Basic Embroidery Stitches for Beginners

[@maryshaw737]

Just found you and this was so easy to follow. As a long ago stitcher (I'm 82 now) as a child and young adult,, decided I wanted to get back to it. Thank you, I'll be able to succeed now. Blessings.

For that I would recommend Blanket Stitch - cozy and you can hide from your problems.

Can you make a video on how to thread the needle and tie the knot at the end of a stitch. I really find your videos helpful btw❤️

One BIG THANK YOU....by watching your videos, I fell in love with embroidery. I don't speak your language but the way you are showing every singles step is so precise that now nobody believes me I have been doing this for only 2 months. Thank you for making my life better.

[@riverbirchthreads4791]

Wow I’m so pleased to read that! Thank you for watching and keep up your embroidery!!! 😊

[@Un3x4ected]

I am here beacuse of my online class...beacuse my teacher sended me this..turns out IT was great..i like how u are straight to the point and not like other youtubers who introduce themselves and keeps saying subscribe and stuff

[@riverbirchthreads4791]

Thanks for your comment! I’m so glad you found the video helpful. None of my videos have those kind of long winded introductions because I too find them annoying (and also I’m not very skilled at making/editing videos haha) Straight to the point is what I aim for! Thank you 😁

[@emolyemu89]

Omg thank you for this video! I just beame interested in embroidery like 2 days ago and have been going through tutorial videos like crazy. Yours is the only video that explained when or for what a specific stitch is used. Most other tutorials show how to do a stitch but either don't name it or say what the stitches are used for. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain it.

[@riverbirchthreads4791]

I’m so glad you found it helpful!! 💜 good luck with your embroidery

[@JaxoteaPlus]

So grateful, starting again after not doing any since I was a child. The instructions in the pack I bought are terrible and I found your video whilst trying to work out what they meant!

[@jasminesoliman4499]

Thanks! I just learned how to stitch in art class and was like “wow, this is really fun!” So now I’m deciding that I want to learn more and do it at home! This has really helped me!

This is the third or fourth video I have seen to hopefully learn how to chain stitch. I just couldn’t get it with the prior ones. I am so glad I found your video because I succeeded! Thank you so much. You have the gift of teaching.

[@LilBabyKK24]

Just found your channel and love your content! Just finished one of those kits you find in the store & fell in love with embroidery. I never stick with something enough to finish it, let alone watch tutorials. This video helped me to keep going forward and start some of my own projects with more open ended projects.

[@debbieolagues5283]

This tutorial is wonderful. I learned to embroider when I was little but it has been a while since I embroidered. It is always good to go back to basics. I am glad I found your tutorials.

[@crossingponies9434]

Best video i could find (so far) getting my first embroidery kit for xmas 2023 so I have been looking for videos on the different stitches. I need something with explanation over the visual video! so this was excellent Thank you very much

Thanks for this simple demonstration of the stitches. I had to refresh my memory! Please can you share how you stabilized the hoop and fabric underneath so you could use both hands? It looks very steady instead of holding it in your hand while stitching

[@riverbirchthreads4791]

Thanks for watching! I’m using a small desk stand to keep my hoop steady. I use it everyday. I believe it came from a shop called Hawthorn Handmade

I don’t use it personally as I don’t find that the backside is scratchy so it seems unnecessary as long as you’ve secured your stitches but it’s really up to you!

[@CamTrs]

Massive rookie question: can you do stem stiches in circular/bent shapes, for framing for instance? Does it still show or does it have to be straight to show this nicely torsaded figure?

[@charlottemarie3203]

Really!!

[@morganmills13]

@@CamTrs Yes, stem stitches can work for straight lines, curves, circles, you name it, really. I personally just make smaller stitches around curves & circles, though. Less chance of buggering it up.

im thankfull i found this video cuz i actually think that chain and split stitch are freaking complicated .btw the tumbnail is same as our activity:0 so lets just say its like copying ur work but im rlly thnkfull i found this video

[@elizabethshepard5706]

Clear easy directions but I really struggle with the chain stitch. I made up a story to help me do the stitch; "a bunny pops up from its burrow and pops down the same rabbit hole. The bunny hops forward, but needs to go back to its original burrow to pop out and take a look around, then the bunny goes down that exact same burrow. The bunny hops forward again, and again needs to go back to its original burrow to take a look around before hopping ahead again". Silly but following the bunny has really helped me to get this stitch going. I still need lots and lots of practice.🐰🐰🐰🐇

Haha that’s amazing! I’m sure this little story will help others as well! Thanks for sharing.

hello!! this video is really helpful :) if you don't mind, can you tell me how to tie the floss at the end? i'm still confused and don't know how to make it neat, thank you

[@riverbirchthreads4791]

Loudiva Pramudya hey there! Thank you. Make sure you stop stitching with an amount of floss you feel that you are able to tie a knot with. I usually just tie one knot but if you are working with say 1 or 2 strands of floss maybe tie a double knot to be safe! The knot should sit against the backside of the fabric and then you can trim the ends with small scissors

Would you recommend always using at least 4 threads for a split stitch to keep the texture?

[@riverbirchthreads4791]

Nat Cat hey there! Yeah I would say so! You won’t really be able to tell you are doing split stitch with 2 strands of floss and the only times I really use it are to show texture! So the more floss the better 😊

such a helpful video! @riverbirchthreads4791 should we be doubling our embroidery thread/threading the needle so the floss is like a double strand? And with the back stitch, do you just push the needle back through the same hole as the previous stitch? Or do you actually split the threads of the previous stitch and push through them?

Watching your video, looks like you are using two strands of thread. Is this correct and do you do this with all your stitches?

[@kathleenmckenna8578]

Yes, the stem stitch will work best for my project.

[@brucezannetti1509]

This is very helpful. You note to keep the stitch length consistent, but are there any guidelines as to how long a stitch should be? I tend to hand sew with very small stitches and am wondering if that would affect the look of the work.

[@riverbirchthreads4791]

A good question and truthfully I don’t know! Maybe but I’ve always adopted about a 1cm stitch length (depending of course what I’m working on) I think just whatever works for you and your style is probably best
