![5 Ways to Deal with a Single Cross Stitch [aka Confetti Cross Stitch]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dbSs4Ob19i8/mqdefault.jpg)
Both are necessary in every project I’ve ever done.
Yep same. 🙂
I was taught Danish method from my great grandma when I was little. My grandma does Danish and parks, while I cross country and it drives her bonkers that I bounce around. She get over it since I'm taking over the family tradition of every member having a cross stitched stocking for Christmas. Working on my first one now.
Ahahah that's an awesome story Korinne! As long as you're happy with how you're stitching, that's all that matters... 💕
I will actually use both methods in the same piece depending on how the colors line up. Once I realized that there was no right or wrong I just do whatever seems to make sense to me at the time.
Haha yes that's how I stitch too Vicki. I like it, then I'm flexible as to where I want to travel in the pattern depending on where the clusters of colour are! :)
Vicki Kolman I do the same thing. It varies depending on the stitches and how they are in the pattern. Lol
Yup, same here!
Haha !! Same here 😎
I have to show this video to a friend of mine. I learned to cross stitch when I was little. I always used the Danish method and had no idea there was anything else. But then I took a few decades long break. My friend of a few years has been cross stitching her whole life. She has won awards at local fairs and even a few national ones for her work. She and I got together for a stitching night. She was getting on my case: "why aren't all of your stitches going the same direction? You're doing it wrong!" I was trying to explain that some we half stitches and some were cross stitches that just didn't have their second leg yet. Of course, she was completely lost. Now that I've seen your video, I realize she was probably just used to the English method. She also parks and I cross country (also learned this from you!). I think we need you to come to all of our stitching nights to translate!
Ahahahhaa that sounds like fun Molly, do you have wine at your stitching nights too? 😀 😀 That's the good thing about stitching, there really aren't any "wrongs," just different ways of doing things. Like even keeping all the top stitch going the same direction isn't set in stone, some textile artists mix it up to create a neat texture on the surface. 🙂
I'm in Washington, so we have coffee and pound cake. I've done the different direction on water reflections before for texture. It just never occurred to me that not everyone goes all the way to the end of the section with their halves before coming back and doing the second halves...
Molly Kitti Haha yeah, it's always neat to learn different ways to do the same thing eh 😁
Yep!
I cross stitch all the time, which is my favorite hobby. I never realized that I was doing the danish method. I prefer it because it's faster that way and uses less thread plus the back looks neater and prettier too. I'm so used to doing it this way maybe because I like things neat and tidy. Thank you for showing us 2 different methods of cross stitching!
You're very welcome Emily! 😊
As a child (some 45 years ago, in the Netherlands) I was taught the Danish+sewing method and I've done that ever since. From right to left and bottom to top. However, if the pattern asks for it I use whatever it takes :)
I work cross -country, but in limited areas. Since watching a lot of videos in the past few weeks - I didn't know there were so many stitchers here on CZcams! - I learned a lot more, such as railroading. Parking is not for me, I discovered. Thank so much for your videos, I learned a lot!
I'm glad the videos have helped! There are so many ways to do things, it's all about finding out what works best for you. 🙂
I learned the English way so that is what I use. It seems that it is easier to take out mistakes using the English method. It must take a long time to take out a mistake in the Danish method.
Actually it's not too bad, the issue comes if you're mixing Danish and English, and you don't know where you "turned" to come back with the Danish method.. then unpicking gets quite tricky... 😊
This is so interesting as I was taught the Danish method and told to only do full crosses when I only had a few stitches in a certain place. I had no idea it was the Danish method, to be honest I didn't know there was an English or Danish method lol, I just thought it was the cross stitch method to go across and come back 😅
Glad it was helpful and educational! 🙂
I'm so glad I found this. My aunt told me I do it wrong, but I said it's fine it all looks the same! I use both types depending on what the pattern looks like too, doing the "cross country" method you mentioned (that I was unaware there was a name for lol). I'm glad I'm not doing it wrong!
