Thank You. I've known about this for years but never understood about the simple art of spinning. Most helpful.

There are so many stitches that can easily be shown left handed, so we decided to see whether that would be a popular option for us to include. I am glad you find it useful.

And in this video, thank you for sharing which thread and needles you're using. That makes such a huge difference in success if we are learning a new stitch.
@MacAvoySistersSaySew2 ай бұрын
Glad that helps. From our experience with in-person teaching, we know that is a source of frustration for people, not know what needles and threads work together. It's hard to get started if you don't know what needle and thread to pick up!

That's great. We like to break down the complicated stitches to make them approachable, plus give a lot of options for making additions to basic stitches, as with Pekinese.

Thank you for your very informative posts, I am having fun learning these stitches again! Do you have a particular brand of needle that you prefer?
@MacAvoySistersSaySew3 ай бұрын
I'm glad you like our videos! My favorite brand of needles is Tulip. They are made in Japan. Their milliners needles are nice and straight, with beautifully bored out eyes that do not bulge out at all. This makes them perfect for knotted stitches. Tulip needles are pricey, though. I also like Hemmings needles- very good quality for less money. Both Tulip and Hemmings milliners needles are available in individual sizes. Another great needle is Bohin, made in France. Their milliners needles only come in variety packs, but their other needles come in individual sizes. I also like John James for chenille needles, Jeana Kimball Foxglove Cottage #9 straw (milliners) for cotton applique, and Sue Spargo brand are my favorite tapestry needles. As you can probably tell, I love sewing needles!
