top gun is great because tony scott was like “i want to make a movie about sunsets” and the us navy was like “No you’re gonna make recruitment propanganda for the navy” and val kilmer was like “the studio has tricked me, juilliard trained val kilmer, into being here, so i’m going to portray a closeted homosexual” and tom cruise was like “i’m in a ray bans commercial!”

Current Cross Stitch/Embroidery Tutorial and Pointer Master List

Some tutorials, tips, and pointers I’ve put together this year.

My Parking Method - Keeping multiple threads ‘in play’ as you stitch.  Useful for large patterns with a lot of confetti.

Recording Your Embroidery - Keep that camera steady so your viewer can follow what you’re doing.

Sewing the Edges on Hand-Made Patches - Works best with simple shapes, but can be adapted with practise.

Various Embroidery Mounts - Differences between hoops, scroll frames, Q-snaps, and stretcher bars, with pros and cons for each.

Using Variegated Floss - Different ways to use variegated or overdyed floss, and what each method looks like on the fabric.

Creating Your Own Photo Pattern - Tutorial uses PCStitch, but any software or web app works with this method.

Adding New Floss Colours to PCStitch - New DMC colours will be coming out next month.  Here’s how to add them to your colour library!

Framing Your Embroidery in a Hoop - No glue or tape needed.  Keeps your embroidery nice and tight in the hoop for as long as it lives there.

Marble Dye Method - Hand died fabric made ultra-simple. Just need a bowl and a microwave.  And your dye, of course.

Gridding Fabric with Pens and Floss/Filament - Two methods for gridding your fabric, with pros and cons for each.

Using Stretcher Bars with your Embroidery - Stretcher bars are weird and scary.  Learn how to use them without hurting your embroidery.

Loop Start Method - Who says you can only do a loop start with two strands?  Learn how to do it with three.

Tent Stitch - Learn what it is, and when you want to use it.

Railroading and Laying Tools - Keep your stitches looking nice and even, no matter how many strands you’re using.

Creating Alphabet Charts - Use any font on the internet to create an easily stitchable alphabet chart, in any size you need.

Repairing Torn Fabric - If you tear your fabric while you’re frogging a section, don’t start over.  Fix it.

Photographing Glow in the Dark Floss - This one gives a lot of people trouble.  Learn how to cheat your way through with black lights.

1 over 1 vs 1 over 2 - What’s the difference and when to use each.

Different Fabric Types - Differences between Aida, Evenweave, and Hardanger. 

One-Stranded Loop Start - Yep.  One strand.  Up that start game by getting rid of knots and tangles.

My mom made a pattern request so I knocked this out real fast and I’m offering it free to my tumblr base because I love y’all. I ended up just taking a screenshot of the pdf I’d made, so hopefully the quality hasn’t lost anything in translation.

I also do commissions! Both for patterns and for finished pieces. I always forget to mention that. Email me at thestitchetywitch at gmail if you have any questions or requests.