Haha yes, there is no right or wrong Heather (although some people may disagree). Even the only main "rule" of keeping your top stitch going the same direction can be broken to create a neat textural effect, like when you rub velvet the wrong way and it looks like it's a different colour. 🙂
Tingyou 😊
Thank you for your video. I’ve been close to tears of frustration in starting my cross stitch but your clear instructions helped a lot. 👋👍
Awww I'm so glad it helped! ♥️
I do both of the methods. Thank you for sharing the difference between English and Danish methods!
You're very welcome Linda, I'm glad you found it useful! 😀
I'll try the danish method on my next crosstich project..! This video is very helpful!!
Glad it was helpful Anna! 🙂
Thabk you for the tutorial, i started cross stitching 2 days ago and now i tried danish stitching and i like it so much more
You're very welcome, glad it helped out! 😀
Dana, I am just starting my very first cross stitch project. I have been stymied on how to start stitching and your explanation about the English vs. the Danish method is just what I needed. The Danish method will work the best for this project. Thank you!
You're very welcome! You can use both methods, I always do a combination of both in all my projects. 🙂
Did not know there were two methods of cross stitch, glad I watch your videos-- one lives and learns. Thank you!
Haha you're very welcome Ann! :)
beautiful stitch and wonderful😍😍😍😘😘😘😘
Thank you for sharing im still new at beginning this again since childhood and so loving it. Thank you for all your tutorials they are so helpful Im a new fan. Hello from OHIO
Glad it's helpful Kelly! And heyyy from Victoria BC! 😊
I just started cross stitching and I've been using a mix of both! I tend to do the english method if I'm going vertically and i always (not knowingly) do the cross country method as well!
Ahaha it's always fun when you learn there are names for how you work, eh Peri! 🙂
I'm just beginning, and only doing practice swatches of stitching practice for now. Although I understand the practicality of the Danish, I'm finding the English method to be much easier for me, and especially when doing adjacent rows of stittching That's how I feel for now; who knows, it might chage sometime, ha ha!
Yep, it's all about what will work best for you (and you may find yourself switching in the middle of a project depending on where the stitches you're working on are). 😊
I prefer the english cross stich because i can align the stitches better in a line with the english, we are doing embroidery as part of our art course and this is the first time i have ever sewed in my life and i really like it..great video, i find your video easier than some of the other ones plus you have a nice voice so makes a difference :)
I'm glad you enjoyed the tutorial AJ! If you're using embroidery fabric then yes, the English method will be easier to keep everything aligned. If you use cross stitch fabric (Aida or linen/evenweave meant for cross stitch), then you can do either as the fabric already has all the holes aligned. Sounds like a cool art course, I did a four year art/craft program in New Zealand that had a lot of Polynesian influences, that was super cool. 🙂
I prefer the Danish method, but definitely do both in a single piece because I prefer to finish a color before moving to the next. I used the English method for those annoying, bouncing around the page confetti stitches.
Yeah same, I do a mix of both depending on where I am in a project. 😊
I use both methods. Love the video.
Awesome! Thank you Cathy! 🙂
I actually use both methods depending on the place I am on the pattern and where I have to go next. English method is what I use with big blocks of color, but in tight spaces or stitches further apart I use the Danish method. I hope that makes sense.
Haha yes that makes perfect sense Cheryl! I'm actually the exact opposite, but that's the great thing about stitching, you do it long enough you start to figure out what works best for you. :)
Great video! I had no idea that there were names to these different techniques!
Haha thanks Catharine! I didn't know either for quite a long time, when I found out I was like ooooohhh that's neat! 🙂
Haha thanks Catharine! I didn't know either for quite a long time, when I found out I was like ooooohhh that's neat! 🙂
The “English” method uses much more thread. :) 1.2x as much.
Haha good to know! :)
Thanks
No ot does not. It's the same. You're putting the exact same amount of thread into the material.
I use English more often than not, however, the current SAL I'm working on I'm using both. Before I asked you though in the email, I was worried that I was doing something wrong 😉 thanks so much for sharing this video with us!
