Yep, I'm Still Stitching This BEAST

[@rosemarieweber862]

Double-handed stitching is easier with the dominant hand under the project. This is a beautiful project, and your stitching is lovely.

[@gettheetothestitchery]

Thank you so much! I'll have to give double-handed another try soon!

“everything takes too long, that’s why we do this”😂

[@KathysFlog]

Your work is exquisit. You have so much talent and so much patience. "My right hand was having an existential crisis" lol

[@laurieamato-spivey9777]

You have absolutely inspired me to embroider one of my favorite stories- Wizard of Oz♥️♥️♥️

[@MissingRaptor]

Ooooooo! The Emerald City? That would look beautiful! 💚

[@SubliminalLocks]

Has a Contant creator, your rant about Internet, friends and pronouncing their names is so fucking spot on I feel so seen right now

[@midnightqueen3332]

I am glad that you landed on the Diagonal holding stitch for the rock areas. It looks more rocky and textured. the Bayou stitch would look good in other areas I think where the added texture isnt really needed for effect. Great work so far!

[@gettheetothestitchery]

Thanks so much! Yeah, I was nervous about adding texture, but I'm absolutely loving it!

[@juliathelittle7007]

In my little interlude into needle work in my teens, I remember ready that they wanted me to start from the middle so I think this worked out really well. It is beautiful and a joy to watch.

[@hikingwiththedog6078]

Your project is gorgeous, it's so pretty it's hard to imagine how anyone could do that. Beautiful job.

[@toenikern6914]

Beautiful work! Watching this made me want to set aside my cross stitch and learn how to do embroidery but also made me want to work on my cross stitch. 😅

[@MissingRaptor]

You're tempting me to do an embroidery of the map of Middle Earth. It's not likely to happen because I have tons of other things I'm working on, but you make this feeling super accessible and exciting! Love your videos!

[@tasanijanus7092]

Huzzah and yippee! If it takes twenty years, I'll be with ya 🍿

[@krisvanallen]

Decades ago I took a class, and learned that for satin stitches with 6 strand, it looks really nice if you separate the strands and put them back together, and use a laying tool as well.

[@daalelli]

You read the same way I do! I hear all of the words, and either acknowledge and skip over words I can't pronounce, or make up my own pronunciation (even if it doesn't match the letters in front of me). I haven't heard anyone else describe it this way. My thoughts are also in word form for the most part.

[@daalelli]

The Diagonal Stitch Holding is a beautiful choice!

[@KlingonPrincess]

I use a laying tool to align the fibers while i stitch. I could not double hand with this method. Its looking beautiful!

[@krisvanallen]

I stitch with both handsome but I use my dominant hand (my left) on the bottom. I found it is easier to "aim" the needle.

[@Sarafara7]

I’m so excited to see you finish this!! :D

[@robinwesenberg7599]

I don't have experience with this kind of embroidery but when I do cross stitching, which is obviously different from this, I usually just run my thread ends under the stitching. For starting that means i position the loose end between where the needle is going towards the back and back towards the front of the project. For ending I will run my needle under the back stitching.

[@bodinelouise]

I was so honoured my name inspired a whole minute of this video 😭 And then you just didn't stop hahaha 🥹 I love our brainstorm chats - they're SO helpful! And I agree with Rosemarie, double-handed stitching is easier with the dominant hand under the project. I've found that when I can see what my left hand is doing I'm moving it more effectively whereas my right hand doesn't need that visual assistance.

[@gettheetothestitchery]

Hahaha I'm just glad I pronounced it somewhat right... for a 'Murican! XD But yeah, I had originally practiced double-handed stitching with right hand over and under to see if there was a difference, and I didn't notice any, but... maybe that difference comes in how quickly you adjust to it if you keep practicing. And being able to see your non-dominant hand definitely makes sense.

[@I.m-Me]

11:05 - yup, actually nodded off 😅

[@XxhollyxxpiperxX]

I just found you doing this project and need to see an update 🥰 I went to your insta but i wanna see more 🥰

[@KekoLynn]

I can't wait to see more of this!

