My Picture This Plus Collection - Let's Talk Fabric - Lindy Stitches Flosstube

[@newobmat]

This video was GREAT!! Thanks for all the time spent getting the lighting just right so we can drool over the beautiful colors!

[@andreac-iheartcrossstitch]

This is honestly one of the best FlossTube videos I've ever seen. I'm going to save it and refer to it over and over as a fabric color resource. Thank you for verbally describing each color. That is invaluable!!!

[@welshie65clement19]

What a great video, please do more!!!

[@dirtdogssewcreate]

Thank you for this KZbin video on the fabrics and the complementary DMC colors. This is very helpful!

[@isabelrego1624]

It was awesome to actually see the fabric colors. Thank you so much for doing this flosstube, it was exceptionally helpful.

[@hotfootsue]

you have given us such a treasure, no more linen guesswork! ty so much:)

[@bonniedudley297]

Such a wonderful informative lesson . Thank you you organized it so very well. I tend to end up more neutrals so this was exciting to see your designs to help make more fun choices.

[@savedbygrace2383]

This is so helpful for a new stitcher like me, I love seeing the fabrics next to each other and the DMC match. Thank you!!

[@joanclarke5531]

Wonderful color comparison with the DMC, thanks for doing this. I don't think any Floss Tuber (sounds like a plant) has ever done this. I'm so glad to be part of this generous, sharing community. I don't make videos but I'm an ardent follower of you and others who do.

[@libbystitches811]

Excellent information! I found myself taking a lot of screenshots just for future reference. Thank you so much!

[@elizabethjehnzen]

Fantastic video! I loved how you not just showed the fabric and described them, but also said your impressions and what style of stitch you thought would be suited for them. Gonna bookmark this video for future reference.

[@chriscanaday7130]

What a treasure this video will be, very helpful. Thank you.

[@daisykaysprimitives]

So very informative and helpful. Thank you for taking the time and providing the DMC equivalents, that helps a lot. I like Ale also.

[@BuckeyeCrossStitcher]

Very helpful, especially matching the DMC colors!

[@carolhendry3652]

Fabulous video thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I am sure I will visit it many times when looking for linen.

[@laurabanks6340]

Really great info. Love you showing the DMC equivalent. Thank you so much!

[@raekess]

This was a FANTASTIC video! Thank you for taking the time to do it. It's actually helped me make some fabric choices for things I've wanted to kit up. :)

[@lorettahenderson8979]

WOW...beautiful fabric with the pairing of the DMC color...I will love to watch this again and take notes...thank you so much Stephanie...and please up date when you get new fabric colors in...just a short video would do...I know you are busy🦋

[@melissao7840]

Thank You!!!!! Will definitely be watching this everytime I go to pick fabric, cuz I love PTP. Thank for taking the time and doing this, mucho apreciado!

[@goldenstitcher]

Stephanie, this was a very helpful video, especially for those of us without an LNS with a good fabric selection. And the music is excellent! Thank you, Susan

[@curliestitcher]

Thank you for sharing your PTP fabric collections!!

[@BluebonnetsandWhiskey]

Oh my goodness! Thank you!!!! What an awesome video! So helpful! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I was just thinking the other day that I wish PTP would make a video showing all their fabrics. Next time I’d love to see a comparison of good ‘sampler’ colors from different color families.

[@betsywashburn9106]

Thanks so much Stefanie that really helps. Love the colors.

[@mm-qm9zh]

Oh my word!!! Are you kidding me??? This was the BEST VIDEO EVER!!! Stephanie, you have done such a wonderful service to the stitching community by showing all these beautiful fabrics, with all their differences and variety, and so very much BEAUTY! I’ve learned so much from seeing this and I was taking notes the whole time of colors I want to order. Your swatch notebook is a fabulous idea, and one I will be doing, too. Ditto the idea of ordering the small pieces from 123 Stitch. I have mostly neutrals in my collection, and I’m just starting to branch out more into the color realm, so this was invaluable for me. Thank you so much! The background music was impeccable, by the way! 🎼🎹 This is definitely going into my Keeepers file! Blessings to you, beautiful lady! 🧚‍♀️♥️☺️ Meline

[@AerialAsteroid]

Thank you soooooooooooooo much for this video! I feel like I'm going to have to watch it a million times over my stitching life every time I decide to start something new. And #lifegoals for your fabric collection. I think Jazz is my favorite PTP color. But I feel like you also need some Mystic, Gothic, Phantom, and Icon in your collection!

