Embroidery Fill Stitches You Should Know 

Aw, I love that! I have some unfinished pieces from my mother, who passed away several years ago, and getting to work on something she put so much time and love into really connects me to her. I hope you have fond memories of your grandmother while taking care of her beautiful handiworks!

🥰🥰🥰what a lovely thing you do !

I’m sure ur grandma is very happy

I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you continued to learn to complete some of her pieces.

I would love to know how your progress is on this :) such a sweet idea and I hope even if you only look at them it still brings you closer to her when you see them

Welcome to the embroidery community, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I love to pass on what I've learned to new stitchers!

Which fabric should use to properly embroidery at learning

@@anujaamale1417 hi, im learning and i like to use the 100% cotton fabric cause its soft and easy to see through. 🤍

@@anujaamale1417 I'm also no expert but I looked it up a year ago when I had time to try it out and apparently cotton is the go to (but i guess (cotton)linen may be an option?)

Thankyou helps alot

Haha thank you! I love helping people get a good nap in!

I was just thinking this as my eyelids grew verrryyy heavvvvyyyy 😴

This music is actually put from a sleeping music

@@gettheetothestitchery what do you call this type of music? and from which cd is this from? thank you.

@@JinkyFlaviano look up hertz music

So true! Long and short stitch is the foundation of thread painting because of how it blends colors into each other.

Thanks, I thought it was a nice touch!

I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE THATS MAKES ME RESPECT THE TIME PUT INTO THIS SO MUCH MORE

I didn’t notice till you said so. That’s very cool.

I respect your profile picture

I Love your profile picture

Thank you! There's definitely a newfound interest in this art, and I'm happy to pass along what I know.

I'm so glad to hear that!

Agreed!

I'm so glad you like it! And yeah, obnoxious music is a no-go for me.

I'm so glad you found it helpful!

That's so kind of you to say, thank you!

i am so confused

@@vegan.3176 me too! I literally came to the comments to see if anyone discussed this thread saver technique. I wish the video didn't edit out any of that process to help with understanding exactly how to do it

The proper stitch always goes top to bottom, so you're also doing a full stitch on the back each time. The saver goes top to bottom then bottom to top, making just a short little stitch on the back. You can't stitch as closely this way, so you then need to go back and fill in the gaps, also using top to bottom, bottom to top.

So very true! I hope you are able to finish it now and then admire your hard work!

Yay, go for it! It's such a relaxing and rewarding craft!

Gracias por compartir tu arte

Great excuse to make a new project when you finish this one!

Yes! Crow's foot is such a specific stitch, and it always gives me so many ideas of awesome geometric patterns that could be done with it. Go for it! This sampler is available in my Etsy shop if you would like to give it a try: www.etsy.com/listing/870410522/pdf-pattern-embroidery-modular-sampler?ref=shop_home_feat_4

that’s an awesome idea. i might do the same

That was my first thought too xD

You should definitely give stitching a try - it's a super relaxing craft!

That's so fun! I'm glad to hear that schools are using embroidery as a teaching tool!

Aw you're too kind!

You're so welcome!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!

It's always my pleasure to do so!

That's great! I love creating something that can be useful around the world!

I'm so glad!

You are so welcome!

Glad it was helpful!

That's wonderful, I'm so glad!

Very true! The thread saver method can be helpful when you're trying not to compress your fabric too much, when you're on the last leg of a thread color, or if the section you're sewing doesn't need a lot of back stability to it, but when in doubt and when able, it's always better to go with the proper way.

Very true!

Oo yes! I love seeing a mixture of different artworks and crafts!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much, that brings me so much joy to hear!

I'm so glad it was helpful!

I'm so glad! I've always had trouble falling asleep myself, and I find that peaceful and relaxing videos can be helpful, so I'm always happy to contribute some more for others!

Yay! Welcome to the world of stitching!

I'm the same way - every time I tried to crochet, it has not ended well... XD I hope you'll love embroidery as much as I do - you have a great reason to want to learn!

Thank you very much!

Cross-stitching is a gateway to embroidery! Hahahahaha Hope you find some time to relax with your stitching!

Check out some of the other tutorial videos to see how to do every stitch on this pattern!

Haha I'm always happen to contribute to nap time!

Lol in feeling the same! Well excpet it is almost 2am so its easier to feel like this-

Oo I'm so curious now... Haha but we have all been there!

... Im curious too-

O, geez. ok - A 2mm split-stitch. As dense-ish fill. Takes forever, looks not so great. Seed-like, prone to gaps.

