- What is tent stitch and why do you use it? It's not quite cross stitch, and not quite needlepoint, but can make stitching large projects on high-count fabric so much easier.

Hey there! This video presents ideas and methods intended to help new
and experienced stitchers find new methods of doing their craft. There
is no right or wrong way to be creative or make art. If this works for
you, I'm glad it helped! If you have questions, please ask! If you
don't like this method, please move on. These comments are not a place
to tell others what the "correct" way may or may not be.
(love this too by the way. Perfectly articulated!)
Lol your tiny box Tim and spring trap plushies are giving me a nostalgia bomb from 2016 lol
Milesy! I've watched about a dozen videos on tent stitch and yours is by far THE BEST AND MOST HELPFUL. The only thing that would have made it better is if you had somehow sent me a telepathic message a year ago when I first started figuring this out OR a month ago when I decided to try again and told me to watch this video. Oh and also, I had given up on the loop start, but watching you do it in this video has got me thinking I can do it. I'm gonna watch your loop start video, but I already feel like I have a head start on it.....hee hee hee
Thank you! You're videos are great - you have a super camera presence. Really enjoy watching!
FWT : watched and thank you ! I had no Idea there was a tension layment in this craft , your going to make a rock star out of me yet , Keep up the good work !
Love the Chaotic Neutral! I often feel chaotic when stitching!
I hadnt heard of this term before, i will have to try this stitch on one of my patterns to see how it goes. Thanks for showing this technique xx
Thanks Milesy. Explained very well. I'm looking at your videos and I am learning so much. Very helpful. X
Thank you for a really easy to listen to and very clear lesson to understand. You are a natural teacher Milesy. 🙂
Thank you for taking the time to film and explain the tent stitch! It was clear and straightforward, and I ‘m especially grateful for your explanation at the end about stitching technique re: different counts of fabric and keeping the floss under a tension that maintains its 45 degree angle. Totally new concept to me, and something I’ll be paying more attention to :) My project right now is a huge full coverage piece, and I was curious how tent stitches worked. Thanks again!
I never heard a half stitch being called a tent stitch. Interesting information about thread placement too. I learn something new every day. Thanks.
Half stitch and tent stitch are stitched differently so they're effectively two types of stitches. 😊
@@Hannah591er, uh...look like half stitches to me...🤷🏼♀️
Thank you, this was one of the best cross stitch explanations videos I have watch, clean and simple. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
I'm glad it helped!
Thank you Milesy My Stitches have gotten a lot more even since you showed me this thing about how the thread gets pulled in different ways. I hadn’t realized it would make such a difference. All your videos are very helpful. You are a great teacher! So thanks, and be well.
I love this video! You explained this so well! Thank you!
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you!!! I just started cross stitching this year and I have so much to learn. Also, you blew my mind with the loop start. That's going to save me so much time. XD
Wow!!! I never thought about the hole you use causes you he thread to pull one way or the other! I came to try to find out what 10th stitching was, and I learned something else that is really helpful! Thank you!
What a helpful and informative video! Thank you so much!
Thank you for such a nice, well explained video
Fantastic tutorial. Thank you for this link. 👍🏽🙋🏻
Thank you for this video. I’ve recently started full coverages and this may help me.
This is a good tutorial. Thanks for posting 😊
Love your videos. You teach me a lot. I appreciate it.
Great video.Very well explain. I will look around the rest of your videos.
thanks for showimg the looks with diff amts of floss very informative 👍
Love this video. Thanks, very helpful!
Your videos are always so clear and helpful, thank you! Also, you look beautiful in this video. I LOVE your purple hair XD
Thank you for this video!! I learned a lot. I'm thinking of giving this stitch a go for a big project 😀
Thank you! Not only learned how to tent stitch, but why to stitch in the way that you should do it. I am going to tent stitching on a full coverage piece that I am starting in January.
I also love the way you do a loop start from the front... I always turned my project upside down to start my loop from the back and your method is so much simpler! ❤️
I am always looking for the easiest way to do something! haha
Hello from Ohio. Like to watch a listen to you .
Finally found a better looking stitch, didn’t like the laying down stitch effect / not sure why it is popular🤷♀️, thanks for saying it is ok to use❤️
When I read this I thought “text stitch as in needlepoint?” And I was right. I’ve never heard of it being used in cross stitch unless it was for a half stitch. Very clever.
