LIVE: Fabric & Floss Options for FALL ON THE FARM! - Stitchy Talk #13

[@michellemunger8244]

Hi Kimberly! I am new to your KZbin videos and am loving it. I have been stitching for about 40 years now. You have mentioned it is hard reading a black and white chart and I so agree. So what I do that works for me is to make a photocopy of the chart and take colored pencils and color each symbol. That helps so much so it ends up like a colored chart. Thought I'd share.

[@danakuhlman5122]

This process reminds me of when I used to make a lot of ragdolls. I spent more time picking out the materials for their clothes than actually making them!!! :)

[@sms7240]

I would love to see all of the main fabrics compared. Counts, up close appearance, texture (crunchy v. Soft). A close up of how the needle acts in them. Etc. Love your show and shop!

[@sheilalovesgreg3489]

Happy, blessed & healthy 2022!

[@BexfromTexas]

Loved rewatching this. You are so 😊 cheerful & fun to learn from. I just wanted to say thanks. I love your shop too 😍 💕

[@sheryllanciano7808]

Glad to have you back. I sewed binding while watching you today, and I appreciated the company! Take care

Just for perspective re: color vs black and white printing - I am a public librarian in Alabama. Our public printer charges are based on us breaking even on printing with patrons paying 15 cents per page for B&W and 50 cents per page for color. So there's a BIG difference in cost.

So happy to be somewhat back to normal with new FQS videos! Happy New Year!

[@grandmastraw]

Yay! You’re back! Which means it’s time to get to work on all the FQS stitch alongs. I spent my time while missing FQS live, reading the Jolly Jabber. Nice to see you again. Blessings and take care.

I have decided to do this as one big project but bought the material cut to fit each one as I had originally decided to stitch them separate. I have searched all over for information on what everyone is planning for this series. After such a big decision change and looking for helpful information, it was so exciting to see that Stitchy Talk is about Fall on the Farm! Thank you for so much info. I have made tons of notes and now I cannot wait to get started!

[@sharonparker7867]

Loved this Stitchy Talk and seeing the process of how you start a new project. A wealth of information. Thank for your generosity of always sharing your knowledge to support us. Have a great day. 💗💗💗

[@margaretbaker623]

Playing catchup! This was very useful, thank you all 😊

[@kathyeggleston1725]

It is late Thursday night and I wanted to make a couple of comments. First …the two greens that you picked for the grass … since this is a fall stitch, it may depend on what your grass looks like in October or November. I am in northern Indiana and our grass is starting to turn colors, just like our leaves. So that may also influence your color selection. Second… there are lots of color changes in the first picture … that will certainly add time to the stitch. And Third … I have no real taste, so I rarely, if ever, change my colors. I am really interested in how much you will accomplish on a project stitching just two hours a week! Missed your videos for the past two weeks, but you are entitled to holidays, vacation, and family time too!

[@pennyschwarze6393]

I like the colors but I really like seeing you do this it helps when I want to change thing

[@mariawells8026]

Kimberly, Happy New Year! I'm so very grateful you are explaining this so well. I bought the Christmas one and haven't started it because I didn't know how or what to do. This is a huge help! Thank you.

[@janadachingwa9234]

Wonderful stitchy talk about Fall on the Farm and size of fabric 14 or 16 ct and what color, beautiful beige. Farmhouse Christmas used beautiful beige 16 ct 36'' x 51''. Walk in Peace

[@margm4]

I’m not doing this project as I’m way behind on others. But am enjoying watching your thinking and trying different combinations. I like variegated threads myself! 💖🇦🇺

[@dianeevans9842]

Thanks Kimberly, I loved your video. I do love that pattern!

[@susangenry6497]

Pine Needles and Weeping Willow go great together

[@gerryfix1009]

[@krzybutifl]

Steamed broccoli and weeping Willow for sure. The other 2 greens are too blah. 🤭🤫 love seeing your videos!

[@basketballgirll17]

Hi Kimberly and FQS team! Can anyone provide a suggestion for a 28 count lugana for Fall on the Farm?

[@sharonbeck8209]

I like your planner cover. Welcome into the New Year.

[@CatherineKohn]

Would Beautiful Beige work for the Hometown Holiday's Series by LHN? Thank you for sharing your projects with us and taking to the time to always adjust what you talk about.

