Danielle, you just taught me what I will call a "game changer" for me!!! I loved how you showed how to knot and anchor thread!! I'm so excited to try this! Thank you so much! I have learned so much from watching your family..You are the BEST teacher!! Love you!! 😘😘

[@corbinlittle386]

Omg, thank you for making this!! Been trying to learn how to Victorian motto samplers and this was incredibly helpful

[@moosemom2010]

Awesome video as always! Never understood the waste knot until now. Thank you! ❤️

[@Jasmine-ur1sl]

Thank you, Danielle! Two years later, and your video is providing me with the encouragement I need to have a go at my first perforated paper project. Never even imagined that I could use a QSnap for it either! Thank you for this great tutorial.

[@starlastitcher3134]

Great video - your tutorial on the waste knot was the first one I've ever really understood! ;)

[@gloriaaguilar692]

Just bought a wood frame with thumb tacks all around. Wasn't positive what it was, but this was at the thrift store yesterday. Really only bought it for a needle minder that was on it. It was only $3.99. Now I'm going to use your method to make some ornaments. Thank you!

[@janetkingshott8965]

You make a great teacher, you have taught me so much. Hugh hugs to you xxxx

[@wendanik1]

Love to cross-stitch so am very interested in the perforated paper but have never seen this before. ❤️Thank you for showing this. ❤️

[@carolcheatham7114]

Another tutorial to go into my Stitcherista "How to file". I have a perforated paper kit that I have been putting off trying ~ with this tutorial ~ I'm ready! Thanks for the great tutorial. I agree with the other stitchers ~ your are a great teacher!

[@debragomezs5005]

What a cool trick to pull the knot through the front!! I love perforated paper!!

[@148kmartinez]

Thanks ! Hope things are well with you n your family. Take care of yourself

[@susandugan1742]

Excellent idea to use QSnap for perforated paper.

[@lindacraig5056]

Thanks for another great video Danielle. I have never stitched on paper. I have stitched on 14 count plastic canvas and liked that a lot.

[@mayolson2]

I love using the tacks. I purchased tacks from Amazon. I ordered them when you did one of your tutorials and what a difference in my fabric. Rowena below my post is correct. You are my dear lady , a very good teacher. I have enjoyed all of your tutorials. I have been reticent about using paper but for sure am going to give it a go ! Thanks............

[@yarnsnthreads]

Thank so much for another great video. I would never have thought to put the paper in a Qsnap. What a great idea. I have so far only used the small pieces in the Mill Hill kits. For those I have found that trimming off the rough edges helps a lot. Other wise my floss seems to always catch on the edges. So frustrating. Thanks again.

[@suzannemoffitt2368]

Excellent tutorial, I have never stitched on perforated paper.

[@gohogs3602]

Great video. Thanks. What I got to stitch on is like plastic canvas maybe. It's a new kit that's out with Mason jars with Christmas scenes on them. It's gonna be close to fit then all on there too. This will help me get a lot. Thanks again

[@mendyelliott9495]

I'm getting ready to start a Mill Hill kit and as always knew I'd find a tutorial from you! Thank you so much!

[@reverie8223]

Finally! Now I know how this cross stitching canvas is called! I love love love stitching on this and I’ll have to buy some more once I use it all up 🤭🙈

[@cathyb52480]

Believe it or not, I purchased perforated paper (8.5 x 11 sheets) and some patterns from a magazine (maybe Family Circle) way back in the early 1970's! I made several of the patterns and still have one that I did for my Grandmother of a harp and roses with a little saying. I would have been somewhere between 13 & 16 years old. Been stitching off and on ever since! These tips are really handy. Thank you!

[@ruthiedurbin1395]

Thanks for this video! Very helpful to me. I didn’t know about the knot method!

[@belindacantle2208]

Great video, thanks Danielle

[@EnlightenedFlamingo]

I've not yet tried perforated paper, but now I want to! Gonna have to find those mini stretcher bars, those are cool. That eye needle minder, though... Awesome! 👁️💜

[@TheBridgeBookclub]

As always, great info, thank you for your tutorials. I just order a few Hill Mills and I had never done one.😍😍😄❄️

[@TM-mu7gb]

I love the snot knot. Do you have a demonstration of the loop method? Great tutorial. Thanks.