[@Vintageredwork]

I love that you keep track!!! So do I😊

[@fantasydesigns4104]

i have another idea for an embroidery project, embroider all the Narnia maps, it's what i am planning to do, one for each book, along with a map for Merlin tv show from BBC and a map of the hundred acer woods, and auradon from Disney descendants.

[@Dairy9661]

I freaking love this!! ❤❤❤

[@stellau3028]

That looks amazing , well done. I just started and struggling with keeping my lines clean. My eyes give out too. Lol

[@gettheetothestitchery]

It can be tough! I'm always trying to get more light in my stitching area to help my eyes out as much as possible.

[@nicnaknoc]

I have to watch the making of a frame cuz I need one 😅 I do audio audio audio visual audio reading too - for years I thought the band Depeche mode was called Depressed mode for that reason and it was humbling AF to be corrected after I had gone on for several minutes on about how much of a fan I am 😬😳😅

[@gettheetothestitchery]

Bahahahahahaha oh my goodness, I feel you there! I will confidently pronounce things wrong all the time, and then when someone corrects me, it's like dang now I have to question everything I thought I knew! XD

[@theyxaj]

How do you remember to start and stop keeping track of time?

[@NanaVonn3]

Did you do a video for the 100 Acre Woods map? I'm curious how you did the french knots without having threads zig-zagging across the back of the map.

[@njcrafting5339]

I was just wondering how far along you were in this piece while I was watching your last video lol. great update!!

[@schoo9256]

I always love these updates! And I know the feeling of not wanting to disturb your pet so you're not able to get up! I do have a question, have you tried double hand stitching with your right hand *under* the fabric?

[@gettheetothestitchery]

I did, originally I tried it in both directions and didn't really notice any difference in speed or comfort. But maybe if I practiced more with the right hand under, it would get there.... if only I could convince myself to take the time! XD

[@youarebymyside]

Same for me with double handed stitching and for "I'm not great with kids." The diagonal stitch looks so neat. I just don't understand the difference between a long stitch with short holding and long and short stitch. Wouldn't it be better than satin? Not talking abiut diagonal pining, it looks really nice.

[@UnderGroundWizard61]

I can't remember if you said it already, but what fabric are you using? I'm curious if you are using a thicker or thiner fabric.

[@gettheetothestitchery]

It's a cotton gabardine, so sturdy-ish but not stiff at all.

[@lkhorvath4]

Have you considered embroidering holiday stockings

[@lynn858]

Was trying to keep my brain slightly occupied while colouring because it was "boring, and taking too long" to do the design I choose. Very much puts it in perspective.

[@EJCMunyard]

Hey Charlie, I do exactly the same thing with words I do not know how to pronounce.

[@erinstenback475]

Have you worked on it anymore!?

[@gettheetothestitchery]

I have - almost daily! I post updates on my IG stories!

[@erinstenback475]

Yay that’s awesome can’t wait until you finish it ! I don’t have Instagram but your work is always stunning, and I’m looking forward to another video :)

[@sysnootles5039]

why not long & short?

[@gettheetothestitchery]

Honestly... just because I personally dislike it! hahahahahaha Long and Short has just never been a favorite stitch for me, so I avoid it whenever possible.

[@IAmCraftingAgain]

100 acre wood! Woohoo!

[@rebeccafindlay9068]

Did you ever finish this?

[@heatherz181]

She's just posted on Instagram - working on the borders.

[@corneleggberry4167]

Audio audio audio big word beginning with "place letter here" audio .

[@juliecain6397]

WORK CENTER OUT...SO YOUR HAND OR ARM IS NOT DRAGGING ACROSS YOUR WORK.

[@lizweiss4599]

I love your work. Very beautiful. But I can’t stay with your videos because ( as most Americans) you talk too much, too much information❤

[@clover3124]

This is a rude comment ❤

[@lizweiss4599]
