Description from YouTube
We had the pleasure of the lovely Jen @JensStitchyCorner_Flosstube join us for a chat about her love of Full Coverage cross stitch. If you watched our last episode you will already know that Lynsey and I have been tempted by a big project! our first step into large scale stitching. So we were asking for all the hints and tips, what fabrics to use, floss choices, organisation and how do you manage a project that has no end in sight. 

We have still been having a few issues with recording setings which we do think are now resolved but unfortunately the episode didnt record in gallery view. But our recording with Jen was so much fun that we couldnt possibly think of not sharing it with you all. 

Please do leave us a comment if you enjoyed watching, are you joining along with a full coverage piece yourself? We have created a group chat on instagram so if you would like to be added to the group just pop us a message and we can add you...cant wait to see your progress.
