Wow! I’m amazed at how quickly you stitch! I’ve been stitching for years but I didn’t realize how slow I am! I enjoy your videos very much!

[@RedsStitchery]

I stitch with two hands, I switched to it last year and it increased my speed a lot! Also saga app helps a lot :)

[@slim1one]

I am a slow stitcher as well. Have been pondering trying two-handed stitching.

[@Norie8311]

I like the larger gold frame for your Santa. You do amazing work. I think I need to go thrift store shopping!!

[@RedsStitchery]

Thrifting it’s so much fun! Some days there is nothing and some it’s full of treasures 😍

[@LesliesLakeLife]

I think the larger frame is best for your Santa stitch. You could always spray paint the frame a different color, but I like the gold.

[@RedsStitchery]

I think I prefer that one too it gives him more space in it! I think I’ll wait and may be I’ll be able to find something else, but if not I think that would be the one :)

[@lauriecarlson4672]

I really enjoy all your videos! Please keep making more! I look forward to them! I love the excitement and enthusiasm you have for Crossstitch! As for your Santa pattern with another name, I prefer the narrow frame because it makes Santa stand out! You SEE Santa much better than the wider frame. I love the gold color, I agree with you it highlights the ornaments in the tree! Stick with the gold! I hope this helps!

[@RedsStitchery]

I will! Thank you so much for spending your time with me 🥰 thank you for your vote on the frame! I think I’ll wait and see may be I can find something else, but both frames that I have will do if I will end up with no more choices 😊

[@laurenerual5836]

I really enjoy your videos! I got your scratch off game as a birthday present and I am saving it for after Christmas, to cheer me up when it is dark and cold!

[@RedsStitchery]

Oh I’m so happy! Hope you going to love it! Happy stitching ☺️

[@Cozyxstitch]

So many treasures found at the thrift store!! 😍 I love watching your videos while I'm stitching 🧡

[@RedsStitchery]

Thank you so so much for spending your stitchy time with me! 🥰

[@LaLaniJames]

I loved your video Katie. I love your finish on Singing Robins.😊 I've gotten my kit but I haven't started it yet. I'm so excited for your scroll frame find and the fact that you already had the stitching frame is a bonus!!! I love your Santa finish. I wonder if a dark green frame color wouldn't be the perfect choice. I think it would make the whole picture look cozy and warm and the candles just glow. Maybe spray paint the wide gold frame? Ooh, what if you taped it off before painting, leaving a narrow inner border of gold. Just a thought.

[@RedsStitchery]

Thank you! Singing robins were so much fun to stitch! It’s very pleasant and enjoyable and I’m excited to start something else by magic needle :) Uuuuuu!!!! Dark green love that idea! I’m not in the hurry to frame it yet may be I’ll find something like this! But I love your idea!

[@candylovejoy9805]

When you role your fabric up on the scroll frame for your Nora Corbett Dragon, you may want to put a piece of felt on top of the beaded part so your beads don’t get crushed. I have that same lap stand and I fight it all the time!! I can never get it tight enough on one side to stop shifting down while I stitch. It’s funny that you said it works for you because it makes it comfortable to rest your hands while 2 handed stitching. I currently use it on a table but decided today I would move to my bed and see if the stand worked better. I love your projects. They are very pretty.

[@RedsStitchery]

Thank you for your tip, this time I was lucky and nothing got crushed, but next project I’ll be extra careful and use your felt tip! Yes stand is constantly moving and yes, same, only on one side, but I made it work😀 I’m not ready to invest in something big and professional so I made it work 😀

[@ashleybrink23]

I love your videos, I look forward to them every week! It was fun to see your thrift hauls this time along with all the stitch updates 🤩

[@RedsStitchery]

Thank you so much for spending your time with me 🥰

[@ninahobbysite]

Beautiful finishes. The bunny is so cute. I love the magic needle robins. Happy stitching

[@RedsStitchery]

Thank you ☺️

[@catheyok]

I like the larger wooden frame for your Santa. I have a book with that pattern in it. I LOVE it!! The gold frame enhances the colors in the stitching. It’s great!

