I just watched this for the first time and I'm absolutely awe struck at the creativity and skill of your viewers who shared their samplers. Much Respect!

[@susannecoachingzentrum7354]

The first time I understood the meaning of colonial knots and how to make them. Thank you very much.

[@margaretlayhe6188]

Enjoyed that video, Sarah. Those 3 knots will be just the job for my current project. Thanks 😊

[@barbarasack8273]

I did a lot of embroidery while growing up (more years ago than I like to think about) but this is the first I've heard of the colonial knot. Thank you, Sarah, for showing this.

[@angelacornell8660]

Good morning from Canberra ❤ love French knots ,Colonial knots and Pistil stitch ❤❤❤

[@elainewilliams6456]

Really helpful. I am in my 70s and when I was very young my grandmother taught me to embroidery and now 60 plus years later you are teaching me more stitches. Thank you sooo much I have a terrible back and spend a lot of time in my chair….usually crocheting but am getting set up to do some slow stitching, thank you again for all the help.

[@kathydavis5548]

You have a wonderful way of teaching to make the stitch easy to stitch. Thank you so much.

[@cathykrueger4899]

French knots make great little sheep.

[@kim-notkym..4976]

Love French knots I find them quite cathartic.

[@stormeliz7406]

Thank you. Your stitches are very easy to see! I appreciate it!

[@alicebrown9396]

I love watching your work.

[@judymarkel8029]

That is pretty good. Making a colonial knot with your left hand. I'm left handed and it took a lot of weird knots to figure out the colonial knot. I think the French knot was my second stitch learned. I wish I had all my practice pieces from the 1960's. Thank you for all of your teaching

[@jennilangford8090]

I had my first lefthanded student and it was in my Candlewicking workshop. So thank you thank you for this video. My weekend starts with your Friday video. ❤ lots of loves and hugs from South Africa.🎉

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Candlewicking is colonial knots if I remember rightly?

[@jennilangford8090]

Yes it is.

[@pjinlaca5489]

Your instructions are always sooo clear! I happen to like French knots but you’ve told me how to make the, more uniform…. Thanks !

[@robynreid3027]

Greetings from colonial New Zealand! I have done gazillions of French knots but avoided colonial ones but your clear explanation encourages me to launch into them!

[@debbievignola8275]

The Colonial knot I struggled with. Great tutorial. I think I can do this now. =^^=

[@Tania-xu7xe]

Always learning with your videos. 😍The pistol stitch will be great for the dandelion clocks I was planning on doing. THANK YOU.

[@J2u-j4j]

thank you for this tutorial. I had been trying all morning to get my knots right now after watching you they look perfect thank you

[@christineheslin5702]

Thank you Professor Homfray

[@kim-notkym..4976]

Lol. X

[@cherhutch]

French knots is my favorite stitch. It looks so easy when you do it.

[@misskathy903]

lovely Sarah i will have a go at doing that Thank you for showing Hun .

[@denisemountain4887]

Thank you for showing the left-handed way of working Sarah, it was really useful (especially for the colonial knot, which has bamboozled me so many times when trying to work it right-handed).

[@heden1460]

I have never done a colonial knot before. I'll have to try it.

[@windlessoriginals1150]

Thank you

[@carolinegreenwell9086]

love your blouse - makes it look like you have a lei round your neck

[@judithgrace8359]

Pearle cotton is my favorite to stitch so many things with…

[@susanjeffries2615]

French knots are so useful and the colonial stitch is good too..love them all

[@cynthiacarter532]

I almost exclusively use Colonial Knots over French Knots, they're more even in shape and just a bit larger. Plus more fun to stitch!

[@janethill82]

I love french knots, but I guess I've been doing them wrong. I am right handed and I wrap the thread around the needle coming towards me and 4 times. Guess I will try your way, looks like less work. Love the series of stitches on my slow stitched sampler. Thank you Sarah.

[@Karelife]

I love doing French knots. It’s about the only stitch I’m really good at.

[@jennilangford8090]

Yes it is. There is also a Japanese knot. Found it when I was doing my research. 😊

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

I would be interested to know what that looks like Jenni!

Очень круто!

[@bobn19uk]

Very informative thanks, could you show bullion knots, can they be done without a frame. Thanks

[@SK-ki1te]

🥰

[@JenniferMcKay-sr2gq]

Sarah, can you tell me where you get the wooden reel you put your stitch sampler around please?

[@kayherstedt6618]

Is a needle of the same thickness the whole length best for French knots? I think I saw that online. What type/size needle is best for perle cotton? Thank you!

[@susannehubbell2799]

I can't really tell the difference in the two knots. The colonial looks like a French knot with thicker thread!
