I thought I would play a bit of the video and go on to something more interesting ... but I was hooked. I watched intently until you were finished. I haven`t started to do any embroidery yet. I need to look at some basics to see how to know what each stitch means. I have a lot to learn and can`t wait to get started. I want to see all the bugs first, though. Thank you.

Simply amazing thank you!

[@StitchGothica]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🥰

Thank you for these videos, they are so incredibly helpful! My toddler looks forward to watching them, too. She saw the big guy during this one and said, "I want her to do the stag beetle!" We're both excited for him 😉

[@StitchGothica]

😄 that's awesome! I'm building up to him! What does she think I should call him?

[@DragnBlak]

@@StitchGothica Loving the suspense!! And she said, "Peetasee!" 😂

[@StitchGothica]

lol is Peetasee a character from something or just a special bug name she's created? 😁 Either way it's awesome. What's her name? I will shout her out on Instagram when I stitch him! Doing a practice beetle this week to properly work out the colours. 🤞

[@DragnBlak]

@@StitchGothica I think she made it up just for him! And her name is Charlotte 😁 She will be so tickled for the shout out, thank you!! We'll be cheering you on for your beetle stitching!

[@StitchGothica]

@@DragnBlak Epic! 😄He is a Rainbow Stag Beetle if you want to look up the real life one. I will do my best to make Peetasee just as colourful 😁

Excellent❤

[@gloommmmmm]

I'm doing it right now! thanks for sharing this. what kind of erasable pen are you using ? I cant find a decent one

[@maryheard2609]

The herringbone is a difficult stitch. You move a bit too fast, or I'm a bit too slow. Is there a way to slowly show how to do this?

[@robinaanstey3734]

Go to the settings located on the task bar and click on playback speed. You can select the slowest at .25 to see how the stitches are done. Cheers!

It looks like a great tutorial but the constant movement of the embroidery hurts my eyes 😢
