- Hello all,
I have tried to explain how I use the app on my iPad to view and mark my PDF chart when stitching full coverage charts.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Thank you for watching and hanging out with me.
Come and say hi on Social Media:-

Thank you so much for doing this. It’s interesting to see others techniques.
Teresa; a while ago in 2022 I asked you how you are able to do such lovely full coverages and park your stitches. You were ever so kind and explained your method in a response to me. I did not understand how you could keep your thread colors straight. I was so impressed that you could keep them straight. Watching this video from 4 years ago enlightened me to the rest of the story. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to make this video. You are a precious indeed!
Thanks for this video. I purchased the app and find it a lot easier than others. This help me tremendously!
Wow! I haven’t cross stitched in about 20 years, and your video series is teaching me how to do things so much more easily than I used to. I think I’ll be cross stitching again and I’m so excited! Thank you for going through all the details. :)
Same..😀
Teresa, Thank you so much for explaining with a close up camera and the pattern. It is so helpful to watch you doing it as well as crossing out what you have done. Love!💕
Teresa, I had watched this flosstube awhile ago but I needed a refresher. Once again, thank you very much for your help.
Hi Theresa. I found this fascinating. I’ve done whole cloth stitching in the past, but had never done “parking”. Watching you do this with the app make so much sense. You demonstrated it so well. I used to colour in the actual paper pattern. So I guess I’ll have to convert to PDF if I ever make a complicated pattern again. Thanks for your expertise, and perfect speaking voice. 🇦🇺🇦🇺
I’ve never seen a starting stitch like that! I appreciate the effort you put in on this tutorial, it was really informative and I enjoyed watching the parking technique in action 👍🏻
you prolly dont care but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me
@Ari Xander Instablaster =)
@James Marshall I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out now.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@James Marshall It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D
@Ari Xander glad I could help :)
Hi Theresa,
I certainly enjoyed your video and will be trying your method of starting threads soon. I’ve watched many Flosstubes and think I will love most of the things about your parking. Thank you for taking your time to share this with us.

Thank you for your time and effort in making this video. I've never seen how people park threads before. Very informative. Thank you.
Thank you for demonstrating. Just got my first HAED and will be using GoodNotes for the first time. It all makes sense now. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your video. Parking stitches now make sense to me! Yay! I could watch you and listen to your sweet voice all day!
Absolutely fabulous video!! I love watching others stitch and your tutorial style was so easy to follow - thank you so much for making this!!
Hello Teresa, I am doing a Chris Ortega HAED, using the parking method, and I have learned something new about starting a new thread, I will be trying that method when I work on it again
Brilliant way of getting out knots... I’m new and get knots all the time
Thank you for your excellent video. I appreciate your clear directions for using Goodnotes and your stitching demonstrations.
Beautiful work! Your method of starting a thread is different, but the result is very neat. I loved watching you stitch your work, very organized. Your narrative was informative and easy to listen to. Thank you for all your time and effort in putting this together. I’m trying to figure out how to begin a project this detailed, and it seems overwhelming until I see videos like this. It takes a lot of confidence and courage to begin a project like yours.
Thank you for your lovely comment patty. If it helps I plan to do a mini series for beginner stitchers and beginners to full coverage how to stitch a full coverage from the start to the finish :)
Teresa that would be something I’d be interested in. I’d like to be able to stitch along with a detailed video and instructions. I’ll look forward to that. 😊
Thank you, thank you. I had downloaded GoodReader and hated it thinking it was the same as GoodNotes. After your video I realized my error. GoodNotes is so much easier to use. With your parking and GoodNotes tutorial you have changed my full coverage life. It’s so much more fun now!
Your videos are fabulous, Teresa! You are inspiring me to get back into cross stitch! ❤️
Thank-you for such an informative video! I really love that you shared the app: It looks very easy to use! And your version of the parking method is helpful!
Thank you for the excellent instructions with the demonstrations. You must be an instructor by profession. So organized and concise.