[@phoenix08808]

Perfect timing for me, as I'm going to be starting a mill hill kit this weekend. Never thought to use my stretcher bars (that you enabled me to buy btw lol) but that makes perfect sense. My hands sometimes get sweaty because I'm scared to F certain projects up (sorry gross) and that would be a disaster with the paper! Def going with the 2 threads also. Thanks for sharing. Oh and that eye is creepily awesome.

[@NavyWife]

Do you have any videos on how to finish the back of an ornament stitched on paper? I have just si your channel so may have covered it. I need ideas on how to finish my cross stitch to turn into Christmas ornaments please.

[@Stitcherista]

I don't have any videos on that but you could cover the back with a piece of felt.

[@joanclarke5531]

Another good tutorial to add to all the others. I tried stitching on paper once, didn't like it, the paper split in between the holes making it impossible to hold the thread. I'll try it again using the wooden stretcher bars, those I really like for the light weight, ease of handling.

[@Stitcherista]

Joan Clarke maybe you used too big of a needle?

[@daniellesdazzlindogs]

Thanks for this video

[@tammybunge5615]

I have a question and you are awesome for always answering me... I WANT to keep a journal of my cross stitch items, what is the best pens to use that won't bleed? You are an awesome lady!!!

[@Stitcherista]

Tammy Bunge I am so sorry I am just seeing this!! I actually love my frixion erasable pens. I use those in my WIP tracker.

[@sharonhumphrey3205]

Hi! I hoping for your feedback. I tried my first Mill Hill Buttons & Beads and don’t enjoy the perforated paper. I tried the 2 stands because I love the loop method but didn’t like how the stitches looked. Then took it apart to try the 3 strands the pattern requested. Omg. I’m embarrassed…just terrible. Lol. So my question, would it look nice just using 14 ct Aida? I love the pattern and beads and just don’t want to give up. Looking for options. Thanks in advance. I know your busy but love your videos and you have taught me so much already.

[@Stitcherista]

Yes, you can absolutely use 14 count aida! You don't have to use the perforated paper. Don't give up! You can do it.

[@rowenaphilbeck1919]

Awesome video. I am in fact working on that paper making ornaments. Kind of different to work with but should be really cute. Thanks for the tips of starting out and doing larger pieces with the stretcher bars and tacks. Your a great teacher and I'm always going back to watch the videos again for a refresher.

[@dawno1475]

Great video! Thanks for the great information, I never understood why or how to use waste knots, you made this very easy to understand. I’ve never used perforated paper, what is it used for (I know you said you could use it on anything but I don’t understand why you would use it over fabric). Thanks

[@Stitcherista]

Dawn O all of the mill hill kits use perforated paper. It actually is good for ornaments, especially if they are shaped on things other than a square or rectangle. The paper is easy to cut out.

[@dawno1475]

Stitcherista thank you

[@tammybunge5615]

So are weeks dye works, gentle thread art, classic colorworks, are those considered overdyed threads? If so I've been using the loop method 😮😮😮

[@Stitcherista]

Tammy Bunge all of those are considered overdyed threads. But if you like the look, keep doing what you are doing.

[@jammiknox1339]

Can you piece two pieces of paper together without a seam?

[@Stitcherista]

I don't know.

[@bbymks5]

Wait...why are you supposed to complete a full stitch with over dyed thread vs doing a series of half stitches and then going back to finish them?

[@Stitcherista]

If you complete a full stitch when using overdyed thread you will see the variegation more than if you did a bunch of half stitches and then came back and completed the other half.

[@bbymks5]

@Stitcherista okay, that makes sense! Thank you!!

[@dennisbagley56]

Great video. I do have a question. I used perforated paper over red fabric and cross stiched my granddaughter's name in gold using a lettering pattern I found on pinterest. It is for the top piece on a quilted christmas stocking that I've made. I need to get the paper off so all that is seen is the stiching. I've soaked it and got the majority off, but I can't get it out from underneath the stiching. it is very visible. Any suggestions?

