Yay thank you so much!

[@HeySarahGurl]

Just found your Van Gogh sky video and I loved it! It was so helpful! I have a hard time learning new things and the way you explained it made it really easy to follow! Hope to see more from y’all!

[@CharlesElin]

Hi Sarah, So happy you liked it and found it valuable! It's tricky for everyone to learn when things are badly explained, we work hard ton trying to simplify processes that can seem ery complicated, when actually it's oftentimes a matter of repetition of simple steps that creates the magic! Glad to see you on board, if you're new to our work you might want to check out our daily updates over on Instagram at @petronella.art and @_charleshenry_ or see more of our courses on Charles and Elin Academy. All the best to you!

[@moninao21]

Hi Charles. Thank you for the great work in this class. I have a question for you. In stitching the sea, you do a backstitch first and then a split stitch, or you split stitche the back stitch you made? And my next question for working the sky would be do you do the same thing with whites and light blues back stitch and then split stitch? Would love to know. Thank you for your teaching video!

[@sharmilaghosh374]

Hi Hi.. For both of you..amazing Artists. Which materials and what sort of threads you are using for this unbelievable beautiful embroidery? One more thing do you use split stitch while stitching the small figures like house, castle etc ...?Please advise. .

[@saneyarahman4786]

Can u pls tell me what type of fabric u r using???btw ur vdos r awesome 😍

[@hilton-embuscadenovoscamin1800]

Bastante interessante. Faço um trabalho semelhante, mas o material é a lã e a juta em tapeçaria.

[@cotebucarey1]

Hi I just wanted to say how exquisite is your work guys , the explanations are awesome too 👏 , btw how many treads did use ? The whole tread or a few ones ? 😽

[@CharlesElin]

Hi, thank you so much that means a lot! I used three strands. We actually never use the full thickness (6strands) on our designs :)

[@paulebaruk8427]

i will like to know how you embrode the stairs on that video again tanks

i like to tanks you for the beautiful video. i like to know were can i buy floss by mail because a live in Haiti. tanks i find the floss on amazone very expensif. tanks

[@beckyaistrup3048]

I notice on all of your masterclasses and tutorials that you always switch your hand position from the front of the piece to the back of the piece with each stitch. Is there a reason you don't do your stitches by keeping your hand on top of the piece? I would think that would be easier on your hand and make the stitching go faster. Thanks for all of the great videos!

[@CharlesElin]

Dear Becky! So sorry for the slow reply, was sure that I had responded to you earlier, my apologies! Yes that's right, thanks for paying attention. It's definitely not a must to do the way we do, we simply find it easier to control the linework when being attentive for each stitch (both from atop and below). Furthermore, for the Architectural hand embroidery designs we like to use cotton canvas that you can stretch quite strongly in the hoop to create stability, which also facilitates when making straight lines. And we've found that when keeping the hand on top and doing the full loop backstitch, the fabric can easier get loosened, which would then make it easier to accidentally pull the thread too hard and perhaps create bubbles... I hope this all makes sense! Don't hesitate to reach out via email if you have any more questions, All the best and we're so happy to have you in our courses!

[@sassycc1558]

Do you just use the split stitch for the whole sky??

[@CharlesElin]

Yes I do ! 😁

[@sassycc1558]

@@CharlesElin thank you!

[@helenai13]

@@CharlesElin isn’t the first blue for the sky, just above the water, back stitch and only the last colour split stitch? Please enlighten me. :)