Awesome step by step with the ap and the HAED! Thank you for sharing. 🧵💜
Just watching some older videos to catch up,I've only found you 3 days ago. Im a self taught stitcher but have yet to do a full coverage and im so excited to start one and practice parking. Your videos have helped so much to take the fear away that I was having. Ive always loved bigger projects and discovering HAED etc has been amazing. Now to pick a smaller one im in love with. Looking forward to when you do flosstube videos again....until then my prayers are still with you and your family and I will watch your old ones. Stay safe
I don't have an iPad nor this app... but I enjoyed watching. OMG ! I have never seen a start with new thread like what you did ! ..........AND I LOVE IT !!!!! Gonna do it...ya ya, gonna do it now.... ty ! I use paper charts....with highlighter. I love paper charts. If I used an app... I would always worry about something going wrong with the electronics. What I do that I haven't seen anyone else do is..... With my copies, I tape all the pages together (from behind). I don't stop stitching at the edge of a page... it all runs together...hence helps not creating a line. Then I fold it into an 8 1/2 x 11 and attach to a clip board. This works for me and I love the process of getting ready to stitch just as much as stitching itself. I truly enjoyed your video.... you made everything look so easy. Thank you !
Thank you for your video. I now understand full coverage and the parking method. Love your videos, they are so well done and very clear. Thank you, thank you!
You have just revolutionized my full coverage stitching! I have been trying to find something I can use on my Mac and here it is! Thank you so much for this video tutorial Teresa. I must downloaded GoodNotes 5 and loaded my full coverage onto it. Wow! This is going to save me so much time printing and laminating all my pages! 😂✌❤
Hi! I'm late to the game here but I wanted to say thanks for showing how to start a new thread!! 😅
Teresa thank you for this demo. Excellent job.
Thank you Teresa for taking the time to make this video! The way you demonstrated using the GoodNotes app while you were stitching was excellent! It has opened the door to the possibility of working on a full coverage piece sometime down the road! Happy Stitching-
Thank you so much for sharing your stitching using the app. I was mesmerized. I learned so much from you today. Your technique is what I will try I think. Of starting from the left bottom, to top right, then bottom right to top left. I never considered a rhythmic stitch like that. It's not madness. It makes perfect sense on keeping track of all your threads. I also think I will start a haed because you made the stitching seem relaxing and fun.
This is giving me the courage to try .!You are precious. Great video. Just wonderful. Thank you so very.much😘
You are a fabulous teacher! Thank you!
So much information. Thank you! I think I have enough courage to “park”.
Hi Theresa. Loved this video! I work on HAED's also, but am always interested in watching other stitchers do their Haed's. Do more stitching videos? Yes, please!! Am anxious to see your 2 new starts. Love the lady in pinks!! My favorite color. 🌹🌸🐝
I also do my HAED patterns like this, but I use OneNote. The only thing I do differently is, I start with my bottom most parked thread in the 10X10 box so I don't have to work in between threads.
Thank you for sharing, I truly learned a lot! You've sold me, just in time because I have a full coverage piece I've started and it's been slow going. But thanks to you I've got a new passion for doing it! God Bless you! BTW: I pray your Mum is doing well.
Thank you so much for your wonderful and informative videos, I have watched all tutorials and I am getting the idea. I bought my first HAED and an anxious to start. Much love from across the pond!
Thank you so much for your videos on full coverage designs. This video on parking was so very helpful to me. I love how you color code the parked threads. That is so helpful to keep track of all the floss hanging. I feel I have a good understanding to try this. I may also use this method to try diagonal parking. Again thank you so much for your wonder videos.
Thank you so very much for the parking lesson. It really helped.
Hi Teresa really enjoyed your video and I learned so much from it never used the parking method before but will try it now thank you.😀😀
I found this video extremely helpful. I’m just thinking of this as a New hobby and you made that look like it is manageable. Thank you thank you thank you ❤️ ps I have just spent the last week binge watching every single one of your videos. ❤️❤️
Thanj you so so much for making this video, I have been trying to understand the parking method and how to do a haed and couldn’t until now haha
Brilliant! Thank you ❤️
Thank you, this was a great tutorial for the app!
