It’s 1:43 am why is this so satisfying

Ha ha!!! I hope I'm not keeping you up Ismael!

@Crafty3627 3 года назад

Ismael, I’m a night owl too. There are several nights a week I see 1:43 AM as well. Enjoy your stitching

@justinransburg5560 2 года назад

Because you're seeing it come alive! (It's also 1:43 am when I posted this.)

Her videos are so informative and I like how she not only shows you the straight line, but then goes over how to use it in practice - without speeding up the video. I also learned the value of the starting stitch and how the “no knotting” method works. And, I appreciate that she doesn’t edit out her mistakes and instead shows us how she corrects them. Her Palestrina stitches are so beautifully done!

@turnertobie 2 года назад

Thank you for the video, needed the refresher since I haven't done decorative stitching since I was a kid when my grandma taught me.

@Crafty3627 3 года назад

Such an enjoyable relaxing video. I appreciate that you first show how to do the stitch in a straight line and then apply it to a letter. Beautiful work.

@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery 3 года назад

Thank you Eloise!

@maryjacobs7046 2 года назад

This is a wonderful video! I haven't embroidered for 50 years or more and had forgotten even basic stitches. Thank you for showing, in detail, how to do the stitch and then how to use it. I would like to see the back of your finished work, as well. (I suspect that your back is as neat and precise as your front!)

@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery 2 года назад

I did a video all about the back of your work recently Mary, so do check that out! We have lots of videos on all the basics as well, including how to start and finish threads, how to use a hoop, backing fabric...all sorts!

@mymai5859 Месяц назад

Great camera work. Good to see different perspectives of the stitches. Much appreciated 💜💐💜

@lis819 Год назад

When I was a kid growing up in the fifties I was sent every Saturday afternoon to the house of an elderly lady to learn embroidery. Whenever I fly anywhere now, I get one of those little embroidery kits to keep my fingers and mind busy during the flight - for some reason, I’ve realised that a needle is one thing security doesn’t mind you taking on board! Now I can practice some letters as well :-)) Thanks for posting!

@selenag3773 7 месяцев назад

@djpanebouef9939 3 года назад

Thank you for the refresher course. I am 55 and I used to embroider with my great-grandmother as a child. I loved it, and I loved the time with her. I am a grandmother now and want to embroider my granddaughters name on everything. When she is older I hope to teach her. I will have to practice till then. I am starting off with pillow cases with their names for Christmas. I have never seen that last stitch before it's very pretty. Thank you.

@Rosemary-go9wj Год назад

Thank you for all your wonderful tutorial videos Sarah. The Palestrina stitch has always intimidated me. I watched this video again, took a deep breath and worked a few samples (as you recommend in another video) and I manged to master the stitch - well, sewed it well enough to add to the embroidery I'm working on at the moment anyway. I was so pleased with myself that I bragged to my husband, who knows what's good for himself, and he complimented my neat stitches. 😀

@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery Год назад

He's well trained Rosemary!! It is a beautiful stitch, well done for sticking with it x

I've just found your channel!. I ADORE iT. I self taught myself to embroidery in the late 60s early 70s. I throughly enjoy watching you do the stitches "correctly". So to say. Your tips, stitches, and the way your voice is so soothing, makes your channel a joy to watch. Thank you very much for your channel! Great work!

@amyconsiglio9309 3 года назад

@madforbread 2 года назад

Fantastic tutorial! I wanted to embroider my little granddaughter's name (its quite long LOL!) on a quilted pump bag for her first day at school this September. I loved the palestrina stitch as soon as I saw it and started straight away. I found it very easy following your detailed instructions. It's looking beautiful in the variegated thread as you suggest. I'm sure my daughter and her little girl will love it. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Your teaching style is very relaxed but also precise.

@LoveMusic-pd5iz Год назад

It's the little details that so improve our stitching! I learned three things: the two little stitches after the waste knot, deciding the direction of the loop based on the curve of the letter, and the leaving a little space when stitching where the letter crosses. None of my methods left me satisfied with the result. I will put all three of your methods into place.

What amazing stitches! The lettering on my cat’s shirt fell apart after I put it in the wash. I decided to go with couching for part of the design. Before this, I only did cross stitch and samples. Thank you for helping with this project and I enjoy it so much that I want to do more in the future. I really appreciate it that gals like you take the time to share their talents on RU-vid.

@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery 2 года назад

Make sure the thread ends are extra secure if you are going to wash it Hazel and that you put your stitches nice and close together

@hazelruin2908 2 года назад

@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery good idea. I might need to hand wash it.

@AbsentWithoutLeaving 3 года назад

Thank you, Sarah, that was nicely detailed and easy to follow. I'm just beginning, and I'm glad to have found you early on - I feel like I've gotten a running start! One comment on the overall video, which was excellent overall...I notice that in many, many tutorials, across all kinds of craft, the artist never shows the entire final product. I wish you had showed us the full array of embroidered letters at the end of the demo, to get an idea of how each style contrasts with each other, as in a sampler. I was looking forward, after following through all the intricate work, to seeing a final product - closure, if you will! And a useful tool for selecting and designing.

@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery 3 года назад

We will take your point into account; if you follow me on social media there is often pictures of the stitching on there!

@stickypawn 3 года назад

you just have such a calm and gentle demeanor. It's so peaceful watching your do embroidery! Thank you, I will try embroidering my newborn niece's name on the diaper bloomer I made :)

@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery 3 года назад

I'm like a swan Tara, calm on the surface...:) Hope your lettering works well; I don't know what fabric that would be but if it has any stretch make sure you don't stretch it before you sew on it!