[@the_dogeared_stitcher]

I loved this video and the DMC equivalent is such a great idea, I think 'Haunted' and 'Dwarf' would be a great addition your PTP collection. Thank you so much for doing this and sharing it!

[@nevadastitcher]

What a great video! I tend to stick with beige-like neutrals (boring, I know) so this was a great help. This type of video should be put out by the fabric dyers themselves. I know we were shown some of the new colors that came out at market. I’ll be referring back to your video in the future. Thank you for taking the time to produce this video! 👍

[@Teach75]

Wow! I totally agree about Marilyn and PTP! She is absolutely wonder and generous and I buy this fabric more than others because a) the fabric is fabulous and b) the customer service is amazing!😊 I am adding this to my saved videos because it is done so well and gives such a great picture of each fabric. I have probably half of your stash, but looking forward to adding a few new ones now! Thanks for the enabling!😂

[@mirili3836]

What a wonderful video. Tks so much, it helped a lot❗️🥰Miriam

[@raspberry_stitcher]

That was fantastic & thank you for putting in all the effort!! I know I will be referencing this video for years to come!!

[@lesliereinhardt4908]

Love the swatch book idea!!!!! I would love PTP Old Blue Jeans.

[@giselem.kusmik5110]

This was MAGNIFICENT! I want to THANK YOU for showing these gorgeous colors! It was REALLY helpful to see the fabric that you stitched on! For instance that Jazz color - I would see the mottling and be too cautious about the outcome.... but then seeing your lovely peacock piece showed me how WELL it compliments your pattern!! I appreciate your hard work and photography to put this together! 😊👏🏻💖

[@pamlacey136]

Great video!! I loved it; very informative and I have lots of pieces of PTP fabric. Her shop is only about a couple of hours drive so it is fun to go there and get to personally pick out many lovelies that she creates. I love your patterns also and was disappointed that I missed Galleria this year due to health issues that came up at the last minute. I hope you will be there next year. Happy designing and stitching......................

[@Amylovestoads]

Well that was the best thing since Sliced Bread! Thank you!! I loved them all but I love all PTP.

[@kristimartin3427]

I love the "mess" you created! Lovely bunch of fabrics! Thanks for the video.

[@susanmann8827]

Oh my gosh! What a great video! As I don't have a LNS I've had to rely on ordering online and have been disappointed many times with the fabric I've ordered. The pictures of fabric online usually do not represent what they look like in person - your video will be so helpful. I love your idea for making a swatch book. Thank you!

[@ginaballard2095]

So much.... I just received 3 orders of fabric and what I call specialty threads, like kreinick,,,, it's like a happy birthday .... loved that calipso ...may have to make another order

[@lisahumbert942]

Super video! I love PTP linens too. Loved the Charlie Brown-esque music in the background. I don’t fully understand the desaturation concept. Maybe this is why sometimes when I do my own colors sometimes it’s not so great... maybe a side topic for a future Flosstube ? Thank you! Lisa

[@pamrosenberry7575]

Thank you for the review. I made notes for my next fabric order. Using the DMC equivalent was fantastic.

[@lisasstitchingandsuch]

Very very useful!!! A colour I think you should have is Rosewood. I stitched Persephone by Mirabilia on it and the light greens/blues/teals popped on it and it also worked with the dark blacks/browns of the background pattern. I love it!! The one I am intrigued by based on the picture in the website is Fresco but I've never known anyone to use it.

[@robinsummers9141]

What a wonderful video! I have never stitched on linen so this video is invaluable for me. Being able to see what the colors really look like has answered so many questions for me. I really do appreciate all of your hard work and your willingness to help people like me. Now all I need is to be able to sort out the equivalent of each count of aida to the linen count. Thanks Steph!

[@doreendeskins2141]

Thank you so much for thinking about a show on fabric. You did a fabulous job of showing a variety of PTP fabrics. You're right, to try and order just by looking at a swatch on line is very difficult. Giving us a DMC color number helps a lot too. I loved the idea of saving a small swatch of different colors in a notebook. Happy stitchinbg!

