I'm looking to start a new project that I think would look very nice in a small scale, but couldn't find fabric with a high enough count. This is exactly what I needed! Thank you!
Glad it helped Alyssa! 🙂
Great tutorial. Many thanks.
You're very welcome Lyn! 🙂
thank you for this. I am an Aida stitcher, but am planing a HAED start on 25ct evenweave 1 over 1. I had heard that one has to check that thread does not slide under fabric. Now I can come back to a tutorial that explains everything 😅
Awesome, good luck with that Dawn! 🙂
Amazing. Thanks
You're very welcome Rena! 😊
I'll think I'll stick with aida. I value my eyesight, linen and evenweave might cause me further problems with my vision. I have to wear glasses to help me see things more clearly from a distance. I don't want to have glasses to help me see from up close.
You don't need to wear glasses, you can get magnifying lights. They're super helpful for all stitching, not just super close work like one over one. 🙂
This was a good video. I am trying a miniature counted cross stitch & have taken my stitches out multiple times. It's hard!!
Glad it was helpful Laura, good luck with your project! 😊
Could you do 2 over 1 on evenweave?
In theory yes, but that's likely going to be hard as that's a lot of floss in a tiny space. One over one would be likely better, but it depends on the thread count of the fabric you're using. Two over two, definitely, many of my samples are stitched up like that. 😊
Dana, Why does it matter that you made the second stitch to the right? It seems like the process you followed would prevent the stitches from slipping under the top thread, and we DO have to travel back to the right after traveling to the left.
Because travelling to the left guarantees the stitches will be locked in place. You alternate which direction you're coming from for the second arm of the stitch, so that can pop out the previous stitch if you travel from left to right. 🙂You can try any way you want, but this is the way I learned to guarantee the stitches won't come out -- travelling right to left. 😊
Thank you Dana. Notice that you were using a ballpoint needle. Does that needle make a big difference? Less fraying? or...? Peace and love
I just find it way easier to use, it's more slender so there's less friction between the needle and the fabric (and easier for me to hold than a chunkier needle), and the ball tip really helps in the same way as the rounded tip of a tapestry needle. The needles used to be sold by a friend, but she's passed them on to Sullivan's who is now selling them. Plus they take foreeeverrr to tarnish, my hands are really acidic and I can normally tarnish a needle in a week, whereas these ones are German steel so it takes me months and months to even start to see a bit of wear in the finish (with daily use). 🙂
@@peacockandfig Thank you. I will buy next shopping trip. Love your patterns and website. Peace and love
If your stitching right to left, shouldn't it be top right to bottom left, to save the use of waisting the thread? Then when you come back, it would be top left to bottom right? I work left to right, just making my head wrap around this,,,lol. So I understand ;)
Hi Leah! No, you cannot do that, the stitches will come unlocked, you have to do it how I showed. Please don't worry about "wasting" thread, there's so much thread in a skein and it's so inexpensive, like literally it's 2 cents per metre of a single strand if a skein is $1 each... Totally not worth stressing about. 🙂
Is this the same for 22 ct hardanger?
Hardanger is a totally different stitching method, it doesn't use crosses but straight stitches. 😊
Does stitching over 2 on evenweave or linen require the same technique and attention? I'd like to try evenweave fabric for the first time but it looks quite complicated... just wondering, maybe over 2 is going to be easier? 🙈
I have a video about stitching over two, and no, you don't need to do it as specifically as I show in this video as you're going over two threads and not one. I usually stitch over two on linen, once you get the hang of it you'll likely really enjoy it. 🙂
@@peacockandfig thank you very much! I'll watch your video and give it a try (I mean stitching over 2, maybe on evenweave first) and see what happens =)
I am really enjoying your videos and also like the way you speak, it's so calming and relaxing!
