Stephanie, thank you so much for showing us how you stitch in-hand. I especially appreciated that you used different fabrics to when stitching in-hand. You confirmed what I was thinking -- you need to find a style of hand stitching that fits you. Jean Farish is a 40 year veteran of stitching in-hand and uses all styles of stitching. She has a great stitch (Victorian stitch) that she uses often and she encourages stitchers to turn their fabrics around (and their patterns) so they can stitch more comfortably. She also says stitching from Right to Left is easier. I have also watch Jean Hicks and Stitchin Mommy to see how they stitch. Sarah of Stitchin Mommy who has noodles of projects stitches in hand just using pick and pull from simple patterns to full coverage. So as you suggested find you own style and keep on practicing. Thank you again for the video! Colleen

Quality thread is a must. I bought a cheap kit from aliexpress and the thread is so poor even stitching this way is difficult,tangles,snares,odd little knots on the thread from stitching this way.

Thanks for this video. I am a beginner on Aida count14. The feel of linen Is awesome but I guesss I can wait to venture onto that. Thanks for the Tips, wish the closeups were clearer so I could see exactly how you stitched. Especially that pin tuck.

Hi Gracie, thanks for watching! I'm glad you mentioned the closeups...I was thinking of refilming as a short, or as a reel on Instagram. The pin stitch will be invaluable to you to learn as you progress. Is there anything else you think I can film more clearly?

I enjoyed your video. I also prefer to stitch in hand, if possible. And I agree, one strand is more comfortable, it lays easily and you don't end up with different lengths towards the end of the strand which is a pain if you have to re-thread the needle. That's one of the reasons I love working with "Coton À Broder" or "Floche" if I can get them, because they're ready to stitch as one strand. The only downside is that of course a loop start isn't possible, but if the fabric and yarn size are a good match (good coverage), I can simply bury the beginnings, and most ends, on the front, under the crosses.

Thank you so much for your comment! I have heard of floche but haven’t had a chance to try it yet. What fabric count do you like to use it on?

Thank for sharing your stitching style. Could you please let me know what the 36 count fabric is. It looks so smooth and even.

Hi Diane, it is 36 ct light mocha from zweigart. It is a beautiful color and less expensive than hand dyed fabric!

I like stitching sewing method in hand just until 16ct… anything above it I need a hoop.

I must be old because my holding hand cramps up whenever I have tried to stitch in hand.
