Thanks for this tutorial! It was super helpful - I've been thinking of creating my own cross-stitch patterns!

[@eileenscheindlinger2395]

OMG, love your ideas, tips, & tricks! You are so talented! I especially love that in a crazy, hateful world you have a wonderful sense of humor and are not afraid to share it! Ignore the hate & accept the love. ❤️

[@ElewinaX]

Thank you so much!! It's really good to know there are people out there like you who share both my passion and also my sense of humor :)

[@alexandra11888]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I just started making a new pattern last night on Stitch Fiddle and was so stuck for how to move things over without having to erase everything and start again. Thank you!!

[@ElewinaX]

Oh I'm glad!! Yeah lack of regular moving option there is a bummer, I hope they'll add it in the future :)

[@zoecarter2745]

Wow the work on your instagram is so cute! I've been wanting to get into cross-stitch so glad I found this channel :) Lmao @ all the people downvoting for "inappropriate" patterns

[@ElewinaX]

Thank you!! I'm sure you'll have loads of fun when you try it :)

[@eternaleyeliner]

[@jader6769]

So much negativity about your choice in cross stitch patterns. I don't really understand why it's necessary to comment negatively on your own personal designs when that is not even the point of this video. Thanks for the tips, this gave me a starting point to start making some of my own.

[@ElewinaX]

Jade R thanks!! I know some of them are quite controversial, so I was prepared for comments like that. That's just what I like doing though, so I wanted to show my jam anyway :) I'm glad some people don't mind!

[@maisygirl07]

I noticed too ~ God gave you a wonderful talent and you don't seem to understand His goodness to you. Elewina, I'll be praying for you to begin to concentrate in the truth about God. It is true God hates sin but not the sinner (He is rich in mercy toward us).

[@ElewinaX]

I don't believe in God, so no need for prayers, but thanks I guess? ;)

[@maydeopriti]

Thank you!

[@shelbyrose5407]

If I make the design online, do I just print it on regular paper? And then how do I do the stitch?

[@ElewinaX]

Yes, you can just print it :) best with a color printer so it's easy to follow. The way I do it is I start in the center of a pattern on the center of my canvas so it's all nicely centered. You start with the first (center) stitch and then just count how many stitches in what color you have to make. Every square from your pattern is one cross on your canvas. I don't know if what I'm saying makes any sense to you, it's called counted cross stitch, so you can look it up if you have doubts :)

[@dammikawickramasinghe4190]

Thanks

[@Purplemad101]

I hope you don't mind me asking but do you have a link to the book you are using in this video?

[@ElewinaX]

I'm so sorry for the late reply! I saw your comment but later forgot to answer :( I'm showing 2 books - "I got 99 problems but a stitch ain't one" by Genevieve Brading and "Subversive cross-stitch" by Julie Jackson!

[@blossomnessstudios4446]

Is there a way to attach cross-stitch to other fabric? Like, use it as a patch or something?

[@ElewinaX]

I made a video about making a cross - stitch patch :) but it's small, so if you want to sew a big panel on something, I'd fold all the edges under to hide all the raw edges and top stitch it :)

[@blossomnessstudios4446]

@@ElewinaX Ok, thank you! I'll definitely take a look at your video on it

[@eileenscheindlinger2395]

Look up "waste canvas"... that may give you some ideas

[@onetmaster]

I want to be pro too! Still a lot in front of me. But I'm not giving up!

[@sarahloo2295]

the shock of my face when i saw "znacie ewry Najt"

[@ElewinaX]

😂

[@loriquinn9456]

What is the website for cross stitching pattern

[@ElewinaX]

You mean the tool for making it? Stitchfiddle.com :)

[@MsSpencerinfrance]

Does the software own your pattern as you design on their software?

[@ElewinaX]

I can't say for all the software out there, but when you use the one I do you own your designs and can do with them whatever you want, including selling :)

[@tessmoore3762]

What's number 3??

[@ElewinaX]

Drawing on grid paper! ;)

[@itbbrokeifix]

God Loves us all

[@BrianaIncognita]

"God hates us all" 💀💀 fucking YES lol

[@user-li2bo1qt1b]

Irritating background music. I can’t watch it because of the sound

[@beadmomma4]

God doesnt hate us all. He loves us all

[@lingdynasty4606]

Nice tutorial, but your message is off taste. God loves, people hate. But you do you, good luck and thank you

[@abieeel]

im so offended that you made an art piece that says god hates us all like..... he loves everyone so thumbs down for me

[@ElewinaX]

If he does love everyone then you surely shouldn't be offended that I'm simply wrong, but fine, have a great day ;)

[@abieeel]

@@ElewinaX didnt u understand He loves everyone not me ahshzjajdhs😂
