cute! 👏🏼💖
Thank you so much! You are too kind! There is so much to learn! Especially when it comes to using new threads and higher count fabric (stitching over 2) and beading... I could go on, haha! And I will explain why I chose my channel name in my next video! Thank you again so much for your lovely comment! :)
@@thenightowlstitcher oh yes! but I also mean so much to learn doing a first video for flosstube! Showing things to the camera and getting the angles & glare right I found really hard lol. I’ve only done one video as yet, but I’m looking forward to doing more. Looking forward to more of yours too! 👏🏼☺️
Great first flosstube! I have the same story keep pattern by Aimee Stewart but haven’t started it yet, you make me want to kit it up and start! Lol Loved all your projects!
Thank you so much! You should definitely kit it up!! It is such a fun project to work on! There are so many gorgeous colours in that chart! :)
@@thenightowlstitcher I’m very tempted to, I just might do that. Lol. I have a ton of WIPS already but I might cave! 😂
Good Job! You were great
Thank you!! You are very kind :)
Love the video!! I’m not 100% sure but based off what i’ve seen from the other full coverage stitchers i watch, those grid lines you have in your freebie can be washed away when you’re all done with your piece, as long as you don’t use any over dyed or fancy flosses!
Omg! That would be great! I really hope that's the case because I've been a bit unmotivated to work on it recently because of those lines... It was stitched with DMC on 25 count, 2 over 1 so fingers crossed they wash out! I didn't know if it was because of my method, tension, or the type of frame I used (not holding the fabric taught enough), however changing my method to diagonal stitching (while snaking each line) on my Tiki Beach Sunset project seems to have solved the problem! I plan on doing a stitch-with-me to show my method of this! Thank you so much for your comment! You've just given me some motivation to pull it out again! :D
You are making great progress on your very large and ambitious projects! Bravo on your first video!
Congrats on making your first flosstube video! I've been debating making videos again. I've been a bit embarrassed about how long it has been since I last uploaded! Does that make any sense? LOL
Just try to remember that you can't please everyone. People will complain about everything! Just say up front: sorry for the zippers, but I need to keep things tidy; filming is chaotic enough. Done!
Thank you so much for your comment! You are so right! And I think you should absolutely upload again! Like you said, be upfront - say: "Sorry it's been so long, life got in the way!" We would all understand and support your channel! I've already subscribed ;) I would love to see your projects! No matter how long it was since your last video! You should definitely go for it - I can't wait to watch if you decide to go for it :)
Can you please tell me the name of the squirrel designer? I would love to purchase that pattern. It was the Sal. Thank you
Tell us a little bit more about yourself as well!
I think I will in my second video! :) Thank you!
Cutest cross stitcher I know
Thank you!!
Great first flosstube...it's obvious you love stitching. Keep going!
Thank you very much! I really do! It is something I look forward to doing whenever I can! :D
Welcome to floss tube! What are the things called that you have your floss wrapped around?
They are called Bob-Eez bobbins and you can find them on Amazon! There are great for preventing knots in your floss and keeping everything neat and tidy!
@@thenightowlstitcher thanks so much, really looking forward to watching your show evolve.
