How I start and stop my stitches - • Flosstube Episode 24: ...

[@kathymackie7326]

I started cross stitching many years ago but began quilting so my stitching was put to the sidelines. Once I discovered Floss Tube I’ve learnt so much with the tutorials and sharing of knowledge. This stitching community is like no other and it has reignited my love for this fibre craft. I discovered your channel while watching the gals from Stitching with the Sisterlies .

[@cyndimartinez524]

Great show as always. Utube recommended your channel and when I watched the recommended video I went back to bend watch all your flosstube videos🌷I am hooked🌷

[@carolb1224]

I was watching the sisterlies and they mentioned how great your flosstube channel was. I agree, you are a joy and thank you so much for taking time to post.

[@yasmeenakhtarkhan9442]

Omg 😮 what a beautiful gift 🎁 I found you on floss tube when I searched cross stitching floss tube videos and I see one of ur videos I then binged watched all ur videos and ever since I stayed tuned 😂🤣😂😍🥰

[@emilydegraaf9450]

Congrats on reaching 2000!! Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, Rika! I found your channel when I first discovered flosstube...KZbin recommended you 😊

[@JulieRStitches]

Congratulations 🎉🎈 I found you because of a local stitching friend was given one of your beautiful bags. Thank for all you do for our community.

[@katbird1961]

You are very generous and love your bags. I found you when KZbin showed suggested videos in my feed. My dog, Heidi, is my baby too but she is a bit smaller. She is only 17 lbs and my lap dog. Always beside me when I’m stitching.

[@emmapurplemermaid5227]

Thank you for another lovely video. I found your channel watching another channel cross stitch with Luda. Your video came up so I opened it and glad I did 💜

[@brooksellers3732]

I watch many floss tube ladies and heard your name more than once, looked for you and have been enjoying you ever since. Pray your Akita gets well soon. Your bags are beautiful, not taking pre order takes off the pressure, good for you, it is nice that you give of your time on videos.

[@simonesanterre4048]

Congratulations on reaching the 2K mark Rika! 🎉 I was introduced to you from Brenda of Handworkmaniac Flosstube. She showed one of your beautiful project bags. Love your work. I have the rods that would fit perfectly in the lap frame. Also, I think “Khloebear” should have his own KZbin videos! 🐾💖

[@jenniferleece3186]

Your dog is beautiful! Congratulations on the subscribers. I found you as a recommend video on KZbin. Cant wait to see your progress on your wips.

[@glendabusby9970]

I was looking for my daughter's floss tube channel, Shawnamarie stitches, and your channel popped up. Watched and enjoyed very much. Would enjoy a lap stand. Thanks

[@StitchingWithTheSisterlies]

Congrats at 2000!!! Omg RIKA!!!! An elan lap stand!!! I found your channel through both stitch con searches and then again by Stitch West ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@denisehenkel6371]

I really enjoy your flosstubes. I have been looking at the lap stands and thank you for showing how it extends as I haven’t seen that before you demonstrated it. I found your channel by way of Keph and Deb’s flosstube they did during their Stitch West Retreat. You were encouraging Keph to get a Mirabellia. Your dog is beautiful!

[@shawner4640]

I would have found your channel by just looking around youtube for more inspiration. I have been enjoying watching your progress on your chatelaine. It is beautiful. Thankyou for sharing your stitchy stuff with us here. Happy stitching :-)

KZbin had you as a recommendation when I started watching Flosstube. I have been eyeing that lap stand every since I saw Brenda's demonstration of hers on her Flosstube.

[@nadinexerri5579]

2000! great number. I discovered flosstube through chance as I looked for a tutorial, so at the time i put flosstube in the youtube searches and the first 2 videos that came up was one of yours and Luda's. I watched those 2 and from there i was hooked and binged watched all :)

[@mdeutsch3404]

[@patricedodd2068]

I found your channel on the side bar where it reads recommended for you. After watching that one which I enjoyed, I binge watched all of the others. They were amazing. Thank you.

[@cubonecancraft]

Wow congrats on reaching so many subscribers. I have been mostly quietly watching for quite awhile. I think I found your channel from the recommended on KZbin. Glad to hear your beautiful pup is ok. She is so beautiful. Hope to catch a live for longer sometime soon. Take care till next time!

[@janetcompare9931]

Congratulations on your subscriber count! I found you through the recommendations. Your project bags are beautiful!

[@tealelder6475]

Congrats on all of your subscribers. I first saw you last summer in videos from stitchcon. I thought what a gorgeous lady, but didn’t know you did flosstube. I then saw someone post one of your bags on IG so started to follow because I was desperate for one of your bags, and I discovered you did flosstube as well. I adore my beautiful bag, as you know. Kloebear is so cute. I love Akitas. I once babysat for a family who had two. They were so loving and fun.

[@D02moon]

Hi! Your WIPS are coming along great 👍🏼 your dog baby is such a lovely dovey animal ❤️ - Your Flosstube video came up in my KZbin suggestion feed. I am glad I subscribed. You are very talented! See you soon.

[@reginadanner3536]

Congrats on the subscriber number! I found you by watching Deb and Keph, and I am so glad that I did! Hang in there, hopefully the craziness will die down.