[@JEHomestead]

Oh my goodness! I want them all and I haven't learned to stitch on linen yet:) Love the finishes you showed and your swatch book is marvelous! Thanks for taking the time to show us all your lovely PTP collection! I really enjoyed this video. Hugs, Judy

[@joannemoore826]

Thank you for creating a mess for us! It is so frustrating to not have a lns to see the fabrics up close and personal. I am going to watch this again and make note of the floss colors you paired up. Thank you. Love the background music too!

[@globalcolor4080]

Thanks for putting in all the hard work it must have taken to do this video for us all. Interesting to see the comparisons like that. I saw a couple that I love. You had sterling which is one of my faves. I just got some "cauldron" at Sassy Jacks which is a great Halloween color: grayish/blueish purple with blood colored mottling. I'm going to stitch Spooky Hollow 1820 by Lindsay Lane Designs on it (the model is stitched on it). PTP is my favorite linen.

[@kristinshields]

This is a fantastic video! I don’t know why every fabric company doesn’t do this. I have only used PTP “fog”, but I love it.

[@kharding57]

Thank you for doing this video! I love that you paired each with a DMC equivalent. PTP fabrics are wonderful to stitch on. One of my very favorite dark neutrals is Ale...you should add it to your collection. 😊

[@DeeAZstitcher]

Nice selection! .... in the blues add Haven, Bridesmaid, Mystic, Dwarf, Zephyr.

[@lorielle1395]

This was AWESOME!!!! Loved how you also told the DMC equivalents in case the color was off on our devices. I plan on saving this as a reference. Maybe PTP can give you more swatches for a part 2... 😉😊 A BIG THANKS!!!!

[@bethfred6360]

Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@jillbennett8334]

Great video! Thank you for taking such care in accurate colors. I could see them really well. This will be a great resource. Regarding other colors, you might like some of the golds, or gold toned colors.

[@JennyFleming]

Thank you for the DMC equivalents. I know a lot of time went into making this video. Thank you for taking the time to do it! Calypso be cray. Love the Nashville 2020 preview!

[@jodibedard4306]

This was great Stephanie! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! It helped a lot with deciding on some fabrics that I've been thinking about. My three favorite fabrics are Ancient & Murky (for Halloween) and Heroic which is so pretty for patriotic designs. Some other colors that I have that are really nice are Truffle, Ale, Helix, Dwarf and Storm. I don't have it, but I would love to see a piece of Cauldron. Thanks again for sharing!

[@flowerandlinen]

Amazing!!! I love PTP fabrics and this was such a good idea for us to really see what they have to offer. They’re super hard to get in Australia as the postage cost is horrendous. I have purchased some in kits and love them. Thanks so much.

[@debbiegallett1125]

Thank you that was amazingly helpful.

[@maggiecoughenour4799]

I really enjoyed this video Picture this Plus I am Fabric shopping and this was a perfect end to my evening You are so cute and seem so sincere Thank you!!!

[@judysayers2518]

Brilliant! Thank you. 💐

[@jennscountedthreads]

Thanks so much for putting in the effort and sharing that with us. I think you should try out the color Memory. It is a darker pink with great modeling.

[@marysedubeau8876]

That was GREAT Stephanie! Thank You for doing this, I haven't stitched with Picture This Plus yet, but I saw a few colors that could definitely become my favorites!!! And the binder idea is so good also, I am stealing this idea! Sorry! LOL!

[@1948sapphire]

well now I have 6 more colors I want!! I'm surprised the fabric companies don't make swatches of all their products available for designers. 2 of my favorite are the new Memory and Nessie.

[@thedukesau]

I have just repeat watched sections of this video. So loved the DMC colour match. Was able to check my threads to compare to my screen view. So very thoughtful. Thank you for the time you spent doing this.

[@deborah1555]

Sooooo helpful, thanks

[@cindeehoeffliger5029]

Great collection!!! I loved your DMC comparisons. Some of my favorite PTP have been Tycho, Truffle & Barnwood. I added a few of yours to my want list 😂😂 Thank you for taking the time to put the video together.

