Thanks for sharing. I wouldn’t quite call this a how-to just yet, but always nice seeing someone sharing another craft.

This blows my mind the intensity of this video is awesome!

I understand how to do a basic line of continental stitches but I'm wondering how you do intricate areas, where the stitches go diagonally down or up. Is there a certain way of doing these sections? Certain rule?

[@sophiajensen3508]

This was so helpful!! Thank you!

Would be much better if you had a dark background on the table so I could see where you stitch

I am about to start a large EB canvas and like working on a frame but wonder if doing Victorian Cross is it preferable not to use stretcher bars?

[@restylesecrets8251]

I would say more like it's less necessary to use them with that stitch, which has much less tendency to warp the canvas. If you prefer a frame (considering the size of your piece) I would say you'll be fine either way with Victorian Cross.

[@maureenh1785]

Are you wrapping the stitches around the yarn that is running on the underside of the canvas? Is that why the knot in the yarn is done from the top side and so far away from the first stitch?

[@restylesecrets8251]

yes.. it's called a "waste knot". the long thread from knot to start will be covered and secured by pattern stitches, but should also be tack stitched at its end (when you get there) before the knot is cut off.

Hello, I'm very new to needlepoint and embroidery/cross stitch. I've bought some thread and Aida, but I'm confused already, I thought you had to use 2 strands of thread but, you seem to use the whole thing? It Looks very thick? Sorry can you confirm which is correct! Thank You :)

[@lisayantek8867]

Hi...cross stitch uses one or 2 strands. This is needlepoint sp uses thicker floss.

[@tricia1234gm]

@@lisayantek8867 Hi..Thank you very much :)

[@catherineengel4720]

Is there such a thing….. many years ago you could purchase a needle point with the picture already done, and you can work the background? Thats what I’m looking for.

[@bethkoch11]

Interesting question - I remember those kits! I did a lot of needlepoint many years ago, and I'm just getting back into it. I'm finding it a lot harder to find the variety of needlepoint kits that used to be available. It seems like everything today is embroidery or cross stitch. Good luck in your search.

[@squall6789]

Thorough video but oh boy does it need some close ups...

[@barbaraortiz-corliss1920]

need to be closer with the camera so we can see the stitch…..

[@debramccormick455]

Can't really see your stitches.

[@nanarose8484]

You have a lovely speaking voice but we can’t see your stitches at all, not really helpful for a beginner:

[@crisb5816]

Esta no es la técnica correcta para coser este tipo de trabajos.
