WIP Parade #1.5, Because Perfectionism is a Disease

[@beckysmadnessforcrafting1447]

I don’t edit my videos I like watching the ppl that don’t edit. I didn’t come here to watch a perfect edited video I come here to watch you. You did great and are very real. Can’t wait to watch more 😊

[@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher]

Thank you so much! I can’t wait to show you more!

[@SarahsStitchySpot]

Dear Sarah, Sorry I am late to your wonderful party. I want you to take a deep breath and celebrate your first FlossTube and WIP parade. It was wonderful and I enjoy your calming voice. All I could think about is how much I would have loved to work with you. Thank you for sharing looking forward to many more.

[@janelldaley9403]

Excellent job Sarah you did amazing! I look forward to your next Flosstube. You were perfection 🪡🧵💕🪡🧵💕

[@margaretbaker623]

Hi Sarah. Thank you for filming. 🤗 I way prefer unedited videos. You were great! Natural, lovely voice, great vocab, sense of humour... Looking forward to your next one. ⚘️

[@wheretheneedletakesme1048]

Best first flosstube I've seen. Don't change a thing, loved it

[@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher]

Thank you so much. That means a lot!

[@themirrorimagestitcher]

Fantastic first Flosstube 😊 Enjoyed your genuineness & sense of humour . You have a love for cross stitch and shared from your heart. That’s all that matters 🙋‍♀️🇨🇦

[@kathydeel4780]

Hello, Lynn, the Lancashire Stitcher, shouted you out on her flosstube so I thought I'd come on over and see what I was missing. So glad I did. I love your 1.5 and getting ready to watch #2. Just remember you are talking to friends and just showing us what you have been up to. By the way, your stitching is beautiful. 👏👏👏 Happy Stitching. ❤❤❤

[@abarlow86]

Your my spirit sister with your red neck bifocals! Here’s to kindred spirits- I wear mine the same way!🤣 🎊🎊🎊 Great 1.5 video!🎉🎉

[@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher]

Three cheers for more redneck bifocal friends!

[@stitchingscottie4505]

Hi fellow Scottie owner!! I have two Scotties, named Winston and Stryker, and have owned Scotties all my life.We already have a couple of things in common. I enjoyed watching your video. I semi-edit my Flosstube videos and don't worry about it. After watching some, I decided that I have too little time to spare to put out perfect videos and who is perfect anyway? 🤣 I love Shepherd's Bush patterns and have stitched Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Santa is Coming. Also a lot of pillows too. I'm also a big Harry Potter fan too, but haven't stitched any Harry Potter yet. Hope to see more videos from you as you are doing great!!! Happy Stitching! Dottie @ Stitching Scottie

[@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher]

Hi, Dottie! Our first Scottie was Sasha, and I loved her so much! We had to help her cross the rainbow bridge after she got really sick with pancreatitis and I don’t think I’ll ever get over that. My husband knows I am a Scottie lover through and through, so he surprised me with Maggie last year for our 25th anniversary. She was the runt and compared to how big Sasha was, she’s still so tiny! I just got the Scottie biscornu that was designed in your honor and can’t wait to give it a go - it will be my first time stitching one. And like the song from Best in Show goes, everyone loves a terrier. 🥰 We just know that Scotties are the best of them all.

[@katiecampbell6130]

This is a wonderful first video. Very natural delivery and wonderful projects! I love everything you are stitching. I’m right at the time of needing bifocals but I’m going to try bifocal contacts so it will be a secret 😊. You should feel great about putting out a wonderful video that we all get to enjoy! I’m so happy that you fought the anxiety and put this video out. I can’t wait for the next one!

[@jacquelinepassifione8528]

I wear bifocals and always tell the optometrist that I have to take my glasses off when I cross stitch. He said that is ok to do. Awe Mr. Alligator is a very distinguished gentleman. I just read about a 2 1/2-foot alligator named Fluffy who was found by a group of landscapers. Not something you usually see her in PA.

[@Lizbrancat]

Fantastic first video!! I love your WIPs. You did amazingly well, I couldn’t tell you were nervous at all! 💖

[@SarahKingOurStitchingKingdom]

Sarah!!! I'm SO glad you're here! Welcome to the crazy :) Loved seeing all your WIPs. You did fabulous and I can't wait to see more. We need to get together for a stitching day again...one day, right? Talk to you soon! 🦩🦩🦩🦩

[@isweariamstitching]

Hello fellow Sarah! Belated welcome to Flosstube. I think at my next eye appointment bifocals might be in my future. My 18 year old has had transition lenses for a couple years!