Haha nope, you definitely weren't doing something wrong Michelle! 😃
I do a mix of both depending on the situation. :)
Same, it's handy being able to mix up how you work across a pattern. 😊
Thank you for the tutorial, I like the Danish style🥰👍
You’re very welcome Violetta! 😊
I do both depending on how the pattern goes. It pleases my brain to follow the pattern from one point and around. So at certain points, English works better and at certain points, Danish. But I didn't know they were called anything, so thanks for that!
Yep I do the same, I mix them both up depending on where I am in the pattern. 😊
Both my grandmothers as well as my mother have taught me the Danish method. ❤
Awwww, that's lovely, it's so nice when handcrafts get passed down from generation to generation. :D
Thank you, this video is very informative. I'm still a beginner and use a combination of these methods depending on my pattern. I personally prefer the Danish method.
So glad it helped Samantha! 😊
I do both, but with variegated f losses I do one stitch at a time to get the most of the variegation. With animals, I actually follow the muscle structure so I get a more realistic look.
Great idea with the animals, and yeah, variegated you kind of have to do them individually unless you don't mind the variegation looking a bit more random and mixed up. 😊
I actually use a combination of both methods. Typically I prefer the Danish method, but depending on what the pattern is doing, I tend to do a few stitches in the English method.
Yep same, I mix them up, depending on where I am in the pattern. :)
I usually use the Danish method thankyou for showing the English method
Haha you're very welcome! Happy stitching! 🙂
I like the danish and Thank you!
You're very welcome! 🙂
I was originally taught the english method by my aunt in 2005, and then started using the Danish method in 2007. Im comfortable with Danish method, but can use either one depending on the project i am working on.
Haha yeah I mix and match them, it depends on the particular section of a pattern I'm working on. And that's lovely you were taught by your aunt. 🙂
Thanks. If i may say, your videos are very helpful and are very inspiring
Awww thanks very much, I appreciate that 🙂❤
Peacock & Fig no problem :)
I use a cobinatin of both depending on the area to cover.
Yeah I do the same, mix and match depending on the area and my mood. 🙂
Thank you for educating me. I never knew I was doing the Danish and cross country method.
I'm trying out the sewing method but Aida is so stiff. I have a soft fabric I'm looking forward to trying.
Aida can be soft, but it depends on the quality -- a lot of Aida from big box craft stores have sizing in it, making it stiff, and the fabric might not be the best quality. I stitched a whole collection (my Spirited Animals collection) using Zweigart's 14 count Aida -- it was more expensive than say getting a roll of Aida from Michael's, but it was butter soft, so lovely to work with. And glad the tutorials are helping you learn new things Rebecca! 🙂
@@peacockandfig I normally use Wichelt or Zweigart, but the piece I referred to had the sparkle cotton/mylar blend thread run through (and I hand dyed it.) I'm having fun seeing the results of that. I lived in Spartanburg (a mill town) and had access to an outlet store so was fortunate to buy yardage very cheaply 40 years ago. Now I'm just using what I have on hand, 14, 16 & 18 count primarily.
Loving all the new designers and hand dyed floss. I enjoy making each piece my own! However, Flosstube is the bomb! Can't stop watching and learning! Thank you for taking the time to teach us! Never too old to learn something new ; )
So easy, so clear compared to other cross stitch tutorials. Thank you.
You're very welcome Diane, glad it helped! 😊❤️
The English method is also best for variegated thread.
Haha yes it is, I discuss that in a separate video on using variegated floss. 🙂
What is variegated thread 🤔
Multicolored thread
On Aida cloth, yeah, either method is fine. However, if you are stitching on linen, the Danish method can distort the threads in the linen, because it’s loosely woven. Each single diagonal pulls the threads, and the cumulative effect of the pulling distorts the right-angle of the linen’s threads. Especially if you do many lines at a time before crossing all the stitches, the second diagonal may not correct it. If you use the English method, this won’t happen.
Good tips! 🙂
Thank you and the washing machine would be a whole new level of scary !! Hahaha thank you for the "bending" tip :))
Haha you're very welcome Mirjam! :)
I didn't know these stiches had these names. I've been doing the Danish stitch, I've never really done the English way.
