Stamped Cross Stitch for Absolute Beginners - a How To Guide

[@martaculp6742]

You should never apologize, you are teaching people like me ( who know nothing), I am grateful. Don't apologize and thank you!!!

[@AngietheCraftnado]

Thanks Marta, I’m glad you found it helpful. Happy stitching!

[@JoelleAGodfrey]

This twice. You did fine. This was a wonderful explanation with a great tip on how not to have to hide a loose thread.

[@leannelayton9431]

Excellent tutorial!! Made for absolute beginners!! You were great & explained things beautifully! - Thank-you!!

[@sarahcharlesworth1495]

When you said at the start that this was for people who knew nothing about cross stitch I was like "perfect!" I didn't even know the tread was called floss LOL. So this was perfect for me. You explained everything thoroughly and slowly so I found it easy to understand and keep up. I also appreciate you saying the "proper" way and your way. With all crafts it's great to know the correct method but we all know we do things our own way and often that is better for us so I like to see both ways. You did a great job. Thanks very much.

[@agnesquigley2556]

I really appreciate you showing me about how to work a printed cross stitch I have had questions and have asked people but got no help thanks to you I now know what to do for a successful project.😂

[@RitaHaselbarth]

this was a perfect introduction to cross stitching for the beginner. Thank you so much!!!!!

[@Sharpclaws]

Thank you so much for this! I'm a beginner and all the other videos made it seem so overwhelming. This was so well made and really showed me how to do this!

[@traciemac9533]

I agree. I was about to give up on the idea but this video makes it seem doable. Thank you for addressing lefties. I watched too many videos an you're the first person to mention how a left handed person may work the stitches.

[@Mrsg730]

Thank you so much. I bought one of these kits and as a beginner I was totally confused. This video explained it perfectly 🙏🏼

[@Butterflie689]

OH MY GOODNESS!! Thankyou soooo much! I just got my first kit and I had no idea how to get started! You have helped me immensely! Can't wait to finish my project

[@deborahhamsho4799]

I love your detailed explanation to decode the package labels and size of kits etc. nice teaching. Ty

[@JacquelineMiddleton-l9i]

Thank you for a brilliant video I'm a real beginner I love the way you explain, and the little mistakes that you made cheered me up Wonderful

[@AngietheCraftnado]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@carolblakeley2671]

Thank you for the video. I haven’t done any cross stitching for 35/40 years. So this was a good refresher. Especially with the loop start I have never seen it before. Well done.

[@emthomas2316]

Best beginners cross stick video thus far. And I have viewed several.Thank you

[@HopeNelson-qx5xz]

This video was SO helpful!!! thank you so much! It helped me learn for the first time and to teach my little sis who wanted to learn first.

[@impym9033]

Thanks for leaving the flub in, actually. My mind wandered at the wrong time and then I got what the end result was going to be but because you went back and did it again (instead of just editing the flub out) I grasped it right away the second time. You eased my brain into it and I appreciate it!

[@christiekaelber8800]

This was a great video and I love your tips. I'm super green at this so it was very helpful to know the differences between 11 and 14 count

[@theloungew...annette]

You did an amazing job. I will be doing my very 1st stamped cross stitch soon and your video helped me understand what I'm getting myself into. Thank you

[@julietraynor3010]

This was the best tutorial I have watched yet! You made it simple and easy to follow. You are a great teacher, thank you so much!

[@LeadAllSoulsToHeaven]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. For someone who's never cross stitched before (or any needlework besides a hem) I appreciate you being real about the "textbook" stuff and not a cross stitch snob. This gives me flexibility to get familiar with just doing it, and finding what works for me xoxo. Thanks for making this less daunting!

[@KeanuReevolution]

Thank you! You were very considerate of the camera, and this explained things so well! I was nervous to start my first kit so this really helped me :)

[@claireaisthorpe6349]

This is brilliant. It's the best one I've found. Clear description and advice. I'm not so scared to try the kit I've got! Thank you ❤

[@ladyhecate9450]

Wonderful! Thank you. I am a beginner in cross stitch and went for the stamped rather than counted. When I looked at the material of my stamped, the color of threads were completely wrong. You explained it so nicely of how the color chart works, and I understood. You did a wonderful job. Thank you.

[@AngietheCraftnado]

Glad you found it helpful! Thanks, and happy stitching!

