Fantastic tutorial and inspiring to see a male craftee

[@SequoiaSleeps]

Jay Cadiramen Agreed, as a teenage boy I always feel kinda left out from the sewing world, especially quilting. So many white blonde wine moms. So many.

[@nameissturdy1390]

@@SequoiaSleeps Would love to see more guys doing crafts of any kind. Someone needs to be the next Tim Holtz! Or a helpful KZbinr with great instructional videos like this.

@@SequoiaSleeps I met a nice Lancashire man as a child, and his crotchet,,knitting,embroidery etc. was something to behold. When he was hospitalised after being wounded in ww2 he filled his time doing these “ domestic” skills which won the admiration of many, including the ladies. That’s not all. He was a fab cook too. Times have changed.👍

[@ayeletdrago]

this man is so gentle and has such a nice, soft, calming presence. this is both therapeutic and enlightening. i can't wait to start embroidering

[@lovecraftscom]

That is so kind of you Egg - we'll pass that comment on to Adam! xx

[@elenae1651]

Is no one else in shock at how perfectly he finds the beginning of each line with the needle? So precise.

[@lovecraftscom]

We'll let him know Elena!! He's a master stitcher! Sending kind wishes from the LoveCrafts team! x

[@randipoch4675]

What doesn’t he show how he finishes off the running stitch? Or even show the backside? The back side of the project should be as neat and tidy as the front side of the project. I could follow only because I did learn from a person with many years of experience.

I love that sound! Embroidery videos, for me, are all about how much I hear that sound!

[@Laura-vc7er]

This man needs to narrate audiobooks. He has the most relaxing voice

[@margaretvella3557]

Chain stitch looked different from what we did at school, but I bow to his expertise.

[@A_C839]

I noticed that too.

he is the Mr. Rogers of embroidery tutorials!!! so lovely

I have watched so many embroidery for beginners tutorials, this is by far the best I have seen. Easy to follow and no speed ups 🙌 I have subscribed and saved this video for reference. Thank you for taking the time to make this.

[@lindaouk3713]

I just started Embrodery💯 glad I found your clear and very nice demonstrations of the basic stitches. Thank you for showing and sharing👍

With this gentleman's melodic voice and calm cadence, I would gladly listen to him narrating paint drying!

[@catboydoctor]

its so wonderful to see a man leading this tutorial. sometimes i feel like the only guy in the world who likes to sew. ALL arts and activities should be for EVERYONE!

[@bobd2028]

We sure are few in nos. bro.

[@NightTimeDay]

You just have to own that it's a feminine interest 🤷‍♀️ it's like girls into PC gaming. No men are stopping them from playing, and no women are stopping you from embroidering! Enjoy the crafting :)

[@Iamedsmum]

Thank you for your excellent tutorial Adam. I have been embroidering for a number of years and your clear, concise instruction is, I feel, exactly what a beginner need to set them on the right embroidery path. You are a natural teacher! Best wishes Marion in the UK

[@caroldutton9194]

Adam, thank you so much for your wonderful, non-patronizing video for Embroidery beginners. Your calm voice and easy manner draws the listener in and allows you to concentrate, without interruption, therefore taking every bit of information both audio and visual, in. Cannot wait to watch others. Thank you and best of luck with it all.

[@queenie9633]

A lot of people do tutorials or embroidery but your the first person to actually help me!!! Thanks sooo much

[@transmeeshax6872]

Thank you for actually giving some explanation instead of just assuming I am as good at it as you are. a rarity among embroidery tutorials

[@amyww]

Adam is my favorite teacher. So calming. I feel like he would be very patient with my terrible stitches.

[@AshBDashSmash]

Thank you for the explanations of the stitches! I purchased a kit that teaches you how to do many types of stitches, but the included video has no explanations, so my stitches weren't being done properly. Hearing someone say how the stitch is done while showing it is so helpful!

[@lovecraftscom]

That's so wonderful to hear! 🥰

[@aspengrey1898]

I Love it when a guy engages in craft. Subscribed.

[@tic857]

This man's soothing voice helped me fall asleep during a night of insomnia

[@haleymarsh1929]

I've watched so many videos as I'm a beginner but this was the only one that truly clicked with me! THANK YOU so much

[@VictorAndScience]

I just come here to relax with his soothing voice :)

[@rosyposy6164]

Thank you. I am a complete beginner and needed clear instructions to get started. This was very clear and logical and moved along at a sensible pace. The guy has a gentle, soothing voice which seems really suitable for instructing on such a peaceful craft.

[@amdza]

Thank you so much! This is exactly what a complete novitiate needs to get started.

[@harmonyroselane421]

I’m a card maker, paper crafter, and many of my favorite papercrafting goddesses do embroidery on their cards. There are stitching cutting dies, and since I have them, it’s time for me not to fear stitching and just dive in. I found your video, and only a few minutes in, and oh my, thank you! Looking forward to growing my craft repertoire and stitch with the big girls!

