Helen, you are one of my favorites! I love all your stitching ! Thanks for making these videos for our enjoyment. I want to know how do you get your "white" stitches to look so nice?? I've tried everything... certain color fabric, railroading, etc. Your white stitches always look so nice. If you have any secrets, please spill them here. LOL #1

[@helend.flosstube]

I'm never pleased with my white stitches either! I don't know why that particular floss just stitches up differently. I take them extra slow and make sure to drop my needle to untwist the floss often.

That's awesome that your library has it coming!!

[@auntbella2]

#1 is cute, but #2 made me gasp. Another set of houses to go on my wish list. And I appreciate that you often use Aida and DMC. As a stitcher who is re-embracing the craft after several years away, I’m dabbling in smaller linen pieces. However, Aida and DMC have been the most accessible for my budget and the most familiar. Btw, I vote the blue-gray fabric. 😊

[@helend.flosstube]

There are so many beautiful fabrics to choose from! I love the ease of Aida, and my eyes definitely appreciate it! 😂

Hi Helen, I love that "Toil & Trouble" from the Just Stitching Magazine. I have a library card and use the Libby website which is connected to my local library. I have several subscriptions to cross-stitching magazines including that one. I copy and paste the picture and pattern using "snip it" and Word. I am then able to save it to my files and print it in color to stitch. It's a great savings and I only print what I want to stitch. Please share if you like it. Take care, have a great day.
