Loved this video. No gimmicks, no giveaways, no haul, just straightforwad conversation...Thank you thank you thank you. Your stitching was lovely. Hope to see you again and again. 🙂

Oh wow. Probably one of the very best Flosstubes I have ever seen. It isn't about haul or technique or anything else but just about comfort. It's about the joy of what we do. It's about the beauty and the color and the texture and the peace. It's about what we surround ourselves with as we create and make our world a little more lovely. Oh thank you. Please don't feel as though you must show extensive progress on something each time you film, just be here. And the poem at the end brought tears to my eyes.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who is grateful for the YouTube algorithm that sent your video my way. Congratulations on your first video, I can assure you it will be watched more than once!

[bhoomaaravamudan]

I heard about your floss tube just recently and started watching. Needless to say, I am hooked. Watching your videos is so soothing. Like others have mentioned, I just love your straightforward conversation. No promotions, no giveaways. I just love it. Thank you for your wonderful videos. Looking forward to the next one.

[AllyBelser]

Best first flosstube I’ve seen. Your comforting, conversational delivery was enjoyable. Your stitching is beautiful. I’m looking forward to your next video ❤

Your version of “Consider The Lilies” is absolutely beautiful!

[cindy_lou_loves_to_stitch]

Cross stitch sure has changed since the 80's!! Your, Consider the Lilies is so pretty!! How fun to personalize it!! I love your eyeglasses! 🤓 I enjoyed hearing your memories. I hope you make more videos! 🩷🧡

[AftonGroveKnitter]

I’ve truly enjoyed your FLOSSTUBE. Your voice is so soothing and calm.

[stitchroadie]

I am so grateful for having found you…I was watching your latest Flosstube and realized I needed to start the journey from the beginning. ❤

[Griffinand]

Thanks to Brenda and Laura, I was introduced to you today! Love, love, love your video and how comforting it is! Please stick to your style! Love it! You should be designing patterns for the rest of us!

[Jeanettelee]

Yes!!!! A monogamous stitcher!!! I only have two going at a time… many on my want to stitch list…. Please keep posting…. We need more flosstube from monogamous stitchers!!! I love to hear your deep dives about colors and selections… it may be the art teacher in me… enjoyed it!!!

[margaretyoder]

I am here after Karen Combs mentioned your new flosstube! Your finishes and current WIPs and plans are gorgeous! Don't worry about forcing content Jackie! Many of us are just fine having you check in with whatever you feel like sharing. When I have treasured time to stitch, I either listen to a book or watch floss tube.

[barbolivieri-soshesewsquil]

I loved Mary Engelbreit and Debbie Mumm designs! As a matter of fact, I'm sure I have fabrics from both in my stash! Looking forward to enjoying more of your videos!

[carolmott]

Your video is a breath of fresh air. Its nice to see none of the “stuff” other videos are full of any more where more than half is give aways and filler. Very little stitching. Looking forward to your next one. Your Lilies sampler is absolutely stunning.

[laviniatouchton]

Jackie, I just watched this today and so enjoyed it. Your on-camera style is lovely and approachable, and your stitching is gorgeous; your "Lilies" is really fabulous, and I love the thoughtful changes you made. Thank you for sharing your journey with us - I look forward to watching more!

[sbwgigstitcher]

Wow! This is probably one of the biggest splashes into Flosstube I've ever seen. 😃 Nearly 800 comments and over 3, 000 subscribers in one day on the first flosstube!! Welcome! Beautiful stitching. I also enjoy the calmness without the bells and whistles. I'll be watching for your next video. Thank you!

[janet_idleknot]

Fabulous first video! Thank you for sharing. Your “Consider the Lilies” is absolutely beautiful. I like to stitch reproductions so I don’t stray from the chart. I’ll enjoy watching the paths you take. I look forward to watching more of your videos and I appreciate your thoughtful approach to content.

[sandymckee]

I'm enjoying your calm voice. Thank you for your life story., omg that's beautiful and so much stitching. I love your grandma and grandpa

[cathyj]

I really enjoyed your floss tube! Your artist point of view is refreshing! I’ve been absent from Floss tube for months so glad this came up on my feed.
