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
Very helpful, thank you. Maybe next time you could use a dark coloured thread so we can see more clearly?
Yes absolutely x
Love the video. Very nice. I think it would be better if the thread color was darker so it would be easier to follow.
Thanks so much for watching and for your feedback, we will definitely keep this is mind for future videos ☺️
I am a new stitcher. This video answered questions I have wondered about in a clear, concise manner. Thank you.
That's great to hear, thanks so much for watching and for your feedback!
This is really useful information but only thing is it was really hard to see what she was doing white table with white q snap and fabric and really light thread 🪡 I could not see anything but really helpful information
Thank you. We’ve taken this feedback on board and made sure there’s more contrast on more recent videos 😀
the light was too bright to see the loop method stitches :'(
Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback. We will take this on board and improve for our next video : )
Thanks so much for this very good instruction video and your calm explanations, as i'm a total newbie in cross stitching. One tip i have: with a dark thread it will be better to see , what is made !
I agree about using a darker thread. I had a really hard time seeing and I'm brand new to cross stitch
I already know how to stitch but still watched the whole video 😂 fabulous job as always, CCS tutorials are always so methodical and explained really well.
Aw, thanks so much Beth - so happy you're enjoying our videos!
Very helpful video. I think I will try the loop method however please consider using a darker thread so it’s easier to see
Thank you for watching and for your feedback!
It would have been much easier to see if you had of used a much darker thread for demonstrating with. However, the information presented was very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you. We’ve taken this feedback on board and made sure there’s more contrast on more recent videos 😀
She should have used a darker floss color. You can't see the stitches.
I was just going to post the same comment.
Yeah I couldn't see anything that she was doing, the thread was too light and the background was too bright.
Just like some others, I’ve cross stitched
for some time. It’s so useful to be reminded of good practice. Thanks CCS for all the tips.
Definitely, so happy to hear you found the video helpful!
I’ve been stitching for a few years now and I didn’t know of the loop method to begin. I’m going to try that as it seems I would waste less thread than the way I begin now. Thanks for the tips 🙂
So helpful ♥️♥️♥️thank you! I am trying to learn all I can before my first caterpillar cross stitch kit arrives!
Thanks for watching, I hope you love your first CCS kit!
Really great video, I pass it to some friends that want to learn how to cross stitch. Thank you. Take care
Thank you for watching and sharing!
This is a great video. Could you do the stitching process with a darker thread on a short video? Struggling to see it clearly
Thank you for your feedback, we'll take it on board! :)

@@arianeccs6523 always a pleasure
Should have used darker color thread. It’s hard to c on video with light thread
Thanks for your feedback :)
Darker threat would have been better for me to see.
Enjoyed - Happy Stitching❣️
Thank you! 😊
Just a tip... please use a different colored thread, or cloth! This was very hard to see on video.
Thank you. We’ve taken this feedback on board and made sure there’s more contrast on more recent videos 😀
This would have been much more beneficial with a darker thread.. it was barely visible.
Of course, we will be sure to keep this in mind for future videos - thank you for your feedback! 😊
Love it
Thanks so much for watching Vania : )
Yeah I couldn't see anything that you were doing, the thread was too light and the background was too bright.
I'm so sorry, we really appreciate your feedback and we will definitely keep this in mind for future videos!
You should have used a darker thread for the demonstration . We can’t see the thread
Absolutely, thanks for the feedback. We actually have more recent beginner videos in which we use darker thread 😊
Great instruction but use a darker thread next time.
Thanks for your feedback!
Очень интересно!)
I wish this was bigger so I can see it. The thread could be darker on the fabric so you can actually see it.
Thank you for watching and for your feedback.
How can I stop the thread come off my needle when I am cross stitch thanks
Hi Grace, we recommend using the loop method. Find out more here czcams.com/video/GlgRC2PQAYs/video.html :)
I am learning haven't been long at this. Is there a special way to graph a back stitch design on graph paper?
Really needed a darker color.
Thank you for your feedback :)
Might have been better with a darker thread maybe...
Thank you for your feedback!
I wish you had used a darker color, its hard to see :(
Hi Lisa, thank you for your feedback. We'll take it into account for future videos :)
