You're welcome! <3

Thank you! <3

I'm so glad my video was helpful and that you're rediscovering embroidery! I love how it can appeal to all ages...

You're very welcome! It's a game-changer, right? :D

I'm glad it was helpful, thank you! <3

You're so welcome Delia! Thank you.

You can turn captions on but yes, I know some devices seem to play the music louder than others. I'm sorry if it was too loud, I'm working on improving this with future videos.

Aww, thank you! I definitely love embroidery, and I was aiming to produce a super clear, friendly video teaching the basics... so I'm glad that came across to you. And yes, so much embroidery around here! :D

You're most welcome, and I'm glad it was helpful!

You're so welcome, I'm glad you found it helpful! :)

You tie a knot on the end of the long length of thread, but not on the shorter tail; is that what you mean? You need a knot at the end to anchor the thread but if you have a knot on the tail as well you won't be able to pull the needle through. I hope that answers your question! :)

@@iheartstitchart thank you so much!!!

I'm so glad to know it was helpful! Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. :)

I'm so happy my video is helpful to you! Thanks for your comment.

Usually linen!

Thank you for this! I appreciate your feedback and I'm glad my video is helping you learn embroidery. :)

I'm so glad it was helpful! Thank you for your comment. :)

You're most welcome Esther! I'm glad you found it helpful! :)

It is quite secure but yes, it's possible for it to come out. But since these are usually displayed on a wall or shelf I've never found it to be a problem and I've done this with dozens and dozens of pieces. :)

In this video I'm using a medium-weight linen! <3

I am one of those people who needs all the instructions, so that's how I tried to teach this! I'm glad to hear it was helpful for you. Thank you for your feedback!

Yes. Many thanks Absolutely wonderful tutorial!

Okay but what did she do with the little little string that she did not tell you not to??

This!! I messed up on a whole beginner stitch one because the tutorial was so fast and assumed I knew how to properly thread the needle. So I used twice as much for ALL of my stitches than I was supposed to. So grateful for this video! It was like a light clicked.

@@perfectwinds I'm so glad to hear this! I was aiming for slow, clear instructions on the basics so I'm glad this helped you! <3

Ah, this makes me so happy to hear! I'm so, so glad my video has been helpful to you. Good luck with your project! :)

It seems to play louder on some devices than others... you can try muting and using subtitles to hear my verbal instructions? Thanks for your feedback.

It really comes from practice! I struggled with this at first but I found the most helpful thing was/still is to use the fingers of my left hand (or right hand, if you're a leftie) to press on the back of the fabric and that helps me landmark where my needle comes up. I will use my fingers to put a bit of pressure on the fabric and also help guide my needle. I'm currently teaching myself to stitch with my left hand, and honestly training my right hand to hold the hoop/guide the needle is the largest part of the challenge! If you practice it will start to become natural. Hope that helps!

Because 3 tangles much easier.

It's because 6 strands gives you flexibility! You can use all 6 for a thicker strand, or split down to any number.

This is also true! :)

Thank you so much for this feedback! I am so glad my video is helpful to you. :)

For these ones, I have screen-printed them in my studio. But there are many ways to transfer a pattern to fabric - at home you would print it out in the size you want, and then you can either use carbon transfer paper, layer pattern + fabric over a light source and trace with a heat-erase pen, or actually print the pattern on special papers that iron on or stick on. It is a wide topic and really depends on your preferences and the fabric you are using! I'll do a video on it soon but hopefully that helps meanwhile.

I'm glad to hear that! Thank you so much, and I am glad my video is helpful to you!

Aww, I hope this video was helpful! Did you get it figured out? I find some stitches were so hard to wrap my head around at first...

Thank you so much for this! Making a video like this is time-consuming and challenging... I'm happy to teach and share what I know but that doesn't mean I'm an expert in video production - just doing what I can and learning as I go! So I very much appreciate your point of view. :)

Respectfully, I disagree... in some pieces it is very important to not use knots, but in others it really doesn't matter. It depends on the piece, and the goals of the person making it! When I first started embroidery I was intimidated and frustrated by trying to make the back perfect and not use knots... so much that I gave up for awhile. If not using knots is important to you, that's amazing! I respect the skill level it takes. But I don't think everyone starting out necessarily needs to worry about it, especially if it creates an obstacle to learning embroidery. :)

So learn the wrong way first. The easy way!!!
