I’m so glad you found it helpful! If you are struggling with French knots I do have a video specific to them where I try to show the areas I find people struggle with them! Hope it helps you.
Some HUGE information that I got from this video was that these hoops dont have to be used permanently. I always only thought of embroidery as within these hoops forever as decor lol. Once I watched this, initially out of curiosity, I got a hoop and began to embroider a large tapestry I have in my living room! I havent felt so productive and creative in awhile and you helped immensely with that. So thank you!!!
That’s how I felt too! Sat here thinking to myself (after buying all the supplies one could ever need lol overly ambitious with all this free time) what the heck am I gonna do with hoops upon hoops of random designs hahaha I’ve heard of doing some framing as well aside from clothing.
That’s amazing!! I’m really sorry I’m so late to respond to this. I love that it inspired you to be creative. I think many people see that hoop as a permanent frame as opposed to a tool!! Hope you are still creating 💜💜
your work is beautiful and i’m so appreciative that you shared with us .. going to try one now .. also, no worries about music, i prefer the peace and quiet :)
I never comment things but I just had to for this video! I have been thinking about trying to embroider small designs (like this one) on my clothes and all the videos I’ve seen have been time lapsed and confusing with crazy stitches, I LOVE how you explained this in detail and did it like we were in the room doing it along with you! Loved the video, thank you!!
Could you make a video on how you would tie the string to the needle and how tou would tie it when you are done enbroteing. Btw this video was so relaxing and informal ❤
Thank you for this video! I feel there are other channels where people will talk a lot or have distracting music in the background, I appreciate the simplicity.
How do you get the needle to punch through so easily with the full 12 strand? Getting the needle through my fabric (unlined canvas backpack) was a huge struggle for each stitch
Hey there! Sorry to hear you are struggling! I would suggest using a larger sized needle. I usually use a size 3 when I am stitching hats and using all 6 strands. Also make sure your needle is sharp enough! I hope that helps!
What a fun pattern, thank you! Have you seen the chalk pencils? We use them in art class, it’s a pencil but it has compacted chalk that’s completely washable. They also have a fabric pencil that is also chalk. It’s in the sewing department.
I want to start hand embroidery cause I feel like its relaxing at least just watching it its relaxing. Any tips on what to get for when first starting?
Sorry for the very delayed response! I’m not great at answering comments! To get started you should have a small variety of floss colours, an embroidery hoop (maybe 5 or 6 inch) a few needs of different sizes (small to large holes) and some fabric! In the beginning when you are just messing around sometimes it’s good to use scraps of old clothes or some other fabric source you can recycle!
Hello! You can search on google "background music-free to use" or combine the words in one way or another. Info provided by my husband. Loved your video!
