I'd post a video about my fabric organization and storage system but "system" would be a bit of a stretch. More like "chaotic dresser drawer". Gotta figure that out. Thanks for watching!
Very informative. I have always used 14 ct aida but am looking to try a 28 ct evenweave for an sal. Hopefully I am successful. I was also going to try a tea dyed linen for an old pattern I have but you convinced me not to and I think I will be happier. Always look forward to your videos. Keep them coming!
I love working on linen, but I wish someone had warned me before the first time I tried it! I used it for something I planned to display in a hoop and I was never able to get it straight for display. Thanks for watching!
I stitched on hessian (jute?) last year. It definitely wasn't as pleasant as stitching on aida as the holes were so big and the fibres are so scratchy, but it made for a funky market tote bag :)
I don't really crossstitch but i eork with linen quite a bit. A touch of PVA glue along the edge can secure and stabilize the edge. Make sure the fabric is laying flat on something PVA wont adhere to so the weave doesn't skew. Parchment paper or plastic bags like poly mailers from deliveries work well.

“Collecting way more cross stitch fabric than you can ever possibly use” …. lol … This SO me! 😂

I'm so glad you started with the truism about collecting craft supplies! Great video!
I'm already collecting fabric... A beginner on my third project, I find these videos so helpful. The closeups are really good. Thank you, Ford 😀😀👍👍
This is great to hear! Thank you for watching :)
Thank you for explaining the difference!
Of course! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the tip!
Do you have a video on what size needle you use on what size fabric?
I'll add it to my list of video topics!
In the main,
size 28 needle for 18ct Aida / 36ct Evenweave
size 26 needle for 16ct Aida / 32ct Evenweave
size 24 needle for 14ct Aida / 28ct Evenweave
Can you cross stitch on Hardanger?
Yes you can! You work it over 2 thread groups!