Your mirabilia behind you is so beautiful Teresa.😍
Great video Teresa!!! Love the idea of GoodNotes! Thank you.
I loved this I do use paper for my HAED and use a pencil to mark off what I do I haven’t used parking method haven’t had courage but after this seems straightforward I was put off how to do a square if a thread was parked but you showed that, thankfully my HAED is two strands but I like how you start your strand going to remember that, your camera action was perfect thank you for this video
Hi, Sweetie! So happy to see you’re still stitching and on Flosstube!!! I’m just getting back to stitching after a two and a half year hiatus, which is the last time I stitched on my HAED. Thank you for this video! It’s the simplest example of using parking that I’ve watched. I downloaded the app to my iPad and am going to start stitching Faces of Faery 193 as soon as my fabric is delivered. It’ll be my practice run for using it on my supersized HAED. Happy stitching!
Welcome back from your hiatus! 😁
Thanks Teresa. I always like to watch someone else’s method of stitching. One tip that makes things easier when you move on to a lower square with parked threads is to lie all the threads upwards, and then work the bottom threads first. That way there are no threads in the way as you stitch. Like you I have learned so much from flosstube to make stitching easier. By the way I did notice there were two stitches right up at the top of the visible square you hadn’t stitched. Hope you don’t mind me mentioning, but it is so frustrating when you think you have finished, then find a couple of missed stitches.......guess how I know! Luckily mine wasn’t framed when I noticed! Lol!!
Lol thank you for you comment😉. Yes I know about the other missing stitches I was just being lazy before making the video and though I would start with a new 10x10 block without finishing the other one lol. The stitching bottom up doesn’t tend to work for me as I usually park the easiest way to count not the closest to the last stitch lol that always makes me have loads at the bottom and still a lot further up the square lol 😂. So funny how we all have our different ways 😉
Enjoyed your video. I am still using markers. Very helpful - gave me more options. Thank you for putting this video together and sharing.
Fabulous, thank you for your excellent video and instructions. So clear
Hi there - I really enjoyed this, thanks for recording and showing your methods.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much Teresa! that is pretty cool.
you are good!!! I never have tryed to start a stitch like you do... definitely i will =) Great explanation!
Teresa could you show us that do not know how to scan a paper pattern ,then get it on to good notes please ? You are a very lovely down to earth person ,and you explain very very well .
Love this video. It makes perfect sense. I'm not sure how to get paper patterns into the program. If I can figure that out I'm going to purchase this app.. Thank you for taking the mystery out of starting a thread, parking, and using an app.
Thank You......I needed this So Much!
Thanks Teresa! That was very informative. I’ve been wondering about these apps but honestly have been a little afraid of them. It looks a little touchy to keep from stitching over a parked thread. Scary! You did an excellent job! Thanks Teresa!!
Thank you, Teresa, for this very informative video. Very useful to me, as I am going to start soon my first ever HAED design, inspired by you (it is only crosses 😉). I orderd the design, I have got all the flosses, just trying to decide on the fabric. And now I have worked out my new PDF reading and marking app on my Android. It is called MetaMoji note. Works perfectly, had a good play with it. Thank you for teaching me, it is almost the same as your GoodNotes! Also definitely going to try your staggering parking method. Heaps of thanks! 🙏
Hi Teresa, I use good reader but this app you are using looks easier. Might have to give this one a go.
Thanks for sharing. Very interesting seeing how other stitchers stitch.
That was AWESOME. Thank you SO MUCH.
Thank you Teresa, very helpful 🌸
Just got the GoodNotes and absolutely love it, thanks to your tutorial. Just a note though, the latest version has different/extra icons. Can't upload a picture here to show though.
Starting a new thread: around 38:?? and 44:45. Will be trying that.
