What is Cross Stitch Fabric Count and Why do you Need to Know?

[@helenaMe325]

I'm going through your beginner videos and each one is a revelation! You have an excellent teaching style and it makes it all so clear. Thank you. Now to the next one.... 😀😀

[@catkinandlillie]

Wow, that's so lovely of you to say, and it means a lot to know you appreciate the way I teach things, so thank you 😊

[@TheStitchingOwl]

Very clearly presented. You have confirmed what I have discovered in my stitching chair.

[@catkinandlillie]

Thank you 😊 Good to know you've found the same as me.

Thank you for an informative video. I’ve often thought I would like to use a different size fabric, but have never been able to figure that out! Your video has now opened many stitchy doors. Looking forward to the next video 💜

[@catkinandlillie]

Yay! That's great news that my video could help you with this and hope you have fun fabric swapping 😄

[@theintuitivestitcher9336]

Always interesting and worth watching! Some of us forget or have never been taught. Always worth watching 😊 Thank you!

[@catkinandlillie]

Thank you 😊 Glad you found it interesting 😄

6:12 I feel like I'm back in school! 🤣 (🙋‍♀️ When is our homework due, and will there be a test at the end? 🤯) 9:37 I can hear every maths teacher I ever had, telling me "this will come in handy one day..." 🙄😆 ...Phew, I made it to the end! Great video, but now I need a cup of tea and a good lie-down. 👍

[@catkinandlillie]

Definitely no homework or test 😂 And yes, grab that cuppa and lie down if you need it! What can I say...maths will do that to you 😂

[@TheHannahC]

this was really helpful, thank you.

[@catkinandlillie]

You're so very welcome 😊

Thank you so much for a very informative and well presented video. I am amazed at your skill at mathematics but you would need to be with designing your own patterns. I have learnt a lot from this video. I will stick to the stitch calculators on the computer as my maths is not nearly as good as yours. Thank you so very much.

[@catkinandlillie]

Thanks so much! Those online calculators are super useful...I can do the maths but I still use them 😂

[@sunnykat2762]

You need to know…that way you can get the right amount of fabric for your project!

[@catkinandlillie]

Yes absolutely!
