Hi Misty! It was fun stitching along with you. I prefer a hoop to anything else, unless my design is large, then I tend to use the scroll frame and floor stand. I have been watching all your previous videos and catching up to the present. I think I just started the 2019 videos. I am really enjoying them! I hope you had an enjoyable Thanksgiving and I look forward to your next video! Happy stitching! 👍🏻👏🏻❄️☃️☃️❄️💜🤍💙
No, Mac & Cheese at my House for Thanksgiving...never had it tell I was in my Twenty's ....I was at.a cookout and someone bought it...it was baked and it was really good...I'm on a crazy making bread kick....like every day a different one...I made Filipino Bread for Thanksgiving....it.was so good....and I made sweet honey butter to...thanks for sharing...
Hello! Loved your stitch with me. I am working on Winter snowfall by Shannon Christine. I am using your Soft Sea 18 count Aida and I am using teals and white DMC. It is coming out lovely. I use whatever stand I feel like and sometimes I just use a hoop and prop it on my leg. I love your WIPS! Happy stitching and stay safe. Happy Thanksgiving!
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I’m about finished first page of Dawn Chorus by Long Dog Sampler. Hopefully will finish it tomorrow. After that I’ll set it aside and work on some quick ornaments and possibly start on first design in Christmas at Hawk Run Hollow. I’m only doing a few cross-stitch at a time. I’ve got an embroidery project, a small advent calendar quilt, a little hedge hog to sew too before Christmas. I’ve never heard of macaroni and cheese for Thanksgiving. We did Turkey, cranberry sauce, chestnut dressing, mashed potatoes, and artichokes. No sweets this year. It was just the two of us. Thanks for info on frames. I love the Santa’s and really like the Winter Rose Manor. I’ll have to add that to my list.
Wow, you must be making good progress to already be nearing a page finish! Sounds like you've got some fun projects planned! Your Thanksgiving meal sounds wonderful. :)
Thank you Misty for the great company during stitching time. I am in process of FFO on a Santa Prairie Schooler. I used Sulky Filiane Thread. Don’t know if you heard of it, but beautiful. I am lacing up the back, mounting on a stand up little easel, and some cording made with the Kreinick tool. Glad to hear you caved in and bought the Heavenly Ham. I do the same thing. Spend the money, or not?? Worth every cent spent on the quality and delicious flavor. Hope you enjoy it with your wonderful pie. Thanks for all you do designing for the community. We depend on wonderful people like you to keep this all alive. Happy Thanksgiving
Thank you, Marilyn! The ham was delicious! I definitely made the right decision there and I hope your was tasty too! Your project sounds beautiful, by the way!
I like that project. My husband loves ham and we are having the honey baked ham. Ours was on sale for $1.99 a lb if you got a bigger one and the small was $3.99 so we got the bigger and leftovers here too and will cube some to freeze for beans. I am looking into getting a stand and appreciate the advice. I will fix mac and cheese for my 5 year old, but want eat it. He is picky and that is why I fix it. Thanks for sharing. Have a blessed day and a Happy Thanksgiving. Lucinda
Really enjoyed comments about frames & stands. You reminded me that I have that fanny stand from a crewel class I took a few years ago. I’m mostly a hoop stitcher, sometimes in hand too. I don’t stitch in season, I’m a slow stitcher so I need to get an early start, not last minute. However I’m stitching In Santa Claus Land by WTNT while watching your video. Brenda always has great designs. I have one of your snowmen kitted up to do next. I have Winter Rose Garden started and would like to know your color choices, but “Community” is apparently not available to us iPad stitchers.
I use a Kay's Creations stand and find if I have a larger piece on the stand is tilts, whether it's on my lap or a table. A friend introduced me to weighting it ( specifically, diving weights.) The little beaded kind which come in a bag and that has helped a lot.
I'm loving that pink varigation in the house.... So pretty!! I am stitching on a Christmas pattern that I just started this morning. I'm loving it. I do like to stitch in season but if I don't finish it in season, then I will stitch on it in my regular rotation until it's finished 😀 Happy Thanksgiving to you! I'm in Canada so Thanksgiving was ages ago...lol.
