I am incredibly impressed with your beautiful bags! What gorgeousness just in those alone. Your WIPS and stash are phenomenal….such gorgeous pieces and gorgeous flosses and fabrics and ideas. WOW! Color me inspired today. And you can do a drum….don’t let it intimidate you, and I have at least two tutorials that show you two different ways to accomplish them beautifully (if I do say so myself) I do teach very well and give all the tips and tricks I’ve learned in my finishing life. Wonderful first video…you’ll be a flosstube star in no time as you are young and vibrant and have great taste! Thank you so much for sharing your handwork with us!

[@makinitwithmichelle]

@@VonnaPfeiffer thanks Vonna!! Your tutorials were definitely going to be my first stop in making a drum😊😊 thanks for watching!💜💜

[@susanhaywardault3514]

I can empathise with your pain with the beading needle. I've bought some from amazon that open in the centre of the needle 🪡. Fab 1st flosstube 😊

[@makinitwithmichelle]

@@susanhaywardault3514 Hi Susan- I will have to go look those up, I’ve never heard of such a thing! Thanks for the info and for watching!!💜

[@DeeAZstitcher]

I still stitch on Aida, and Evenweave and Linen up to 40-ct. it all depends on the chart. It is hard to go back & forth from 2 to 1 strand and back. I use appx. a 16" length strand for my silks, and have a longer amount going through the eye, like a tail, so it doesn't come off my needle - - which is a "sharp size 10" needle as it will double as a small beading needle. Cute bags, fun charts, nice WIPs Good job of FT #1

[@makinitwithmichelle]

@@DeeAZstitcher hi Dee- Sometimes when I switch from 1 to two strands I forget and start stitching with one😂🤦🏼‍♀️ thanks for your tip on the beading needle- I will have to try that next time. Thanks for watching!💜

[@debrajohnson6774]

Good job on the video! Your cross stitches are beautiful. I am working on mighty oak also , I just finished the border -maybe I’ll stitch along with you!

[@makinitwithmichelle]

@@debrajohnson6774 Debra! I’d love to stitch Mighty Oak with you! I need to get mine back out. I love that dang border!!

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

Wow! So many fun WIPs! Some friends and I are starting the BBD Thy Love October 1st if you’d like to pull yours out and join!

[@makinitwithmichelle]

Thanks Kim!! I’ll have to definitely pull my out. Thanks for letting me know😊❤

[@FrenchyStitchy]

This may be my favorite flosstube in a long while! Your personality & humor are awesome. Pretty sure we should not sit at the same table at a retreat because we would be nonstop shenanigans 🤣 You have great projects and yes, show all the quilts too! I haven't had a chance to do a quilting retreat yet but I'm determined to do it in 2025. Good grief I had to pause & add a ton of things to my wish list - patterns, fabric, etc. This is SO not good 😂😂😂😂 I have never wanted to make my own project bags. EVER. And now I'm checking my charm packs 🤦‍♀

[@annastaz1]

Might speak louder or,get a mic? Nice floss tube though

[@makinitwithmichelle]

@@annastaz1 thanks Anna!! Ugh I did have one but I’ll work on the settings again next time. Thanks for the feedback and for watching!💜

[@cindygaudet1390]

Great first video! Love your stitching and projects. Hope you come back!

[@StitchStitchBead]

Hi, Michelle! Loved seeing all of your WIPs! Two notes that I actually remember as I watched this: I stitch with silk all the time and on high count and I don't bother with a beading needle. Too sharp and I find it much easier to use a 28 tapestry. But it's all personal preference. Also, I hate stopping and starting threads as well but sometimes confetti stitching is unavoidable SO if you stitch the few crosses with a given color then just pull that thread through to the front where you think you'll need it next then get on with the next color and so on you will eventually end up securing the threads on the back. You can also run the threads behind other stitches on the back where available. Hope this makes sense and helps a bit. Congrats on your video! 👏👏👏

[@Sneezy1956]

Loved your video.
