@adrienneroberts thanks so much. I've had a split back seam on 2 separate occasions, would you believe! Once on the London Underground, and another time in a queue at an ice-cream shop in Henley In Arden. Surely these things should only happen to anyone once! Glad you enjoyed the video. 🤗

⁠@@featherstitchhouseoh my word - they are the kind of experiences you never forget - and you have certainly had more than your fair share of them!! Enjoy the rest of your holiday xx

Thanks so much. 🤗

@@dawnellreeves1774 thanks so much.. It is truly amazing here. Everything is stunning. I'm glad to share it with you, along with my travel tips. 🤗

@user-me3wt1rw9f thank you Vera. I really enjoyed making a video here. I hope I can make another to share later too. Glad you enjoyed the tips. I have a snippet roll video planned, so hopefully, that will get you started soon. 🤗

Thank you so much 😊

@carolcambie2245 I need some of those! How exciting that such things exist! I like the stitch family idea too, I'm worried I've made the sections too small though. I'll see what I think when I have appliquéd on the shapes. 🤗

@@lizhopewell0507 I'm glad you enjoyed my rummage through the magic pouch. I promise it all went in there! Thanks for watching. 🤗

@midge5921 What a great idea. Nail clippers didn't even occur to me! I'm loving hearing everyone's travel solutions. It's great to have options. Thanks for watching. Hopefully there will ge another Italy video soon. 🤗

Fishing nippers will work too.

Thanks so much. I'm glad you have found our little channel. CZcams doesn't always make it easy. I'm having a lovely time here in Italy. So glad to share it with you. 🤗

@@anitajansen5610 thank you. 😊

@amandahammond4601 thanks so much. I love the tree too. I love mixing techniques, but couching has a special place in my heart.

That's so kind. Thank you. I'm glad the video was useful. 🤗

@priya-jeevithaaram9045 thank you. This one was a lot of fun, and it's quite a talking point now the quilt is finished. Glad you like it 🤗

Thanks so much. It's my pleasure. The birds are my favourite part of the Garden Quilt. I'm glad you like them too.

That's very kind. Thank you, Liz. I'm looking forward to seeing your version. 🤗

That's great to hear. My hope always is to make it easy for everyone to have a go. I'm delighted that you are feeling inspired. 😊

Thanks so much. I think you might be right. I can get more now, when they run out. 🤗

It's my pleasure. Thanks for watching. I'm delighted you found the video helpful. Have fun with your stitch book. The possibilities are endless!

@Momabearsews thank you. You can get the template on my website featherstitchhouse.co.uk Look for Winging It 2023 in the shop. It's in there. I'll try to add a link.

@@elizabethamis9376 thank you for watching. Beads make EVERYTHING better! 🤗

@@rachelknight1064 thank you so much. We are having a wonderful time so far. Gelato galore! 🍨

@@user-tw5lg9kv1o 🤗 😊

@@luannianke8110 that's so kind. Thank you. 🤗

That's such a great idea. I only ever used interfacing for dressmaking, but I am discovering it's many secret uses. I'm so glad I have some in my stash. What weight do you use?

@@featherstitchhouse Mostly lightweight, but I have invested in a pack of medium weight. I haven't tried it yet though as it only arrived (via Amazon) today. 😆

@@rozwalters5812 I'll give it a whirl when I'm back in the UK, for definite.

Thanks so much. I'm really glad you are going to give it a try. Keep your eyes on those middle markers and you'll be set. 🤗

@@lindak7499 thanks so much. I love learning new ways of doing things. I will definitely watch. We all just know he way we learnt until someone shows us something different. Thanks for watching.

That is roughly how I do it, except no papers, I use iron-on interfacing, which I leave in the clamshells. I must check out the instructions for the apple core as that one defeated me.

@rozwalters5812 one for a future video perhaps?

Thank you. It's such a pretty shape.

@julielewis8646 thanks so much. I hope you give it a go. I had so much fun!

🤗

Thanks so much. I have loved this panel so much. I'm glad you like it too. 😊

So glad. Thanks for watching. 🤗

Totally! Sunshine, big skies and water... that will do for me. 🤗

I'm so glad. Thanks for watching. 🤗

Thanks so much. I'm glad it was helpful. Thanks to Moss Robinson, my junior school maths teacher for the string trick.

Thanks so much. I hope those videos are useful. Batik is so much fun. 🤗

That's so great to hear. I'm delighted that the video was useful. Enjoy playing with the stitches. 🤗

@katiajardine9363 same book. I never finished it so once we get to L, it will be all new. I'm glad you are enjoying the project. Thanks for watching. 🤗

@user-me3wt1rw9f thank you so much. Wishing you the very best too. One foot in front of the other and one step at a time into the new. 🤗

@user-yu3oz1ph4p thank you so much ☺️

Thanks for watching. These are great questions. I'm not sure whether there are rules. I think it's often a matter of comfort. Some stitches require both hands, and so it's best to work them in a way that doesn't force you to cross them over each other. Other times, it helps to work the stitch with the needle pointing in the direction of travel. I think mostly though, it's whatever works for you. I'm more of a "principles" person rather than rules - do whatever works for you. As for cross stitch... that's the legacy of my left-handed mum who taught me to sew. I also do blanket stitch backwards! I hope that takes the pressure off. Have fun, play with the stitches and find what works for you. Happy stitching. 🤗

@@featherstitchhouse Thank you Rebecca, that is great advice and now it all makes sense. lol

Thank you for watching. I LOVE knots. There's nothing better for creating texture!

Cast on stitch is so much fun! I hope you give it a try. Chinese Knot is a tricky one - it takes a bit of practice to get even stitches, but it looks fab when you get it right. Have fun playing. 🤗

My E page is pink. I hope you like the stitches for this one. Some of my all-time favourites are here! Do tag me if you post pics. I'd love to see your version.

@@featherstitchhouse I will post the A and B pages.

Thanks so much. I love the C stitches. Some of my all time favourites. There are tutorials to make the book. Check out the playlist tab.

@@featherstitchhouse I am already looking up the material to start this project

@@LuluThinking that's so kind. Thank you. Now I need to not wreck it with the stitching! 🤣
