Flosstube #73 - I Don't Like Chaos Stitching

Summary AI

In Flosstube #73, Stitch Man Darcy films at 1am after an evening watching the Blue Jays. He begins by addressing the US/Canada trade situation, reassuring his American friends and customers that his fabric shipping and prices have not been affected by the recent tariffs. He also jokes that the weak Canadian dollar makes his Etsy shop look surprisingly inexpensive to UK buyers. He then moves on to stitching updates. He shows a turtle he stitched in his mid-20s, an Alice-themed project, and a new forgiving design of his own. The main WIPs are Sunflower Cottage and Jimmy Stewart, the latter serving as his market-day project now that he can use Pattern Keeper on a tablet. He explains that he dislikes 'chaos stitching' and prefers to work in strict sections, filling in around 30 10x10 squares at a time rather than jumping around the chart. He mentions fellow flosstubers emmaxstitching, Modern Folk Embroidery and KayleeCrossStitch, and says he hopes to have Jimmy Stewart finished by Stitch North next year. He plans to return with another video in early October.
