FlossTube Tutorial Sewing Method in a Scroll Frame and Stitch With Me

[@stampincass]

My top leg is top right to bottom left and I feel like it's "backwards" to others, but it doesn't bother me. There's not a wrong way, as long as they all go the same way. Pretty stitching and great rod overview

Omg, another stitchwr that makes xs the way i do. Thank u for this video

I love stitching in hand on my frame .I have been doing it for years and with q snaps and hoops too .happy stitching

[@dianemiller7994]

I enjoyed your video and had a good laugh about your changing upper left to Washington State etc. It took me a little while to translate your geographic directions to left and right directions. Can’t help but wonder how your international watchers did with the trip through the USA. 😂

Just found you. I really enjoy seeing how different people stitch. I found you video really informative and interesting. Glad you put it out there. Thank you

[@ger_gerxstiches]

So glad you found it helpful

[@barbarabraun6412]

Very helpful and appreciate watching you stitch right to left and back. Thank you!

[@gingermccafferty9572]

I agree with seeing holes better. I evolved to stitching this way, over the years, the fabric loosens and it was just easy to stitch with sewing method and prefer the hand comfort with a hoop or scroll frame vs “in hand”. Lately I have evolved a bit to 2 hand method, using hoop stand, and I poke needle in from the bottom eye first. Liking it very much.

It’s so neat how people have different stitching styles! You’ve made such great progress on Always Room!

This is a really helpful video about scroll rods. I'm going to try machine stitching a band of muslin to my linen as my old Bucilla rod uses tacks! Digress away! I bought prescription glasses online for the first time and saved $400 from what the store quoted, but they didn't have an overnight option for no line trifocals :)

Enjoyed ! Cool project, love all your colors. Happy stitching!

[@beckyacosta2090]

I enjoyed your video. I’m going to try going back to scroll rods and using the sewing method. I love your Sampler too! Your stitching is beautiful!

[@ger_gerxstiches]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I really do love my scroll frames for the sewing method. I feel like I frog less.. though it's only anecdotal. I don't have any data to back that up.

[@victorianardone3813]

OMG- so glad I found you! I am a sewer and stitch the way you do, except for the left to right- still turning my work upside down🙂. anyway, just recently started a project on a very large piece of fabric and wanted desperately to find a way to hold it other than a hoop- the scroll bar with a loose tension worked perfectly! Thank you so much!!! Well done!

[@ger_gerxstiches]

I'm so glad this was helpful. I feel like scroll rods have been a game changer for me. What piece did you start?

[@victorianardone3813]

@@ger_gerxstiches I’m starting A Year in the Woods- Swans, Reindeer, and Fox ( cottage Garden) all on one piece of fabric. Plan on finishing as a bench pillow. Keep up the nice videos, and thanks again. Vicki.

[@victorianardone3813]

@@ger_gerxstiches hi again! Sorry to bother you but I have a question. Is there any fabric type that you don’t/can’t “sew” on? I’m having so much trouble with Davos and Hardanger - threads slip between the crosses. Ugh!

[@ger_gerxstiches]

@Victoria Nardone I haven't sewn on Hardanger or Davos before. But what I can tell you is I have the same trouble with 1 over 1 on linen and evenweave when I use the sewing method. I have to put the fabric in a hoop and stitch up and down. The side to side pulling with the sewing method seems to pull the threads underneath the weave of the fabric. With over 2, the threads that are pulled kn aren't touching and so it doesn't slip under or in between. I had to learn the hard way when I started a big project on 25 ct over 1. I eventually abandoned it and restarted on a higher count over 2. Good luck!

What a great and unique communicator you are.wonderful tutorial

[@ger_gerxstiches]

Thank you! 😃

[@dianefabec8157]

Perfect timing tutorial. I stitch in hand and have been thinking of a scroll frame for the larger pieces. Thank you

[@ger_gerxstiches]

It's made a huge difference for me. I hope you give it a try and it works well for you!

[@krist3023]

I stitch the same top stitch as you. I can’t change either. Lol😊

[@Fritha71]

I stitch in hand with the poke method, even my full coverage pieces. My stitches go from Florida to Seattle then New York to Los Angeles so the top stitches are slanted to the right. I started doing that because it was easy to remember that stitches go the way my handwriting goes, I also stitch from left to right ( left-handed here ) Thing is, if I want to save thread, in a kit for example, I occasionally will stitch my upper stitch from LA to New York if the next stitch is somewhere on the right side, just to save that little extra thread in the back, hahah.

[@TheRhama343]

Great video just a quick question what needle are you using?

[@tisha18264]

Loved your tutorial on scroll rod frames. I just ordered the Arabeska special edition from Amazon. Also do you mind sharing the name of the chart you’re working on?

I'm so glad you found it useful. The piece is There Is Always Room by Maximum Cross-stitch

What is the pattern you work on in this video?

[@pnickel3059]

It’s not called stitch in hand when you use a frame. Stitch in hand is usually completely holding your fabric in hand, no hoops or scroll frames, etc….