[@janelovett4982]

Adam does a great job explaining the stitch with nice visuals in a calming voice. Some videos are way too fast for learning a new stitch and some are way too wordy. He's is just right.

[@applewish8321]

I am getting an embroidery kit so I just had to watch this video

[@meera3024]

omg samee I ordered mine 2 days ago, have you started embroidering?

mine just arrived in the mail today so im watching a ton of videos lol

[@jonigordon6596]

I just finished my 1st one. Not perfect, but not totally horrible.

[@TheJanestarling]

This by far the best beginner video I've watched. Adam's voice is so calm & he explains everything so well.

[@traceybell4511]

Thank you so much for the video. You're voice is so calming and relaxing that it made me jump up and find my embroidery project, which I then did whilst listening to the video. I haven't touched it in ages so, again, thank you for the inspiration.

[@hilarycohen1470]

Stem stitch, aka outline stitch,is my personal favorite. Adam should mention what it’s used for, as he does with others! Very good tutorial

[@starbl00m]

i’ve started embroidering for a few days now, and i always have trouble with the french knot stitch. where it would knot at the surface of the fabric :| but i’m still getting started! i have hope

[@aprilpuckett6525]

I watched several videos trying to learn the French knot. You made it so specifically clear. Thank you very much!!!

[@Jacqueline-es5yb]

Thank you, I am a complete novice and know nothing, so this was fantastic, much appreciated.

[@canicaspalmas6288]

I've been looking at other videos, no disrespect but they don't mention how many threads they use....I just kept looking for a video that tells how many threads, & you explain each stitch...I love that....

[@galew6289]

Your instructions are so clear and uncomplicated. Thank you!

[@sundaecone888]

Of all the stitches, my running stitch was the ugliest. Hahaha! But all my bad, though, because Adam is a superb teacher; his voice is soothing, his instructions, clear. I wish he lived next door to me.

[@CherylConti]

Love seeing him separate the floss. My Mother always did this. I thought it was for the look which, it probably was. Cool.

[@c0ppersulfate]

[@pamogren5707]

using this tutorial ... constantly. Thank you so much.

[@lovecraftscom]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Vampkiki]

Wonderful tutorial. French knots seem to be my nemesis. (Half are perfect half are wonky.) Biggest issue found was that most tutorials go too quickly with a right handed teacher (complicated it for my left handed self), forget to mention to move to a nearby position (not the starting hole), and attempt to use a length of thread that is inappropriate for beginners (too long or way too short). But yours allows for easier viewing and a good place with a great explanation (so either hand can figure it out). Thanks so much for this.

[@Sorana44]

Your voice is so soothing and beautiful!! Thank you

[@priyakamath886]

Excellent teaching and neat and tidy embroidary.

[@michellewohlgemuth8847]

Your tutorial is explained wonderfully, I am a beginner & have not seen the chain or daisy stitch done that way, it’s cool done that way. When you were explaining the daisy stitch, I could not find how you got there. Will go & look for it again an other video. Enjoyed your relaxed teaching & explanations. Thank you for sharing 👏🏻👏🏻

[@maniaggarwal3571]

Today is my first day when I will be doing embroidery also I saw your video first to learn embroidery thank you

[@RahulPawa]

This video is very helpful. I'm a total beginner, trying out different stitches. I was trying the chain stitch, and a lot of other videos tell you to bring the needle up through a loop of thread. I found that method very difficult. This method of going under the previous stitch was MUCH easier, and looks lovely. I look forward to trying the other stitches in this video.

[@valeriemcskeeter]

i would watch a video of this man reading the dictionary

[@cheryellemley-mcroy6758]

Thank you for explaining this, it really helps beginners. I've tried watching other vidoes, they show you but don't explain and I find that frustrating. So thank you.

[@sarahconners9217]

Thanks for the quick information! I have never done embroidery, but, at the request of a niece to make her a doll for her birthday, I found myself needing to stitch a simple face. I didn't have a hoop (at all) and definitely not one small enough, but I managed. It turned out great, and the stitching is pretty neat, thanks to your great tutorial! I ended up using the back stitch and satin stitch. Thanks!!

[@ludel5527]

I've seen so many ways to do a chain stitch, this way is different than all the rest. It looks easier, I'll have to try it.

[@lovecraftscom]

[@swaathirameshwar8542]

Perfectly explained. Being a beginner in embroidery, I found this one very useful. Thanks for this content!

[@TiredMomma]

I appreciated how many threads you were using per stitch type and how clear your instructions are. I just watched 2 other videos and they don't mention how many threads each time like you do. That extra detail to know is very helpful. Thank you. I may follow my late mothers footsteps. She made clothes and knew even how to repair a sewing machine. She also made stuffed dolls and I remember when I was 2yrs old, watching her make my dress with a matching purse doll. I still have it to this day. She was taught by her step mother, Thelma, who made dresses for her granddaughters, so the dresses my mom made me, look just like how, Thelma, made dresses for her granddaughters.
