JMDS FlossTube #317 | Septembah! 🪡💗🌀 (WIPs, Books, & A Change of Plans)

Summary AI

Jessie Marie, a cross-stitcher living in central Virginia, presents her September FlossTube episode. She begins with administrative updates, announcing giveaway winners for Floss and Flame gift cards and a 3D-printed stitch buddy. She then shows her works in progress: Quick Stitch Day and Night, Avarice, and April, all full-coverage pieces by Heaven and Earth Designs. She shares her August statistics, including a record 24,090 stitches, and discusses a significant change of plans: she is setting aside her usual rotation to focus on finishing projects, using a new 'burnout' wheel with projects close to completion.

{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
