Bonjour Charles! Bravo pour ces broderies magnifiques!! Je découvre aujourd'hui votre chaine et j'aime énormément la manière dont tous les deux vous expliquez le process! De plus, vos motifs sont super beaux!!! J'ai tellement d'idées de thèmes à broder mais étant débutante, j'ai besoin de comprendre certaines choses techniques et puis pratiquer afin de pouvoir arriver aux résultats de ce que j'ai en tête!! Je m'abonne! Take care!!!🌻

[@CharlesElin]

Merci beaucoup ! Message qui fait chaud au cœur! On a un patron gratuit si vous voulez pour commencer ici: lekadre.com/free-embroidery-pattern/ (il y a des instructions).

[@honidaobeida1222]

Thankkkks alllllot for this unique tutorial..! Actually I have question will it work if I used the punch needle instead of normal needle..? Really appreciate if you could reply to me.!🤗🤗

[@CharlesElin]

Hi Honida! We are no experts with the punch needle, but I'm sure you can use the same principle of movement with it as well! The key to this kind of sky is really to feel the movement, shift the direction of your stitches and the colours (which you can also do with punch needle!) Hope this helps :D Best, Elin

[@nuryisabelsotocartagena3021]

Hola soy de Colombia,me encanta lo que hacen y soy una apasionada por el bordado,quiero comprar sus proyectos y quisiera saber si tienen cursos en español .🇨🇴❤️

[@veritocarbullanca]

Hermoso trabajo.Felicitaciones. ¿Habría alguna posibilidad que saliera subtitulada en español?

[@CharlesElin]

if anyone is volunteer to make the spanish subtitle on KZbin please write at [e-mail]

[@skeeterhennen9274]

I would really love to. Learn to embroider a landscape. I just can't get the "groove" for some reason. I embroider all the time but landscaping escapes me. Can you help me

[@CharlesElin]

Hi skeeter! Don't limit yourself in your mind, we're sure you can embroider amazing landscapes! A couple of main things to consider are the textures, which are created by varying techniques. Secondly is the perspective, which gets emphasized by the direction of your Stitches. Thereafter you have of course coloring and the composition. We have a full course that goes through all these aspects in more detail and that might interest you! charlesandelinacademy.com/p/create-your-embroidery-design

[@monicapike2486]

Breathtakingly beautiful. may I please write about you and include a picture for my embroidery guild newspaper. Will observe copyright rules

Gracias, tengo inquietud de iniciar este arte me encanta como lo haces , si me pudieras compartir los dibujos te lo agradecería. Saludos.

[@hebecooke9477]

What fabric do you use? x

[@CharlesElin]

Canvas Cotton!

[@glendasinger4952]

what size needle did you use for this piece?

[@CharlesElin]

It's a 1-5 needle (for example DMC has a pack called 1-5 where you have some various length so you can choose what you prefer.) Charles often uses a little shorter than me (Elin), but the thickness ratio of the 1-5 is quite good for this kind of embroidery :)

[@glendasinger4952]

What kind of thread do you use؟

[@CharlesElin]

DMC mouliné threads :)!