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Catherine! We think that would work.

[@jamieg9245]

Love your videos... question what acrylic boxes are you using in this video to store your classic colorworks? I can't wait to stitch Fall on the farm!

Loved seeing your floss picking provess

[@dianeevans9842]

Kimberly, I did have a question. You mentioned that you want to stitch on that piece at least 2 hours, about how many stitches do you get done an hour? I was stitching a couple of hours today and I ended up doing about 75 stitches an hour. I don't know if that is slow or average.

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Diane! I'm not sure how many stitches I complete in an hour but I'll let you know during livestream this week.

[@robinselby1]

Hi Kimberly! I like pine needles for green and I like the muddy puddle too! I always buy your floss packs you have such a great eye for color! So now I’ve changed my mind… steamed broccoli and frog legs? Lol I have no idea! Thanks for the video it always helps me so much to see the processes♥️love you and FQS!!! One question, are each of the border blocks going to be different colors? Or will you pick one color like Farmhouse Christmas and use one floss only? What about an outside border since there isn’t one charred would the farmhouse border for the outside work? Hmm I wonder!

[@margm4]

Called for colours look best for me🥰

[@dallastaylor5479]

I liked the original colors, but it's a you do you thing.

[@WaterfallFW]

[@wwjackie7751]

Hello, may I please ask, I thought you’ve said where to find the outer border that some are adding, but I can’t find that anywhere. I’m talking about a border other than what’s on the pattern that goes around the entire nine patterns. Thanks so much for your help.

[@mrsrigsby698]

I did not make my question clear when I was asking about over one stitching. When stitching on linen, you are going over two threads so when the pattern calls for over one you change to stitching over one thread. I only stitch on 14 count. I have a pattern that calls for over one. Since I am not stitching on linen, how do I stitch over one on 14 count? Thank you

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Mrs.Rigsby! If you are stitching on 14 count, you will be stitching over one. If you are stitching on linen then you will need to stitch over two. If a pattern lists over one that is specifically for if you are using Aida (14 ct or 16ct). Kimberly shows how to stitch over one in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/goOonWmgpNaNja8

[@lisasievers9247]

If you don’t like a lot of variegation why do you have those in your stash?

[@jools3489]

Big decision Kimberley, but I think Steamed Broccoli and spinach

[@kellym517]

I am going to start Santa’s Village and stitch the individually. The pattern calls for 32 count linen. I don’t want to use linen. If I use 16 ct will my project’s final size be a lot larger? I figured it to 9 x 11 in. Is that correct?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello K! It will be the same size because 32 count linen is the equivalent of 16 count Aida. The individual designs will come out to 4.5" x 5"

[@kellym517]

[@kellyhipkins5616]

Wonderful show!!

[@gmmoomoo4]

Hey Kimberly, it's great to see you back. I'm going to be doing Fall on the Farm also and I was wondering with the 16 count do you stitch two over one? I've only stitched on 14 count and would like to try 16 count. Thanks, 😊 Jennifer

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Jennifer! Stitching over one is common for lower counts (16 count and under). Stitching over two is typically for larger count fabric because the holes are a lot smaller.

[@gmmoomoo4]

@@FatQuarterShopFlossTube Thank you, I always get confused 😊

[@faydixon5955]

Kimberly, Flea Market Baskets says the model was stitched on 25 count Cloud Lugana. Is that not correct?

Why do you put the floss on floss drops if you are leaving them on the original cards?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Lisa! Kimberly does that so she doesn't have to write the name of the color and can use the floss drops for other projects. Putting them on floss drops helps to keep her floss together rather than throwing them loosely in her bag.

[@lorinanninga224]

And the floss drops are cute!!!

Whose in charge of marketing that gives free merchandise to flosstube creators to promote fat quarter shop stuff.

[@maryg3143]

$38.70 just for floss. Wow. I have also noticed that conversions for many Classic Colorworks colors don't convert to DMC. It's quite irritating. I know that many of the variegations don't convert and I just make my own choices. So many FQS patterns use CC floss I'm beginning to think I'll have to stop following this channel. It's just too irritating.

[@lynettemayo9391]

This isn’t Kimberly’s chart. This chart is little house needle works. A lot to f Kimberly’s charts use DMC.
