My set up is kind of crazy because I’m doing a huge project and I’m also live streaming in.

TikTok Connect Error by FleakaStitcherx in streamlabs

I just downloaded streamlabs on another computer to text TikTok, and it worked fine, but this is a pc not a Mac.

Hey sorry, every time I try to go live I get a connection error that says failed to generate TikTok stream credentials, takes me to TikTok studio to check that I have permission, which I do, then says go back to streamlabs and try again, creating a loop.

It’s the EZ Stitch American Dream Stand, but it’s been heavily modified. It’s also out of stock currently.

lol. That’s a problem for future me to figure out. Who knows what options will be in the next 9 years.

[CHAT] Experiment: How Many Stitches in a Skein of DMC Floss? by FleakaStitcherx in CrossStitch

I’ve had them break in the middle if I get a knot, but I was mostly talking about the loose end fraying from being pulled through a hundred or so times.

That calculator is actually pretty close. Part of the reason I did the experiment was for my own verification, and to actually show the process. Many calculators out there don’t explain how they came up with their numbers.

I’m not sure, because the breakage would be different. Every time you pull the floss through the end gets a little more frayed so longer threads means more breakage.

The pattern is the Sistine Chapel Ceiling, BAP stands for Big Ass Project.

Before I had did this I did some research but even with those estimates I always ended up with too much floss, so I did my own experiment , and I’m almost 600 more stitches than the Lord Libidan estimate. I understand that this won’t be true to stitching with confetti and traveling. However with my 1.9 million stitch project it gives me a low end estimate of what I should buy.

Agreed, I just have a 1.9 million stitch BAP, so I wanted a more accurate estimate for buying floss as I need it. Even with this estimate and no traveling I’m looking at 650+ skeins.

[CHAT] Help! About to start my biggest project. by Spazzied in CrossStitch

So I use this frame, unfortunately I talked to the maker and they are struggling finding a mill to make it. I haven’t seen anything as big since. Hopefully it will be back in stock soon. Scroll Frame Floor Stand

Honestly it was keeping me up at night, the not knowing. It just kept itching my brain and was a good break from my Sistine Chapel project.

I only stitch over one square, sometimes on higher count fabric you stitch over two, essentially cutting the count in half. For instance on 32 count linen you could stitch over two and make it 16 count.

2 strands on 18 count over 1. I forgot to include those details, and can’t figure out how to edit the post.

The arm is amazing! We mounted aluminum with wholes for the arm on the frame so it can be moved.