Haha yeah I mix and match them, depending on where I am in a project. 🙂
I use both depending on the pattern.
Me too, I mix and match. 🙂
I like the light
Haha thanks very much. :)
I too learned Danish method without realising and now, also after a break of decades, I want to start up again, love your videos, was wondering how many sts do you pull your thread under when you're at the end of your floss, if you don't mind me asking ? I took a class some time ago and learned to pull it under 12 sts 6 sts in each direction, I now am "scared" the sts will come undone, I stopped stitching but am determined to take it up again.. Great videos, thank you :)
Haha I don't actually have a set number of stitches I pull the floss under. Usually around 5 or so, but it depends where exactly I'm finishing my thread and how many stitches are around it. As long as your thread is under enough threads that if you say bent your fabric and the end won't pop out, that should be fine. I've heard of people putting their stitching in the washing machine, I'd be too scared to do that for fear the ends would all start to come out. As long as the threads seem secure, and you can go in two different directions as that locks it in more, you should be fine. 🙂
OMG! 😄 didn't know there were a danish method. Being dane and without knowing I've always cross stiched using "the danish method" the sewing way ... without a hoop/frame! My grandma was a great stitcher; she did big tablecloths with beautiful cross-stitching for herself, my mom and all of their friends. she was always sitting with needle and fabric - never using a hoop, never using a frame. And of course she taught me. However I've never stitched anything as big as a tablecloth but do remember that the technique she taught me did not include going vertically. Allways left to right. And if I had several single stitches going vertically she always made me finish them one by one going downwards. But times changes ... and it really was funny to watch a video with "a danish technique" 😄
Ahahahah that's hilarious Pernille! 😃 I've actually had a lot of people comment that they didn't know there were two versions, they thought they were just doing things the wrong way when they'd see a video showing the other method. Well I guess the old saying is true, you learn something new every day! 😃
Actually my grandma wasn't a modern, understanding teacher. You did not question her method! And if you did or suggested alternative ways she simply took the project materials away and the lesson was over! 😝 So I didn't 😇 ... Mostly. But now being 45 years old, having recently taken up cross stitching again and grandma being dead for several years I'm watching flosstube videos like a sponge! And my God Ive got much to learn. Pin stitch or loop method for starting (I can see grandma packing away the stuff already 😆), parking method, q-snaps, floor frames ...! I'm sucking it all up, planning a big investment and being a very bad girl! 😂😂
Ahahah sounds awesome! I've heard a lot of stories similar to yours, especially regarding how neat to keep the back. I think these days if you've found your way back to stitching, just do it however you want. It's meant to be relaxing, not a session in a Victorian schoolhouse. I'm sure your grandma would be horrified at the "I'm Fabulous" pattern I just released in my newest pattern collection. ;) peacockandfig.com/im-fabulous-cross-stitch-pattern/
Oh! Have to give it a look! ... If it's one of the subversive patterns you can be sure she would not like it 😊 I'm actually stitching a little piece from CrassCross at the moment called "Gunsmoke" ... for my husband, and that's not a grandma-approvable piece either 😂 crasscross.com
Ahahah niiice. And yes, it's a subversive one, it's the cheekiest of the whole Spirited Animals collection. You can see a trailer of the collection here on my channel -- czcams.com/video/Nn78ZhCDYpI/video.html 😃
I am just starting out and I use the English method. It's easier for me
Haha not a problem Ada! That's the great thing about stitching, you get to experiment and decide what works best for you. 🙂
Yes, the lighting is better.
Glad to hear it! 🙂
I use both methods. Which ever works best for the pattern. I did not know the proper names. TFS😊
Haha you're very welcome Christine! You learn something new every day eh. 🙂
Can you do the sewing method with the hoop attached?
Sort of, but you need to have quite loose tension of the fabric in the hoop so you can "bend" the fabric to do the sewing method. So that kind of defeats the point of using a hoop at all, which is to keep the fabric taut. 🙂
We do that in Sweden to 😊.
Haha awesome! :)
I have always used the Danish method (34 years cross-stitching), i didnt even know there was another way. I'm curious as to how the back looks with English, where with Danish the back is all straight lines.
