Summary AI

Jessie returns after a long absence with an update covering her stitching from March and April. She begins by showing her first finish of 2026, 'Move Forward in Love' by Modern Folk Embroidery, stitched on 40ct Newcastle linen in chickpea from Color & Cotton, with a Threadworx variegated border. She then discusses progress on 'Snow Castle' by HAED, which she worked on during a trip to Las Vegas and in her Milestone Manor game, reaching 61% completion.

Jessie explains a major change of plans: she has dropped WIPGO for herself (though she will continue to host it) and abandoned her previous rotation structure. She has adopted a wheel-based rotation inspired by other Flosstubers, with eight full coverage projects and one non-full coverage project on the wheel. Each project is stitched to the next even thousand stitches, with a goal of either a page finish or the next even 10,000. She also introduces a secondary focus project system, with April as the secondary focus for the rest of April and Snow Castle from May.

She walks through each project on the wheel, including 'Over the River', 'Cherry Blossom Breezes', 'Summer Montage', 'Little Wings', 'Touching the Autumn Sky', 'Alice in a Dali Dream', 'Ivory Crow', and 'Haunted House'. She shares progress photos, stitch counts, and details about fabric, threads, and project bags. She also discusses her upcoming new start, 'Kalena' by Margaret Morales, which she will begin on May 1st as a max color version.

  • First finish of 2026: 'Move Forward in Love' by Modern Folk Embroidery, stitched on 40ct Newcastle linen in chickpea from Color & Cotton.
  • Major plan change: Jessie drops WIPGO for herself and adopts a wheel-based rotation with eight full coverage projects and one non-full coverage project.
  • Snow Castle by HAED reaches 61% completion, with a page finish and row finish in March.
  • April by HAED reaches 48.67% completion, with two page finishes and a 10,000 stitch goal for its 10th birthday.
  • New start planned for May 1st: 'Kalena' by Margaret Morales, max color version, with 234 colors.
  • Touching the Autumn Sky by Mirabilia is close to finish; Jessie ordered Miyuki Delica beads to replace the called-for Mill Hill bead.

{f a q} Frequently Asked Questions
What frame do you stitch on?
- I use a Millennium frame from NeedleNeeds in the U.K.

How do you film your videos?
- I use Final Cut Pro X (Mac) for filming and editing.

What are all of those threads hanging down from your HAED?
- I stitch full coverage using a technique called parking. I highly recommend tutorial videos from Carolyn Mazzeo to learn the technique. If you want to see more about how I do my diagonal blocks, see my full coverage demo playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi5s2tHW0BxM8SOzgrTCtJeM8O4FjFaTo