[@trishaknitz5441]

Hi Rika I’ve been watching you since your first video. I think I found you by just searching Flosstube in KZbin and sorting it by new videos and you popped up. I love your style and all of your beautiful projects.

[@quiltma]

Thank you to Stitching with the Sisterlies for telling me about you. I would love the lap stand.

[@KatiesStitching]

[@northislandstitcher577]

I heard of you via a few floss tubes, and if memory serves me correctly at a retreat you went to where you did some of the filming with the facilitators of the retreat, The name escapes me. Your stitching is stunning, and thank you for sharing. Love you bags and those dragon needle minders are beautiful.

[@donnamariecorrigan]

So glad your sweetheart furry daughter is on the mend. I get worried too when my poodle is out of sorts ....its the not knowing . I discovered you by a recommendation from KZbin and I'm so glad. Also just saying... that colour lace dress is so pretty on you

[@killyloveshugs]

I hope your puppy is doing better now! It's always terrible when a pet is sick... they really are like children. I found your flosstube in my 'suggested videos' on youtube :)

[@stitchedbyminalove]

I love that tapestry and soul of the rose project. Thank God your video was in my suggested feed. New subscriber here.

[@michelleglasgow9511]

[@jessicasoliz2210]

Found you by searching cross stitching videos. Congratulations on reaching 2000 subscribers.

[@TheCarolinaStitchers]

How generous! I found you on Instagram I believe thru just keep Stitchin. As a military wife I immediately became a fan. Good luck on your upcoming move. We are at the end of our journey and my husband will retire from our current duty station (at 30 years). Khloebear is a cutie I hope she is feeling better. In January I lost my fur baby and I will never forget how traumatic those weekend ER visits were. Hope she’s good as new! Take care and happy Stitching!

[@jaymannella4213]

I found you by scrolling thru you tube. I really enjoy watching. I'm glad the Khloe is ok. I know what is like to have a sick dog. I lost 2 in a fire a couple years ago

[@thedukesau]

Congratulations. You are right to reset your sewing and shipping to suit you. Life balance matters

[@hoosierapplexstitch]

nice update! i found your channel, after seeing you at Stitch-con last year! :) Khloebear is adorbable, my fur baby is my child too!

[@jowahlgren2554]

I happened upon you just watching videos. And then from Debbie and Keph. And then figured we were geographically close. 😊

[@lauraellis6810]

I was at Stitchcon and started following you on Instagram and then flosstube.

[@cherylbreedlove6211]

Love your project bags! I’m not 100% sure but think I found you thru Snug Harbor Crafts as they were talking about a retreat and getting one of your project bags.

[@juliaalopiparo1605]

Your channel was suggested by KZbin. Love all your beautiful projects. Would love to win that lap stand!

[@jackiestevens7365]

Congrats on 2k! I found you last year on a list of Flosstubers that were going to be attending StitchCon. I’ve been watching ever since and enjoying all of your videos.

[@tammycourtemanche261]

I think I found you when watching bendy stitchy and your video was in the side bar on KZbin. Love your dog she’s so cute.

[@mamasaiki]

Luv your videos😘. I found you through Handworkmaniac. She was excited to have met you at a stitching conference. 🥰

[@gemmar7272]

Hi Rika, I started watching you from your very first video (when you had another channel name ;)) I am also a massive Mirabilia fan so you popped up on my suggested videos. Hope your having a better week, take care x

[@willemijn9990]

Yeah Rika, so wonderful to see all you beautiful WIPS, love them all! I would love to win the lapstand, I heard many great things about it, would be amazing to win. Happy Stitching 💕

[@willemijn9990]

oh, and found you on IG through your Zelda piece and watched almost all your videos while stitching, wonderful!

[@JanetJabber]

I found you from many other mentioning you and your amazing bags. I have yet to score a bag but someday maybe... I hope you baby is feeling better.

[@lisalovesstitchin]

Your chatelaine is beautiful 🦋 I first found you from the stitch con videos, I think Steph of Just keep stitchin shared on her insta stories.

[@julistubbs4901]

Hello Rika! I found you through Debbie and Keph. My first video I saw of yours was your tour through Shepherds Bush. I live an hour from there and have never been. Hoping you can come to Stitch West this year because I want to meet you so bad! I would love the lap stand!! I’ve been looking into stands but am never sure if they can fit the Q-snaps or not. Looks like this one does. Also.... I too love Christy at @Crosshatchquilts. She is a friend and her talents are never ending. She has a pure soul and you can tell in her floss tubes. Hope you have a great week and get to enjoy some stitching time.

[@julistubbs4901]

I also totally binged watch every one of your videos!! Great job!!

[@LizaStitch]

Hi rica,you look like a Pilipina Beauty♥️

[@cjstory8418]

Enjoyed video as always. Found your channel while searching for flosstube channels

[@sharonpetterson478]

LOVE your projects you are working on. I found out about you from another flosstubers.

[@tanyasnow98]

Your videos showed up in my recommended videos and I subscribed right away. I love all your Mirabelias ...I haven’t tried one yet myself. I hope your Chloe Bear feels better soon. Sick puppers are the worst!

