This was the best beginner video- you answered all the questions a beginner would have! Now I am ready to start needlepoint! Thank you!

[@TheGreekGoddess369]

Hello I'm from Australia I bought a kit today I didn't remember how to do this so come on here... I watched a few before I found yours... So Ty I just started mine u explained it so good . TFS I just subscribed to your channel.. omg I just realised mine is all purple with a unicorn 🦄 similar to yours

[@Biebersgurl17]

Thank you so much!! 10 years later and this video was immensely helpful for this beginner 💜💜

[@Ellie-yx8ni]

Thank you. This explained managing the smaller bits at the beginning very well.

[@wandaknable6281]

You are so informative and by the way your wedding set is beautiful looks Victorian. Wanda🌺

[@sherryroberts7716]

Thank you! Great tips I did not know! I've been needlepointing for a while, but I think I was doing it wrong when I started the second row. I learned from you, thanks!

[@georgettequinn26]

Thank you so much! I just received a beginners kit and it didn't do a good job of explaining. Your video was very helpful. Now I'm off to do my first needle point thanks to you!

[@GrandmaMcBear]

That "waste knot" is a brilliant idea!!!

[@Phellie3]

Thank you. I like the knot idea easier to tie in on the underside. Easy to understand. I'm ready to start. Please post more on changing colours within the pattern, I have trouble understanding if I should stitch in a particular spot where there isn't much of the picture. Sorry to sound unclear, I'm struggling for words to describe.

[@doragibson59]

Great advice on irregular shapes.

[@lc4365]

Thank you so much for those helpful instructions! The accent was an added bonus.

[@sunsetblue06]

Thank you very much! A clear and simple explanation, helped me a lot!

[@dpettek]

Thank you! Without knowing how to do it myself, I'm trying to help my 6-year-old learn to needlepoint with a kit. I could not for my life figure out how to start the second row, even with the kit's instructions and diagram! There's just no substitute for demonstration.

[@ronika24]

Thank you. My daughter and I are beginners so we found your video very helpful. Regards, Ronika and Emma Lu (7 yrs)

[@shrljazz]

It couldnt be more clear so now I'm going to try and give a go! Thank you so much.

[@violet2048]

Thank you so much, it's been years since I last needle pointed and I truly forgot how to begin.

[@simonleaf2765]

Really helpful. I've just got into this after doing a kit and really enjoying it.

[@473mishke]

Hi Simon, did you find that you have to flip the canvas over with each new row? Can needlepoint be done without flipping the canvas? I'm new as well--I can embroider but needlepoint is a little confusing to me.

[@simonleaf2765]

@@473mishke Hi Mishka. I must admit I don't flip the canvas over - I just go in a backwards direction on the same side.

[@lakey2758]

Thank you so much for making this video! It clears up a lot of confusion I had as a beginner.

[@MarkKaterberg]

Thanks for the help! There were some really nice starter tips here.

[@cindy414ful]

Thank you Brenda, your video has really been helpful.

[@COLLECTIONDART]

Thanks for clear explanation! We like it very much!

[@anngutierrez5844]

Thank you, a quick and simple explanation. Subscribed to website for more Needlepoint fun!

[@lindaruss3772]

My kits say to undo the threads 6 strings each) before I start knitting. I didn’t do that on my first kit, because I didn’t see a difference. What say you?

[@Holmesymom]

This was awesome. Thanks for the demonstration

[@brawyn777]

what kind of a needle are you using? i have just started to latch hook and i like it,this looks interesting as well,there are lots of canvas needlepoint kits on ebay for sale

[@patriciamcnutt2016]

Very helpful. Thank you

[@473mishke]

Why do I have to turn the canvas upside down for the second row--is this necessary? It's a very confusing step. Can I just work on one side without flipping the canvas over with each row? Thanks!

[@pamsmith7176]

Thanks so much, I really have learned from you!

[@ther51]

I have just started cross-stitch, when i have finnished my project i might have ago at needlepoint it looks great and faster lol....thanks, Elaine :)

[@exkelsior1486]

so is needlepoint generally easier than cross stitching? Thinking of picking up a kit to try it out and I was curious.

[@jcmelborai]

Thanks a lot it is very clear

[@desireewadsworth5735]

does all needlpoint projects use yarn?

[@loniscollectables]

So needlepoint is basically the same as plastic canvas right??

[@HeyGirlie92]

Really nice and informative!

[@bethh6042]

i'm gald that i wacht this now we can do our needlepoint kit

[@saraw3418]

Never heard of leaving a knot in front of the canvas like that. I prefer to have the tail in the back and stitch over it to hold it. I also think your length of yarn is much too long. When it's that long it tends to get "woolly" because it's going in and out so often.

[@LormaMargosiak]

Sara W what's the best canvas to use to make your own design and where can I buy it

[@saraw3418]

You should be able to buy canvas at any needlework or craft store. I don't like the stiff plastic type of canvas. I like the canvas that is beige in color and softer.

[@TheCornDavis]

THANK YOU!!! That helped so much!!

[@kraftymomma1979]

Wonderful video!

[@lovinghobby9072]

How many strands do I have to use if I use DMC 25 phreads?

[@TheThreekeys]

Great video....but I must say I chuckled at 1:18-1:22 when a "third hand" came into view JUST as she said, "....like the second arm on a v..." Ha!

[@hblollypopstar]

You'll get better the more you do it because when my mother taught me I suck horribly but, know I can do it okay still not great.

[@twiggers23]

[@dr8gen917]

[@mayzitta]

rosey grier

[@gemmauren9105]

I SUCK at this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dr8gen917]

your mom

[@OldWoodbridgeMom]

This did not help at all! Miss leading titles stink!

[@sarahplunkett4960]

umm you are rude

[@merylehawkins464]

Continental stitch distorts the canvas. Basket weave or tent stitch are better stitches to use. If your canvas is distorted it is difficult to get straight again for finishing. Video not helpful.
