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 - Jak na to + styl
Hello! Thanks for watching this week's video. Next, check out the Hello Deer Christmas Stitch-a-Long FAQ video here: czcams.com/video/8cg2G--EVkY/video.html Thanks and see you soon, Sally x
Thanks for this video. I'm an experienced linen stitcher, but my philosophy is that you can always learn something newm and I did. Saved the video to watch again just in case I forgot something.
I will give linen another try. My eyes are not so great and it was very frustrating when I tried before. Steel city stitchers are always great to watch. Thank you for the tutorial.
Thanks ladies!!!! I am an aida stitcher but always wondered about stitching on linen!! With your explanation - it looks so much easier than I thought! I just might give it a try!
12/6/2020: Thank you. Aloha from Hawaii. Never stitched on LINEN or EVENWEAVE. This video was GREAT.
Thank you. Iâve been cross stitching on and off for 35 yrs but Iâve never stitch on linen or evenweave. Iâve been inspired by all the beautiful new to me fabrics Iâve seen since watching Flosstube. Wish me luck. âșïž đ
Thanks for sharing it us a big help I am so impressed love cross stitch thanks again
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much, you really took the anxiety out of learning how to cross stitch on linen and you showed me something new ... The pin stitch!
I love the steel city stitchers! Iâve recently started watching their CZcams and Iâve binge watched so many episodes of their floss tube đ
Thanks for watching. They often do guest tutor videos so please subscribe to see more soon!
Thanks ladies for showing this. I have always used Aida cloth for counted cross stitch since I taught myself 30 years ago.
This video tutorial is just fantastic and for me, the best tutorial for beginning linen stitching I have found. Thank you!! đ€
Thank you so much for watching, glad it was helpful! Happy stitching đž
Thank you for showing this! I would like for you to show more of the pin stitch. I've been trying to learn that.
I've only used 14 ct. Aida for 7 months. Thank you for this. So much easier than I imagined. Now I'm not afraid to try linen!
Thank you so much. You made this all so clear!! Bless you x
Thank you for watching! So pleased to hear this helped!
Getting ready to try stitching on linen so thanks for this. And my mind is blown by the loop method!! Definitely trying that too!
The pin stitch looks really easy. Thank you for the close up!
Thanks so much for this excellent video. I've never stitched on linen so this is a great introduction for me. I'm excited to go try it for myself!
Go for it, let us know how you get on!
I enjoyed this so much. Thank you.
Thank you for this video. I've been wanting to try even weave. I was very intimidated until I saw this video.
Hi SCS friends! Thanks for the tutorial. I am looking to venture from aida into evenweave-I feel like I am now becoming a grown-up stitcher.
Wow. What a great tutorial. Iâm new to cross stitch and have been using Aida fabrics. Iâve been intimidated by linen because of the little holes but donât enjoy the stiffness of Aida. Your explanation was clear and easy to understand. Thanks. Iâll be watching future FT.
Thank you so much! I have a linen bookmark kit and the pattern isnât done very well, so that didnât help. But after years of cross stitching, stitching large projects, I had never done anything on linen. Especially not a 28 ct. so thank you for demonstrating this!!
Thank You for sharing this .
I only do 14 ct Adia. Always want to do linen. That will be my next project
Have fun!
Thanks for Sharing!
You're welcome, thanks for watching Karen : )
Iâm so novice and this video was really helpful! Subscribing and joining your Facebook group đLooking forward to learning with you!
thank you
:) Thank you because I was stumped looking at my 25 count easy grid having only used Aida. đ
I am new to your program. Thank you so much for teaching the different counts on Linen. I have wanted to try linen, but was not sure if I could see the holes. I could see them on uour video. Now I know I can try it. Will you, or have you taught evenweave?
Can you show how to go to the next row of stitching on evenware, I think I have the first row understood so I want to know the next row.
What exact linen were you using in your demonstration? Some of the linens that I have tried to stitch on are very loosely woven so the fabric is very floppy and it makes it extremely difficult to get my stitches even. In addition, several of them have had woven threads that were pretty uneven making it difficult to figure out where to stitch so that the stitches are even and there were a lot of slubs throughout the fabric which again makes it difficult for a new linen stitcher to work with. In very short fashion I became extremely frustrated and overwhelmed with the whole idea of stitching on linen and gave up and went back to my tried and true 25 count lugana fabric. The fabric shown in the video looks more even and maybe a bit stiffer (i.e., similar to lugana) which might make it an easier fabric for someone new to linen or who at the very least is interested in trying it.
Help, I am an older person who doesnât see as good as I used to. What hints do you suggest to help me see better,mi have a magnifying, lighted lamp, and a magnifying thing that goes around my neck, can I get some suggestions that works for you. Thanking you in advance for your help. Jody
Hi, I enjoy all of the videos You do but I want to point out that when You say 1over 1 or 2over2 it actually means over 1thread or over 2 threads itâs not the holes that youâre going over! Thank You for Sharing!
do you use magnification ?
Itâs the more to get to another spot that gets me - not the one row of stitches - counting to stitch above or below on the chart omg the counting to get there - think Iâll just stay at 14 count
Thanks for watching đ
Hi. My pattern instructions donât indicate if I should do 2 over 2 or whatâŠso, I have no idea how to stitch on Dublin 25 count. Any suggestions? Iâm working on Bucilla project 41333 Hardanger House.
So your pin stitch start has your tail in the front?
Can and pattern for Aida be stitched on linen to make it smaller?
Yes it can. A higher count will make the pattern smaller or you can stitch over 1 instead of 2
@@caterpillarcarla6240 Thank you so very much for answering my question, I am looking forward to trying linens
what brand of fabric, is it jobelan or another brand?
how do you know what size needle to use with the different cloths?
Hi, thank you so much for watching! There is a general guide that size 24 needle is used for 14ct Aida or 28ct evenweave/linen; size 26 is used for 16ct Aida or 32ct evenweave/linen and size 28 is used for anything above 18ct Aida or 36ct evenweave/linen.
This is just a general guide though, some people prefer to use a smaller needle than recommended and some bigger. I'd recommend to try the smaller needles and see what suits you best!
Happy stitching đž
Marie
@@CaterpillarCrossStitch thank you for the reply and taking time out to answer my question
Do you grid linen or even weave?
Itâs personal choice, but you can if you want to yes đ
You donât use a hoop?
You donât have to đ
