Sissy, I don't know that there are any videos per-se....gridding is just putting lines on to your fabric.

Some folks here use a metallic thread & sew the lines on, others use a contrasting floss that isn't in the pattern.

There are also water-soluble pens. That's kind of what I do (have done both, & the sewing the metallic thread on can be TEDIOUS!). I find the center of the chart, is it an actual square or is it an intersection of 2 lines? If it's an intersection, I draw a cross in the center of the fabric where the 2 intersect (maybe about 10 squares from the center in all 4 directions) then I usually just place a dot at 10 space intervals for the section I'm about to stitch.