[@Stitcherista]

I have never done something like that before, but is there a way to very delicately cut away the paper underneath the stitches?

[@jennmarie8719]

Great video, I'm going to try the waste knot method on my next Mill Hill kit. Just wondering, how do you convert a regular cross stitch pattern to perforated paper and get the correct size? Is perforated paper, usually 14 count?

[@Stitcherista]

Yes perforated paper is 14 count.

[@GeminiDolly52951]

Do you ever stitch on perforated plastic 14ct?

[@Stitcherista]

I have not stitched on perforated plastic.

[@sheriek2777]

Yes, I do small Advent Calendar ornaments on perforated plastic.

[@lauraedson2443]

Ok so I have some Mary Englbrite kits. I kind of like the idea of perforated paper. Do you transfer the pattern? Or how do you center the pattern? Thank you!

[@Stitcherista]

I don't transfer the pattern. I just make sure I have about an inch or so border around the entire outside of the paper. Remember, the paper is only a 9 by 12 sheet. So you need to calculate to make sure your pattern will fit on it.

[@lauraedson2443]

Stitcherista so excited! Found some perforated paper today! Lol kind of nervous but going to give it a shot!

[@tmalin681]

The eye reminds me of the eye in the book for Hocus Pocus.

[@TM-mu7gb]

Next question. Does the perforated paper only come on 14 count? I’m not seeing anything else at 123stitch. And would you still something that called for 28 count on the 14? Thank you for your assistance.

[@Stitcherista]

Perforated paper only comes in 14 count. Actually, you can stitch any pattern on the paper, as long as it will fit. You don't have to pay any attention to whatever fabric they stitched it on. You go by the stitch count.

[@TM-mu7gb]

Stitcherista, thanks.

[@vwise7670]

Very nice tutorial! I have a question. Once the project is completed how do you cut the paper around the pattern? Is it best to cut one or two stitches away from pattern (outline of pattern)? Thanks!!!

[@Stitcherista]

V Wise I cut one stitch around the pattern. I am pretty sure that is what most patterns recommend.

[@Stitcherista]

V Wise I meant to say one stitch away. I cut one stitch away from the pattern if it is a shaped piece, like a Brookes books publishing design.

[@vwise7670]

Thank you...You are an inspiration .

[@jammiknox1339]

Do you always need to complete the x of the stitch when working with perforated paper?

[@Stitcherista]

No. I only complete the X when I am using overdyed threads.

[@jammiknox1339]

@@Stitcherista what's overdyed thread?

[@Stitcherista]

Floss made by companies like Weeks Dye Works, Gentle Arts Sampler Threads, where the thread is multicolored.

[@jammiknox1339]

Why can’t we perforate our own paper?

I wish there were more tutorials for left handed people, the tutorial was well done though.

This video of your has been stolen by someone going by hazarate who is posting it as their own. They have also stolen from Pricilla and Chelsea as well as Off the Grid Needlearts. You need to report them to KZbin. Leigh at Afton Farm.

[@OfftheGridNeedlearts]

Hey girlfriend - just a heads up that someone has taken a video of mine, yours and Pricilla and Chelsea and uploaded it onto their channel - check out hazarate flosstube - P and C reported them and I've left a comment asking for mine to be taken down. I'm trying to figure out how to report it, but the kids insist on doing Hallowe'en things so will get to it when I can.

[@Stitcherista]

Off the Grid Needlearts omg. Thanks for the heads up.

[@Stitcherista]

I just went through and filed a copyright infringement report.

[@OfftheGridNeedlearts]

ok thanks - it was Leigh - Afton Farm who alerted me, so a big thanks to her.

[@Stitcherista]

My video was just taken down off that channel, but I had to file a copyright infringement claim through KZbin, which took a few minutes, but I just did it an hour ago and my video has already been removed from the channel. So you should go and do the same and I'm sure your video will be taken down from that channel right away.