[@Angie-private]

I loved the fabrics and seeing the projects really helped me imagine what they would be like to use. Thanks, Steph! Well done!

[@climbingstitcher6755]

Thank you for taking the time to put this together! It's super helpful to see the fabrics on video like this and now I want to go shopping :)

[@girl920]

Great video Stephanie! Thank you for taking the time to do this. I am obsessed with PTP but it's always a little scary ordering from the little pic. Super helpful to see this, and you are so organized wow! I tend to be a neutrals gal but I love Gothic, check it out!

[@dsun1132]

Thank you so much! This was freakin genius! The DMC equivalents are super appreciated. Off to find some Tarnish. You might like Cauldron. - Dina

[@marygorden2334]

I am reaching out through virtual time and space and giving you the biggest hug in the world for working your cute little curly headed booty off and publishing this video. I am on the fence with PTP colors, and you just rocked my world and possibly saved me a lot of dough. And, I love your Emily's House design too! Muahhhh XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

[@lindystitches]

What a lovely virtual hug!!! Thank you!! xo

[@mindyleblanc3348]

i found this video help full for i am just starting to pull away from aida for my smaller pieces not my mini haed so not ready for that ha ha ha i just found you thanks to eclectic possions and you made me feel more comfortable with some of my habbits in my stitching for i am self taught and just discovered your x are supose to all go one way.... but i think you need a deep smokey blue for like a stormy sky. love love love emilys house you should be so proud

[@lisaschindler9821]

I like the color Ale, have used it a few times, it's a good darker neutral brown. I have also been ordering those small pieces from 123stitch to get a good collection. This was a great way to show the different colors, loved it!

[@erinzuffante1837]

This was awesome. It’s so much better seeing the fabric on videos and it gave me some ideas for different projects I’d like to stitch.... thank you! You should check out the colors Haunted and Chime. They’re really beautiful.

[@sandraf6033]

Loved this! I am definitely making a swatch book now. I dream of finding Dapple in the UK.

[@maryjaneh2251]

Incredibly helpful - especially for those of us without a close LNS - thanks for taking the time to put it together! My PTP collection is small; I've stitched on Fog and Tycho -- both are very light neutrals without distinct mottling. Good choices if you just want an ecru type fabric without dramatic mottling.

[@jayninecrafts]

This was great and very helpful. Thanks for investing so much time and effort into the video. You might like Dapple! :)

[@colleenarnold4915]

I'm so glad you did this video!!! I've been wanting to order Legacy but it looked so dark on shop websites! Great collection!! Thank you

[@lyncampbell992]

Fantastic video. Loved it.

[@amyseniva4634]

Thank you so much! I'm in North Pole, Ak (one day I'll figure out a way to make it to a stitchy event so I can get your adorable turtle pattern!) and have to order most of my supplies online. I have only ordered one piece of PTP, Ariel, and I think it was the perfect choice! Now I need to start my swatch book 👍😊

[@sharonwurm4382]

Really awesome that you did this. I saw some colors I need to add to my collection. You might want to check out Fog and Helix. I just bought Solar but I’m not sure you’d like it. Thanks for a great video!

[@stitchinglis]

This was so informative. Thank you! I have a piece of Opal that I think is really pretty. It might be one to try.

[@marygoode1058]

Oh my goodness, Stephanie! Thank you so much for all the time and energy you put into making this fabric video. What a wealth of information...a great reference tool for future use with fabric selection. I appreciate your hard work. You included so many colors of linens...something for everyone’s taste preferences and projects, I don’t even know what to suggest to add to this. And, you said there are so many more PTP color ways??? Really??? Obviously, I have a lot to learn!😀 Happy Fall from SE Michigan!🍁🍂🎃

[@KatydidStitches]

Thank you so much for this! I also have a piece of Feldspar, but I feel like mine has much heavier mottling (I love it though, and it's perfect for what I'm doing on it). Dye lots are nuts. I definitely found a few in this video that I want to try out that I've never actually heard of/seen before (Alchemy and Veldt for sure). I've seen a few people recommend Ale in the comments, and I'm adding my vote for that one. I have a piece and I loooove it.

[@caemc0430]

Can't remember if you showed a PTP colour called "Lupine"? I saw a beautiful sampler where they used Lupine along with the Gloriana colour "Café au lait." Stunning. Thanks for sharing.