[@RedsStitchery]

Omg! What is the name of the book? When I purchased pattern from eBay I didn’t pay attention and what I got is two pages with pattern turn out from somewhere 😀

[@StitchinwLoo]

Definetely the thicker frame 😊 Amazing finishes! Great haul, too...u cant beat anything for 25cents, but especially a TW! That cuttimg board deign key holder thing is a super cool find; will make a great ffo! Happy stitching 🐈‍⬛🪡❤️

[@RedsStitchery]

That’s what I said! Most of the time I find nothing, but that week finds were exceptional!🥰 happy stitching to you too ☺️

[@catheyok]

Your house looks gorgeous in the background. Beautiful staircase! I loved all of your projects! I love the Magic Needle Singing Robins. ❤ I received my second Riolis Easter Egg today. I have the Red Primrose kit and the Violets kit. I think you showed them either your first or second video. I hope they get the daffodils and snowdrops back in stock!! Thank you for showing them!!

[@RedsStitchery]

Oh yay! Yes same I’m waiting for the rest of them show up for sale hopefully 🤞🏻 your welcome! I’m dreaming to have them all in my collection but it’s almost impossible to find(

[@catheyok]

@@RedsStitchery I was going to warn you. I got a fraudulent text message saying my package was held up in customs. I was able to look at the tracking and see that my package was moving forward just fine.

[@stitchflow4219]

Hi Katie If you are intereed I think th bst framng video by far is Jean Farish Needleworks Flosstube #52. It is a long video but the framing advice starts at time 41:48. This video taught me and I think it is great. It is a big thing and brave to start doing one's own framing and Jean really makes sense of it all. I love your magic needle piece, I think it will be spectacular once framed. Hugs and with my appreciation Jo.

[@RedsStitchery]

Thank you so much! I’ll definitely check it out :)

[@sallyacevedo99]

Beautiful projects and stitching as always! I just love that table your projects on. I think the thicker frame looks better on Uncle Frost. Lovely video as usual! ♥️

[@RedsStitchery]

I discovered a small spot in my town, where they recycle all furniture! I knew I had to have that table :) I think so far thicker frame is for the win! But I’m not in the hurry, there is still time till Christmas may be I’ll find something else by then! Thank you for spending your time with me 🥰

[@StitchingSongSlinger]

By coincidence I’m doing a September start with a wine theme. I started the Mediterranean Santa Mill Hill kit Santa of wine, it’s a Xmas ornament, my first mill hill kit. And, I started using the nurge hoops, what a game changer, love this hoop! A big hug from NYC!

[@RedsStitchery]

Fun! How do you like your first mill hill so far? I need to finish my starts asap by them, because there is so many I want to start lol

[@StitchingSongSlinger]

Ah Uncle Xmas, how I wish you could do a mat for the frame… what a great job you did w it. Maybe a mat w the light grey and you could keep the gold frame.

[@RedsStitchery]

I still thinking about it, not in hurry may be I’ll take it to the frame shop or meh be I’ll find something else :)

[@marty9011]

Lovely finishes. I think the gold frame is fine for the Christmas piece, it looks great.

[@RedsStitchery]

Thank you ☺️

[@owlbestitching8839]

That Santa is very beautiful and elegant. Nice job!

[@RedsStitchery]

Thank you ☺️

[@michellekitson5405]

Hi Katie. You found so many lovely items at the thrift store. I am sure you will enjoy finding a use for them all. The Teresa Wentzler Stroke of Midnight looks so beautiful. I have this pattern as well and didn't realise there is alot of blends. I have had the pattern for many years and can't remember where I purchased it. I like the fabric you purchased as well. I like the gold frame for the santa holding the tree. Maybe put a thin red card border on the outside to bring out some red in the cross stitch too but up to you. All your cross stitch projects are looking lovely and I love the sparkle of the dragon wings Just stunning. Thankyou for the video.

[@RedsStitchery]

Blends and so so much petit stitch! Thank you for an idea about Santa frame I’ll see what I can do! Thank you so much for spending your time with me 😊

[@donnamccaffrey4364]

Beautiful finishes.

[@RedsStitchery]

Thank you ☺️

[@kathycary4798]

The larger frame looks best for the Santa.

[@RedsStitchery]

Thank you ☺️

[@annieann99]

For wool:acrylic I use thread magic thread conditioner. I had a Riolis kit and I didn’t care for the extra fuzz.

[@RedsStitchery]

I need to try it :)

[@darklittlepeople]

gorgeous father frost, i prefer it in the bigger frame :)

[@RedsStitchery]

Thank you!

[@donnamariecorrigan]

I like the thicker frame.

[@RedsStitchery]

I think I like that one more too :)

[@Lobirdie58]

I think you should use the gold frame. It matches the ornaments.

[@RedsStitchery]

Thank you ☺️