[@plauditecives]

Thank you. Very useful. I love videos whose premise is that you know nothing about the craft. Best way to start.

[@johnnyangel1020]

This was so awesome and easy to understand . Other videos were too fast and not close enough for me to see Thank you for your time and God bless! Erma

[@wanaogilvie5191]

You can't be any better expert, you're the BEST teacher or u-tuber for me cause I had no idea how to start my first printed cross stitches. 👍👏 I'll recommend your video to anyone who wants to learn about cross stitching. I wholeheartedly thank you and thank you again. You're the best ! 🤗😽👍👏

[@AngietheCraftnado]

That is so sweet of you to say. Thank you so much!

[@TracySackman-v4h]

I a beginner, and thoroughly enjoyed your video!, I feel confident to give this a go, I have a small kit , that I am going to do for a little xmas present for my daughter.... Thank you so much!

[@AngietheCraftnado]

Wonderful! I hope she loves it.

[@WinterWitch01]

Thank you, my daughter and I are absolute beginners and so overwhelmed (both have ADHD) so you’ve saved us and hopefully we can figure this out

[@sonniecampbell1788]

Great video - thanks! The tip for securing thread with a loop is so good to know! Now cross stitch doesn’t seem to be so difficult to me. Thank you!

[@Egyptiandragon]

i absolutely adored the fact that you didnt edit it!!!!! i just started embroidery and my partner got me a doxie printed cross stitch kit( since

[@LolaRyck]

Good idea to keep your mistake in ( when doing the loop method). That helps people who have no idea what they're doing see that even seasoned stitchers mess up. It's more appealing and comforting when teachers mess up. It also gives you a way to teach how to fix a problem :)

[@ludaz.4339]

It's such a great video! I never have done cross stitching and always wanted to learn. I have just gotten an idea and did not know where to start. This is great for beginners like me. Instructions are so clear! Thank you!!

[@lauracrimson]

Coming back 11 months later. I've started my own. Maybe a little bigger than I should have started with, but I got excited by my pattern, which is a spring scene with an English cottage. One stitch at a time. I did start out with the 'loop technique' but switched to making knots on the bottom of my thread, works better for me personally. But I do use a hoop still, which helped with working but also doing the pattern in stages. Helps with my motivation. Thanks again so much for this tutorial. I love working on my pattern! 🙂

[@nikki-qb7iq]

This is the best intro video I’ve been able to find. LOVE that you explained how to thread your needle - I think it seems so obvious to a lot of cross stitch KZbinrs that they tend to forget to explain it, lol.

[@lisalashes47]

No need to apologise, you did a brilliant job. As this is my absolute first time learning how to cross stitch, i made a really good first try, thanks to you😊😂. Btw, thank you so much for mentioning Left handed ppl. I think the world forgets not everyone is right handed!😢 Thanks for this great video, youv got me started on a great journey. X

[@diamondpaintwithd5066]

I am just thinking about starting my very first Crosstitch project, and I literally had no idea how anything worked. I’ve watched a couple of videos, but by far this broke it down for me in such simple terms that I feel I have a really good basic knowledge of what everything means. Thank you. Very helpful!

[@estherwolf4354]

I am not new to cross stitch, I used to do counted cross stitch, I've been doing diamond dots, but I saw advertising for stamped crossstitch so I wanted to try it, I love your tutorial very helpful thank you

[@katiehenry7]

I'm excited to start my project! This is the best tutorial and informational video that I've watched in regards to this type of cross stitch! Thank you! ♥

[@craftingwithjudi]

Hi Angie!!!! You are fantastic! I just started my first cross stitch and it's because of YOU and this very simple to follow video. Is my first project perfect, no, but you got me started and I love it! Thank you!!! 😊

[@vessiecakes]

How should we establish a floss card please?? Absolute beginner

[@marthaluciadepaul8675]

You did an amazing job. Your video has been one of the best I have seen so far, and it is helping me a lot with two projects that I want to finish for my grandkids. Thank you for that.

[@Princess.Babosa]

So excited to get started with cross stitching, I've always loved hand stitching random stuff I've the tears to add color or attach patches to my stuff. There's something about it that calms my mind

[@amyellison1589]

This video is perfect even if you mess up. Just what I needed to know. Thank you so very much.

