Your new look is awesomeness on you😮, like the new you. Thank's for moving for a minute 😂, got to see your pretty alcove , with charts. Must be fun to look at and sit. Have a wonderful cruise, Terry too.😊❤
My backs are neat. It's just how I roll...at least with cross stitch. I know no one will see it, but I know it's there😊. Have a great time on your cruise!
Mine are mostly neat! I am a very slow stitcher sooo…there’s that! Loved this flosstube today Elayne! Have a great weekend friend! Love ya! Thank you for all you and Terry do for our community! 😘❤️
I like to think I'm going to have a neat back, but when I flip it over, it's messy . 😜 Thank you for sharing the Throwback Thursday items. I live them all!
Enjoy your cruise and relax! I’m so excited about Paisleys and Polkadots! I love her products. I’d say my back would be considered a mess to most, but I’m perfectly okay with it. 😊❤
Have a wonderful cruise and vacation, Elayne! It really sounds like a lot of fun. The back of my Crosstitch pieces are partially neat as a pin and partially a rat nest. If there’s a big swath of stitching in the same color, I am able to make it very, very neat. 🙂🎃🍁🍂
My backs are always very neat. Why? Because that is how I was taught when I learned as a child. Funny story...I once took a piece in for framing and asked my father to pick it up for me when it was finished. When he brought it over I was shocked. I showed to everyone in my family and asked if they could see anything wrong with it. No one could! Finally I told them it had been framed backwards! My back was facing forward! Obviously I took it back and they fixed it and it is now hanging on my wall. But so funny!
Have a wonderful cruise and enjoy all your family time!! Love that you've joined up with Paisleys and Polkadots, so fun! And my backs usually aren't too bad. I try to not waste thread by jumping all over the place. There are moments though, lol!
Good morning … enjoyed your video this morning … I am a neat stitcher on the back of my projects … hope you have fun on your cruise 🚢 with your uncle and your sister … and with your children when you return … I think the wooden finishes are really nice … until next time Happy Stitching 🧵 … 😊❤ Dena
I think most the time the back off my project is fairly neat. I try not to carry thread too much, especially if it is a dark color. When I am finished nobody is going to see my back. I hope you have a wonderful time on the cruise with your family. Enjoy your visit with your grandchildren also.
I try my best to keep my backs neat… not that anybody notices… but I know! Sometimes I get knots that I can’t undo, sometimes I travel … but all in all I’m pretty proud of my backs!! 😊🍁
My backs can be neat or messy. Most of the time they are neat. I think how you stitch and how the pattern is designed makes a difference how the back looks. Have a great cruise.
Your hair looks good! It's good to change it up every so often:) The back of my stitching pieces always look neat. Unfortunately, I have OCD so a messy back is not an option for me. I envy the people who can stitch without concern with the back of their project.
Have a great time on the cruise!!! I like to think that my backs are neat. It's just the way I was taught to stitch, it's not something I really care about. Nobody should be looking back there. 😂
Love your new hairstyle, Elayne! I try to keep my backs fairly neat and I'll thread under if I can instead of jumping over blank squares to a new area, but by no means are they "model stitch"-worthy. Enjoy your cruise!
Depending on the projects, my backs will either be messing or neat, lol! If I have to carry a thread, they often times are messy. But more often than not, I try to be mindful and keep them neat.
I love Paisley & Polka Dot items they are so well made and cute!! Unfortunately my backs are not the prettiest but hopefully not many people see them !!
My backs are usually neat with very few carrying threads. I think it's a direct result of too many years of judged sewing competitions. In those, the judges turned the garments inside out to inspect the construction. It's just carried over to the stitching. It's come in handy now that I'm working on a certification thru EGA (Embroiderers' Guild of America).The back is part of the judging criteria in determining if you've passed the step. Enjoy the cruise and spending time with your family.
I work hard to keep the back neatly. However sometimes with a lot of color changes my back can get a little messy. Hope you have a wonderful vacation!!! 🤗
