Thank you for this informational clip I unfortunetley lost my Mum a year ago and I wish I paid more attention when she was doing her needle point.... This is clear and comforting to watch, thank you
Sorry that you lost your mom but isn't that the thing kids don't want to learn and then when we get older we wished we would have watched I have learned how to do all this on my own for my mother passed when I was seven but I do love all these different crafts good luck and I hope you make some pretty things with this
Thank you for showing the stitches when you step up or you step down your camera came in close at one time it sure would be nice to see those stitches close up
I have RA for over 40 years. I have adapted many, many things. It all depends how large the project or how rapidly I am working. Then I kind of “reverse-Continental” stitch it. I do not know but that might already be a known stitch. (Like I go bottom right -> upper left). That way, less hand/wrist/ finger/elbow (whatever) pain and less fatigue. The projects I have completed in this manner always appear perfectly fine as long as you complete the entire project in the same way. I hope this is helpful.
Tamara - Mini Xstitcher The back will look different. Continental is more stable and less distorting. Try both on a canvas and you will see the difference on the back.
I believe changing colors is shown in part 3 of Continental Stitch, but if not you may call the shop 215-563-4566 and I am happy to tell you how to change colors. Basically you run the new color along the edge (yes the edge from the back of the canvas, this action anchors the new thread and helps to incorporate the new color when you stitch through. Sounds confusing maybe call the shop) of an existing color and have the thread come up where you want to begin stitching.
Excellent - best instructions I've seen!

What to do if your left handed going right to left is very uncomfortable

Thanks mom
what's different about half stitch, they are the same except that in video one you flipped the fabric over, which my kit doesn't say to do

Ya but its the front that's more important!
How about changing colors
