LIVE: Kimberly Begins Stitching Barn Sweet Barn! - Stitchy Talk #14

[@janadachingwa9234]

I love to hear you talk and watch you stitch. Take care and be safe. Walk in Peace.

Oh my … I was sitting watching this video and was stitching the same thing as you. I had tried to stitch in hand doing the pink center, but I frogged it all our because I thought it looked awful! I had first used a six inch Q snap, but really didn’t like that. So on February I changed to a six inch tension hoop. I never thought to try and stitch in hand using the hoop. It worked amazing and stitches looked much better than when I tried the center square in hand. Amazing! Thank you so much! I am in northern IN waiting on a big snow storm the next two days. 10-20 inches! We are at the grands home so the littles are fun! Hoping on stitching tomorrow!

I also love the cross stitch calculator. It is the best. I am a beginner and wish this pattern was a stand alone as I tried to make a copy and tape it together and it is not showing the different colors that well. I understand it is already in the pattern. But I would buy the stand alone pattern as well.

[@C12133]

Thank you, Kimberly, I enjoyed watching you stitch while I worked on the Designer Mystery BOM. I love watching true crime too!! The most surprising one that I have watched was out of Austin. That was about a woman who just had a baby that they both disappeared. Thanks for everything, looking forward to tomorrow’s video!

[@dianechristenson9647]

Being new to Cross Stitch I bought a pattern from a local store after watching all the designs Kimberly presented in a prior KZbin. It was taking me forever to even get a little bit done. Boy am I glad I watched this video, no wonder I was doing it all wrong. Thanks for all you show everyone! Got my supplies in for Barn Sweet Barn, so I am now excited about getting started. Hopefully I will complete in a timely matter and be ready for the next one.

[@lisacicchetti9027]

I started your pattern Ode to Britain yesterday in celebration of the Queen's 70th Accession Day. I'm really enjoying the stitch. Thank you for the wonderful design!

[@rebeccamills4673]

Enjoyed your video! I've been cross stitching for 30+ years. I started out stitching in hand, but as I got older I found that stitching on roller frames, with a lap or floor stand, was a lot easier and faster. When using a stand, you can stitch with two hands (one in front and one in back) making the stitching go faster. I still use embroidery hoops (I also do embroidery projects). I usually take the project out of the hoop when I'm done for the day or at least loosen the screw. It is sometimes hard to remove the circle rings in the fabric.

[@katharinehertenstein139]

Thank you for the info. I really enjoy Fat quarter shop and of course you. I have learned so much from you. Thanks again Kimberly. Katharine Hertenstein.

[@trishcarpenter8934]

Thank you, Kimberly, for your wonderful videos. I'm a HUGE fan of True Crime also! Discovery+, Oxygen and ID channels, HLN Forensic Files, Dateline, 48 Hours, 20/20. I've been watching Snapped for years and years now! That's what I watch while stitching. I'm stitching the Feb. Barn Sweet Barn now, and I'm going to try this sewing method. My current style is to do one cross stitch at a time.

[@margaretbaker623]

Love stitchalongs! Thanks, Kimberly :-) I listen to audio books.

[@michellestephens2613]

Love Stitchy Talk it's like watching a friend cross stitch and just chat about everything, brilliant xx I am having trouble with my eyes when stitching last few weeks and after watching you use 10 count I have ordered some to try so thank you. Hope your boys got to see Clay Thompson and had a great time either way. Your daughter sounds sensible about boys, ha, ha.

[@lindamorse6188]

Thank you for showing close ups of your stitching in hand with a hoop. Very very helpful. I've wanted to try stitching in hand and will do so now. Thank you.

[@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669]

I found Needle Minders very helpful. Some of the bigger ones are heavy on the fabric. So, I put the larger, heavier ones on my pattern, that is on a stand. Love needle minders' choices; they are very colorful!!!

[@SharonCarbine]

Great tip about stitching over a "sad" looking stitch with a single floss strand, Kimberly! Thank you!

[@myrnajones4512]

Loved the video. Your stitching is very beautiful. Thanks for all you do for the crosstitch community.

[@ginacates6110]

I love watching Joe Kenda and Cold Cases, it's amazing what they can do today that couldn't be done to solve cases years ago. Enjoyed stitching with you!

[@deborahcrottylikerottie7684]

Hi Kimberly. I never get tired of watching you stitch and talk about stitching! I also love crime stories and all kinds of sports - especially football. I also love college basketball, the Olympics and tennis. 🐲🐲🐲

[@tammycoyle8512]

Kimberly, Consider going to Yosemite. It is the most amazing place. You can rent cabins or stay in the lodge there which is absolutely beautiful. I promise you that you will thank me. It's my favorite national park. So much to see and do. I believe you can still ski in February and March there.

[@catg8063]

Thanks for the great tip on fixing a funky stitch! Will try...

[@GIL3969]

Had so much fun watching your video!! I have learned so much from you!!

[@thisiskatiebrown]

Thanks for doing a video on 10 count! I did Hey Pumpkin on 10 count (my first try with 10 count) and it drove me crazy because I couldn't get my stitches to lay very nice. I feel like it's my worst piece. I'm glad to know it's not just me, and that it's just the nature of that fabric. I might try it again with a hoop to see if I get better results. I appreciate all the videos and tips you provide for us!

