This is so helpful. Thank you!

[@emilyrue1668]

Thank you for explaining that so well. I now understand how to make a colonial knot. Please show more embroidery stitches.

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Check out our stitch library Emily, there's loads of stitches in there!

[@Mrs0biWanKenobi]

Once again you have proven why you are the best (and my favorite) embroidery teacher on KZbin! I have learned so much from your videos! Thank you!

[@Sydroo1969]

I have a friend that is quite proficient at embroidery. She prefers the colonial knot better than the French knot. She says it stays better.

[@clairegasson4187]

So clearly explained, thank you!

[@SharonCarbine]

Excellent demonstration, Sarah! Thank you!!!

[@cerwelt]

Excellent tutorial. I have a stack of embroidery books with stitches, but your explanation and demonstration was clear, understandable and informative. I can duplicate your results. Great teaching.

[@bonniesutherland8797]

You are a awesome teacher thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing your huge wonderful skills with us.

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

[@paniAlla_]

Дуже вдячна вам пані за чудовий урок, нарешті я знайшла правельний майстер клас і у мене все вийшло дуже гарно!!!!!

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Thank you! I'm glad it helped!

[@sandramyer7081]

Thank you, Sarah - I finally i got it- your demo was so clear and understanable! actually like it !!💕

[@baliroses]

thank you I am an older person and just learning how to embroider. I can quilt, cross stitch, mosaics, applique crochet and knit but I just love the vintage embroidery. Your instructions are great for the colonial knot I have trouble with the french knot I have just got a blank brain when it comes to french knots.

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Colonial knots are harder than French knots so if you can do the former then just drop out the initial move of scopping under the needle and you have a french knot!

[@rebecca-familyrich7764]

TFS. Love the colonial knot. I'm going to use this for sure !!

[@evacox5663]

I love all of your videos. You are very skilled and enjoy your teaching right to the point. Thank you for teaching. Wish more schools in Calif. Would offer these classes for students to learn. Sincerely yours,Eva

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Have you tried the San Francisco School of Needlework and Design Eva? It's run by my colleague Lucy who trained with me at the RSN so they teach the same techniques as I do. Just Google them to find their website

[@janhulse9518]

I will be trying this one tomorrow Sarah. Saturday 9th May 2020.

[@sherrywhetstone2692]

I have watched a few videos on colonial knots and this one is by far the best! Thank you!

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Glad it was helpful Sherry!

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Thank you Malini....

[@chenshan69]

you stitches look so neat and precise

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

it's just practice chenshan!

[@globalhikingcr]

I would like to know the different applications of the french knot vs the colonial knot. Are there situations when one is better than the other? Or are they truly interchangeable? Thank you for such fantastic tutorials 🌺

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

A colonial knot has an extra twist in it so looks slightly different and comes out slightly bigger than a French knot; I tend to use colonial knots if I want larger knots and French knots for smaller details. Hope this helps, glad you are enjoying the videos!

[@thehomegardener]

what I would like to see is the lines to fill the rabbit. I always have to to far, and cause a gap. or to close and it looks bunched up. and you did such lovely shading on him.

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

+thehomegardener There has been alot of interest in this design so I'm going to make up a kit of him which will explain all about how to do the shading in the rabbit. There is a Hare version done in the same way in our distance learning class 'Love, Sin and Morality' where this technique is covered fully in video format. For more details on this including costs and enrolment, visit the website here: www.sarahhomfray.com/distancelearning.html

[@thehomegardener]

+Sarah Homfray Thank you for the response and love your work. I am sure the course would be quite a experience. But I already know how to embroider and have Phillipa Turnbull's CD. The wool is much thicker than floss that I am having a hard time with getting it to lay just so when doing the chain stitch. I did the Talliaferro the Royal Persian Blossom. Just was not happy with my stitch placement in the chain and stem stitch. Thought it would be nice to watch it done as you did the long and short stitch in another video. Guess it just takes practice. Have not been doing it long. I mostly quilt.

[@darlenearmes4357]

I love your tutorials so clear and easy to understand. Do you have more tutorials?

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Click on my KZbin page for a list of all of our videos Darlene. We also do distance learning classes which you can see here: www.sarahhomfray.com/distancelearning.html

[@marykessel4707]

Would you do it right to left first if left handed?

[@heylittlejude]

Hi Sarah, just starting with embroidery ! This hare is amazing. Is this all chain stitching? Reminiscent of Van Gogh swirls. Is this available as a kit? 🙂

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

It's split stitching Judith. It is available as a kit but currently out of stock! I have got more coming though! Keep an eye on the website here: www.sarahhomfray.com/myshop/cat_264749-Designs-and-Kits.html

[@monicasalmon-panhuyzen7444]

Beautiful work. Do you have a template available for this design?

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

We have a kit in our shop here Monica: www.sarahhomfray.com/myshop/cat_1038517-Crewel-work-kits.html We sold out at the beginning of the week but we do have more on the way!

[@suganyaj5612]

Hi mam...What mean and difference between colonial knot and French Knot...pls explain about it...😊😊😊

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Check out our video on French knots to see the difference Suganya!

[@suganyaj5612]

Thank you mam...😊😊😊

[@jenniferwright621]

I'm left handed. How do I execute, please?

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

You need to mirror what I'm doing Jennifer so put the needle in your left hand and the thread in your right and scoop underneath the thread from right to left then wrap the thread over the needle and back with your right hand. We do have a left handed stitch library coming!

[@jenniferwright621]

@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery Thank you! Blessings to you Sarah! I love the Colonial and French knots. So much you can do with them! I just haven't been able to do the Colonial but now I bet I can!

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

You could try watching the videos through a mirror Jennifer, would that work?