Thanks!
That is a good Tutorial.
Thank you
Thank you...I just heard the term and wanted to see the meaning. You did such a great job of showing, explaining, and videoing.
I'm new so thank you for telling me to separate my strands. Now I know why my 4 strands looked so globby!
That's a surprisingly common one I hear, so you're not alone!
Thanks for showing this. Will this also prevent the warping of the fabric?
I was wondering why my stitches kept going horizontal or vertical when I was using 26ct! It was a very lovely fabric to use but the amount of fiddling I had to do even for full stitches. Thank you for explaining this! xx
It takes a lot of getting used to, but eventually you do reach a point where you start to find a good tension and stick with it.
That DnD button tho!!
That came from Portland Button Works. It comes as a pinback button, but I removed the pin and glued a magnet to it instead to make the needleminder. I give these things away to Patreon backers.
Better to see and understand them some of the others I’ve watched, glad to learn about using more thread I’m working on 11 count aida from a kit with three strands it isn’t covering well do I need to use more strands than they say and could it be done in tent Stich or is 11count Aida to big?
Sorry I missed this comment. Things get buried by TH-cam and shoved in weird places sometimes.
But yes, you need more strands for tent stitch. I typically recommend using twice as many as you would for a full stitch for good coverage.
I'd like to know if you're doing the stitches as a left hander or is it just personal preferences? Because I start my stitches going to the right first. I've been trying to figure this stitch for weeks though I've been doing needle point for more than 40 years. I absolutely love your loop knot. It's a clean start
Sorry I missed this comment. Things get buried by TH-cam and shoved in weird places sometimes.
I stitch both right- and left-handed, depending on what I'm doing. I tend to stitch left-handed on my stand, and right-handed when I'm holding something in a hoop. I'll also switch up which hand I use on a stand if I need to get a better angle or something. Being ambidextrous is helpful like that!
Oh I love your videos! This is a great tutorial, I really learned a lot. From how many counts would you use this technique? I use Aida or evenweave
Sorry I missed this comment. Things get buried by TH-cam and shoved in weird places sometimes.
I tend to use it on 22ct, because after that you start needing more strands for good coverage. I did tent on 14 count once, and needed six strands to make it look nice. Never again.
Thanks for answering. Very useful information, hugs from Argentina 🇦🇷😊
Thanks for this. I assume using this stitch on a project on which some ordinary cross stich has already been done would be too noticeable? Or is that a stupid question?! Thanks.
Hi Milesy--I have a question about tent stitching...I have started my first full coverage piece (4500 stitches of 213,600 currently done in the top left corner, completed in full cross)...I would like to now switch to tent stitch. I've been doing full cross, 2 strands on 18 count...can I switch now to tent and if so, would you suggest I do 3 strands of floss? Thanks so much!
What hoop do you use?
Going to be working on 22count for the first time using this stitch, ive previously used 2 strands on 25count will that be okay for 22?
Yeah, that's what I use. When you're working up close, you might think that there are coverage issues, but once you step away a few feet, it looks great.
What is the best way to keep your fabric from warping went you tent stitch a large piece? Im using 25 count evenweave
Practise maintaining good tension. Also, if you print out your patterns from PDFs, don't stitch all the way to the edge of the page. Try to do it in a zig-zag pattern, so the overlap isn't a straight line. If you're using a pattern reader, like Pattern Keeper or Markup, I tend to do cross country and go to the edge of a colour. You'll get rid of any straight lines that way.
For 25ct, two strands is more than enough for solid coverage with tent.
SPRINGTRAP PLUSHIE! I got one of those sitting on my bed, along with Golden Freddy and Shadow Freddy.
Sadly, Springtrap is all alone. Which may be for the best, all things considered...
@@MadXStitcher Good point.
How do you do the fancy loop start? Is that instead of a knot?
I've done a few tutorials on it.
Standard and three-strand: th-cam.com/video/wV1mKVXYwjI/w-d-xo.html
One-strand: th-cam.com/video/QhcdXvA_ZoQ/w-d-xo.html
@@MadXStitcher perfect thanks!
I’m 71 and can only stitch on 14-count. Is 4 strands enough for a Haed?
So you don't cross them
Nope. The point of tent stitch is you do half the work so it goes twice as fast. It’s great for big HAEDs and such