If the pattern recommends 2 strands how would you do the stitch on evenweave? I'm trying 2 strands and it's not looking great 😞
Forgot to add it's 28 count evenweave
Yeah you don't use two strands -- you switch to one strand. Two strands is too much for making such tiny dense stitches. 😊
Great minds think a like, pulled the 2 strand and replaced with 1.. Going alot better.
Glad to know I'm not messing it up by reducing strands. 😁
Thanks for your quick response.
i tried evenweave for the first time today. i like stitching 1 over 1 but don’t like the results. tried 2 over 1 which was better. decided to stick with 2 over 2 because I want to see my stitches. after stitching on lugana. i don’t want to stitch on aida.
Glad you enjoyed working on evenweave, that's awesome! 🙂
Hola! Como se llama esa aguja? Gracias
Sorry I don't speak Spanish Lupe. ❤
@@peacockandfig She asked how the needle is called. :-)
Easy Guide Ball-Tip needle... they come in sizes 24, 26 and 28.
It’s hard to do over one on linen. I need strong glasses. I’ve haven’t had them slip but I’ve been really careful. And I wouldn’t pick a pattern that had a lot of over one. You need young eyes. I don’t do the “English” way if I can avoid it. It uses more thread and creates more bulk.
The linen is harder but really looks a lot better.
Yes it definitely helps having good eyesight on your own, but those magnifying lights you can buy are pretty amazing, they can help tremendously. My eyesight is 20/20, but even I use reading glasses to help with finer work (like over one which I don't do a lot of personally, or fine couching or embroidery like silk shading, etc). And I think some types of linen and evenweave tend to be more prone to the stitches slipping than others, depending on how tight the weave is. These techniques will work on any of them though, but if you can stitch "normally" and not have the stitches slip, then definitely do that. 🙂
You CAN stitch the “regular” way one over one. The trick is to not pull too tightly. Just like in any cross stitching on any fabric, the stitches should lay on the fabric, not be so tight they distort the warp and weft threads of the fabric. The tighter you pull, the more likely a stitch will slide into the fabric.
I don't know, I tried and my stitches slid, and I have really good tension on my stitching as I do so much of it for all my design samples (just one collection was about 300 hours of stitching). I have a feeling certain fabrics might be easier than others to stitch "normally," like if they're less silky then in theory the stitches should lock in place better. 😊
Peacock & Fig Might be. I stitch on only linen or 100% cottons. And... you do have to cross each stitch one at a time.
Sorry, but this just left me completely confused. Possibly if you make a mistake in filming, just re-film it? Thanks for trying.
Bahaha "thanks for trying"??? 😂 Clearly you've never tried filming anything before, even doing a short clip can easily take all day with prep, editing, uploading, etc. Sorry you didn't find it helpful, but many others have, so maybe you just need to watch it again. Or pay for a private tutor, this is a free tutorial, and it is accurate. So yeah, sorry it's not up to your standards of perfection but that's life eh....
@@peacockandfig GOSH. Why so angry?? I'm just saying if you didn't film what you meant to film, why post it? Hope your day gets better.
and the bad manicure was cringy
@@cabbott328 it is. However her ATTITUDE in her response is worse. Wow. "sorry it's not up to your standards of perfection' Whaaaaa??? She said the video was inaccurate on repeat. Whatever.
I wasn't trying to be hurtful, just telling her the video was very confusing. And it's true, I've never videoed and edited before, however if I attach my name to it and it has a long shelf life, I'd try to make it more accurate.
I'm sorry that was too confusing...
Just watch it again as many times as you need - the technique isn't intuitive, it seems backwards until you try it a few times. 😊
this was really confusing and then the explanation that she shouldn't have done what she showed made it even more confusing,.
so watch it again then. 😊 Lots of people are fine with it, and to be honest this is a free tutorial. You’re going to make mistakes when trying out a new technique, so consider it a lesson in how to fix your mistakes. Refilming wasn’t an option for me - sorry you found it confusing, but at least I did it and it does work out in the end. Just give it a try.