Enjoy your cruise! The backs of my pieces are pretty neat. I don't like knots or stray threads. I do however, travel on occasion, and that does look a little messy! Safe travels my friend!! ❤️🪡
Neat back! I did model stitching for Leisure Arts in Little Rock, AR. I had to take in my stitching, the back was the first thing they looked at. The backs had to be as neat as the fronts.
Have fun on your cruise. I leave with a friend out of Mobile on a Carnival Spirit for Belize, Cozumel, Montego Bay, and Costa Maya - 8 days. I’ll start my SAL when I get back 😊 my backs are not messy but probably not as neat as they could be if I’d trim my threads back a little more.
I need to go look at the stitch along , you tempted me lol. Have fun on your cruise . I use to be a horrid back but have gotten better and cleaner as I’ve continued to stitch. I try to bury my threads and not skip over but just a few in between… I’m sure there are many that would look and still see a hot mess lol. I will say when I do make a mess on the back. It also tends to be when I’m starting to get tired. So I should probably stop stitching and I don’t ha ha
I think the back of my project is on the neater side. Occasionally I will have a birds nest that I didn't realize until much later and I will trim it back the best I can but otherwise I don't carry threads because I try to save as much floss as possible.
Your hair looks awesome. I did the same thing. I got tired of my "blonde" hair. Have fun on the cruise!! I have never been on so I look forward to hearing about yours. My back depends on the project and if it is going good. LOL
Enjoy your cruise. I am leaving for my first one in November and taking the Plum Street Samplers SAL with me. I always think my backs look messy but others have commented how neat mine look so, I guess they aren’t as bad as I judge them to be.
I like to make my pieces with neat backs but if I’m getting near my end of thread I sometimes will travel a short distance to finish so I don’t waste thread, Love your new hair color. I’m a natural kind of girl and have never colored my hair.
I have been making a very concentrated effort to improve my back side! It finishes off so much better when I give it that added effort. No more weird peaks and valleys on the front side.
Hi, my 1st happy mail question response. The back of my stitching is very very neat. I never knot the thread or drag from one spot to another. I need the completed piece to lay flat for finishing.
I don't think my backs are very neat. Seems like I try, but somewhere along the line I have a stitch that I didn't even know was messed up on the back. I try to remember that finished is better than perfect! Have a great cruise.
When I flip over my cross stitch it’s sometimes a messy back and sometimes a neat back. If it’s for someone else or a model stitch I’m doing is a neat back lol
Your channel just showed up on my feed. I enjoyed your video and subscribed. I have never been to retreat because I can't afford them and never see the sign up in time anyway, but today I did. I can definitely do the Christmas one and signed up for it. I'm very excited. I try to make the back of my stitching neat, although, sometimes it isn't because of a lot of different colors in a small space or confetti.
It depends if it’s a large full pattern or a simple pattern. If it’s a large full pattern it tends to be messy; too many color changes otherwise it’s fairly neat.
I have a very neat back, just because if it were messy it would bother me. Lol Thanks for all your information today, so much to think about. I would like to do something for those who lost so much. I was thinking if people could send to you kits. They would have everything that they needed to start a project. Of course, it would be free to them. I know they have a million things on their mind, but to just relax for a minute doing what you love would warm their heart. What do you think?
I love your new hair color, or original color! It makes you look 10years younger! Great choice!
My backs are pretty neat. Nice new hair color and trim.
Your new look is awesomeness on you😮, like the new you. Thank's for moving for a minute 😂, got to see your pretty alcove , with charts. Must be fun to look at and sit. Have a wonderful cruise, Terry too.😊❤
How messy my backs are depend on my mood and if I get in a hurry. lol. Love your flosstube. I watch every Friday.
My backs are becoming neater as I continue to grow as a stitcher. I’m actually very proud of how much neater they are!
My backs are neat. It's just how I roll...at least with cross stitch. I know no one will see it, but I know it's there😊. Have a great time on your cruise!