Thank you, I really like the pink, too! I bought some of it last Christmas for a friend of mine whose name is Meredith. It seemed appropriate. I'm sometimes a little jealous when you Canadians have your Thanksgiving. It is hard to be patient until late November. ;)
Happy Thanksgiving! How nice to share this time as I stitched for awhile between lunch time meal delivery to loved ones and my evening Thanksgiving meal with my husband. I’m working on some gift stitching.
I’m stitching a Christmas design that I started on Thanksgiving. No, my family never cooked macaroni and cheese on Thanksgiving. Or any holiday that I can ever remember. If all I had was pie for thanksgiving I’d be happy too. 😊. Thank you for demonstrating on the hoops and giving your ideas. I’m wanting one myself. Love the pink house, so delicate. 🥰
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm stitching Dimensions Snowman Gathering Stocking. A snowman, a reindeer a couple squirrels and birds perched on the reindeer's antlers. Won't get it fully finished this year but will have it for next year. I'm in the mood for Christmas stitching too!
I am in Atlantic Canada and no never mac and cheese, I heard of that on someone else’s flosstube.and green bean I think is more a states thing. But never had heard of it before this yr. your stitching is so neat. I have problems making 1or 1 even on 28 hard to be neat.. I don’t know why. I like to start what I want when I want but saying that I was planning lilas studio quaker welcome for my bday(new yrs eve) or Christmas and like a cherry blossom on new yrs day. I also have two stockings to do next yr. am stitching sweater weather almost finished it. I need to stitch spring more as my favourite is fall, however I need to get some spring/summer stuff. My next smalls are birdhouse garden, plumposies pinkeep by from the heart needlearts and welcome spring by brenda Gervais. Have homespun elegance ordered welcome autumn and winter and they are in however the lns owner hasn’t responded to my needing it mailed as cant go get it now that we aren’t allowed to travel..
Cindy, I wonder if trying a different type of fabric for your over 1 stitching would help? For example, if you used lugana, maybe try jobelan or linda?
Ok Misty, on ur stand, put it in front of you. I use a few layers of batting to protect the rod. Ur hoop. Can't you pull the dowel out and saw a few inches off?????? Just saying.i have a new table stand coming from Office Supply of all places. Lol. It's an 8 or 10 in.hoop that's held on both sides. You can flip it over.... Thought it would be good for ornaments.??? Very informative.. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🦃🦃
You and I think alike, Theresa. I have tried putting batting around the hoop and putting it in the floor stand. It put quite a crease in the linen even with that extra padding and I was worried I wouldn't be able to get it out when I ironed it. Vonna says she does it, so maybe it is fine. But I have been meaning to try putting the stem of the hoop in the stand to see if that would work--just haven't gotten to it yet. :) I'll report back. I also had thought of sawing off the bottom end of the dowel, but it won't work because the top is wider and can't go down farther into the shaft in the base. Your office supply table sounds intriguing!
Enjoyed stitching with you! I was stitching my Women of the Mayflower . Your colors of the Rosewood Manor are breathtaking!! Of course, I need that chart now! Lol
I start new projects whenever. . . not necessarily on a holiday. I have had more than one project started at a time, bu t I find it harder to finish those. Better for me to work on one consistently. I’ve been stitching pretty regularly on Christmas designs since the pandemic started. I’m a Prairie Schooler fanatic! And I stitched your lovely red bird design! Happy Thanksgiving, Misty! 🦃🧡🍁
Hi Misty. This is my first video (I subscribed). You were very real and that was helpful. Thank you :-) Can you please tell me the name of the Santa on horseback pattern?
Hi there, In our family we also have baked Mac and cheese and instead of mashed potatoes we have rice dressing or cornbread dressing. I have the potoky lap or table stand. They also have a floor stand I’d love to have but it is very expensive.
I liked the stitch with me video great idea. I’m from Massachusetts we don’t do Mac and cheese. Better nut squash is a big one and dressing. I’ve not started my winter rose manor will you post your colors. I want pink and rose colors I plan on stitching it for my bedroom I have pinks in there. Have a great day. I love peppermint so I’m stitching candy cane by Priscilla. I’m just stitching on vintage country mocha 14 count wanted a easy stitch. Happy thanksgiving God bless.
