[@amandamiergarza2243]

I just find your channel, thank you very much to show how to embroidery. By the way, love your cat, it made me remember mine who I just lost. He loved to be around me when I was embroidering.

[@tameraalexander1249]

That’s it, your accent, your smile, your work, and most importantly your kitty. Oh. My. Goodness, how I love cats.

[@gnareff]

Thank you for leaving your sweet kitty in the video. I needed that 😻😹

[@maryalgar8779]

Your videos are so good -- easy to see what you're doing and like your easy manner.

[@taylordavispomerleau]

I recently started learning how to hand embroider. My best friend sent me a few kits in the mail & encouraged me to give it a go! My mom passed away 7 years ago, when I was 20. She could sew anything! She made me clothes, costumes, Afghan blankets, she made all of my siblings a quilt with pillows to match! She just had a real talent. So since I started, I keep thinking to myself, if only my mom was here to teach me this stuff, it would be so much easier! But then.. I found your channel! I cannot tell you how helpful it has been! I’m awful at understanding what the instructions say and you always show things to clearly. You seem like such a sweet, insightful lady and I’m so grateful for your videos!

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

I'm sorry to hear your mum passed Taylor, hopefully my videso will help you on your stitching journey! x

[@amyh.2020]

Good for you Taylor! Learning to do something your mother did and enjoyed can be thought of as a way to connect to her now... a way to spend time enjoying a shared hobby. I do this when out hiking in the woods enjoying nature, collecting rocks, watching a water fall or the sounds of waves, I never feel alone. My father enjoyed these things, he graduated this life in 2005.

[@karacreswell8437]

You present stitching tips and techniques in a way that is completely unique on YT. No frills and no shortcuts. I’ve learned techniques that I haven’t found elsewhere! Thank you a thousand times!

[@stamperssecret5379]

Hello from Dallas. Sarah, you sure taught me a lot. I was sick a lot as a child so we had to wait in busy corridors a lot. Mom taught me a lot of basic stitches. I loved embroidering and mom kept telling me how good I was at it. I’m 65 now and adding yet another medium to everything else, I am excited about embroidering again after so many years. Grandma taught mom and mom taught me. Now it’s time to teach my daughter. She never taught me how to do the chain stitch, but I have a set of pillowcases that grandma made for me 60 years ago. They are hand-tatted too. Thank you for teaching me one of grandmas stitches. You’re a sweetheart Sarah.

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

I'm sorry you had to learn embroidery in difficult circumstances Debby but happy that you love it! It's wonderful you are passing it on to the next generations too, I hope they find it so rewarding also. x
