After clicking on the bell for updates on FlossTube (thanks to your instructions) I'm now getting notices of new videos. There were quite a few that I clicked "subscribe" but not the bell (still can't understand that) and I don't remember all the names. When trying to search I was getting the same Tubers and none that I recognized, so I Bing'd it and found this site....
It lists 200 FlossTubers and I can now go down the list hoping to ping the brain into remembering a name. I'm sure there are more than this but it's a damn good start, and you can register and add your channel to the group. You can click on their name in the list to go to their latest videos, or click on their box in the left column to see all of their posts. Drop down menu allows you to change the listing to alphabetic or by # of subscribers. As Martha used to say, it's a good thing. I do have a question for you …. do you move the video along and skip some parts, think a few are too long, not holding your interest? Or is it my impatience?
The Family Homespun Weavers fabric that I wanted to sell was laid out on the bed to check for flaws, all six yards, both sides. The Angstadt pattern has several large ones and I guess I'm stuck with it.
I may contact them and ask if I should just cut and knot these fibers but may not bother. Would make a great bed topping, shower curtains? The linen shade will still look fine in a very light bedroom. But I doubt I will sew it, and really don't need more bedding. Not enough to recover a chair and I think it will go in the attic, I am done with it. On to FlossTube!
Hope your weekend is warm and cozy.

At the bottom right of the U-Tube screen there is a gear/wheel. Click on that and you can change the speed. Even at a faster speed, I have yet to sit through an entire Floss-tube.
Hey Marly!!! I love floss tube, but most of the stitchers talk wayyyy too long....I don't have an hour to listen to someone talk about what they did, what they're going to do, and so on and so on. I skip through a lot of their videos. Some that I really enjoyed a few months ago, I no longer follow. And...I think with some of the projects, SALs, and that stupid Stitch Maynia (where you start a new project everyday for the month of May...not finishing one design)...but having 31 starts is ridiculous! It stresses me out!! I'm down to three floss tubers now..I don' have time or patience to listen to some of their jib-jab. I'd rather read blogs on stitching!
First I appologize for my awful/limited english, I hope it can still be undestandable ...I've just read the comment of the EveningStitcher and I agree with every word of it. I don't have the time to watch a 50mn video, when someone is showing the same design on each video with just 25 more stitches, I get mad with someone playing on his phone while she is "on stage", I don't even care for someone telling "I got 200 charts here is the list" (and so what ?). I would just love people to share an idea of finishing, a technic they just learnt, their feelings about a design or designer, the story behind a change in the design to match a personal memory (even if some designers get mad at it). At first I thought it could be a great source of inspiration, but it's like with each and any leisure/hobby : some people just show us their power of accumulating things. Where is the sharing, the true sharing about it ? I don't know. May Stitch Maynia sounds to me the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. I used to follow 15 stitchers on floss tube, but it's now down to 3 or 4, and I'm not sure I'm even going to watch them anymore. I'm definitively a blog person AND I want blogs to be a place to share, may it be daily life things (being in a foreign country, it's definitively instructive, way more than people think it is), about what they just found that is new or antic or whatever, as long as there is a story with it. I have a subscription to about 250 blogs (not only crafts) by blogger, but I see few still publishing, it's making me deeply sad... But I guess I'm one of the last dinosaurs, my blogs are no more interesting people, and at some point I'll probably just stop. I understand people want something else, the problem being that it doens't interest me at all to change for this, or adapt to this new thing... I feel really out of the world !
I watch some of the decorating videos on Youtube. I sure do move along if they are too slow telling or showing me the end product. I may miss something but just want to see the finished product.
Have a wonderful Sunday.
Hugs,

Yes! Yes! I definitely move the videos along. I used to watch a certain, VERY popular mother/daughter flosstube team. Can't do it anymore. I won't watch people who just love to flaunt what they have and what they have acquired and yada, yada, yada, over and over again. It is just too much. I watch two flosstubers. I would rather stitch.
Stay warm Marly. It is frigid here! And we are getting a big 'ol snow dump tonight!
Ok....I’ve only been “gone” like 2 years, right??? But why am I already beginning to feel like I am something rising up out of the Stone Age?? Flosstube???? At the risk of sounding disnosaurish, can you please enlighten me??? If I had to venture a guess, I would say it’s like YouTube, but for stitchers???? I may have to check it out.... And it’s funny this came up, because right after Christmas, I made myself finish off a half a dozen or more little cross stitch tucks (they’d been lingering WAY too long). I followed your (generously provided) instructions the best I could....but the thought came to me that I would love to have you do a video or Youtube session on it, as I have always been a wee bit puzzled about the “pinning it to the ironing board” part (how does one do that without getting pins caught in the interfacing???) (And, ok, also to see if I really am doing it right LOL). So, if it is what I think it is, are you on it?? Frigid here again...hoping my truck will start so I can scramble to town for a few “necessaries” before the storm rolls in. Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin (Oh, and Happy Sunday!)
I was following an otherwise delightful blog that became so inundated with ads, actually covering the text, that I just waved good-bye. We are in agreement about the lack of true exchange going on via floss-tube and the need of some to conduct brag sessions.. It should be like a warm and friendly gathering of stitchers exchanging ideas and methods and working through problems and caring one about the other, or at least a close facsimile.. so much depends upon the skill and personality of the one conducting the circle..not unlike Marly, who also manages to
put us in stitches of laughter.
