Are you interested in Slow Stitching but don’t know any fancy Embroidery stitches? Hint: You don’t need to! Wondering where to start? Let me help! I’ll demonstrate how to create beautiful effects using only 1 stitch - the straight stitch. This versatile stitch has endless variations and possibilities. I’ll talk about needles and supplies, and demonstrate a technique to create clean edges on the base fabric. Next I’ll build a fabric collage and then it’s time for layers of stitching- all using the simple straight stitch. Join me! Check out the links to my other videos that just might help you find a fun entry point for getting going with slow stitching. #slowstitching

I'm finally back working on the piece again. We've been traveling 2400 miles in our 5th wheel with our three cats from Arizona to Western New York so that has kept us busy. I made some crosses and circles today. The circles were surprisingly difficult but I was able to do them. Actually the crosses were a bit of a challenge too. But I'm sure it will get easier.

[@peaceofpi-studio]

Sounds great! So nice to have a stitching project to work on during your adventure!😊🧵🪡

[@favoritegigi5723]

Thank you for this great tutorial! I’ve been wanting to start slow stitching but was afraid of all the stitches. This is what I was looking for, a “bite size” project I can work on and not be afraid of.❤😊

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I started making this piece today and it's my first time doing slow stitching. I started out copying as closely as I could, like following a recipe for the first time. But once I started outlining the pieces, I started to choose my own colors rather than copying the same ones that you chose for each piece. I'm still working on outlining. Hopefully I can work on it more tomorrow. Thank you again. I'm excited to have finally started my first piece!

[@peaceofpi-studio]

I love that😊Following a recipe is a great way to think of it and then making it your own is the next level. So perfect!😊🧵🪡

@@peaceofpi-studio awesome. Thank you!

[@wendywilson1736]

I'm not understanding why the stitches need to be so close together. Batting these days really don't require that. I use prints for a variety on my quilt top. But, I like to be able to See the variety of the prints. 😏 When I quilt with this type of thread, I like to do free style wavy lines, but they are within the spacing recommended on the quilt batting package. 💁‍♀️

[@peaceofpi-studio]

That sounds like a beautiful way to quilt. For the slow stitching I do, the stitches are decorative, expressive and artistic and not intended to function as quilting. It’s all very freeform where a little or a lot of stitching can be added. I tend to stitch very heavily, more like painting and mark making but there are no rules! Even when I hand quilt on wholecloth I tend to stitch closer than is necessary for function like here kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZikYZ2bid2jacU