Thank you for sharing all of your tips, and ideas on your frames and stands. I'm using one of K's Creations very old frame. You have to unscrew it every time you want to work in a thread on the back. I don't like it at all. I do like your hoop, and may try that for awhile. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Take care. Diane
I have the Artisan Lap stand and all the scrolls. I just don’t seem to be able to get enough tension on the scrolls. It seems to loosen over time as I stitch as well. I have Hardwicke hoops that I love and use with the lap stand. What a great tip from your boyfriend to put the bottom of the lap stand under the couch cushion. On small pieces I stitch in hand.but they have to be very small. I love your Rose Wood Manor piece and was wondering if you would share your conversion of your flosses. I would love to stitch it over the winter season!! Thank you for sharing your opinion of all the stands and frames. I think it is so helpful for anyone trying to decide on what they would like to purchase. Happy Thanksgiving.
@@MistyPurselI can’t find the photo of your conversion. I have to admit I am not very tech savvy. I am not on Instagram. I do Facebook and e:Mail and TH-cam. Can I bother you for instructions on how to find the photo? Thank you.
I really enjoyed your color suggestions for Winter Rose Manor, and loved seeing all your different stands. Thanks so much for all your videos!! Hope you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving! I loooove honey baked ham! My students are hanging on by a thread right now, too. Everyone is so tired. Thanks for info on frames. I am thinking about asking for one for Christmas fo my embroidery (and cross stitch). Thanks for reviewing. I grew up in Iowa and we never eat Mac and cheese on Thanksgiving. Never ham either. That was for Easter. Lol.
Thank you so much to your partner for the suggestion regarding your hoop frame. I have an identical one & also find it sits too high, I put it under one of my thighs at a funny angle to try & lower it. I can’t believe that it never crossed my mind to put it under my sofa seat cushion...it works brilliantly! ❤️
Great video, Misty! Really enjoyed your thoughts on the different stands. I tend to like stitching in season, but for smalls, I’m trying to stitch ahead to get them done for the upcoming season. Right now, I’m working on Merry Old Soul (WTNT), and Grateful, Thankful, & Blessed (WTNT). I may stop on that on December 1st to pick up a holiday sampler. I do want to get the house finished before moving on though (and it is also a three story house 😞). Hope your Thanksgiving was a good one!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING MISTY! EAT ALL THE HAM!! My family in Georgia always makes homemade Mac & cheese on Thanksgiving. Maybe it’s a Southern thing? Or maybe it’s just one of those side dishes you know everyone will eat; especially children. Yes get a size 28 needle for the 46 count. I use them on 40 count also.
Happy Thanksgiving, Jenny! Good point about the mac and cheese being a safe bet with kids. :) Thanks, I found my stash of size 28 needles and I will give that a go on the 46 count and maybe on the raw linen too.
We are starting as usual after the holidays but moving spring break later and going fully remote after that. We did the same in fall. Fall break is Thanksgiving, and we are fully remote from here on out.
@@MistyPursel seemed to work out well this fall. The governor required all universities to go to all remote learning 3 days before we would have anyway. Almost made it.
You did not show, but at one point you theared your needle, could you show the new people different ways of doing this? I was one you always wet the tip of the thread, till I saw someone place the thread overthe finger and place the needle on top of the thread, then move it back and forth till the thread raised up though the eye! This is my new way of threading. 💖
Hey Misty. I enjoyed it very much. I have mostly frames i hold in my left hand. I am to frames, large and smalls. It debend on what I stitch. We dont have thanksgivning here in denmark. We more celebrate december and advent. It is 1. advent on sunday, I am just now stitching on Santa Claus from Subrosa. It is a very sweet pattern, and what to have it finish so I can use it with the other small pillows I have. Thank you for a great video, happy stitching and a good Thanksgivning. Kirsten from Denmark
I never understood why people had mash potatoes when you already had stuffing ???????? Never heard of the Mac n cheese!!! I bought a smoked turkey this year! To me it's a cross of turkey n ham, yum!!! Going to free the other half for Christmas.
