Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I have wanted to get back into hardanger for some time and this was exactly what I needed. Can't wait for your next video.
Great start on your tutorial! You're very clear, concise and organized. Thank you for taking the time to do this. And I've already learned something new! I've been doing hardanger for over 25 years but have never used a hoop. I've seen others use a one and thought I might give it a try. Good to know not to do my cutting while in the hoop. I love hardanger embroidery and by sharing our knowledge we can keep the art alive.
Stitching with a Smile thank you for your kind words. So glad you were able to learn something new. It is a wonderful art and i too hope to be a part of keeping it alive
I was so happy to find this video series to learn Hardanger. I am a hands on person so this works for me. I sent an email for the chart and how to read the pattern. Thank you so much.
Thank you for this video. I know there are many people out there interested in Hardanger but needs a little push and guidance to start. Looking very much forward to the tutorial. Sahoxx
Thank you so much for all the work you have done making these videos and providing such helpful information. I have tried some hardanger but have found it difficult to learn from a book. Really look forward to doing more following your videos.
Thank you so much for doing this video - I have sent you an email for the instructions - Looking forward to getting back into hardanger after a few years of other needleworks - I love how you explain slowly and talk clearly - Thanks again
Well I got my supplies. I am going to do one in the traditional white on white. But I got another that has a lovely variegated blue. Shouted you and this video out on my channel! So looking forward to this :)
So excited for this. Thank you so much. And that piece you have on the table is gorgeous! Would love to see more of your Hardanger pieces. Email sent. Thank you, again!
Kate got them both. For some reason they show up in my all mail but not in my inbox. Dont know why. That is odd never had that happen before. And it was not just your. I’m puzzled 😕
First of all, thank you for your excellent tutorials. I made some Hardanger cushions covers many years ago, and have an urge to do some Hardanger work again. I would particularly like to make a few Lavender bags to give as gifts to friends, a pair of cuffs for my daughter who loves sewing and a spectacle case for myself. Do you know if there are any Hardanger groups on Face-Book?
Buenas tardes querida señora, me inspira para aprender, aunque no entiendo el inglés le sigo sus paso a paso, estoy encantada, pero tengo un problema y no se en que lugar comprar la tela adecuada, serías tan amable de proporcionarme donde pueda comprar, por de pronto radico acá en USA. Gracias por toda tu ayuda
Hello I love your videos,but at the moment I am trying to master my cross stitching and don't want to start anything else ,I do hope you will still the cross stitch videos good luck with your tutorials
Hi Again Karen - I got the link downloaded and printed out for the project - I have a question though - On this video you say to use a size 22 tapestry needle with size 22ct hardanger - I didn't see that on the printout you sent - Question >> Do you have a chart showing the different sizes of needles to use with different sizes of counts of fabrics? - Thanks again for taking the time to post this video.
I just happened to get a book by Janice Love called Hardanger Ribbons, it just appeared in my local craft store I wasn't looking for it, but I can understand what the ribbons are, they're are not literal ribbons. Do you know what she's referring to?
Thank you Faye. So glad you found it helpful. Unfortunately there is mo pattern for the table runner. It was my own design. I took the basic foundation from a book and adapted it by adding additional sections and changing the filling stitches. That is the great thing about hardanger it is very easy to make it your own
Nafeessa Chachia i would use the same as for 22 ct fabric. Size 5 pearl cotton for the kloster blocks. Size 12 for the needle weaving and a size 24 needle. Hope that helps
@@NeedleBugg Thank you Karen, ( i am watching your kloster blocks part 1 tutorial). I have been using these, but just questioned to make sure. I am also using the John James' sz 24 needle. However, I'm having a difficult time threading my needle with the no. 5 thread. It's shredding and breaking the thread while threading with the loran needle threader. The needle fits over the threader just fine , but the thread is making it impossible to remove from the threader... :(
I just found/discovered Hardanger needlework and I can not find 22 count fabrics... any recommendations as to where I can buy it? I look forward to watching your videos and learning more! Also, where do I find the threads? Thanks!!
Paula. Most needlwork shops would have 22 ct hardanger. Or could order for you. I would recommend you get the Zweigart brand. You can also order fabric from places like 123 stitch, Needle in a haystack, or most any online shop. I should also mention you do not have to use 22 ct fabric. You can use lugana, jobelan, linen, any evenweave for that matter. You will just need to adjust the sizes of pearl cotton that you use. That info is found in the link i sent you. You can purchase the pearl cotton the same place you get the fabric or even JoAnn’s or Micheals
Terry, i am not sure what you mean by Block stitch.. Kloster Blocks??? If so it is in the next video. Hardanger - kloster blocks. You can also find it is the live sessions. Videos #118 thru #123. The live sessions cover all the required stitches to do a basic piece of hardanger.
Dear Karen, thank you for the great efforts you put in this video. U would like to know what is the fabric and thread color used for the piece on the table. Thanks
Esther Rougellis the difference between 22 ct and 32 count is first of all the number of threads per inch.. secondly it is the weave of the fabric. 32 ct is 32 threads per inch and woven as a single strand of flax to make the fabric. Hardanger on the other hand is a cotton fabric with 22 threads to the inch. The weave is similar to that of Aida cloth in that it is 2 strands of fiber that count as one fabric thread. Hope that makes sense. Think of it as a transition fabric between Aida and linen/evenweave. It falls In the middle. Hope that makes sense
I THE book is basics and beyond by Janice love it is out of print A book I like even more is by Yvette Stanton " early style hardange embroidery" new explanations are great and she has excellent diagrams on doing the stitches