Thank you for a great video, love GoodNotes, I have just downloaded it. I have got to try how you start a new color it looks like a better way to start 🥰
I cant wait to try your starting stitch! It looks amazing. And i will be trying the parking method on my next project. I am doing black work right now. Dont think parking will be beneficial.. Love your videos!!!!
Great tutorial! Saved my life!
Hey Gina! Pleased it helped you 😃
So far your video has best explained the parking technique to me. A couple of questions though, 1. do you always work down and 2. Do you only work a certain amount of the 10x10 blocks at a given time? Also have you ever left needles on your parked threads? I think I’m ready to try this on my next WIP. Thank you!
Thank you !! This has helped so, so much.. I can try this now... After I do the 15 charts that are a head of this !! Lol lol. God willing next month, I'll be ordering the frames you use. I really like them !
Thank you so much for providing this video. I'm absolutely spellbound. I'm trying to stitch along with you on my pathetic little Quilter's Cottage but I haven't done a stitch. I'm so open mouthed, I think I'm even drooling!! Everything looks so much better magnified on this! LOLOL Wish I had a bigger monitor! hahaha Now I see how you can do all that confetti work. I certainly couldn't do it no matter how easy you make it look, But you are a very talented lady to take on these HAEDs, I've just also seen where you hung the rose lady ( I don't know what you call her but she's rose lady to me.) and it's perfect. So is the frame and matting, Well done, Teresa, well done!! Beautiful!! And THANK YOU for showing how you deal with those nasty knots!! They are a royal pain in the ass!! Have a great night, Teresa and one more time, Thank You!
Great video awesome presentation
Please can you explain how to put the purchased pattern from HAED to the GoodNotes app please. I’m not tech savvy, so sorry. Your videos are a wealth of knowledge 🙏🫶🏻
Thank you. I am just about to start a HAED, and so the way you start stitches is really interesting, I think I will give it a go. I have a Kindle and work with EZPDF, but it isn't as easy to use as GoodNotes I think. Consider me enabled to get an ipad. x
Thank you, was very interesting to see parking in detail. Not for me though I feel. I would be really interested to see how you bead as I have quite a few kits in stash with beading, but, my first attempt has scared me a little as I can’t get the beads to lie straight !
Which stylis do you use on your iPad please?
Wonderful, thank you. It would be so nice when highlighting a square it could highlight the whole square perfectly. It would be so much nicer on the chart. I purchase an iPad and waiting for it.
Hi Theresa , thank you for your very informative & helpful video. This probably is a very stupid question, but how do you get your charts into your iPad in the first place, in your notes app? I guess everyone knows this & that’s why you didn’t cover it, however I don’t. Your explanation on everything else was very clear & I guess the more you explore it, the easier it gets & the more you remember. Your parking demo was also very good, however it looks more than I could handle at the moment & I think I would totally get lost! 😂😂
I usually save my charts to Dropbox then export to goodnotes. I will see if I can do a video to explain. Also you can scan a paper chart the same way. Parking is not for everyone. You could always try just parking 2 threads and see how you get on it might make more sense to you if you try with only a couple of threads😉
Just a thought to simplify a little - when you get to your parked threads, if you start with the parked ones furthest right and furthest down, then you won’t need to move the other threads out of the way when you are stitching. Go me and simplifying! Xx
Loving your simplifying- you know how much I like it 😉
This is going to sound really silly but sometimes i feel like I’m the only stitcher to not Park threads. I know it’s useful, and people swear by it, but i just can’t deal with the threads popping through the front of my work, no matter how many times I’ve tried! Also can’t use frames, either! Very much prefer loose material to stitch with
Awesome video, very chill to watch! You’ve earned a subscriber! :D
Thank you zach! You are so not the only stitcher to not park threads 😉. It is all very much personal preference. I thank you for hanging out with me even if parking is not your thing.
Happy stitching flosstube friend
I wanted some information on the good notes thanks for a clear explanation.