[@KimWilliams-rk3lu]

so glad I came across your video before I started my first project. 🙌🏽very helpful- thank you!

[@TaylorVero]

Yay thank you for this! I want to get back into cross stitching again after 20 years not doing it!! I only ever did counted cross stitch before and wanted to learn about stamped cross stitch and this really helped. ❤

[@AngietheCraftnado]

Thank you. I love counted as well, but sometimes it’s nice to just mindlessly stitch without having to count. Hope you are enjoying it.

[@elisawestvirginiamountainm1019]

Thank you for posting this. I have done counted cross stitch for years, but never did a stamped kit. I found one that is absolutely perfect to hang, but I have zero idea where or how to start. This video was great and so helpful.

[@elisawestvirginiamountainm1019]

Does it matter which direction your x's go? On counted, I do top left to right bottom, then top right down to bottom left. Is that ok?

[@ilovemyryan7]

Oh my goodness thank you so much for this!! My daughter had a small kids cross stitch kit that she’s been working on and I thought that seemed fun so I got one of the 11ct ones like in the video and was so overwhelmed 😂 I figured it out pretty well but kept second guessing myself since I had never done it before. You’re video was so helpful! The questions I did have you addressed every single one in this video! I was so excited! So thank you!

[@MabruBlack]

Thank you so much! I’m trying stamped cross stitch for the first time and I had no idea how to proceed. You were so informative and clear with your explanations that I feel ready to start my project. ❤

[@michellew3934]

Thank you for this! This is exactly what I was looking for, someone who gave information on how to start for people who know nothing about cross stitch.

[@jade7372]

Thanks for the video! I was looking for someone to step by step show how to do this! Also I love your nail polish!

[@jenlafortune7492]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Never apologize for being human. It was very helpful and help me not just throw my new project in the trash😂

[@rachelpikus1967]

Thank Tou for a wonderful tutorial. And pleas le don’t apologize. I’m just starting cross stitching and even mistakes are valuable learning tools for me. Also you make it so easy to learn and not overwhelming. You did a great job all around. Thanks

[@AngietheCraftnado]

Thank you so much!

[@juliestanley3614]

Thank you for sharing your skills! And for explaining each step thoroughly! I feel like I understood all, and can do this. I love how patient you sound when you are speaking, because it in turn, makes me calm and patient. I'm excited to begin. Awsome video, many thanks!

[@jst_elaf]

Thank you so much for this video it explained a lot to me as a zero experienced in cross stitch ❤❤

[@AngietheCraftnado]

I am so glad it helped! I hope you have fun with your first project!

[@lauracrimson]

Good god I love your explanations! No fuss, no muss, plain and simple. Thank you for this great tutorial!

[@Debra-c7h]

You are the greatest! I purchased my first printed cross stitch and was so confused. You explained it so well that I understood what to do. I also subscribed to you in case I have any more questions questions!

[@sunmoonlove144]

Angie! Are you trying to lead me astray? This tutorial is so good that I want to start stitching on top of the other stuff I already have and my place is too small, I don’t have room for anymore hobbies🤣😂🤣

[@debworkman5616]

Thank you for this so much Angie. I'm just getting back into cross stitching after many many many years. My problem is trying to get it into the embroidery hoop. It takes all my muscles! I finally just gave up and started doing it in hand however that's very hard when you have a larger canvas. You did a great job on your tutorial. I love all of them. Keep up the good work! 🌟🌟 Two gold stars for you LOL

[@AngietheCraftnado]

I will always talk about more and more crafts! LOL!! I have crafting ADD!

[@AngietheCraftnado]

@@debworkman5616 It can be tough to get it into the hoop at first. Try softening up the canvas a bit first by rolling it up back and forth and see if that makes it any a easier. Thank you so much! I was so nervous!

[@chollywollie]

Excellent video for an absolute complete beginner. Thank you 😊

[@margaritavelazquez7437]

I absolutely loved this video! I’m a beginner have been looking for a tutorial that explained everything about stitching and you definitely nailed it thank you 🙏🏻

[@joanietritschler9862]

Hi I ran across your channel I’m a cross stitcher . I never knew that here were stamped cross stitch projects. I like that idea. I think I’d like to try one of these. So much fun

[@AngietheCraftnado]

They’re just so relaxing and easy! I love a lot of the counted patterns, but the ease of the stamped kits makes it hard to go back to all that counting. Lol

[@katez7412]

Love your personality! Made it so fun to watch the video! Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@AngietheCraftnado]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@craftykat]

Thank you for this. It's been years since I did a cross stitch and I've completely forgotten how, lol.

