{f a q} Frequently Asked Questions
What frame do you stitch on?
- I use a Millennium frame from NeedleNeeds in the U.K.

How do you film your videos?
- I use Final Cut Pro X (Mac) for filming and editing.

What are all of those threads hanging down from your HAED?

Hi Jessie Marie! Congrats on your beautiful finish of Fantasy SAL! Beautiful project bags. Thanks for sharing your progress! Some Q&A maybe you can address in future videos (for newbies and some of us that have been here a few years did you get started with cross stitching? How long have you been stitching? Why did you want to start a Flosstube? How many project bags do you have (alot....not enough....lol)? Of your finished projects, do you have a favorite? When you buy a chart, do you go ahead and kit it up or do you wait in case your taste in fabric/floss changes before you get to it (in case another piece of fabric catches your eye later....a way to build your stash....LOL). Have safe and fun travels!

[marroomycrafts]

Great catching up with you and all your beautiful projects
Such a beautiful finish for baby does stuff ❤
You are doing a great job with Mellow. I love your color choices and you are doing beautifully with the variegation 😊
I like the idea of green Fluff 🐲

Such a beautiful, sweet finish for Baby Does Stuff! 💜My offer still stands for frogging Touching the Autumn Sky if you are not up to it. (Alternatively, if you do restart instead of frogging, I will happily take the original off your hands because I have this pattern in my stash too. The fabric you chose makes it sing.)

Love your changes on Summertime Sunshine Sampler. 🌻💜 Hope to see this one back out sooner rather than later!

Awesome progress!! I can't wait to see the progress on your Chatelaine. The first one you were working on I LOVE how all of the colors blend into a rainbow and I love the cool tone colors of the one you will be working on next much. Can't wait to see the update video. Have an amazing fun trip this week!!!😊

[nicolemoller]

Thank you again for a great flosstube video! Love that tree house!

Love all of your WIPS - Your Project Bags are so beautiful. The Owl one is so beautiful.

Take Care & Happy Stitching

A amazing and beautiful finish. Happy stitching!

[OfftheGridNeedlearts]

Ooooo I felt you on that miscount and all of that WORK in the wrong spot. Huge bummer 😢 love all your wips and plans and hope you are having a great travel week!

[TheSeattleStitcher]

Ugh I would have been devastated too!

Your finish is so cute. Love the pattern.

[MandyParker]

Congrats on finishing Fantasy sal! Such a huge accomplishment.

[srenee]

Interesting discussion on variegated floss. Great finishes!

[sarahgreiner]

Yay on finishing Fantasy SAL.
I wonder if you could frog the hand and then fudge the rope instead of trying to frog the face?

[karinmonnich]

Love your finish and your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!

You should definitely upload on a consistent schedule so that the YouTube algorithm doesn't punish your channel by not recommending it. That's just a fact. So take the pressure off yourself with the FFO thing.
I feel like all my favorite FlossTubers begin each episode with, "it's been (x) weeks since I last posted", which sounds like the Catholic confession intro! Don't apologize! You're sharing free, fun content and we are all grateful for it.
Your projects are inspiring!

This is a great start to a Monday morning!!

[confessionsofaserialstitcher]

Great progress on some awesome pieces! We share a birthday month! My birthday is the 27th of April. That owl project bag is gorgeous. Excited to see which full coverage pieces you'll work on next month. Hope you & the family are doing well. Take care. Much love 💕

[swiftknits]

Do you have enough fabric at the bottom to leave the face and frog the leaves? Good luck!

[gailfisher]

Can you change the directions of the rope and hands, which would be easier to frog.

[angiefittro]

Soak crunchy fabric in woolite and cold water. Roll dry in a towel. Very carefully iron—no steam. It will be easier to handle.

What’s the checker board thing you do when you are doing blended 1 over 1? Skin I have a piece that needs it but no clue how to I am doing 40 ct 1 over 2
