Summary AI

In this special Jolly July Christmas edition of Flosstube, the mother-daughter duo behind Tangled Floss Stitchery share their Christmas-themed WIPs and finishes. They begin by answering a viewer's question about an affordable alternative to the Apple Pencil for marking cross-stitch patterns on an iPad, recommending a budget-friendly stylus and linking to a tutorial on their channel. The hosts then showcase several finished ornaments, including pieces stitched on 4-inch hoops from Hobby Lobby and framed ornaments from 123 Stitch, and discuss their love for variegated threads and specialty fabrics.

  • The hosts share a budget-friendly alternative to the Apple Pencil for marking patterns on an iPad.

  • The duo mention their preference for stitching on 20-count fabric, especially for over-one projects.
  • They plan a future tutorial on using variegated threads.

Wooden scroll frames - 

https://amzn.to/4aYWSPi - scroll frame sets - this is my fav
https://amzn.to/4wSzZFO - scroll frames set - a good option but i would replace the knobs with better ones from Lowes. 
https://amzn.to/4bzBYqb - extender side bars - these are side bars
https://amzn.to/44A8i8A - extender side bars - more side bars
https://amzn.to/4gKzSr6 - qsnap clamps - these are perfect to hold your fabric on the frame - depending on the fabric I may add felt under it to hold the fabric tighter. I get the felt squares from hobby lobby. 
https://amzn.to/3RTJeqg  knobs for frames
