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

Finally, someone who talks about that giant slot that won’t hold the end of the floss. Thank you and I’m subscribing right now. Lots of other good tips, also.

Don't change for rude people. I love your hair and your personality.

I'm glad you showed how to put the craft bands around the bobbins to hold them in place. I am doing it wrong which explains why it's not working 😅 I'm going to try your way tonight!

Oh my word, the idea of using the needle minder to hold back the fabric! Brilliant!!! I do love my Caterpillar Cross Stitch needle minders. They are so incredibly strong! I have discovered that one will hold my needle, my scissors, and my bobbin ring!

Thanks Ford! I ordered the same 1000 bobbins lol. Had to change them. Love all the tips!

[deeneely]

Love your video. However, some of us are allergic to latex so the hair won't work for me. So what I do is put scotch tape over the end and then use a small all purpose pair of scissors and make a small cut in the tape... narrowing the gap for the thread to go in to. Works like a charm for me

Very useful tips on the floss bobbins - storage and handling hacks are always welcome😊

[sherryzimmerman]

You are so calming to watch and full of some great tips…..

The elastic band idea was a good one! I have some hair ones my niece bought that are small that might work ;) after I get out work I'll try it & let you kmow!😊

[patriciacottrell]

I absolutely love the free check idea. Thank you so much for another great video.

[vallang]

As a tip in relation to your scissors fob, most craft stores have smaller "jump rings" or "split rings" in the jewelery making section. You could attach one of these between your scissors and your fob to make things more comfortable to work with.

Is there a sheet of stickers with the universal symbols, instead of the DMC stickers with the numbers?
