In this week's flosstube video, Mel shares her stitching progress across a busy week of wheel-spin projects and focus pieces. She explains her preferred stitching methods, including stitching on 20 count Aida 2 over 1 full cross or 28 count evenweave 1 over 1 full cross, always with DMC thread and using the parking technique. She notes that while stitching out threads can be slower initially, it speeds up when picking up parked threads in subsequent rows. Mel also discusses her 'focus on a finish' pieces, which she stitches for 500 stitches each week, and her 'bonus stitching' project, which she has renamed based on a suggestion from another flosstuber.