This was very helpful thank you. I do have a question how do I know when I have to do different stitches like the half stitch or a back stitch etc..

Thank you for all the simple instructions! It foes not look so overwhelming now !!!

[@MichelleS-Gamer]

I have the same DIY kit and started with 4 strands and wasn't happy with the look so i kept it to 2 stands- well one thread doubled over. (1 over 1) i suppose is the way to say it. I'm very new to this and have no clue whether i said that correctly, definitely thinner for the size but it looked more delicate for the design chosen. I wish I found your video before I started. Thanks for the info 😊

[@michelehanley4150]

Thank you so much. This was a fantastic video and I feel more comfortable starting my project.

[@lew0017]

Thank you, this made it simplified for me, I appreciate it.

[@carmensk7507]

This is an amazing video for beginners like me. I just know a little bit about it so your video was beneficial. Do you also have a video explaining what to do when the project requires different kinds of cross stitches for example half stitches or other stitches?

[@laurence9695]

Thank you! That numbering is so weird compared to the canvas, having a completely different number. I just couldn't get my head around that. Thank you. I got it!

[@ktilleyhappiness]

I think you have done a fantastic job.

[@gmr3467]

I found this beginner tutorial very helpful. I have been curious as to what a stamped cross stitch was and how to start it. Thank you for the video and for explaining a lot of the terminology. Later I would love to learn how to crotchet. Do you have a beginners guide to that craft?

[@StageManagerMathew]

Thank you for the wonderful info! I just got a stamped kit and appreciate this tutorial! I am curious how you know when to use a full stitch vs a half stitch vs any of the other stitches. I'm assuming since my kit makes no specific mention, that they're all full stitches? There is a chart that shows what stitches exist but no correlating info on the fabric of when to use different ones. Thanks again!

[@morganprecious51]

Thank you for showing us how to do it. Praying 🙏

[@terrymazur8085]

This is such an amazing tutorial ❤ thank you!!

[@lilred30022]

I just ordered a Christmas stamped cross stitch. I understand everything so far, but on my instructions there is 7 different stitches. Which are all easy, and that's fine, but how do you tell which ones to use throughout the pattern? I wish I could add a picture so you would know what i'm talking about.

[@manonmorin-thomas1556]

Good job! I plan to learn this I understood you easy ..thank you

[@michelegeiger520]

Surely you must have more black floss for all the black area? Experienced cross stitcher asking 😊. Nice job on the tutorial!

[@Conspirazy]

Thank you so much for teaching us how to do this!

[@wendyokarma2307]

Thanks so much for this video. I really liked your tip about when you have to use two threads/floss, I'm definitely going to remember that and use it. I've done cross-stitch before, but always the counted cross-stitch. I just ordered my first stamped one & was wondering if it was the same or not. For the 11 count one (which is what I'm going to be doing), should I soak that when I'm done with my project as well? If so, should the water be hot or warm or what? Should I let it just dry overnight? Do I need to add soap when I soak it? Thanks so much for your help and I found this very helpful 😊

[@diamondpainting_clare3528]

You explained that perfectly. I'm not a cross stitcher any more but it was fun. I'm taking up tapestry am I crazy? For sure I love being crazy 🤪🤪 xx

[@AngietheCraftnado]

I tried tapestry! Had a hard time manipulating that big stiff canvas. I would love to finish the one I started but I don’t know if it’s something I would get really into. I wish you the best of luck/. And no, you’re not crazy! Look at who you’re talking to….the more crafts the better!

[@diamondpainting_clare3528]

Apart from scrapbooking that's a nono right xx

[@ma.crisabrasaldo2267]

Hi Angie. I'm a beginner here. I appreciated this video so much. Just asking on how do you do with circles and dots symbols?

[@vessiecakes]

But how do we establish the floss card? Do we just do each colour the whole way through one at a time???

[@karenbellfield5763]

Thank you. I enjoyed your lesson.

[@wendyjones4777]

Perfect tutorial video thank you.