[@seaweedtotter]

Thanks for making me work slower because I had to keep looking up at all the beautiful fabrics! :) It was an awesome video. So far I have only used Aida, but I *love* PTP. I recently used Prank for a couple of Halloween patterns, and of course it was perfect. It's my only orange fabric. One color you really should look into is Dapple. I just ADORE this color. Its a very cool light gray, with fairly light mottling on Aida, but more pronounced on linen. I'd say its close to DMC 02 or 03. It's a great grey neutral. I've used it for 2 Disney related patterns from Good Morning Maui- Welcome Foolish Mortals, and Stretching Portraits. Both are from Disney's Haunted Mansion ride. It gives a nice gray cloudy, dingy, old sort of tone. :) Keep up the super work!

[@cassandra3399]

I loved that’s! And I’m so envious of your lovely color So! My mouth was watering. It also made me want to stitch all your designs! I am not that experienced with fabric colors but those are so lovely. I would love to see a comparison of different brands of linen, with price points and what each is good for. I stitched years ago and the linen colors were quite dull in those days. What a difference. Thank you so much!😊

[@jenniebest5354]

Fantastic video! Thank you so much! I can imagine that must've taken so much time and was tricky to get the color right. I can never get the green tone in my Tarnished when I photograph it.

[@lindystitches]

Tarnish is super hard to get right! I wonder why certain colors make cameras crazy?

[@Geewhiz65]

Stephanie, you NEED Dapple! My favorites true light grey. Great vid!

[@donnaneal2976]

Thank you so much for doing this video.... although I'm more confused about what to use to stitch Rosewood Manor "Inspiration". You showed so many beautiful colors, I'm not sure.... The pattern calls for moonglow but I believe the dye lot has more yellow than it used to and I'm not really a yellow person either. If you are familiar with this pattern, do you have any suggestions? Thanks so much!

[@MichelleBendyStitchy]

That was FANTASTIC!! The swatch book is genius; I'm definitely going to make my own. Thank you for doing this. I love Bashful, Dapple, and Huntress. Also, Mello and Spice! Marilyn has too many fantastic fabrics.

[@jocollins324]

Awesome!

[@joannemoore826]

So I have thanked you once for this video and in the meantime have watched it a bunch more times!! In spite of your words of wisdom and experience I just ordered a chatelaine pattern...gulp...but this video is such a help! Interested in Tycho which might be the ticket as it rhymes with Psycho which may be my new nickname for venturing into this....😉

[@lindystitches]

LOL! Which Chatelaine did you get?

[@joannemoore826]

@@lindystitches I received the Tuscany Town mandala off of the stash unload. I have visited the towns represented on it, Venice, Pisa, Florence and I think Sienna...as did my kids so it will be a keepsake..also my dads birth place is near Venice. His health has hit the skids these last few months so entering this cross stitch world has been much appreciated escape therapy for me!I have never done beading so that has me curious and a bit apprehensive ......oh boy.....

[@lucianafuntowicz]

Thank you for this - I ordered legacy and arctic during the July sale and am still waiting for them, but it looks like the colors will work for my projects so that is reassuring.

[@bluegrassstitcher7458]

I didn’t see Heartland in there. It’s an AWESOME light brown neutral. It’s one of the new ones from this year and quickly became a favorite go-to. I also have a deep navy (Mystic) but it’s more for specific things. Way too dark for just anything. I purchased it and a deep bright red (Phoenix) both because Queen of Freedom from Mira looked really good on both of them on Fabricviewer.com and I wanted to see them in person to decide. I do a lot of Americana so they’ll get used eventually Also, I can’t believe how much different your Heroic is than mine. Mine is VERY red, white and blue. it just all depends on the piece you get I guess. Haunted is another blue/green that I use a lot. Loved seeing all of yours. There’s a couple I need to order. I’d love to have them all. Wouldn’t we all?!? Thanks for sharing. Roxanne

[@bluegrassstitcher7458]

Oh. I forgot Mello. A yellow toned neutral. That one I use more than I thought I would

[@craft_addictk]

Surprised you dont have Ale or Haunted.. 2 of my favs