You'll have to give it a go, I often alternate between the two methods (and I pay zero attention to what the back looks like, it's not important at all, I even have a whole tutorial just on that). 😊
@peacockandfig it's not important as a relaxing hobby, i agree. And for things i make for myself i dont pay attention. It's important when you enter it in the fair or put it to market though. That's why I asked.
I am Danish and unbeknownst to myself, I was taught the Danish sewing method. And we never have used hoops - to me stitching on a hoop seems like stitching takes a LOOONG time ...
Haha yeah, using a hoop isn't too bad, but definitely in hand is easier... 😊
I find the English method to be easier for keeping count of stitches. It's also easier on my eyes. I think I'll have to give the Danish method another try though
Yeah the English ones are definitely easier to see, but the Danish method is super handy for long runs of one colour. 🙂
I love seing your finger nails... up untill two weeks ago mine looked exactly the same 😍 I have always had long nails and never had any dificulty with anything, I can type, stitch, ... On 27th of March I started a new job and as I am now working in a kitchen, for hygine reasons I was asked to cut my nails. I can understand their reasoning and as I need the job I cut my nails. (They have been long since I was 6 years old and I am now 42... so I did it in two stages) I am having so many problems holding stuff, typing, stitching, ... And of course my finger tipps are so sensative that I have huge probleme touching hot stuff in the washing up kitchen. Also things that I could just do without tools as I used my nails are now getting complicated as I have lost all control.
I really miss my nails 😔 So seeing yours is like watching old videos of me stitching => Thank you❣️❣️❣️
Dawn Ramseier Ahahaha you're very welcome Dawn! I used to have to have mine very short on military training, you definitely can't have long nails as they'll break or get in the way. I like being able to wear them longer now. 😊
I like the neat back, so I prefer the Danish method. :)
Haha yep, whatever works for you Rebecca. That's the great thing about cross stitch, you can play and figure out what you like best. 🙂
I love your Peacock & Fig name. Thanks for your great teaching style, too. You are really good. :)
Haha thanks Rebecca! If you check out my about page (peacockandfig.com/about-dana), you'll see the full story of how that name came to be. And I'm glad you're enjoying the videos, happy stitching! :)
I do both
Me too, it depends on the project and where I am in the project. 🙂
@@peacockandfig same it just depends same where I am in my projects
I am self taught, meaning that I do my cross starting from the top left corner. Is it absolutely wrong? I learned later on the Danish style but I do the English as well. I am currently doing Cinderella’s Castle in Disneyland and most of the top is sky, but the castle itself is very complicated. I will try your style, see what happens. Thanks a lot.
Haha there is no right or wrong Lorena, just whatever works best for you. Experiment and try new things, and see what you like best. 🙂
I prefer to start in the center. Then work in quadrants counterclockwise from there. So I'll do the bottom right, top right, top left, bottom left.
There's no wrong way to do it, try it all different ways and see what YOU prefer!
Thank you for.sharing your video. Can you also please show how to back stitching? I'm having difficulty on back stitching coz.most of them are inbetween the holes and on the square. should i follow my pattern or poke from hole to hole. wish i can show u my pattern but i dont know.how.
Hi Rogelyn! It sounds like you probably already know how to do the stitch, here's my tutorial video on backstitch -- czcams.com/video/0tAc9CGvaw4/video.html. What is probably happening is your pattern maybe has fractional stitches, so the backstitch sometimes ends up in the middle of an Aida block, etc to give more finer detail. If you're stitching on linen (like instead of 14 count Aida, using 28 count linen and stitching over 2 blocks instead of one), then the backstitch lines make perfect sense as they're following the holes on the finer linen. But honestly, if you're using Aida for your pattern, what I'd do is not worry about getting the placement of the stitches exactly as the pattern shows, just get the lines close enough (using the holes in the Aida). If it's a detailed area like a face or whiskers, then you could use a sharper needle and backstitch through the centre of the Aida blocks to get that extra precision and detail. Does that help, am I making sense? :)
Peacock & Fig Thank u so much Dana for.your response. I'm working on Aida 14 and my pattern is a cat, so much backstitch and it gives me so much headaches as well, hahaha... I just started stitching few months ago after i quit for so many many years and this is my first project with sooooooo much back stitch.
