I'm a beginner at embroidering. Your videos are so helpful. I learn best by watching. You explain everything well and have a soothing voice. I've watched other people's videos. You seem to show the proper way to do the different stitches and techniques. Thank you for all your videos. Congratulations on your 100k award!

I am a left handed beginner and am having problems with blanket stitch, your sampler video is genius, I will set that up and practice my stitches. I have started slow stitching using scraps to hopefully decorate the pieces to make a square denim rice bag. No ginger cat today... Many thanks for all your help with my new hobby.

Thanks for the tutorial. There is a cross stitch called Sampler of Stitches by the Drawn Thread. It looks really nice. In watching people talk about it on KZbin, there are certain stitches that have given them more trouble than others. I keep thinking that this is where practicing them before hand would come in handy. They've had to unpick some several times and redoing them. I'm thinking of getting it, but if I do, I'm making a sampler of the stitches first. It's a great tip.
