I have been trying to learn this stitch for weeks. I just couldn't figure it out with the other videos I watched. I came across this video, tried the stitch, and got it on the first try. Thank you!

[@aQuackone]

Thank you so much for your videos. They are so crisp and clear. I just started learning how to embroider and so far your videos are the easiest to follow for me

[@christauson3917]

Thank you! Trying to do this from the drawings that came with the pattern was driving me crazy. I watched this and made one. I feel great! You made my day.

[@Vonn_Loren]

I tried to follow an article, and other videos, and I just couldn't understand. But when I saw that you covered this stitch, I was so relieved. You always make things so clear and easy -- thank you!

[@MercyOnMySoul]

You’re very humbled - your tutorial is one of the best. It’s very clear- detailed and the additional drawings are great. Thank You

[@amandaplease9]

You are by far the best at explaining stitches! Thank you!

[@user-gb1jv3bq5l]

Thank you! Your technique was sooo helpful. Good explanation 😊

[@CreationsFromJudysCraftStudio]

I’ve been searching for tutorials to use in slow stitching and I fortunately for you a few hours ago… I’ve been binging on your videos since! Thank you so much for sharing your awesome instructional stitching videos! I’ve subscribed and will back for more tomorrow!

[@CutesyCrafts]

So glad you found me, and glad they were helpful!

[@naimairfan5738]

This is first tutorial I feel like I can follow and understand.

[@jesshodgkinson7194]

Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! My knots were looking so sad and I was getting so frustrated! Watched this once and mastered it! Your explanation was perfect!

[@cherylsstitchstash854]

Wow, you made this so easy to follow. I liked that you showed us twice:) You are a great teacher. Thank you so much, Many Blessings to you

[@Purplemoonscape]

[@lauraslifeandloves]

What kind of effect could this stitch be used for? I'm new to all this but keen to learn. Your videos are so clear and easy to follow! Thank you! X

[@CutesyCrafts]

This stitch is most commonly used for a bullion knot rose. I've never tried one before, but I want to. They are so pretty! I have only used them in my Frog Prince pattern to make cattails. So glad you are enjoying my tutorials. That makes me so happy to hear!

[@lauraslifeandloves]

Cutesy Crafts Thank you for getting back to me. Do you have a tutorial on a bullion knot rose? I shall definately check out the other video you mentioned too. Thanks again. X

[@CutesyCrafts]

I don't have a tutorial for the rose. I still need to learn how to do that one myself. Haha! The Frog Prince hoop is on my blog, but it won't let me leave links in the comments for some reason.

[@lauraslifeandloves]

Cutesy Crafts Ahh fair enough. No problem, I'll have a look. Thank you. X

[@josephinelyanu2968]

Thanks #o much I love thanks so much I like your channel

Thank you so much i like your vids how you not make a intro like the others welcome back to another video etc. Tysm again godbless 😍

[@celesteday9473]

Please tell what size needle you were using and how many threads

[@burrengirl3409]

Beautiful work! Can you share the brand and size of milliner's needles, please? Thank you!

[@CutesyCrafts]

I use Tulip brand bullion needles for these. Here's my affiliate link: amzn.to/3sPxCob

[@sabineplays7717]

wow

[@burrengirl3409]

What's holding the hoop in place while both hands are working on the knot? Thanks, again! (New subscriber and looking forward to seeing you other vids!)

[@CutesyCrafts]

Here's an affiliate link to the stand I use: amzn.to/2VdAQT1 It's a floor stand, but I took out some of the pieces to shorten it for tabletop use.

[@brandytaylor1485]

how do you make a small bullion not like you have a short subject like sprinkles on a donut

[@iszhka]

ily

[@hamburgerballs]

I need help- how to lock

[@CutesyCrafts]

Run your needle under the back of the stitch, leave a loop, put needle through that loop to make a knot.

[@aldenhui94]

Do you split the thread into strands or use the full floss?

[@CutesyCrafts]

Depends on how thick you want the stitches to be. This is all 6 strands, but I frequently use 3.

[@aldenhui94]

@@CutesyCrafts Thank you for the reply

[@melissaalmeidaa]

What material are u using?

[@CutesyCrafts]

This is my favorite fabric for embroidery: shrsl.com/2h1v9 They sell it in all kinds of pretty colors. I also have a blog post all about fabric here: cutesycrafts.com/2018/07/best-embroidery-fabric.html

[@nooneeugy]

May i know how did you got your needle out of the thread? That part is so HARD FOR ME😭

[@CutesyCrafts]

Try using a milliner's or bullion needle. The head is the same width as the rest of the needle, so it's easier.

[@monalisa360]

Great job exposing the stitches.

[@ticket573]

Help! I cant pull the needle!

[@CutesyCrafts]

Try wrapping just a little bit looser. I know, it's hard. I struggle with this one sometimes too.

[@CutesyCrafts]

You can also try a different style of needle. They have ones specially made for bullion knots that are the same size around the hole as the rest of the needle.

[@virg40]

Hello maam

[@Sammariie]

The bouillon knot is NOT my friend 😩 but I will keep practicing.

[@CutesyCrafts]

I still have a hard time. A milliner's needle or needle specifically for bullion knots will help a lot.

[@honna8653]

Can't pull the needle :

[@CutesyCrafts]

Try using a Milliners or Bullion needle.

[@GodlyNewbyXD]

my schools explaination is SO MUCH harder :/

[@sakinahararwala1226]

Not clear Edited

[@sashagoroshko1025]

Why tf do you keep jumpcutting???
