Leave me a COMMENT below - Did you know removing stitches is referred to as 'frogging' because of the sound frogs make - 'rippit, rippit, rippit'?

ABOUT ME:
Thanks for visiting my channel, I hope you enjoyed the video! I founded Caterpillar Cross Stitch in 2015 when I tried desperately for months to find a modern baby sampler my mum could stitch for new baby Felicity that would fit in with her simple, contemporary nursery. I love cross stitch, running, baking fruit cakes, drinking gin, eating salted caramel ice cream and most crafts!
See you soon and happy stitching! Sally x

Thank you, this is very helpful to me. Thanks to you I learned something new.
So pleased that you found this useful! Thank you for watching
Hey, I'm know to cross stitch, and I'm learning so much. Thank you! One thing I do know is knitting, which is wear the term "frogging" comes from. In knitting, when you need to take out a lot of stitches, you take out your needles, grab the end of the yarn, and "rip-it, rip-it, rip-it". You frog it 🐸
Same for cross stitching. I love how the terms cross over for different fibre arts :)
Love the chicken floss method thank you.
Thanks for watching! Glad you found it helpful.
Awesome content and great tips, since I am new again to cross stitch. Would love to see a beading video, hope you will add it to your list.
We will add it to the list! Thanks for watching.
Good advice. Especially with the seam ripper.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for these tips!!😊
Thanks for watching!
Loved the additional information on "frogging" - how about some of your thoughts on what needle to use for what material 😳
I'll put it on the list!
Very useful video! Even for experienced stitches, lol. I would love to see a series of videos for advanced stitchers. Some examples would be how to mount linen with correct tension in hoops or Q snaps, then how to maintain that tension. Another good one would be tips and tricks for stitching 1 over 1 on evenweave or linen. Another great one would be how to grid mark on linen or evenweave without drawing on 3 rows at once. Anyway, love the content! ❤
I'll add these to the list of ideas!
Currently stitching over 1 on 28 for the first time, and it has been quite an adjustment!
Ford….I really appreciate your presentation style…….You share a number of ways to correct an error…..but so appreciate the last explanation which is so culturally rich with wisdom …….oh maybe a reminder for people like me not to do this when You are over-tired……I am a morning personality…..and I can usually handle it with some rest……
Totally the opposite. I know better than to attempt anything that requires use of a brain before 9 AM! But it's good to know one's limitations, lol.
Your last comment about leaving "mistakes" reminds me of Bob Ross - we don't make mistakes, only happy accidents!
If we wanted it to be perfect, we'd probably just have a machine do it, right?
I’m new to CrossStitching and have really learned a lot from you….. thank you😊
Glad to be of help! Thanks for watching!
Once again, I thoroughly enjoyed your video. When I go back to the piece, I was working on months ago called whale in a lightbulb. I will be facing an area that will need major frogging. I use the wrong shade of blue and it’s a fairly large area, but now, I will look at it with a different eye and if I have to frog it, I will only do selective areas and fill it in with the correct thread so it may look more natural. Thank you thank you for a wonderful video.
Thanks for watching! Glad you found it helpful!
I never knew this was called frogging! I tend to either do frogging or leave it and work around it. No one has never noticed my mistakes!
It really is personalise preference isn't it. We don't like to call them mistakes - we call them personalisations! :)
I started cross stitching 30 years ago and had no one to teach me. My husband was stationed in Italy and I was there with him. I picked up a kit from the base craft store and the rest was history. Being self- taught has given me the ability to shrug my shoulders when someone tells I am doing something wrong....as long as the finished product is beautiful there is no wrong way!
But thanks to you and others, I am learning some really cool tricks that are much faster than my old ways@
Fantastic video! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Great video, thank you. I will leave my mistakes unless they spoil what I've already done. X
Thank you for watching!
I love it, "an on the fly customization you made by mistake", so cute! Always looking to avoid that unwelcome visit from the frog! Thanks Ford. (Hope I got your name right)
Yup, Ford! I get enough visits from the frog without inviting him in when not totally necessary!
I would like to see how someone would go about making curved writing on my cross stitch projects!
Thanks for the request, we will feed this back to the relevant team :)
Same way with Native American beadwork...I've done it with traditional beadwork.
Excellent, thank you, very nice and useful video and I also loved the "an on the fly customization that you made accidentally" 👩🎨 An other option, for me at least, when I stitch on a full coverage project and I make a mistake which I notice later on, as long as it's not very important of course, I stitch over it. I have a full coverage project which I stitch on 25ct Lugana one over one. So when I make a mistake in an area with different shades of blue etc, which they look almost the same anyways, I just stitch over it and it works. It's really annoying undoing one over one stitches so I try to avoid it 😊🪡🧵🎄
I have always heard that it is called frogging because of the frog sound, “rabbit, ribbit” , which sounds like “rip it, rip it”.
I really should proofread! Ribbet, Ribbet!
I think it's a combination of the two, with both reasons reinforcing each other.
I‘m rather new to cross stitching and thoroughly enjoy and appreciate your videos and calm voice - thanks!
One question, what is a good/easy way to stop fraying on the fabric edges when working on a project?
I use either a zigzag stitch on my sewing machine or a blanket stitch. I'll make a video later about how to do those both!
I just saw someone who used washi tape on their edges. I have previously zigzagged around mine but will try the washi tape idea on my next project and see how long it will last.
Yes, be careful with seam rippers! I also sew and numerous times, I have sliced the side of my finger, resulting in some bleeding!
I recently did a DMC kit and I didn't like how one small section looked. I adapted it with a few new rows and I think it looks better than how it originally was supposed to look like.
I spy with my little eye, an orange cat with green eyes during the part about the sounds of frogging. I love cats so thats how I noticed it.
One tip that I do when I have to frog a lot is cry, put away the project for a bit (even 5 minutes helps) and then I'm not so angry or upset when undoing the stitches.
OMG, I didn't even notice! That's Caramel. She's a Bengal (a real one, not just a stripey orange cat) and she's the reason Nugget hasn't been in recent videos.
Crying is almost always good advice! But yes, never frog angry! Good tip!
@@SonovaStitch I work from home and FaceTime customers. The other day, one of my customers had a beautiful orange and black cat named Rocket. My customer then went around her house showing me her other NINE cats!! Then she started her appointment with me 😅
It's called frogging because you have to rip it, rip it, rip it out (ribbit, ribbit, like a frog) 🐸
Exactly! It's not the sound😅
I think it's both, reinforcing each other. One of those memetics things like "in like flynn" that just sounds good so it catches on.
I second Ford’s caution to be VERY CAREFUL using a seam ripper. I’ve cut my material before…ugh!!!
I've seen it many times and it's heartbreaking!
I would like to get some advice on finishing, elides framing or pillows, please.
Once again, I failed to proofread! Besides framing or pillows!
I'll add it to the list of future videos!
Thank you, Ford. Say hi to Nugget.
Some cultures do indeed make a deliberate "mistake" because "Only God is perfect" - I must admit I say this a lot!! When pulling out a thread, use a quilter's pin with a beaded end, much easier to find, and safer, when it backflips away!
Thanks for sharing!
🤩🥰☺️😊
