Long and short stitch with split. The best stitch for color blending, to fill big areas

[@hannahzechariah5062]

This video was great. At the end when you were showing your examples. I couldn't believe they were not satin stitch. That's something to aspire to!

[@Faimyxstitch]

Thanks for watching!

[@Zocchihedron]

I have been looking for a stitch like this ever since I realized the satin stitch only works for small areas. Thank you!

[@Faimyxstitch]

Glad it was helpful!

[@misselanys1219]

I am all thumbs when it comes to the long and short and yet my satin stitch is near perfection. My mind just does not compute illogical designs. Can you do a tutorial on how to fill in a large background going step by step for us dummies in the split long short stitch? You are incredibly talented. ❤

[@Faimyxstitch]

Thank you so much! I'll think of what I can film 🤔

[@sonjafield]

Wow this was so incredibly clear and helpful! Thanks for showing all the different examples - it really helps to see what works less well, and what works better. Thank you!

Thanks for the great tutorial on using long and short stitch with split for color blending! Your technique for filling big areas is so helpful and easy to follow. Can you tell me the font in video

[@Faimyxstitch]

Glad it was helpful! Do you mean the font for subtitles?

[@sofiaarkia3079]

you are amazing! i only know the classic long and short stitch and i hated how it shows visible hole and wonder how others do long and short stitch perfectlyyy without holes. i looked at tons other videos and no videos explain it the way u are. thank you!!

[@Faimyxstitch]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ChuckyBumbleBee]

Great video, thanks! What did you use to get rid of the holes in the fabric?

[@Faimyxstitch]

Thank you! It's the back side of the seam ripper

[@naiierawageeh_]

Your works are amazing ❤️ Thank you for the tutorial

[@Faimyxstitch]

Thanks so much 😊

[@Lex101TheGirl]

(Not sure if you'll see this) I loved this video because it demystified how I would see beautiful embroidery projects w huge spaces filled w stitching and I didnt know how they did it. I tried doing what you did here but it looked rough and not smooth, would you have any pointers?

[@Faimyxstitch]

Thank you! Hard to give tips without seeing your embroidery. Maybe you don't have enough fabric or thread tension, maybe the look you want requires less strands and so on

[@Lex101TheGirl]

@@Faimyxstitch thank you so much for answering! I’ll definitely try out these tips 😊😊

[@vasudha7278]

this was such a helpful video !!! i have been looking for such a tutorial for so long !! thank you for your help ! beyond grateful just a small question- if i have sky to fill with this stitch, would it be better if i stitched horizontally or vertically ? i was thinking horizontally ? as it will be easier to navigate through the clouds in the sky in my piece.

[@Faimyxstitch]

I would do it horizontally - easier to blend colors

[@vasudha7278]

@@Faimyxstitch thanks again !

[@SamDioneda]

when you were doing the tip of the mountain part in explaining the split and long & short, how many strands did you use?

[@Faimyxstitch]

3 strands

[@dagwoodspott2199]

AWESOME !!! Do you only go down through the stitch or come up as well ? ;) Thanks for sharing ;D

[@Faimyxstitch]

Thank you! You can do both, I prefer coming down - that's how I have more control

[@shathawardha1460]

Thank you so much for this ❤️❤️❤️

[@Faimyxstitch]

You are so welcome!

[@carolatherdesk6192]

Do you outline last? Or start with an outline and then fill? Or does it depend?

[@Faimyxstitch]

It depends on the project. For me, it's more comfortable to finish with an outline while doing landscapes, for example. And otherwise when I'm making an architectural piece.

[@fathimahussain8539]

It was great vedio.. Could u please make a vedio on the fabrics u use..? It will be very helpful.

[@Faimyxstitch]

Thank you! I have video about fabric, it's one of the first ones

What material of cloth have you used in this video tutorial ?

[@Faimyxstitch]

This is Kona cotton

How do you split a single thread

[@Faimyxstitch]

you don’t split single mouline cotton thread. It consists out of 6 strands. Each of this six can‘t be split further and used