[@angeliquevela6764]

Congratulations! I recently found you on Instagram and fell in love with your wips and creative aesthetics. Don't cringe😉, but I'm almost done binge watching you! I have a total girl crush, now.😍 My husband should be jealous!😆😂

[@vickibenyo4204]

Congratulations on your 2000 subscribers! I think I first saw you on a video someone posted of Stitch-Con. Maybe under a table picking up spilled beads? LOL! Hope your girl continues to feel better and better~

[@rebeccarhea6632]

First of all I love your orchid lights dress and your pretty long hair and I think I found you through Cheryl and Colleen the sisters they are sisters and I would love the bus the Crosstitch stand I look forward to more videos and I’m going to binge watch your videos to

[@mariayoung7702]

Your dig us adorable! Congrats on your subscriber count. I found you through another floss tuber. Don’t remember which one maybe stitching with the sisterlies

[@bethmcguire7581]

Lovely, as always, Rika! Beautiful work and projects! I found you because of Kyle R. When he was going to Stitch Con a couple of years ago he was making a video of his travels and he was meeting up with someone named Rika at the airport (maybe) to go on to Stitch Con together. Anyway, your name stuck with me because my first Pomeranian was named Rikka! I did a search on KZbin and found your channel and immediately subscribed! What a joy you are to watch! I enjoy all of your videos and appreciate you sharing your time with me! Have a Wonderful Week and Always Best Stitches---Beth :D

[@bethmcguire7581]

Oh and Big Healing Hugs to your sweet Klhoe

[@virpir2453]

I make a search by flosstube regularly and that's how I found you.

[@virapollinis]

I found you when I was searching for information about the Silverneedle in Tulsa. Your shop tour video when you were moving to Oklahoma came up.

[@JennyFleming]

I love that Lady and the Unicorn!!! I have been subscribed to your channel from the beginning! I’m sure I found you through Instagram.

[@candaceramirez9277]

Another great video girl! Such a cute blouse too! I found your channel by following another one. One of my favorite channels used to be thelovelyarray. Something happened in her life and she has been on hiatus for a long time. I see her on Instagram, but that's about it. I check her channel from time to time to make sure there's nothing new, you were down below, so I checked you out. 😉 So glad I did! Keep up the absolutely amazing work! Also, I work at a VA hospital. Please tell your husband thank you for his service!🇺🇸

[@rebeccarhea6632]

And love your dog it’s it’s so pretty it’s a big dog

[@kristimartin3427]

Congrats on 2000! I think I found you through Deb and Keph!

[@colleenlloyd2577]

I keep my keft over dimensions floss in a ziplock bag when I am done, I have several dimensions kits. If I happen to come up short, I check the left overs instead of waiting, to order from dimensions. There is a web site that converts them to DMC as well, for small project that just need a few stitches.

[@CandaceK]

I don't remember how I found you, but it was probably from doing a search for Flosstube. That's how I found a bunch of the channels I subscribe to!

[@madelinevans2415]

I found your channel when you were given a shout out. I think it was Pam or Steph.

[@findingjudi]

I have no idea how I found you 😂 But you can always drop by and watch my flosstube 👍🏼

[@eyvonnebeenstitchin7091]

I found you through a recommendation from another floss tube. I have been watching several months and I cannot remember who it was. I love your project bags and all your stitching projects. Love your dog!

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

So glad to see you again!!! I always love seeing your gorgeous projects and project bags!!! I found you through a recommendation on flosstube and I am sooo happy I did!!!

[@thequiltedstory]

I LOVE your videos! So much inspiration! I found you on instagram!

[@teresacash6258]

I found you through a shoutout from another flosstubes. Sorry but I can't remember which one. Your stitching is beautiful.

[@angelagioia5211]

You look gorgeous in that colour your wearing. I found you as a recommended video and subscribed immediately. I'm also stitching Dimensions Soul of the Rose. Your one looks fabulous.

[@RustRibbonsQuilts]

Omg 2000!!! YIPEE! I found your channel through sister (Colleen). I can’t believe your giving the stand away. Wowie!!!

[@senoritastitches6018]

I'm so glad your sweet Khloe is okay! I am trying to remember how I found you. I am really not sure, but I have been following you since pretty early on. You've come a long way since then :) I feel like it was either me looking for flosstube #1 videos or maybe you posted on a group somewhere and I followed that. Your projects are beautiful. I don't stitch Mira's but I really love them. I don't do HAED's either but I am the same as you and would pick something that is a classical painting of the masters fine art. One I often think about doing is Lady With a Fan by Klimt, but the version I want to do is by Scarlet Quince and they use blends so it must be done with two threads. I prefer to only use one thread.

[@karenpimienta6046]

Hi ! I find you on Instagram,and im so glad to find you ✌🏻😘😘

[@lindawagoner3331]

“KhloeBear” looks like a sweet hunk of love! Glad she is on the mend!!❤️❤️ I can’t remember how I found you (I hope that doesn’t disqualify me). I try to never miss a video. You are soo fun to watch. You make me feel young. I love my “heart” cross stitch needle bag that I got from you!🥰😘❤️
