I'm new to embroidery even though I've been sewing and cross-stitching for years. My first project requires me to learn 6 types of embroidery stitches but the illustrated guide wasn't clear at all. I'm so happy to have found your KZbin videos. Thank you for making them.

[@sunsetskye9]

I usually have a difficult time following directions from videos but your videos are so clear and easy to see what you're doing, and they're not too long for my short attention span! Thank you so much!!

[@MissFlux]

Back back back again! .. hehe I always come back here when I've been working on a piece of embroidery & then I have to switch to another stitch .. I'm putting it down to age .. but I just sometimes go "ummm😕 WHAT!? Why can't I remember how this goes!?" Lol. You just get straight to the point, as it were, & it's perfect for me. Thanks again, always🙋👏

I couldn't figure out how to do this stitch from written diagrams, and your instructions were so clear and simple. Thank you!

[@MellowMuttsASMR]

i just gotta say...i paid for a big course on craftsy and while the teacher was good, your examples are SO much clearer that I end up going to your videos almost every time just to make sure I'm doing it right! Thank you for this

[@CutesyCrafts]

So glad they are helpful. I should make my own course. ;)

[@MellowMuttsASMR]

@@CutesyCrafts you totally should!!!!!!

[@wendycotter1727]

I really want to thank you for helping me. I needed to know how to do a stem stich and an outline stich, and your demonsration is so nice and clear . The camera is so perfectly close and thank you for using the fabric you did so I could see.. and I did my first few with you, pausing at each place. Both stiches look perfect!!!!

[@sandracooper2390]

Thank you!! You are an excellent teacher!! I used this stitch to embroider the fishing line for a fishing pole on a quilt!!

[@msrose4051]

thank you for creating videos for people who need the basics

[@thiyaradesilva26]

OH MY GOD THIS LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER you are a god sent!!

[@Grobohalic]

The stem stitch is actually the main stitch I use in my projects, as opposed to the back stitch. It’s the stitch my Grandma taught me when I was a kid so it’s what I’m most comfortable with. When I learned the back stitch later, I discovered I didn’t like the look as much as the stem stitch. I guess Grandma was right.

[@tiwitiwi9969]

During stay home, i learn how to do embroidery. And all your video are help me. Thanks. Greetings from Indonesia.

[@deliabottoms285]

Hello! Thank you for such a clear demonstration! Recently I have become aware of how important it is to choose the right needle for embroidery. Do you have such a video that shows the differences between needles? I have always thought that a needle is a needle with the difference being the tip and the eye, but apparently I was wrong! I know there are other videos out there on the topic, but some our little too deep and others don't show enough. I would love to see one demonstrated by you.😊

[@rebeccarellaford2026]

you have such a calming voice :)
