    ABOUT ME:
    Thanks for visiting my channel, I hope you enjoyed the video! I founded Caterpillar Cross Stitch in 2015 when I tried desperately for months to find a modern baby sampler my mum could stitch for new baby Felicity that would fit in with her simple, contemporary nursery. I love cross stitch, running, baking fruit cakes, drinking gin, eating salted caramel ice cream and most crafts!
    See you soon and happy stitching! Sally x

    My favorite is the modified pin stitch. It looks neat on both sides.

    • @SonovaStitch

      It's a little difficult to master and I haven't had great luck with it on linen, but it's definitely a useful trick to have in your arsenal!

    Hey, Ford!
    Thanks for the great tips. I’m thinking that weaving with low-contrast floss and pin this high-contrast. I appreciate people who find humour in their daily lives.
    I haven’t x-stitched in decades-I’m a quilter-but I recently ordered a small kit of quilts on a clothesline. X-stitch will be great option for when I’m camping!
    I recently subscribed to this channel, but I’m going to subscribe to yours as well.
    🤖 “Danger! Danger! Will Robinson!” 😂🤣😂
    Thank you, and stay well!

      I definitely never go camping without a stitch to work on. A headlamp or book light can be very handy for that!

    Wonderful! Never understood how that isolated pin stitches work!!!
    Two additional thoughts...
    Replace these with beads secured by a thread color which you can carry. This adds additional dimension to the piece.
    Also, skip 'em!!!

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

    Hi Ford , another great video. Could you demo how to do confetti stitches on linen or evenweave fabric? Thank you

  • @dalmatink223
    @dalmatink223 Před 6 měsíci

    For the third method, modified pin/confetti stitch do you use a tapestry or sharp needle? Thanks.

  • @SWEETDFAN17
    @SWEETDFAN17 Před 5 měsíci

    For the modified pin stitch, should I use a 26 needle on 14 Aida cloth?

  • @solarwinds-
    @solarwinds- Před 6 měsíci

    Hey Ford, thanks for the demo. Do you work on even weave, one over one? Do you have starts and finishes for confetti stiches for those too? BTW where's Nugget?

  • @cswesman
    @cswesman Před 6 měsíci +3

    Love the channel! I’m relatively new to cross stitch (working through the cross stitch school bookmark project). One of my biggest sources of anxiety is knowing how long each thread of floss should last (how many half-stitches can be done before turning around and completing the stitches without running out of floss too soon). It may be a super noob question, but I have no one else to ask. Please help by addressing how you approach this!

    • @SonovaStitch
      @SonovaStitch Před 6 měsíci +1

      I feel like I mostly go based on instinct, but I'll see if I can suss out some tips!

    • @barbarahaynes-bi4hk
      @barbarahaynes-bi4hk Před 6 měsíci

      It's trial and error to start with! At first practise guessing when you will be halfway thru your length of thread , then after awhile you will find you can judge things quite nicely! 😊

    • @CaterpillarCrossStitch
      @CaterpillarCrossStitch  Před 4 měsíci

      A lot of our community members measure the thread against their forearm, up to their elbow.

  • @RedPandaHomebody
    @RedPandaHomebody Před 6 měsíci

    Does the pin stitch only work for very dark threads? It looks like it would be pretty noticeable if done with another color - like a bright red that would show just as much behind, seems like it would also show the pin stitch (or at least it would lay noticeably different than ones other stitches)? This has always been my concern about pin stitches in general.

    How do I handle these stitches when using called for 3 strands. I can't do a loop start so am stuck.

    • @SWEETDFAN17
      @SWEETDFAN17 Před 5 měsíci

      You can do a loop start with 3 stands.

    • @SWEETDFAN17
      @SWEETDFAN17 Před 5 měsíci

      Watch CCS video on 6 ways to start your thread. It's not Ford doing the video, but it's still really good! I sometimes use 3 strands and use the loop method

    Why not do a loop finish to lock the stitch?
