Flosstube #34 🪡 The Ultimate Cross Stitch Coverage Experiment (1 to 6 Strands!)

Cross stitch coverage experiment comparing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 strands of embroidery floss to discover the best coverage, save thread, reduce stitching time, and create better-looking cross stitch projects. 🧵✨
Have you ever wondered:
🤔 How many strands should I use?
🤔 Does more floss always mean better coverage?
🤔 Am I wasting thread?
🤔 Can I make my stitches look fuller without using more floss?
🤔 Is there a way to save time AND money while stitching?
Well... today we're putting it to the test! 😄
In this video, I'm stitching the same design using:
🪡 1 strand
🪡 2 strands
🪡 3 strands
🪡 4 strands
🪡 5 strands
🪡 6 strands
We'll compare them side-by-side and see exactly how the coverage changes with each additional strand.
✨ Which one looks best?
✨ Which one uses the most thread?
✨ Which one is easiest to stitch?
✨ Which one gives the best value for money?
✨ Which one would I choose for my own projects?
And stay until the end because I'm revealing one of my favourite cross stitch tricks that can help save thread, save stitching time, and potentially save money on larger projects! 💰🧵✨
If you've ever struggled with coverage, fabric show-through, thread consumption, or deciding how many strands to use, this experiment might completely change how you approach your future projects.
So grab your stitching, your favourite drink, and let's experiment together! ☕🌙🪡
