    I love your trio of Halloween houses! They look so good stitched together. Do you have the total number of stitches for Mary Morgan's? I feel like the only way I can determine how much work anything is is seeing the total stitch count. Even though I can somewhat visualize width x height, I always end up being surprised at how long something actually takes 😅

    • @molliemcmaker

      I find them on CZcams, instagram, and the Facebook groups im in. But I recently found an instagram account that just posts all the stitch alongs, it’s called crossstitch_salendar. I’ve been meaning to mention that account on a flosstube. ❤️❤️

    @StitchinwLoo Před 14 dny

    Wow, all ur wips look great!!! The colors on Mary Morgan r stunning!!! I have about 17 wips currently (and more to start on deck lol). I used to be a monogamous stitcher til I fell down the rabbit hole of flosstube😂... I usually only work on 1 project a day; I recently attempted to do the "thread a day" w one of my wips, but I found myself going past that anyway. I'd finish that 1 thread and then I'd say well, there's only about 30 stitches left of that color in this area so lemme just finish that part up, and then I'd end up doing that and thensome...next thing I know I've been stitching on it for some time and now I'm out of time to work on my other plans. And I find it takes extra work to put the 1 project away, and get all set up for the next project, so I've just been working on 1 wip steadily for a few days and when I get bored of that I'll move onto another wip. I want to work on EVERYTHING 😂 but I noticed that when I touch too many things I don't see progress. Yea I may get 150 stitches on each of 3 projects, but it looks like more when I get 450 on 1 project if that makes sense lol. But who knows, 2 weeks from now my whole outlook could change I'm really bad at sticking to original plans I make for myself lolol Happy stitching! 🐈‍⬛🪡❤️

  • @thepetrifiedgardener3144

    Oh my goodness, I LOVE Philanthropic Pumpkin!!! I have been looking for that pattern EVERYWHERE! No wonder I can’t find it. I will live vicariously through you and get to see it come to life. Maybe one day I can get my hands on that pattern. I stitch on many different things in one session but it really depends on if I’m having trouble with keeping my interest on a project. So, I may pick up a project that I want to get some work on but if I find myself getting bored or frustrated then I will put it down and grab another one. However, if I pick up a project and I’m seriously enjoying myself then I will just work on that one until I pass out. Lol.

  • @jensfiberweb
    @jensfiberweb Před 19 dny

    Regarding stitching on multiple projects in one session, I do a mix of things. Sometimes I happily zoom along on one thing. Sometimes I hit a milestone or finish a motif and want to put it down, so I will switch. And sometimes the thing I thought I wanted to work on is bugging me for whatever reason so I will switch to something else. The only must have chart I've seen from the marketplace releases is the Sprouting Lupine design with the wolf. I think it will be a nice companion for The Unicorn's Garden!

    Ok, so what sewing machine do you use? My family took me to a dealer and I told them that I wanted to make bags (for myself and some friends only) and finish some at home projects like fixing clothes and making curtains etc. They put me in a Janome machine that made it through 3 Vinyl front bag before we started having problems. After many many trips to the dealer for troubleshooting, the Janome Tech (who was phoned in) told me that they put me in the wrong machine… I’m so mad. They won’t give me a full refund so I can get the correct machine. It’s a mess. So, I’m trying to see what machine people use who make bags similar to my style.

    • @molliemcmaker
      @molliemcmaker Před měsícem

      I have a Janome MC7700 that I bought 12 ish years ago (maybe? I don't really remember how long) and it works pretty well, I do have some trouble sometimes getting through many layers, but I also use my walking foot when sewing bags and that is super helpful, If your machine has a walking foot try that if you haven't already, or consider getting one if your machine doesn't have one if it is something you can add on. If I were to get a new machine, I would probably consider something like the Juki TL2010Q, but this only does straight stitch and nothing else, I know a lot of people who have these and love them.

    • @molliemcmaker
      @molliemcmaker Před měsícem

      I think it is 16 gauge, it’s the one with the yellow paper. I think I also bought one with the pink paper before too. I usually just feel it in the store, there is one that is super thin, I don’t use that one.

I also love the process of cross stitch which is why I have so many charts kitted and ready to go. I use WIPGO as a plan of what I would like to get done during the following month, so I fill that in after the numbers are pulled, it works well for me at this time.