[@erinmshipley]

Totally get the anxiety, but you've posted a vitro, so you're one up on me. I love unedited videos because it makes it seem like youre hanging out with a friend.

[@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher]

Thank you! That’s what I’m hoping to achieve - just a visit from a friend. ♥️

[@jonij794]

Good job. So many good designs that you are stitching and I enjoyed your humor. Glad you decided to post this episode in spite of your anxiety.

[@stitchingbytheriver8666]

Hello Sarah, I came over to watch from the traveling stocking stitcher. I loved your stitching . You have so many unique projects . Thank you for sharing them.

[@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@crossstitchjo]

Wow! Love your pattern choices and the decision-making process you go through when you are actively stitching! ⭐️

[@rosestancil444]

Please stop self doubting yourself. It was wonderful.

[@rebeccachapman1231]

I just came across your channel in my recommendations and I just want to confirm with many of the others who commented that your video was great. I am personally glad you don't know how to edit because I often feel that edited videos end up to be very choppy and annoying and move so quickly that I, the viewer, become anxious watching them! :D Your video was more slow-paced and calm by comparison and I really appreciate that as a viewer. I basically just want to see what people are working on and so if a few words get mixed up or if it takes a while to get something in or out of a bag or whatever, that's fine!

[@barbyerke7840]

You are FABULOUS!!! DO NOT SECOND GUESS YOURSELF. I can't wait for your next episode.

[@meganwebb6189]

Loved seeing all of your WIPs. You’ve inspired me to start The Stephen King House at camp this week. I read my first King book in fourth grade. I’m pretty sure I stole it from my parents. 😂

[@nestofpetals]

Morning! New flosstuber here too - you did an amazing job!! Loved seeing all your WIPs - happy stitching. :)

[@CarlaWade-s1j]

Loved your video and your stitching. I'll b back.... here's Johnny. Sorry, couldn't resist. Just got on wait-list for Black stitch needle? Box. You are an enabler. Lol

[@thetravelingstockingstitcher]

Great first flosstube! You have a very natural delivery. I really enjoyed it (and am happy to see somebody other than myself wearing two pairs of glasses at a time!) Would love to see all the stockings you've done (another preference of mine). I read Helter Skelter in high school, too. Looking forward to your next video. I subscribed already, which I usually only do after sampling at least two episodes. --Deb

[@monicaaber5095]

Love your charts and stitching - and such big pieces! Great job! I had done “Red” by Miribilia so understand the time it takes to complete it. I had changed from regular glasses to transitional and it was a game changer for me - especially when stitching where you need to look down while you stitch and the upper parts of the glasses - you look straight ahead - I loved the transitional idea!. Even the eyeglass people said I was handling it very well! Also, just a thought: No need to frog the Krenik stitches in one of your pieces - too much work and will rip your fabric - just start at another point in the fabric or change to another fabric and restitch and reuse fabric for another chart.. just a few thoughts. Hope it helps!

[@sandrafromsydney8192]

You did great, girl!! As a fellow perfectionist I feel where you are coming from! I really enjoyed this video and look forward to more from you - and don’t edit 😊! You do beautiful stitching and I love the range of projects you have. Happy stitching and just breathe and enjoy sharing your lovely work

[@marilynwade614]

Great first flosstube. Your stitching is amazing. I love the variety of your pieces.

[@debramckenzie266]

Great floss tube! Look forward to seeing you again. Liked and subscribed.

[@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher]

Thank you! I hope to have something up soon!

[@dawnbarney2659]

your doing a great job. Hang in there it'll get easier the more you do it. Great projects.

[@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@amanda_stitches]

Your bookshelf makes me so happy!

[@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher]

Thank you!

[@staceyanderson4524]

Lynn from Lancaster stitcher sent me. You did a fantastic job 👍. I really loved the right angle 😅.

[@penny4248]

What a great first video! I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed it! I have a big smile and thank you for that! Your stitching is amazing! I love Mirabilia but have yet to attempt even 1! And I also love people who speak their mind! It makes life so much more interesting! 😂 really looking forward to more videos from you! ❤❤❤

[@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher]

Thank you so much! I was worried that I’d offend everyone between here and there, so it’s good to know someone appreciates it! 😇😇

[@nellekeglansdorp1595]

So, that is what I look like when I‘m stitching! I have my first pair of progressives since a couple of weeks now, but for the 1 over 1 on 28 count I still need to double up on glasses.

[@misschloes-w]

Hello lovely! Welcome to Flosstube! ❤ Your video is wonderful oxox

[@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher]

Thanks, Chloe! Still trying to recover from everything so I can get this next one out together.

