My grandmother held her thread the way you demonstrate. She taught my sister and my sister taught me and I taught my daughter in law. Great tutorial.

[@Begonia8of9]

P.S. Have you thought about doing some microcrochet earring tutorials? It's just a thought.

[@missxade]

Yes, earrings are on my very long to-do list!

[@MKPYRO312]

Thank you for this. I'm on my third hat and I still haven't figured out the right tension. I just redo stitched that are too tight or too loose. In other videos you can see some people moving their pinky or pointer finger but I couldn't figure out why or how because of the angles. I've tried many different ways of holding the yarn, hopefully this helps!

[@missxade]

Fingers crossed!

[@marys.9367]

Thank you, I'll definitely try this. I struggle with the technique of using my index finger for tension and holding with my middle finger and below, but this will be useful!

[@missxade]

I hope it helps! I tried different techniques over the years, but this one gives me the most control over tension.

The thumbnail for this video shows a beautiful blue and yellow pattren, is there a pattern avalible for this? Id even consider buying it. Thank you,love your work!

[@simplymadebyhand]

[@missxade]

Glad it helped!

[@Shari_A._]

Thank you. I'll give this a try. I've always struggled with tension.

[@missxade]

I hope it helps!

Wir haben das so ähnlich in der Grundschule gelernt. Ich hab den Faden aber ÜBER den 3 mittleren Fingern laufen, so fällt es mir leichter die Spannung immer gleich zu halten. Ist wohl alles Gewohnheit...

[@missxade]

Es gibt viele verschiedene Möglichkeiten, den Faden zu halten, und es kommt wirklich darauf an, was sich gut anfühlt. Ich habe eine ganz andere Methode gelernt, musste sie aber anpassen, als ich anfing, Miniaturen zu häkeln.

[@bambivona7982]

@@missxade ich bewundere deine Arbeit sehr! Ich glaub nicht, dass ich das könnte... 1. sind meine Augen grottenschlecht, 2. zittere ich wie ein Aal und 3. hätte ich im leben niemals die Geduld dazu 😅 aber ich schaue dir echt gerne dabei zu, wie du diese Mini-Meisterwerke machst😍

Are you using machine embroidery threads? Those cones look like the ones I use on my machine

[@missxade]

The manufacturer describes it as a multipurpose thread, so I'm sure it could be used for machine embroidery as well. It's a 30 wt mercerized cotton thread.

I have tried every way of holding yarn I have found on youtube, magazines and books, and I don't get in with any of them. Yarn sliding between my fingers irritates my skin after only a few seconds and I don't understand how the yarn flows when wrapped around a finger? Mine doesn't move at all, it just tighter until it cuts the blood flow of the finger!

[@missxade]

Oh, I can imagine how frustrating that can be. It did take me years to find the method that works best for me. Have you considered trying a yarn tension ring? I haven't personally used one, but I've seen some videos on CZcams, and it seems like a nifty tool that could help.

This is cool but when I got into the world of crochet I learned from my mom. Spoiler alert she is the most advanced crocheter I ever met! And that’s how I learned just imagine a dad throwing a there child into the pool to learn how to swim.
My mom literally called me over one day and it was just “ catch up with my pace from there” and strangely it worked.
