Embroidery - How to Long and Short Stitch

[@terrimcmanus2601]

This was the best description by far! Thank you.

[@elizabetheowynbelle]

You give clear, concise directions, and you get right to the point and never patronize the viewer. Thanks for this great instructional video!

[@rosefinchstudio]

I know this video has been here for a good while, but I just wanted to thank you! I’ve watched so many videos of this stitch and couldn’t get the hang of it as it kept being over complicated. I finally get it after watching this :-)

[@kirstencook1439]

I agree 👍Rock on beautiful person 🤗😷😇💜💪🍁🦃

[@sarahmurphy6759]

nice to know that there are others out there who hand-embroider. I learned from my grandmother when i was about 12. i stitched all my blue jeans.

:-)

[@totallydomestic433]

Thank you! I have always wanted to learn long & short stitch!

[@tobeornottobe7491]

Wendi you have been very helpful to me. I am so glad I started to embroider after a 25 year drought. I used to cross stitch. My Mother loved to embroider and now I can finish the tablecloth that was unfinished when she passed in 1972.

[@gloriafoley6120]

Thank you, your videos make things so clear.

[@antoinettesingleton9935]

This is the first video that made me truly understand and appreciate how long and short stitches are done. I wish I would have seen this video first so I could have avoided butchering the stitch. I think I finally got it this time though!

[@cryan156]

I know many other people have already commented similar things, but thank you for making this. It’s really truly helpful and it has made it so I can FINALLY finish my custom hoodie! Thank you!!

[@helenai13]

Your tutorials could not be better. You are very clear and cover every detail we need to know (even how to get rid of the thread from the tail that came to the surface:))! Finally someone who explains that as from the first row of long and short stitches all the others are of the same length! Thank you!

[@gogocarachan]

Thank you for this video! I never understood how to get nice fills without a satin stitch before and I generally work too large for satin stitch! It was driving me crazy and then I found this video. Thank you thank you thank you. :)

[@LargeHadronAnusCollider]

Excellent i'm glad you used a lighter thread as well it gave me a better idea of how to do my bird of paradise piece, thanks !!

[@itshallierose]

Thanks so much for this video Wendi! I love that you walk through the steps with us, instead of just time-lapses. This is a very helpful video. :)

[@kirstencook1439]

I agree 👍Rock on beautiful people 🍁🦃💜💪🤗😷😇

[@southernlady5085]

Thanks for this informative video. Through your clear and concise instruction, I learned that I was making a mistake with this particular stitch on a crewel project, one that I will now correct. Your video helped immensely! Thank you for taking the time to make this video for those of us who are learning the art of crewel embroidery.

[@ZephyrFeatherMyst]

Awesome Video! Thank you so much for showing the long and short stitch technique. You have a nice voice and clear instructions!

I love your videos! They are always so helpful! I have a costume I'm making and wanted to incorporate embroidery into it, but had never done it before. I found your videos and feel so much more confident about it! Thank you so much!

[@WendiGratz]

@forouzandeh1 Sure - normally you would draw your design and then use this stitch to fill in the area.

[@CafeLvr13]

Thank you! I'm starting out with embroidery and your tutorial here was helpful to me as I begin to learn the stitiches.

Love this tutorial! Thanks for the help very informative

[@imeldacanapi9968]

Thank you for your very helpful video! 😃

[@WendiGratz]

@CaylaRoxxLotz That's so funny! Sometimes I stitch with no TV or music on - just so I can listen to the pop of the needle and the sound of the thread pulling through the fabric. To me it's soothing. . . :-)

[@kirstencook1439]

I agree l only have noise of sorts to blackout 🤪 disturbing noises of others l have to live next under top of or out window noises . some smoothing others 😬 All quiet on the home front l like stillness yes the needle popping l should record to help me 😴 👍Rock on beautiful person. You sure show your 🦸‍♀️powers by taking thread & fabrics & simply yet delightful creations turn into cool whimsy art . Stay creative 👍Rock on beautiful person 🤗😷😇💜💜🍁🦃🌲🐿🥰

[@TheDriftdog]

Hi thanks for a great video I'm thinking of making a long stitch picture for my kids nursery teachers and was looking for ideas and help and your video has given me both. Just wondering what kind of material/fabric were you using here. Thanks

[@WendiGratz]

+TheDriftdog It's just unbleached muslin - nothing fancy.

[@kirstencook1439]

I finally get it🤯my 🧠thanks🤗Keep it Rocking 🤙 Beautiful person 👍 💜🙏💚🪡🧵,work play, rest for continue to come your way 2022😷😇

[@WendiGratz]

I'm glad it was helpful. :-)

[@AChristineG]

Are you only knotting one side of the thread, so that the other side is hanging loose? I can just see that dangling edge and am wondering where that's coming from. (Just started embroidering, love your videos!)

[@WendiGratz]

Yes. :-)

[@WendiGratz]

Yes - it's perfect for that. :-)

[@카르키.쿠마리]

Thank you 🙏

[@TheBellagrace]

This is great , but how do you finish the rows? When do you know to stop and get a clean finished look? Thank you, for all of your videos ! Bella

[@WendiGratz]

@MoonkissedWolf Glad it was helpful!

[@denisecaetano5085]

Poderia ter tradução...gostaria muito de entender o que vc fala....

[@vickijeanne9958]

Hi Wendi! How many threads are you using, is it 4? Because I'm using 2 and it's just not filling in very good!

[@WendiGratz]

I think I'm using 6 here. Two is lovely - it will fill slower, but you'll get a much more delicate look. It can look like painting!

[@AshHeaven]

Wow, you can hear every stitch! XD

[@pammyjones1151]

thanks for the reply..

[@pammyjones1151]

very informative videos, what fabric are you using?..

[@WendiGratz]

Just muslin - nothing fancy.

[@WendiGratz]

@forouzandeh1 I do indeed! Here's the link wendigratz(dot)blogspot(dot)com/2010/12/how-to-transfer-embroidery-patterns(dot)html

[@forouzandeh1]

hi, don't we have to draw and later do the stitching ??

[@CaylaRoxxLotz]

I HATE THAT POP WHEN YOU PULL THE END OF THE NEEDLE THROUGH!!!! But nice video!
