    Just an FYI - I've been embroidering for over 50 years and I actually have been stitching in this faster method, what you call the new age of stitching, for this whole time. And yes it is so much quicker to stitch this way instead of what we use to call it "the stab method", which is definitely very tedious and slow. My mom was quite a stitcher and she taught me this method from the start. Love it!! Glad you found this method and happy stitching!

    Wow, I've never seen this type of stitching before! I'm such a slow stitcher and it gets frustrating. I'm going to try this - thank you!

    One reason for the two ways of sewing is that the sewing through the fabric, in general, makes the stitches more even in tension, whereas sewing from the top is faster. When you do it faster, you have to watch that you keep your tension the same from one area to a different area, and the same when you stitch your half-stitches across a row versus down.

    Saw this method several months ago but the first time I tried it I became very confused but I'm trying again and you were a great teacher. Thank you for sharing

    The first tip blew my mind!!! Also, I'm right handed but I typically work left to right. I will try your way and see how it goes. Thanks for sharing!

    Thank you! This does help. I’ve been doing the halfstitch rows but the long way. I’ll give this a try tonight

    That is brilliant!!! I was taught to start in the middle and work out. But the stitching technique is a game changer.

    Holy moly!!! I can't tell you how super happy i am that i came accross this tutorial video. I've only ever cross stitched on weekends bc of the time it takes to work on even a simple piece. I had to plan to sit for hours on end in order complete a few rows. I will certainly practice this technique so i can make more stuff

    A bit disappointed that your new fast way is the way I always stitched. 😆 This is how we learned in school. Can’t imagine doing it any other way, but was hoping you had an even faster way. Thanks for the tutorial though, seems like it helped a lot of people! 😊