Loved this video. First time I’ve seen the app and parking method where it finally made sense to me. Love the way you start your threads as well. To end them do you use the waste away method or what? Thanks for sharing your time with us.
Hi Karen to end the thread I just run under the existing stitching to secure
Thank you so much
If you use the shape tool with your highlighter it’ll do the lines straighter.
If you use fountain pen to Mark a line of where you park instead of having to change the highlighter colour.
You can also search a symbol in GoodNotes too. Use the 3 dotted symbol in the top right corner and you can paste the symbol you want to search for.
Hope that helps. 😁
You will have to explain that too me more lol so when I tap search I can’t tap the symbol??? Am I doing it wrong?
You need to highlight the symbol you want to search for first on the chart. Then go to the search and paste and it’ll highlight it. Some symbols may not work.
Copy that symbol before going to search lol.
Thank you! ⚾️
You're welcome!
Thank you so much. I just need to figure out how to get my Mira charts scanned
This video was a lot of work for you & I really appreciate it. I have never done a PDF pattern. Since I have never done so. I have a ?. Do you only buy the PDF & not a paper copy? If something happened to your computer would u lose the pattern?
Hey sandy! If I have a choice I will usually purchase a pdf only. I use Dropbox which is free to get the pdf on my device then export to goodnotes. This then means I have a working copy and a backup copy. Both goodnotes and Dropbox are sort of their own storage areas so if laptop or device breaks and I get a new one I just download the app and login with my own information and it is all still siting there for me so nothing is lost forever 😉
@@TeresaLittleStitcher Thanks so much for all the information. I have a kindle so I guess I will have to look for apps that work on it. I will figure it out with the help of my computer friends. They know more then I do. At least I know what I'm looking for with your help.
How do you get your pattern into the program you use. I find it very useful the way you explain things. Thank you.
Pattern Keeper and Mark-Up RXP both allow you to import charts either from a storage place like Dropbox or from pdf readers.Happy Stitching!
Hello how far have you got with alternative reality? It's so beautiful 😍 I really want this pattern but I'm not sure whether to get this one or the max colours, what do you think? Is it worth getting max colours? Your stitching looks so amazing
Hi there! Would you believe that I'm only 22.35% complete on alternative reality lol - not even half way after all this time, but I do switch out my projects a lot. I personally don't think it needs max colour as there are so many colour changes on the standard, but that said without stitching a max colour I couldn't tell you what a difference it will make other than even more colour changes lol (not for me I don't think) but all very personal preference. Happy Stitching!
What an awesome way to keep track of your place when there are many, many thread changes. I’m going to see if I can scan the Mirabelia I am working on into my laptop and see if I can get it into Dropbox and then Good Notes. I think I have read all the comments and I did not see anyone ask the question I have about parking your threads. When you park your threads on the front, are you leaving your needle on the thread and parking the needle with the thread on the top of your work or are you removing the thread from the needle and just leaving the thread on the top of your work? If you are removing the needle then you have to re-thread an awful lot. But if you are leaving the needle in the thread, then how do you move those parked threads out of your way so easily. It just looked like you were flipping them so easily from right to left. One other question; is your laptop a Mac or a Windows platform?
I'm not Teresa, but I am working on a HAED full-coverage piece after watching her very informative video series! I've never seen anyone leave their needle in the parked threads on the front of their project. The parked threads themselves are just sort of 'gathered' out of the way of where you're currently stitching until you make progress into the section where you've left (parked) them. Then you thread your needle for whichever color parked thread you want to start with, sew the next section of stitches till you either use up that thread or have to park it again further away, and so on.
I have seen people do all sorts of things with their parked threads to keep them out of their way... there are some silicone (?) spools that you can buy; some people wind their parked threads around those. I have also seen people braid the parked threads together to keep them from tangling. I use a cheap method that I saw somewhere online, which is to (carefully) gather them up and secure them with a metal barrette. The barrette either sticks to my (magnetic) needle minder out of my way, or I pin it up out of my way with a large straight. I have seen that some people park a LOT Of threads-- if they stitch across an entire row of their project at once, for example- I sew page by page and only park 5-10 threads at a time, personally, because I worry that they might get tangled up.