Happy Thanksgiving! Here in New Orleans we always have mac & cheese, plus mirliton casserole, deviled eggs, gumbo, ham, turkey, sometimes a roast with rice and gravy. My Italian friends have lasagna instead of mac & cheese. Plus cakes and pies and all the usual sides. Most of my friends from the north and Midwest have a more pared down menu, but they stop in at our house to get a plate!
🍁 Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 My plan was to stitch “Give Thanks” until today but couldn’t resist a couple new Christmas smalls that released this week so it’s on to Christmas 🎄🙂. Thanks for the stand review. I also switch between lap, floor, and hand depending on the project.
Happy Thanksgiving!🦃🦃🦃Thank you for the great video!🦩🦩🦩I am stitching “Goodbye Fall” by Plum Street...planning to start more Christmas ornaments 🎄No macaroni and cheese for us! Born and raised in Florida!🦩I am planning to make a pecan pie! Honey Baked Ham is awesomely delicious!🥧🥧🥧🍖🍖🍖Enjoy!🦩🦩🦩
I can stitch out of season. I have a muliti seasonal piece that have a summer fall winter and spring piece in it. I also have a halloween I am finishing and a couple of Christmas pieces. I have a couple of religiious themed and a couple of paula vaugh quilt cross stitch designs.
Thank you, Darlene! I used this: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K79L8HR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I'd suggest avoiding the ones that have colors, just in case they would ever transfer to your fabric.
I forgot I got one of your ornament I’m going to start for my car project at work. Sounds crazy but I always have a car project I got your snowman ⛄️ in the bowl it will be just perfect to stitch in my car.
I think it can help a little to have that tension on the fabric. For me personally, what helped me see it better was getting a better light (and I didn't think the light I had been using before was at all bad). I got a Brightec light last Christmas because I liked that you could change the color of the light (helps for my model stitching), it has an adjustable arm, and it has a magnifier built in. I stopped using the magnifier because the light was really good and I haven't needed it. Don't know if it would help in your case, but maybe something to consider.
Happy Thanksgiving, Misty. Really enjoyed this flosstube. So far, I only stitch in hand, but I appreciate your insight into frames. Today, I'm crocheting after Zooming with my family (some halfway across the world, some just across town) for our distanced holiday. I'm in Minnesota and had never heard of mac and cheese as a Thanksgiving side. But a couple of weeks ago, Ocean Spray posted this map of states' most popular Thanksgiving side dishes, and thanked New Hampshire, the only ones who named cranberries.😂 There's apparently a whole contingent of southern states who love mac and cheese! www.zippia.com/advice/popular-thanksgiving-sides/

Hi Misty. This is my first video (I subscribed). You were very real and that was helpful. Thank you :-)
Can you please tell me the name of the Santa on horseback pattern?
Thank you! It is from the leaflet, Santa Rides by Prairie Schooler.
Happy Thanksgiving. 🦃. Thank you for a great stitch with me video.
Same to you! :)
Hi there, In our family we also have baked Mac and cheese and instead of mashed potatoes we have rice dressing or cornbread dressing. I have the potoky lap or table stand. They also have a floor stand I’d love to have but it is very expensive.
That's interesting that the mac and cheese replaces mashed potatoes for your family!
How do you like your Potoky stand?
I really like my Potoky. I can use q snaps, scroll frames or hoops but the draw back is that it takes a while to get it from Yugoslavia.
I liked the stitch with me video great idea. I’m from Massachusetts we don’t do Mac and cheese. Better nut squash is a big one and dressing. I’ve not started my winter rose manor will you post your colors. I want pink and rose colors I plan on stitching it for my bedroom I have pinks in there. Have a great day.

Thanks for visting me, Kirsten! I hope your Advent celebration is wonderful!
I never understood why people had mash potatoes when you already had stuffing ???????? Never heard of the Mac n cheese!!! I bought a smoked turkey this year! To me it's a cross of turkey n ham, yum!!! Going to free the other half for Christmas.
