I have only just heard of pin stitch as a beginner just starting my third project. I saw one very short video by someone which was fine but this is amazing! Hugely informative and I LOVE the naughty pin stitch haha! Can't wait to try on my future my challenging projects. Off to find videos on evenweave and linen as I have two practice fabrics and they are SO small and not sure if I'll be able to do it! 😬😬😁😁👍👍

Oh man that looks super fun! Definitely plan on going next year! ❤

I love your suggestions - thanks Ford! Do you/anyone have any suggestions for “confetti” French knots? For example “snowflakes” on a Christmas scene.

Auto bang

Awww….I love the sweet little sweets from Nugget❣️ Thank you for another great tutorial!

This video is great, I’ve learned so much from you…..thank you! 🌸

Like this video and your pic on sweater cross stitch pattern and the back the stitches are clean.

How can I make my stitches look even and not bulky. I CANT RAILROAD WITH 3 STRANDS. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I always make sure my floss is not twisted. Any help, I sure would appreciate. Thank you Erma California

How come you don’t iron the pillow slip when you flip your picture over? It is damp

I have an iron but no ironing board. Did you use an ironing board or just the pillowcase and a table. The pillowcase is a good idea. I was thinking of using the top of my washing machine. I was going to use an ironing pad but it has quilting on it. So I want to use the pillowcase. Is it safe to just use a pillowcase on the table or washing machine? Thanks. Love your videos!

I'm going to have to trade in my terry cloth towel for a pillow case! I iron my pieces when they are dry, especially to iron out creases from the hoop and nurge hoop. I notice when I iron directly on my Aida cloth, it discolours the Aida. It then looks brown like I have scorched it. Thankfully this is only on the back, so I haven't ruined projects! Another great video, though! I find the videos informative and entertaining!

Lookout! The cross stitch police will be all over you for ironing on the right side of the fabric. Personally, I think whatever makes it pretty for you is the right way. How do you keep the nozzle on that spray glue from clogging? I love the stuff but find its unusable after the first couple of projects. Hi Nugget!

What are you washing them in? Why do you need to wash it? I am terrified the colors of the floss will run!

I am a fairly new cross stitcher. Your videos are so helpful and I am learning so much. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I wish you record when you lay down the proyect on the board

Thanks for another informative video. I want to do the sweater for Christmas this year.

Looks pretty and tidy but one issue is of storing remaining ends of threads after you complete work. I always preserve remaining floss for next work and only ziplock bags work in that way.

As always, wonderful tip. Thank you. I just finished my project and I have to wash it now, so this was perfect timing!!

What a helpful video! I’m making a bookmark for my son and the fabric has frayed so much that I ran out of room and can’t finish without losing the last two lines. I don’t know if I should just do my best to secure the fray and just finish without the last two lines on the right hand side or if I should start over? 😢

Thank you once again for a very informative and easy to follow video. I always learn something new from you!

How to grid linen

I didn’t know this, thank you. One thing I learned the hard way is, don’t put your thread in your mouth to thread it… I did this and have some tea stain on my project !

Thank you! Your videos are so helpful! I love your little parakeet! It looked like he/she was trying to take a mini-birdbath in your hand. What's his/her name? ❤

Just watched the previous video and will try using the lint roller to get the dust off. Thanks! What about yellow stains from age?

I just pulled out an old, framed piece which has dust on it. How strange to find this video made this morning!! Should I vacuum it before washing it as long as the attachment is clean? Or blow it with a can of pressurized air?

Thank you for this video. I have recently framed two projects without washing it first 😢 I use a gentle powder to wash projects (except for the framed last two). I dilute the powder in the water and double rinse to make sure no powder is left behind. I'm working on a large full coverage where the fabric is 3' x 2'. I have a small kitchen sink. Would it be okay to wash it in the bathtub if I first clean the bathtub really well?

Just wondering what diameter dowel you use? What are those things you use at the end of the dowels? Thank you

Could you also feature a way of washing for those of us who live in drought conditions and feel guilty wasting that much water? Also, what about using silk threads.

You've done metallic, variegated and satin. What about glow in the dark dmc thread for Halloween or spooky stitches? 👻

Thank you Ford for your method of washing a project. I'm finding that there are as many ways to wash a project as there are stitchers. I appreciate your no-fuss technique. It certainly leaves no excuse not to wash the project! You rock!

Wondering if you have any suggestions for brands of lights to purchase (and that work well) to illuminate my cross stitch project. My eyes aren't as young as they used to be when I started cross stitching many decades ago. Thanks!

Thank you for creating this short and helpful tutorial. Wall hangings are such a great way to display cross stitch and easy storage when they need to be put away. I have never seen the tip about the weighted cord but it’s great.

The stickers are superfluous. You can write directly onto the brown paper of the cards.

Where can I find this pattern

I can’t find the “Grandfather’s Clock” pattern on Etsy. Where may I find it? It is adorbs!

Awesome lesson. Thanks! I love the pattern! ♥️👍😁

Thank you so much for these very clear explanations 👍 I fear I won't use this technique though, since I could only imagine the waste of thread behind the fabric 🫣 But if one day I need to remember, I will definitely go back to your video. Thank you!!

I noticed your Aida cloth looks so soft . The Aida cloth I bought is very stiff . Why is that? Should I have washed it first?

Great tips ! Amazing video

Will a quilters knot work instead of the double knot?

Thank you for showing the loop method !

This was really helpful, have been stitching for 17 years after watching this video was finally able to stitch a French knot

Thank you for this!! I wanted to use a crochet thread for part of my piece for texture and make it kinda pop but it was not looking good with two strands. You're the first person who managed to actually explain the pinning part to me and I just anchored my thread, yay! 🎉

What happens about using handdyed fabric or floss in your projects? Can you still wash them?

Very helpful video! Do you know where you got the sticker labels from?

You forgot to mention some place to store your needles. They won’t stay firm, in the little slips they come in, for very long. Would be really nice to open your little stitch bag and all your needles slide out- great if you have kids and pets- experience tells me that. Imagine a vet visit at midnight because your puppy grabbed the needles before you did.

Does the felt make it too thick for a book to close nicely?