As Jennifer kindly informed below - I remove the needles and re-thread the colours as I go. It is still faster than ending and restarting threads all the time. I use a Windows computer
Hello Teresa. Another great vídeo!
I never used the parking method, but now I more encouraged to do it.
Can I Just mal e one question? The app is paid, right? How do you upload the chart to the app? Do you have to open it first in the pdf app? That's probably a stupid question, but I never worked with digital charts
I usually use my Dropbox which is free here in uk. I scan or save the pdf there first then I move to goodnotes. I do the same for paper charts- scan to Dropbox then to goodnotes - this also means I have a hard copy and a working copy at all times 😉
Dropbox is also free here in Portugal, but de Good notes app is paid. That's why I asked you.
Thank so much :)
I have been wanted to start a HAED but don’t know how to start. Thank you for this video. It helps a lot. I love how you use the app. How do you get the chart/ pattern in to the app?
Usually watch TV or floss tube
I just can’t make an app decision for my Samsung tablet. Do you have a clear preference for android now? I’m seriously technically challenged so been sticking with the chart and highlighter method. Thanks for the video and now I’m going to revisit and review your full coverage for beginners again .. Cheers! 😊
Hi There! I must confess for my full coverage pieces the pattern keeper on android is a total game changer. But everything else I put into Goodnotes and stay with Apple. I think it depends if you do a lot of full coverage or not.
Hi Theresa, I've been watching your videos for sometime now. I've watched this one several times. I would like to try the Good Note app but I see there are different versions. If you can tell me which version you are using I would greatly appreciate it? Love all you videos. You are an inspiration!!! Thank you for taking the time to share you talent!!
Thank you for your lovely message. It will depend on what device you are using - I am currently using 4.13.4 on my Ipad but there is a version 5 now out.
THANK YOU! I have an Ipad too. I think the GoodNote 4 will work with my software version. Thanks again. I look forward to your next video!!
How do you get a Mirabilia on Goodnotes. I would love to do that but haven’t even figured out how to make a working copy. They are so big and trying to figure out how to fold the darn thing to copy it is so difficult. I hVe thought about using erasable markers and just use the original
I usually fold original mirabilia chart to as big as the printer will copy and keep doing it all over so I have a number of pdfs then when in good notes I use the fountain pen and mark where it overlaps between pages so that I don’t stitch the same bit twice lol 😂
You are an excellent teacher. This is the best video on this subject that I have watched. It makes me believe I could actually park and work from Good Note. I also can’t wait to try your method of anchoring a thread. Can paper patterns be scanned into good note or do you have to purchase PDF version. Thanks again. You are lovely. You
Rosemary Sayers I frequently scan paper patterns and turn them into PDFs. Once they are PDFs I can use them in my good reader app. I assume the same is true for good note. (I’m not Teresa but figured I’d share)
Rosemary vicki is totally right you can scan a paper chart and load into good notes app I do this for my mirabilia charts😉
Hello sweetie,was watching your interesting video how to use the goodnotes app.How do you save the marked page? Thank you.
I have never seen the thread started quite like that but now I want to try it. I was wondering if you could show how you finish the thread. (Unless I missed it in this video somewhere in which case I apologize)
Hi vicki! I tend to end my thread in the usual boring manner and run behind other stitches on the back or if I can’t be bothered to flip the piece I just bring them up 20 spaces away, cut the ends short on the front, then as I stitch down it locks it in and I cut the tail from the front. Hope that makes sense 😉
👍🙏
I have only ever stitched from a paper pattern, is there any way I can put a paper pattern on to a tablet ?
Am I missing something or are you traveling with the threads quite a bit in order to park where you need to come up next? I love how you anchor your thread. I’m going to try that. It will definitely save me some time.
Hey Glynn I will travel around 300-400 stitches away if need be, but not much further than that usually 😉