I bet that smoked turkey was wonderful! Good idea to save some of it for Christmas! :)
Happy Thanksgiving! Here in New Orleans we always have mac & cheese, plus mirliton casserole, deviled eggs, gumbo, ham, turkey, sometimes a roast with rice and gravy. My Italian friends have lasagna instead of mac & cheese. Plus cakes and pies and all the usual sides. Most of my friends from the north and Midwest have a more pared down menu, but they stop in at our house to get a plate!
Wow, that sounds like an awesome spread! I can see why your friends stop by! ;)
Really enjoyed the stitch with me video!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
🍁 Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 My plan was to stitch “Give Thanks” until today but couldn’t resist a couple new Christmas smalls that released this week so it’s on to Christmas 🎄🙂. Thanks for the stand review. I also switch between lap, floor, and hand depending on the project.
How cool that you switch up how you stitch, too!
Happy Thanksgiving!🦃🦃🦃Thank you for the great video!🦩🦩🦩I am stitching “Goodbye Fall” by Plum Street...planning to start more Christmas ornaments 🎄No macaroni and cheese for us! Born and raised in Florida!🦩I am planning to make a pecan pie! Honey Baked Ham is awesomely delicious!🥧🥧🥧🍖🍖🍖Enjoy!🦩🦩🦩
Yum! I love pecan pie!
I never had mac & cheese til I moved to florida. I noticed it's common for families to have it for Thanksgiving and all holiday meals!!!!!! Who knew?
That's so interesting! It does sound like it is more common in the south.
I am just starting this sampler. What is your hoop wrapped with please?
I used this: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K79L8HR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thank you for this demo. I'm newish to stitching, so this was nice to see how to use both hands. May I ask where did you get the padded hoop?
Hi Erin, I added the padding to the hoop. I got it on Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K79L8HR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I can stitch out of season. I have a muliti seasonal piece that have a summer fall winter and spring piece in it. I also have a halloween I am finishing and a couple of Christmas pieces. I have a couple of religiious themed and a couple of paula vaugh quilt cross stitch designs.
Sounds like a fun array of designs to stitch!
Happy Thanksgiving 😊
Happy Thanksgiving, Sheila!

I'd suggest avoiding the ones that have colors, just in case they would ever transfer to your fabric.
Thank you so much for the video, I am finishing up an autumn Mill Hill this morning, glad to have someone to visit with xox
Thanks for visiting with me, Julie!
Happy thanksgiving hope you are good. God bless enjoy your day.
Thank you! I hope you had a great day!
I forgot I got one of your ornament I’m going to start for my car project at work. Sounds crazy but I always have a car project I got your snowman ⛄️ in the bowl it will be just perfect to stitch in my car.
That's an awesome idea to have a car project!
it was nice
Happy Thanksgiving!🍁🦃
Happy Thanksgiving!
From the midwest and southern California, no mac n cheese.
I struggle with higher count fabric. Do you find stitching in a hoop or scroll help with higher count?
I think it can help a little to have that tension on the fabric. For me personally, what helped me see it better was getting a better light (and I didn't think the light I had been using before was at all bad).
I got a Brightec light last Christmas because I liked that you could change the color of the light (helps for my model stitching), it has an adjustable arm, and it has a magnifier built in. I stopped using the magnifier because the light was really good and I haven't needed it. Don't know if it would help in your case, but maybe something to consider.
I seem to like working on one project at a time.
It's a good way to make sure it gets done!

Happy Thanksgiving, Misty. Really enjoyed this flosstube. So far, I only stitch in hand, but I appreciate your insight into frames. Today, I'm crocheting after Zooming with my family (some halfway across the world, some just across town) for our distanced holiday. I'm in Minnesota and had never heard of mac and cheese as a Thanksgiving side. But a couple of weeks ago, Ocean Spray posted this map of states' most popular Thanksgiving side dishes, and thanked New Hampshire, the only ones who named cranberries.😂 There's apparently a whole contingent of southern states who love mac and cheese! www.zippia.com/advice/popular-thanksgiving-sides/
That Thanksgiving side dish map was awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I loved seeing and hearing about the different stitching frames.
I'm so glad! :)
