Hi, Justine! You did a great floss tube!!! I loved looking at your projects, and your enthusiasm shines ! You can stitch on black material, which is something I haven't even caught the knack of, even on 14 count. Sigh... And you have great variety in your subjects!!! Keep up the good stitching!!! I will try to find floss tube #2 to see how you're getting along!

[@sarahussery5868]

You are a natural. I really enjoyed watching and listening to you. Since you love to talk about cross stitch, you picked the perfect place. And we love to hear you talk about cross stitch. ❤

[@BlackRibbonStitchStudio]

Welcome to Flosstube! I came over from Megastitches! I love stitching on black Aida too! Such a refreshing video where you talk about your love of cross stitch! 💝

[@theshakystitcher]

Awe thank you!

[@lilbitcrafty9176]

Congratulations 🎉 you did a great job! Your stitching is great I enjoyed your projects very much ❣️I look forward to more 😊

[@craftyv3750]

Hi J. I just came across your channel and loved your video. Very impressive that ur first project was on a black fabric which can be challenging. And I too have no family or friends that are cross stitchers. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@EleanorNeedlewoman]

You'd be surprised at how small a margin a good framer can work with. An inch is often enough, and even if it isn't in a particularly problemsome piece the framer might sew a strip of muslin to the margin to expand it. It won't show in the finished product. Enjoyed this good job.

[@EsmeraldaL]

Loved your flosstube!

[@kathywittman4306]

Nice job on your 1st floss tube. Love your projects.

[@andrea_can_2]

Great first video! I love finding bags of floss while thrifting. Your projects are so fun!

[@Thundergigglez]

Great first video! 🪡🧵☮️🌷

[@Pischina]

I just found this first episode today (and I'm still watching) but wanted to tell say you have a great channel!! I love that you are doing different patterns than I've been seeing from others. The ghost on a mushroom was so cute, and the Horrorflies is *gorgeous* - I hope you continue with it! You are really interesting and have definitely come to the right place to share all your stitching. I subscribed and can't wait to catch up on your episodes. I'm so happy for you that you found your people and your audience!

[@theshakystitcher]

Such kind words, thank you so much! It has been so validating to hear peoples feedback. -Bless you and have a great day!

[@thecassidyaudacity]

Great first flosstube video! Love your aesthetic and to see another modern stitcher. I’m so close to filming my first flosstube video too. Looking forward to seeing more of your video!!

[@theshakystitcher]

I will keep an eye out for your first flosstube! Thank you for the kind words

[@NDQuilter1]

Just spent a wet Sunday afternoon stitching and enjoying your WIP parade, have subscribed and looking forward to seeing more of your progress, take care Nic in New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@CornhuskerStateStitchers]

Welcome to the world of Flosstube! You did great! Terri

[@theshakystitcher]

Thank you!

[@marjoriemade]

welcome to flosstube!! i know you’re going to have the best time here. the community is so supportive and im so glad you’re joining! i really enjoyed seeing all of your wips and look forward to following along on the progress 💖✨🌸

[@theshakystitcher]

Thank you so much! I am excited to start this journey. It was nice to have an hour to talk all about cross stitch and not have peoples eyes glaze over 🤣

[@user-ot9wr2rr3r]

Great video you did an awesome job. Your stitching looks great 😊

[@theshakystitcher]

Thank you 💜❤️💜❤️💜

[@patsyday8767]

That was a great first flosstube video! I love your pattern choices. The banjo playing possum was one of the first ones I did when I got back into cross stitching about a year and a half ago. I know exactly what you mean about driving your family crazy with cross stitch talk. I don't have any friends who stitch either. I don't even have an LNS. I am 66 years old and live in Saint John , New Brunswick, Canada. Welcome to the flosstube community!

[@chrisb_stitch5791]

A very nice start.

[@theshakystitcher]

Thank you 😊

[@jensfiberweb]

Congrats on a lovely first video! I enjoyed seeing all your projects and I'm only a little embarrassed that you're already ahead of me on Away We Ride. 😅

[@theshakystitcher]

You are too sweet 💞 Thank you for your support!

[@teresaboyer284]

Hi Justine! You are so fun to watch! You did a great job! So glad you decided to make a flosstube. Your boyfriend did a great job with the alien floss drops- love them ! You have some really pretty projects underway. Your pink moths are so gorgeous. I really like your Horrorflies. If you aren’t feeling it right now just hang on to it. You might get back to it later. I love your Away we ride. I had to laugh when you said you would count everything from one point and then everything would be perfect! I’ve been doing this for years and I don’t think I’ve had one perfect project yet! Keep up the great work and I’ll look forward to your next flosstube! (and I adore Marjorie Made as well! She has some great projects!)