Sometimes messy. Depends if I've had to travel threads very far. 😮
Have a wonderful vacation, and relax!!❤
Morning, I'm a hairdresser, so I noticed your hair right away, looks fantastic.❤
I love We Gather Together! The back of my linen is neat as a pin. Have a grand time on your cruise.
My backs can be neat or messy. Most of the time they are neat. I think how you stitch and how the pattern is designed makes a difference how the back looks. Have a great cruise.
We gather Together is Very Cute!

My backs or neat because I like my work to look finished and beautiful.
Have a wonderful cruise and enjoy. My backs are medium messy. But have become better as I practice. Safe travels.
I try to have a neat back. I love the finished pieces at the end of the video. Be safe on your cruise and enjoy.
I have a halfway need back! I'm signed up for the Christmas popup and can't wait!
You look amazing! I hope you have the best time on the cruise..
Kinda neat, I don't like to jump over empty squares. But, if I can thread it under it's a go😂

I am half and half. I try not to travel so much as I used to, so the back is looking better. Enjoyed your video today….lots going on❤️
Cruises are so much fun! Excited to participate in your stitch along. My back is sometimes mess and sometimes neat…Thank you Elayne!
I work hard to keep the back neatly. However sometimes with a lot of color changes my back can get a little messy.

Always a messy back! No one will see it so no need to be perfect. Also I love your new hair! :)
Most of the time, my backs are clean. Save travels.
My backs are mostly neat but occasionally, I do carry-over..😬Saw some must-haves in this!!
Excited you will be carrying Paidleys and Polka Dot wood decor!

I would have bought the Oct. box if I had known it was Thanksgiving. I don’t do halloween
Happy stitching
Glad to see you today
Neat back! I did model stitching for Leisure Arts in Little Rock, AR. I had to take in my stitching, the back was the first thing they looked at.
The backs had to be as neat as the fronts.
My backs are usually neat, but not perfect. I rarely travel, and try to snip any ends that are hanging.
Enjoy your cruise!!!
Love your hair! My back is messy but it’s improved a lot since I restarted cross stitching. Have a wonderful cruise!
I got on the wait list for the Disney retreat! I really hope a spot opens up!

I try to make my backs as neat as possible. Not always successful though😄 Enjoy your cruise and family time!
Have fun on the cruise! I try to make my backs as neat as possible, but if I have to travel with floss, I do it. I’m the only one who’s going to know.

Loved the video. My backs are a mix.Safe travels
Messy back, but hopefully I will get to a neat back.
My back is a mix! I want it to be neat but I often get knots that I don’t even notice until I’m too far gone and don’t want to frog it!
Neat back always! 😅

Welcome aboard!
I try to keep my backs fairly neat. Some are better than others.
most of the time it is somewhat neat. it depends if i have a lot of color changes or not.
It depends if it’s a large full pattern or a simple pattern. If it’s a large full pattern it tends to be messy; too many color changes otherwise it’s fairly neat.
Most of the time it’s per neat
I try to keep the backs neat. It depends on the stitch design. If there is a lot of confetti I will travel.
Enjoy your cruise
My stitching in the back of my projects are fairly neat. Not perfect by any means though.

Some of them are neat and others messy!
I try to keep my back neat, but others may disagree with my definition of neat! 😀
Still Missy but it's getting better.
Messy but getting better. Sometimes I'm embarrassed to take my cross stitch to the framer but they've probably seen worse.
Messy! My backs are really messy but I am working making them a little neater 💗
I try to have it neat but usually turns out messy!!😊
I try to keep my backs neat because I can’t sometimes be a perfectionist.
I have a messy back!
Sometimes I carry my threads, but not more than 5 stitches at a time.
I try to keep my backs neat, they by no means look as neat as Kimberly’s from FQS.
I am sometimes messy especially if I have to change colors a lot and sometimes neat. I usually don’t worry about it since no one will see it.
When I flip my cross stitch over it’s a medium mess. But, it’s a neat mess wannabe 😉
I have never joined a stitch along. 😢
Messy back compared to others' stitchery. Just nit the neatest stitcher! Enjoy your cruise. Safe travels.
