Milesy: I have a question about the Light Effects DMC Thread.....I doing a Christmas full coverage and using for the most part the DMC cotton floss but my picture is that it has snow areas and I wanted your suggestion should I use the tent stitch with both the cotton and light effects using the loop start (the rest of the picture is full cross stitch) or should I attempt the light effects using the full cross? I hope this makes sense......thanks for any suggestions.

I’m finding your videos so helpful! Thank you for posting them.

[@Simunaya]

Thank you showing the different ways. Great tutorial.

I'm finding your second method helpful- but if it calls for a godl metallic thread, what regular DMC color floss would you blend with?

[@MadXStitcher]

The gold will have an E-number on it. There's a corresponding six-strand number that's more or less the same shade. The same is true for their satin line.

Whats a waist knot? It was hard to see as i thinknyou were out of camera

[@amandawilliams5050]

I tend to use it the first way, it drives me up the wall and it knots easier but it shines brighter or I use beads instead 😉

Guys, just use some glue on a stick instead of a "thread haven" whatever that is. Works too.

I use it to make friendship bracelets

[@MadXStitcher]

Oh I bet those were pretty!

[@susananderson4428]

I’m watching you stitch and I’m trying to figure it out hmmm

[@MadXStitcher]

A lot of it comes down to practise. Hopefully this can give you a starting point, but it's also one I'd like to re-do to expand a little better.
