How to do a Satin Stitch

[@charliesutherland2879]

Been struggling to understand the instructions that came with an embroidery kit. Every time I don't understand how to do the stitch, I go to your channel. Very helpful!

[@helenisamelon]

Thank you so much! Your tips on satin stitch have saved my sanity! 😂 All of these beginner videos for basic stitches are a huge help. Thank you thank you thank you!!

[@CutesyCrafts]

Oh, I'm so glad they are helping! Satin stitch is still something I struggle with at times. It always looks better when it's done than I think it's going to be, so just keep at it. :)

[@violetskies38]

I am working on a embroidery project for my brother. I'm going to give it to him for Christmas! I came to KZbin to look for directions to different stitches and you are by far my favorite!! You explain things so easily and are not too fast. You show what you are doing and are very good at explaining! Love these vids!

[@erinhector9497]

Best instructions I’ve gotten on the satin stitching and your technique is very helpful

[@JasperBoersma]

Your channel has been an absolute blessing. I struggle to learn certain things and embroidery is one of those. Your instructions are clear, simple, and direct. I have learned so much in just a few days. I still need lots of practice, but now that's possible.

[@katelyn2552.]

Your tip of breaking it up and cutting it in half helped me SOOO much

[@spiritualsarver2125]

By far the BEST instructions and visual I’ve seen on KZbin.

This is a great tutorial, I am having such a hard time, with the Satin Stitch ! It's so frustrating. I really admire all of your work, thank you for your tutorials. I am learning so much from you. Hopefully there will be more embroidery videos to come ! How about a basic flower and leaf stitch? :)

Satin is a hard one to get right. Practice really helps though. This video has some good satin stitch tips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ7OlGWjp7Ktb5Y. I have some flower and leaf stitch videos as well: kzbin.info/aero/PLVpHtgzOMJ6SIcC07CvS4FwBdVWJfdIzm

[@MariaCastillo-cf4kw]

Hello!! Thank you for the time to teach us... I've been wanting to learn since 2010 I finally getting to learn with your videos thank you so much.... how do I know when to split the thread and the No. Of the need to use...I'm so sorry for this question... but you can see how green I am to embroidery 😅

[@CutesyCrafts]

You can use whatever amount of thread you want. I usually use 2, 3, or 6 depending on how thick I want the line to be. If you are doing a filling stitch, the fill will look smoother if you use less thread and more textured if you use more. For needle sizes a smaller number equals a bigger needle. The following embroidery needle sizes are recommended: one strand=size 10 needle, two strands=size 9 needle, three strands=size 8 needle, 6 strands=size 3 needle. This beginner video I made might help you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp-xpq2diNWfl6csi=EAl-e2sdPSVv1-as

[@elaines8647]

The satin stitch is the one stitch I continue to struggle with, but breaking it into small grids just might be the ticket to success. I am definitely going to try this. One of the problems I find is that the back of my work, especially the satin stitch, is not always as clean as I think it could be. Any suggestions as far as covering the back if I am giving the finished piece as a gift? I like to hand embroider tea towels. Thank you.

[@CutesyCrafts]

If you are leaving it in the hoop, this is my favorite way to finish the back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJPFgouvnrF_aq8. If you are making a tea towel, you want to use no knot methods that I show here and the back will just look nicer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4W9i2uopb6WnJo. I have a video of my specifically working on napkins here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqScnn-ef56nl9U. If you want a backing for a piece of clothing, I have a blog post about some options here: cutesycrafts.com/2020/07/the-best-backing-for-embroidery.html

[@ello_ammichelle2743]

Thank you! I needed to do a needle work homework 😂 And I was trying to save time by using satin stitch, but I was struggling! Thank you so much!! Also, one more question. I see that the tread’s thickness is not very thin, is it a double thread or something?

[@CutesyCrafts]

I'm using 6 strand embroidery floss which is one big strand made of 6 smaller strands. You can separate them out to make thinner lines. I'm using all 6 strands here so it's easier to see, but usually I like to use 2 or 3 strands for a smoother satin stitch.

[@johnbanana3656]

how do you lock it?

[@exypnos8907]

Just make a knot at the back I guess....

[@Stephanie-ei9uj]

I always run the needle through the threads on the backside and the cut the thread from the needle close to the stitching

[@jonaslove1988]

It's been a year but i figured id respond anyway. On the back side, run the needle through one of your stitches. As you pull, a little loop will trail behind the needle. Run the needle through that loop then pull until it's just a knot. Cut the thread from there :)

[@rainywolf4443]

[@OhMyChord]

very helpful, thank you!

[@zelahfines6535]

I don’t understand how come you left the outside ones for last, wouldn’t that waste thread going all the way over the other side at the end? Is there a reason for this?

[@jephninety5434]

I'm curious about how much thread is wasted behind the surface of the piece worked. Is it possible to take a stitch from top down, then move laterally and stitch from bottom up?

[@CutesyCrafts]

Yeah, you can probably do that. I just know when I'm filling in a shape like a flower petal, it helps me to have the stitches all coming from the same side. I don't know why, but it helps me keep them more even.

[@tsts441]

I did the satin stitch for a large space however after removing the hoop the threads became super loose. should I shorten the spaces or ie there another way to fix it?

[@CutesyCrafts]

Yes, satin stitch can become problematic if they get too long. When filling a large space, I recommend the long and short stitch instead.

[@CutesyCrafts]

I'm using 6 in this video. I also like the look of using 3. I usually base it off of how big my shape is.

Super

[@joannamarieadao2925]

thanks 😊 po

[@tarinisawant6604]

Why do we need to draw the column if we can stitch from one point to other? Just one rectangle box should be fine right? And can't we start from any point rather than marking?

[@CutesyCrafts]

Yeah, you don't have to. I like to do it more on irregular shapes like flower petals so it splits up the area, and I remember which angle to stitch. Just a preference.

[@shylathaha5175]

Tanks👍🙂🙂

[@starxein9105]

So like a straight stitch ?

[@CutesyCrafts]

Yeah, I guess you could say the satin stitch is like a bunch of straight stitches right next to each other.