[@misschloes-w]

@@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher I need to get mine together too ❤️ can't wait to see yours xo

[@LancashireStitcher]

I really enjoyed your video! I am stitching some of the designs you showed - Royal Holiday and Santa’s Magic for example - and I’ve got Crystal Christmas in my stash. New subscriber and will give you a shoutout on my next video 😊

[@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher]

Thank you ever so much! I’m hoping to get my next one up soon. 😊

[@harleyriderstitcher3951]

Please do Not edit! You are fine! Loved your wips. I think if we were neighbors we would be really good friends! Keep up the great work! We are stitching a lot of the same projects!

[@robynfarrow7925]

I'd love to see all of your stockings!

[@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher]

I have a few that haven’t been sent to the finisher yet, so those will be in an upcoming video. :)

[@TheTwoBayStitchers]

Great video! I love your finish of The Bittersweet Blooms! Your Fruits of Plenty is gorgeous! I have this started. Going to watch your other videos!💜

[@edweeb9002]

Well, I DO have bifocals……and I still wear readers over the top of them when I stitch!!😂 My husband thinks I’m nuts but my eye doc is fine with it. If I have the bifocals made strong enough for me to see my stitching, it’s going to weaken my eyesight overall-so two pairs of glasses it is!! (Or sometimes three….I have been known to forget I also have a pair on top of my head as well…) Enjoyed your video-looking forward to more!

[@suegonzalez6811]

Fabulous job. Love all your WIPs. And great job remembering the fabric, count, and floss used looking forward to the next video. 💜💜💜💜

[@neciatomlinson]

Excellent video! Looking forward to your next one.

[@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher]

Thank you very much!

[@518stitcher3]

Your WIPs look alot like mine. BTW - I refuse to use whisper threads, too painful!

[@DIYAnyone]

DONT REDO ANYTHING, YOU ARE GREAT!

[@lynnxstitchescreates]

Welcome to Flosstube, Sarah 😃

[@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher]

Between Frogwarts and Camp and school starting next week, I chose one of the busiest times to get this up and running. Lol

[@lynnxstitchescreates]

@@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher 😂

[@kerierbe3699]

Oh I think you are really hard on yourself but totally get the anxiety issue!!! Great video and love all your WIPS!! 😊

[@littlenooboocreates]

Welcome to flosstube! Don’t be worried about the editing! I absolutely loved watching this. I understand some of the anxiety and desire to skip parts though. It’s part of why I haven’t recorded in years. I look forward to seeing more! Did you start Frogwarts year four?

[@KristineSearle]

Sarah I think you did a great job with your first video! I can’t wait to see your next one. Happy stitching!

[@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@samanthalunceford8189]

Great job Sarah! This really, really, really makes me want to stitch a mira/pretty lady immediately!

[@krisevans8072]

Great job!

[@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@katcansew]

Love it Sarah. I get the re start thing. I edit slightly but try not to remove too much. Love all the Mira starts and thuis tempts me to start more of them

[@reginaholloway2027]

I do the same thing with my glasses that you do!!! My kids think I’m crazy!!!!! Great video!!!!

[@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher]

Thank you! I’m glad I’m not alone, haha!

[@rustymagoo5936]

You done an excellent job, I highly enjoyed it. Maybe I'm just biased though as a guy who also enjoys stephen king and serial killers 😂 needful things was an under rated gem

[@reginadanner3536]

You did a great job! Your stitching is beautiful!

[@karenpelham7374]

Really enjoyed your video, well done. Your WIPs are fantastic.

[@danalake4645]

I wear bifocals over my glasses too, over progressive trifocals! 😂

[@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher]

Where there’s a will, there’s a way!!!

[@shinglespringsstitcher]

Great first video! Your WIPs are just gorgeous!❤

[@bonniescheffer3154]

Loved your video and your stitching. You did a great job. Just keep doing what you’re doing and the bifocals over glasses love it do the same at night time here at my house Have a great week and can’t wait to see your next one.

[@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@coveredinfloss]

I finally got to watch your video and I am absolutely in love! off to binge watch the rest :)

[@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher]

Thank you so much!!

[@amyjscreations659]

How did we not discuss Stephen King at the retreat? I love his books. They are just the right amount of scary and creepy, while also letting me still sleep at night. For some reason, my brain wont translate the super scary stuff that vividly. Cant watch the movies, but love the books!

[@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher]

Please tell me you’ve at least seen Delores Claiborne. It is FANTASTIC. So well done!!

[@vsews8221]

Loved your first video. I subscribed and hit the “ like” icon. Hope to see you soon!

Thank you! I apparently chose one of the busiest times to give it a go, but I’m hoping to have more up soon!
