I think my favorite right now is Halloween Tiny Town. It’s TOO cute!

These are beautiful Halloween designs Joanne! My favourite is the 'Halloween Window' by Les Petites. It's not part of your top ten, but it's really pretty (found it on your website).

Love your tutorial. It was very helpful. What I don’t understand is where to start your pattern. How do you where to start the design? Can you help me
@123Stitchdotcom3 күн бұрын
Thank you for your question! To start stitching, it’s always best to begin in the center of your fabric, whether you're using Aida, evenweave, or linen. You can find the center by folding the fabric in half lengthwise and widthwise, and where the folds meet will be your center square. The center of your pattern can be located by following the arrows provided. Hope that help.

Thank you for the video! I love the way you start your stitching! I will definitely try it. I'm still unclear why you marked three inches on one side of the fabric, if you could explain further. Keep the videos coming!
@123Stitchdotcom4 күн бұрын
Thank you for your kind words. When calculating my fabric size, I add 3 inches for my finishing. I almost always start on the left side at my top left border. By marking it, I know I have my 3-inch border on the left and top sides. I am pretty sure that piece will be square. Deborah

Very good beginner video. Folding the fabric like you did that shows the center so well will alao help if the stitcher wants to begin the project with the pattern's center

my last project I thought I would try gridding with frixon pens every 10 stitches, game changer! I often find that I make mistakes in counting and by gridding my fabric I have a secondary method to keep my project on track.

@123Stitchdotcom4 күн бұрын
Thank you for your kind words - The cardboard size will depend on the length of floss you are comfortable stitching with. Deborah

I have crossed stitched for years & was always taught to start in the middle.
@123Stitchdotcom6 күн бұрын
Starting in the middle is a good way to begin as well. It's just a matter of preference :)
@jylromain64396 күн бұрын
I start on the corner. For some reason, stitching in the middle first confuses me and I make mistakes.
@leisa1495Күн бұрын
Me as well, I learned more than 50 years ago from a master stitcher to always begin in the middle. Avoiding what could be a mess if you calculate wrong and start from a corner😮.

FYI: Using 1 long (18-35") floss strand, folded in half, threading the needle so the 2 loose ends hanging are shorter than the floss end with the loop in it is called "Using the Loop Method" to start the stitches. There is another method, that has no loop. With this floss style, it's best to, on the back, weave the threads under previously completed stitches, up to 5 stitches, then, using the threaded needle, push it up through the fabric in the starting hole, gently pull until the long tail end is just beginning to be pulled underneath those chosen 5 stitches... then begin your stitching. If there are no previous stitches completed, hold onto the tail on the back, start the first stitch up through the back to the front . Stich thr other half of the X [ if you are stitching a whole X, or move onto the nrxt hole, if you are stitching a half stitch.] Make certain your 2nd & future stitches are over the 2.5" tail on the back, until covered/secured by 5 stitches. When you finish that length (18") of floss, weave the needle, on the back under the last five stitches and pull the thread snugly. Trim the ends so they are even with the stitched floss. The Best Practice is to hold the Scissor blades parallel to the fabric and cut. Playing Thread Chicken, can cause stitches to be too tight, just to do.."1 more stitch", and in reality, does not look nice.

Can you recommend a good resource to use for teaching beginners to stitch in a homeschool co-op setting? I would like to teach them the history of cross-stitch, history of samplers, beginning to stitch, etc. These would be 4th grade up to possibly as high as high school seniors. Thank you in advance. 😊
@123Stitchdotcom7 күн бұрын
Thank you for your kind words. On 123Stitch.com, under the Calculators & Conversion tab, there is a tab called How To Cross Stitch. From a historical perspective, Mary Hickmott's "Cross-Stitch: The Ultimate Guide" offers a thorough history of cross-stitch and practical tips and patterns. It provides historical context and explains how cross-stitch evolved over the years. A good reference book would be The Proper Stitch: A Guide for Counted Thread by Darlene O'Steen Deborah