@@JoannCarolus wasn't expecting an answer but thanks for telling!😄

Well I'm super glad you enjoyed it!

Beautiful words, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!

That's interesting that you say that about the traditiion. I follow a very old painting tradition, that I gave up what I learned with my art degree to pursue. But in picking up my needle, I feel I am connected with my two grandmas who loved to embroider. (Also my husbands granny, and we have some of her work still in use around her farmhouse.)

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

I'm so glad you liked it!

Exactly!

It is a pattern I designed on my own! You can see all the final projects on my IG account, @gettheetothestitchery!

So when doing satin stitch the proper way, you are putting just as much floss on the back of the fabric as on the front. This gives you a nice, sturdy stitch, but it also leaves a lot of floss unseen. If I'm running out of a certain color and want to conserve my thread, I'll do the thread saver version, when puts a lot less floss unseen on the back of the fabric, and therefore uses less floss overall!

I don't embroidery at all but wondered the same and eventually guessed that it might help stabilize it during wear to prevent bunching. Stress on any single thread in the fill will tug at several different parts of it, right? So maybe it recovers from accidents better?

I wondered the same. I wish we can see the back..

@@riezlcoveta7463 Check out my video on knots and hoop butts for a view of the back and explanation of the thread saver stitches!

exactly why i stopped watching.

Aw you're too kind, thank you so much! I'm glad I could be helpful to you!

Glad it was helpful! Best of luck diving into embroidery - it's a wonderful world of versatility for sure!

Thanks! To find out more about the thread saver vs proper stitches, check out my video on hoop butts here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c9JblTcRgjI.html As far as the large spaces go, I would recommend not using satin stitch to fill them. It can be tempting to go with satin stitch so you have those clean, straight lines, but don't be afraid to try out other fill stitches like brick, long and short, chain, or split stitch. Those will add some texture to the shape, but they will also keep your stitches tight and close to the fabric. If you really want to do satin stitch, make sure your fabric is pulled as tight as possible, and give each stitch an extra (gentle) tug to make sure you are leaving no slack as you go around.

Embroidery definitely makes for some incredible and unique fashion!

Aw, you're too kind! I'm so happy to hear another stitcher joining the community - and don't worry, you'll pick it up faster than you expect!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it and are starting your embroidery journey!

You've got this!

The thread saver option will cover the same amount of area using less thread, because there is not as much left on the back of the fabric as in the normal method. Sometimes, we are scrimping to save the last bit of a certain color, so a thread-saving method of a stitch can help prolong the running out.

Oh, never mind. I have my grandmother's embroidery hoops, and I have dug out a piece of white cotton fabric and a roll of thin white mercerised cotton yarn from my stash, so I guess I'm starting an embroidery project! With your guide to stitches I should be able to make a pretty little tablecloth with scattered white-on-white embroidery (which is always pretty, even when it's simple) and a whipped chain stitch or similar around the edge to conceal where I'll just machine sew the hem. I may end up cursing you for getting me to do this - but at least it will also be fun SOME of the time, right?

I'm so glad you've been inspired to give embroidery a try! I hope you have fun sewing and turn out something you love!

@@gettheetothestitchery Well, I Sketched out a design last night, and did a couple of leaves with the downwards fishbone stitch - and it looks really pretty so far! So far it seems my stitching is on a par with the embroidered tablecloths my great-grandmother made 100 years ago, so that's a major success! (My design is less complex and much smaller than the two tablecloths I have from my great-grandmother, but then I'm a beginner... I don't want this to be a project that scares me off!)

If you are using only one or two strands of embroidery floss, or if you're using a regular sewing thread instead of one meant for embroidery, it's going to be super hard to fill an area (especially a decently large one) with thread. I definitely suggest going up to 3+ strands of embroidery floss to make it way easier, then think about making each stitch almost on top of the one before it. Hope that helps!

@@gettheetothestitchery Oh Ok thanks so much, I don't have any needles specially for embroidery, so I tried using two strands but it couldn't fit in :P

Well I'm glad you finally did! Welcome!

I'm so glad you liked it!

Not at all! The thread saver version often comes in handy - no shame in using it!

That's great! Embroidered logos will definitely last longer and look extra special!

@@gettheetothestitchery Only possible because you took the time to make a video for the rest of us to see and learn. Many thanks. Be well. 😄

I'm so glad it was helpful to you!

Thank you so much!

You're so welcome!

I'm so happy that you're here!

I've heard that before! It's a pretty cool stitch...

Aw thank you!