[@SammiJarrad]

I pre load needles on the prism you showed me how to make. It’s so convenient. I still feel like a beginner, but I really love cross stitch. 💜💜

[@nanettechopin4827]

I think I see how you do the fast stitching. Interesting. If I use a 14 Aida cloth and only need 2 strands can I thread the needle like this with the loop? I really need to watch more of your videos.

[@janwilliams4874]

I live in Flagstaff, the city closest to the Grand Canyon and you do NOT want to go there during spring break...it will be too cold!

[@Dori23Stitches]

I watched the replay and I loved watching you stitch! I also watch true crime lately or Hallmark movies. I also recently started listening to my audio books while stitching. I agree, I have to have something on! I was stitching while watching this (at work haha). Thanks for all the tips! :)

[@pamward7676]

Love cross stitch calculator. I’ve made it a favorite on my ipad

[@ninagillenwater4502]

Thank You!!!

[@bethwilson3582]

I was so happy to see you fix that stitch - I did that last night and I’ve been feeling so guilty for not redoing it! It felt like cheating but It looks great!

[@terryblair966]

I love all your projects. I can do all types of handwork but for some reason I cannot knit. I cannot keep my stitches even. I gave up on that.

[@GIL3969]

Hi can you help me better understand the tip Kimberly shared about fixing a wonky looking stitch? So do use two pieces of thread in your needle but no loop? And do you come up in the bottom left hole and go down in the bottom right hole of the stitch ? Couldn’t see exactly?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello GIL3969! You can use a loop if you'd prefer but it is not required. Just come up through back in one hole, go back down in same hole through front and then pull your stitches straight.

[@A.M.Taylor55]

Hi! I was watching a FlossTube over the weekend and the ladies were talking needles. They said needles by EdMar are the closest they have found to the Pat Carson ones!

[@sheriking4041]

Ok. Please explain to me how a hole in the ground is booked up. The Grand Canyon can’t be booked up , I don’t understand

[@debbiethomason8593]

Will you sell the 12 colors of the finishing fabric alone as a bundle?

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Awesome Kimberly❤️

[@schleepea]

My cousin is a detective in Las Vegas and he is interviewed and part of one of the Snapped episodes. It’s the one in Henderson.

[@michellefrothingham4275]

K… funny you are” no way we can all be in one room on a cruise ship and i would not trust my children with their own room… they would be busting out a WWE move and end up in the infirmary”. I had a good laugh 😂. Thank you for the fun and informative SAL… 👋

[@tflickinger5519]

I am a new subscriber to your channel and I am waiting for my Barn Sweet Barn pattern to come in the mail to get started with you guys. I have watched a lot of your videos and just watched this one above about the Barn Sweet Barn. I am curious ... What do you put under the cross stitch when it is finished to keep it in place and also what did you use to put the fabric around the backing of the cross stitch piece before putting it on your farmhouse? I hope that is making sense. I've been looking for a video to show that process but have not had any luck. Thanks for answering my question and I am truly enjoying your channel. 😀

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Tammy! We used Sticky Board to mount both pieces.

[@nanettechopin4827]

It appears that you are going vertical in the holes - or am I missing something. The stitching is too small for me to see if there is a cross stitch X. Maybe I need to go back and re-watch the university. Is this because it is 10 Aida?

[@margie6534]

Is it possible to get the March colors? I would like to have the current month to stitch up the following month so I am ready to go on the 1st. I hope that makes sense.

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Margie! We release the colors on our blog at the beginning of that month: bit.ly/3rfwVod

[@terryblair966]

I like spring tension hoops. I watch mystery shows, Virgin River, the new show on Netflix with Kirsten Bell.

[@GIL3969]

Hi- I just purchased the flea market basket cross stitch pattern. Waiting for it to arrive. Is the larger monthly cross stitch star pattern included with that? Or is that a separate purchase? Confused?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello GIL3969! They are the same pattern. The Barn Sweet Barn SAL is the center star of the Flea Market Baskets pattern on 10 count fabric: www.fatquartershop.com/daisy-18-18-vintage-cloth

[@glennahackney7292]

Where did you all get the grey stripe twill ribbon attached to the piece?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Glenna! It was a ribbon that we already had but do not remember where we bought them from.

[@pamking8802]

Kimberley, can you remind me where you bought your stitchey chair (w/recliner?)at home. I also, have a bad back w/sciatica. Thank you in advance.

How large is the square of fabric that you are using?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Katharine! We have a calculator here that can help: www.fatquartershop.com/cross-stitch-calculator

[@peggysteinbronn]

How do I get the center pattern by itself from the Flea Market Basket pattern?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Peggy! The center is not available separately bit.ly/3KYataZ

[@peggysteinbronn]

@@FatQuarterShopFlossTube I know it is not available separately. I have the pattern. I guess I didn’t ask my question clearly enough. Do you have any recommendations on how to put the pattern together so I can see the center all at once- not in 4 separate sections. Thanks for any advice you can give me. I love this project-am getting a late start on it.

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Sorry for the confusion. You can try taping the pages together.

[@Gen1-Rev22]

Whatever happened to Lily? I have not heard or see her? Have you tried using Nurge hoops and lap stand? They’re great ! You can stitch with both hand and not feel tired. The hoop is thick which will keep the tension.
