Wow that was a wonderful tutorial. Ive always been intimated with Royal Rows and you made it seem so easy to understand. Thanks, ive subscribed to you and have the bell on so ill get all your videos now.
It’s good to see how other people use the method and put their own spin on it. I started using it recently too and it’s made my stitching so much faster. I usually start working in the parked stitches from the bottom of the tower first so the other threads don’t get in my way. I also will park in the further towers/dungeons so I guess I’m a rebel too 😂
Rebels!!! That’s a good idea to start at the bottom with your parked threads! I might have to try that because they do get super cumbersome. I love seeing how people do things because you never know what you might learn!
I've been using the parking method for years, and never heard of royal rows. My scroll rod side extender bars are short because I prefer a work area no higher than about 8 inches. I will work each block of ten stitches to just about to the bottom scroll rod, and then move on to the next ten at the top and repeat until reaching the right side of the design. (I always start in the upper left corner.) Any floss to be worked below that bottom rod is pooled in place until I need them again after scrolling up to work the new rows. I have to give credit to a floss-tuber from Australia years ago who was generous enough to demonstrate how to park. She no longer creates content, and I can't recall her name now it's been so long. She saved my sanity because I could never get into the "cross country" method.
I tried the parking method which is very similar if not the same. But I feel like I didn’t know where to park or stop and royal rose helped with that. I feel like the best method is the one that works best for you! Definitely makes it feel less overwhelming, and I miscount all the time so cross country worries me!
Hi! I've just started cross stitching and I was wondering how you grid your fabric. I haven't felt confident enough to do that yet since I don't want to mess up.
I feel you! I have only gridded my own fabric once, and it was because I was halfway through it! You can purchase pre-gridded fabric from many websites. I like the zweigart brand, but I'm sure other brands have them too. My fav to order from is 123Stitch.com

Another interesting demo, thanks, Kelsey! ⚘️
Thank you! 😃
I never looked this method up because I didn’t know if it was rose or rows lol. Thanks for the great overview!
Haha! I thought it was rose for a while too! Hopefully it can help with those big stitches!

Hi. Carolyn is back under the name The Flosstube Stitcher. 😊
@@margaretbaker623 Thank you so much - yes, it was Carolyn who saved my sanity. I'm checking out her content to see what's new (well, new to me.)

Thanks for the overview. I have thought about doing RR for a while but have been putting it off. Think I might give it a go 😊
You are welcome! It feels pretty intimidating, but once you figure it out and make it work for your stitching it gets easier and more helpful!
Thanks
If you don’t mind, may we see the back and see how the parked threads are anchored.
I don’t mind at all! I’ll have to pull it out and make a short video!