Haha you can do it, just take breaks when needed, and using a sharper needle definitely helps when doing backstitch. :)
Peacock & Fig Yah, I set aside it first and move to a new pattern. But.have to finish.it later on, hahahha...Thank u again. 😊❤
Haha welcome! :)
Is there a name for stitching similar to Danish but going right to left rather than left to right?
It's not the direction that matters, it's that you're doing half the stitch one direction in a row (horizontal or vertical), and then coming back along the row to finish them. 🙂
Ma'am how to cross stitch line of last supper.. because I don't how to do...tnx so much
Hi Rosevie! Do you mean the da Vinci painting the Last Supper? I'm not sure I understand your question. 🙂
Hi wonder if you can help I am ok using cotton threads I have new project you had two choices cotton or silk threads I picked do silk.was so excited to try silk thread but I know it's not silk. I am having problems after problems I asked the seller time after time is it silk ? ,I want know what is cross-stitch is show cross or just fil Square please help thanks
I can't help you with the seller unfortunately, unless you purchase through a reputable shop it can be easy to get goods that aren't what you though they were... 😭 As for cross stitch, it's literally a cross as a stitch (thus the name), it's the X shape. You're supposed to be able to see the X if you look closely at a project, so it's not just filling the grid square. The X gives a lot of pretty texture to the project, but if you use too many strands for your fabric thread count, you're going to end up with more of a blocky lump than an X. Hope that helps! 😊
Both methods are easy
Haha yes they are, I use them interchangeably depending on the section of pattern I'm working on. 🙂
What count of aida is the one you are working with
I usually use 14 count for my tutorials Caroline, unless I'm teaching about linen or evenweave. 🙂
If the thread is multi shaded which one is gud....i felt like did danish method nd cross stich doesnt seems as a cross but only a half stitch
Hi Annie, if you're using full crosses, then use the English method, otherwise the colour variations will look odd. Here's a tutorial I did just on using variegated threads -- peacockandfig.com/2017/07/color-variations-thread-using-variegated-floss-like-coloris/ 🙂
Thank u so much. Yeah it really luks odd. I will remove it
Glad it helped Annie! :)
both ARE EASY
Haha yes they are Dibyendu, thanks for watching! 🙂
I have always done the 'Danish' method except if I only have one stitch of course. I am from England. . . must have some Danish blood in me lol
Ahahah you must do. 😂
I'm not Danish or English. Do I need to alter my technique?
Yes you do need to alter your technique, if you're neither Danish nor English you need to stop stitching entirely sorry, that's the way the rules work.... nice "anonymous person" account name, nice way to hide behind comments...
Doesn't the English method consume a lot more thread?
I don't know, I've never measured it. 😊 Floss is so inexpensive (compared to the cost of materials for other crafts), worrying about a few cents of floss to me just negates the point of stitching, to relax. 😊
@@peacockandfig With quick mats its about 20% more per cross stitch
It consumes more, and when working with a kit, it can make a difference between having enough or having to supplement the kit with more floss.
I use both actually, funny because I didn't even know the methods had names.
Haha yeah, I didn't know that at first either, it's neat learning random little facts like that. :)
I do the Danish method but I've always gone right to left.
Whatever's easier for you Knella, there are no rules 🙂
I always do the danish stich, I just tough the english one would be kind of cheating.
No such thing as cheating, they're both actual ways of forming your stitches. Sometimes you have to do the English method for what's called confetti -- lots of scattered individual stitches in a variety of colours, so you don't have chunks of any one colour. 🙂
I'm English but use the Danish method as it seems more natural lol
Ahahah that's funny, as long as it works for you then that's the most important thing. 🙂
I don’t even know the name of the method 😂😂😂
Most people don't know the names, or even that there are two "methods" to forming a stitch. 😊
fingernails are so odd---
Or you could focus on what I'm teaching, for free, to help you learn, but you do you boo...