[@theshakystitcher]

Thank you! I am so excited to film the next one! You all have been very supportive and kind

[@DebbieBuckland]

i love your taste in patterns

[@StitchnBooks]

Such a fun wip parade! I love all your projects!

[@theshakystitcher]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@StitchingIsMyHappyPlace]

Your personality reminds me very much of early Jessie Marie from Jessie Marie Does Stuff. You did a great job on your first video. The Luna Moth piece, if the light pink still doesn't show up, cause with 1x1 the stitches can sometimes get lost, try that darker colour that is across the top of the wing.

[@theshakystitcher]

Great idea! I'm currently ripping out one of the wings because I miscounted:/ but I decided to fill in those empty stitches and I agree that darker color would look great!

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

Thank you so much for the kind words! So glad you've joined the Flosstube club. Very jealous you have access to a 3D printer! This video was very fun - can't wait to see more!

[@The.monogamous_cross.stitcher]

On the green house of oddities if you want to continue you it, but worried where you frogged to get rid of the look where you use a soft toothbrush to rub over the area and it should get rid of the black fibres 😊

[@theshakystitcher]

❤️❤️❤️ I never thought of that! Thank you so much 😊

[@tracywilby3522]

Hi Justine! Your enthusiasm is wonderful! Cross stitch is not just a hobby, it is a passion, and you have passion😊The Luna moth is beautiful, and I think the light pink in the negative space is a great idea. I’m looking forward to your next video 😃

[@theshakystitcher]

Thank you so much! I really needed to hear that about the negative space. I was feeling paralyzed moving forward with the project as I've never added anything to a pattern before.

[@tracywilby3522]

@@theshakystitcher sometimes half the fun is in changing a chart to suit yourself. Adding stitches or changing a colour can make the piece feel more personal. I used to just stick to the chart, now I will make changes. It’s fun! 😄

[@debbiduncan6082]

I think you are doing great. Did you know that your Aida has a name of the color on them?. I love what you are doing.you are much braver then I. I couldn’t talk to the camera or to the public. Your are doing such a good job. I learned how to cross stitch by watching u tube videos as well. My hats off to you and I also like Halloween witches and creepy patterns. Keep up the good work. I will definitely watch you again.

[@user-shirleygeraci702]

Welcome ! I understand your wanting to join flosstube . Nobody wants to hear about my stitching either so I needed an outlet. Good job.

[@theshakystitcher]

I'm excited to post an update!

[@pnwstitcher4108]

Welcome to Flosstube! Your wips are fun and joy to watch. You did a great job with your first video!

[@theshakystitcher]

I appreciate your comment! Thank you :)

[@katem1105]

You have enough room to complete your first project. No pressure. Just have fun.

[@theshakystitcher]

Thank you! I really like it and put so much work into it already that I wouldn't have wanted to start over

[@Stitchbystitchbystitch]

Congratulations on your first video! Loved seeing your wips and hearing a bit about your journey with stitching. I've only been cross stitching since January and have fallen totally in love, so I can identify with you! Looking forward to seeing you and your projects in a few weeks 🙂

[@sicksweetunder]

Not me watching an hour-long video on a hobby I don't have (yet). Can't wait to start though, so when you're being "annoying" about cross-stitch I can actually provide accurate feedback. (Sorry if I'm cramping your style by commenting. But I've known you for like 15yrs and I just love you a lot and am super stoked you found something you love so much. It was good seeing your face and hearing your voice. Miss you, or whatever. You did great and I'm gonna stalk the rest of your videos from now on 😘).

[@theshakystitcher]

I didn't think anyone I know would watch it 🤣 You are the only person in my life that hasn't recoiled at the word floss the moment I mentioned it! I appreciate you and miss your face! Thanks for the love and support @sicksweetunder

[@cshrock]

Great floss tube cant wait to see the next one

[@theshakystitcher]

Can't wait to post it! Thank you!

[@WendysWhimsicalStitches]

You did so well! Possum Song cracks me up. I've had the pattern for a long while, but haven't started and so it's good to see yours underway. Curious if you have essential tremor? Just wondering, my 14 year old daughter just seemed to develop it overnight within this past year. I'll be watching your next video. 😊

[@theshakystitcher]

You know, you are the second person to ask me if I have essential tremor and I had never heard of it before. Might need to go get checked out honestly. I've just dealt with the slight shakyness for years. Thank you for watching and I'll be back in two weeks! 😁

[@WendysWhimsicalStitches]

@@theshakystitcher I was told it usually runs in families, although we have no familiar history of it. Also, there's nothing that can be done for it. She was told to avoid caffeine and that physical therapy could help with some tasks. We've been waiting for 8 months to get into PT. She deals with it fine most days, but there are days she's shakier than others and she gets really frustrated trying to put on eyeliner. 🪡

[@thriftyArtiststitching]

Absolutely fabulous video. I’m so nervous to film one. But I do have an IG.
