Thank you Sarah, I loved watching you create the beautiful illuminated letter !

Lovely. Your choice of music see me visualising being whirled around the ballroom wearing the most gorgeous, full skirted dress imaginable. Thank you for both the beautiful work and the music. A total delight.

So elegant..you are such a talented woman, Sarah, and I enjoy your videos so very much. You inspire us to go above and beyond with our own needlework. Thank you!

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Thank you Cynthia! Some of these designs aren't so hard when you see them broken down into stages...

[@cynthiaesquibel3191]

Sarah Homfray Embroidery Be that as it may, it still takes talent to do it so well, and talent to be able to teach through video and make it so easy to understand. You are a very modest lady, Sarah! I so enjoy watching you!

Hi Sarah , I am interested in the gorgeous goldwork embroidery I always thought it was way to hard! Now seeing this I have bought one of your lovely kits to see how I go. Would the kite tutorial be the best as I do love this Lettering one too perhaps I could create my own letter and design. Thank You for sharing you have really inspired me.

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Thank you TracyLee! The kite design would be a great one to start with, it has just a few of the basic techniques to get you going in this lovely technique...

Супер!!, профессионально.👍🤗

[@MbSaidSo]

I have only recently found your channel and I am learning so much! May I ask why you painted rather than stitched the blue? I one more "traditional" than the other? Gorgeous in any case!!

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Because it's quicker Marybeth!

[@MbSaidSo]

Best reason of all!

[@elainemarsh3008]

Simple piece made simple to do, I like the way you pull your big gold threads through, I will try that in future and it makes life easier and a better result, but I've still not cracked the sewing down on reverse of the thick threads, mine become bulky and I have to separate the threads and then sew down individually but I do use thicker threads in my work. I do use your online shop too and FB. Great stuff.🌹

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Thanks for your kind comments Elaine, glad you are finding useful! Yes tie down bulky threads one at a time; the ones I use tend to be quite fine so I will make a judgement if I think I can sew two or more down together. If you mount your gold pieces you can put a layer of padding/wadding on the back to cushion the bulky ends so that they don't show.

[@Velciraptor12]

Wonderful videos! I was wondering if for the couching you could use polyester thread rather than cotton, and if you could embroider on to wool felt. I'm afraid to plunge my cords as I'm nervous that the fabric will not be able to handle it. Amazing videos!

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

The thread is polyester Seth in this case; I find cotton just breaks too easily. You can also embroider on anything you like! I would advise however, that for more unusual fabrics like felt that you experiment on a spare bit first to see what happens. You could also consider an iron on vilene to give the felt some stability if it's looking a bit fragile.

It's Japanese goldwork thread, this one here: www.sarahhomfray.com/myshop/prod_2610771-Japanese-thread-No12-K2-gold-colour-2-x-2m.html

[@kellybellstitches3383]

Very beautiful - I love the micro beading and the Japanese Thread. Can you tell us what fabric and thread count? Thank you so very much - inspiring work.

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

The fabric is a linen medium weight fabric that I use in a lot of my work. Glad you are enjoying!

perfeccion es contigo ...nil gracias!!!!

[@gailreece9670]

May I ask what fabric paint you use pls. You are so inspiring was lucky enough to get gold work tools for my birthday so just to order materials x

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

I used watercolour paint for this one Gail but Fabric paint would be more permanent

[@stephaniepack2003]

You had to have had me in mind when you made this ... the letter "S" and in blue! Simply gorgeous. I have two questions ... What fabric did you use and why did you make those random stitches along the lines ? Thank you so much for making this video.

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

The fabric is a cream medium weight linen Stephanie and the little stitches are holding stitches worked at the beginning and end of a length of thread to stop it coming undone. Much better than unsightly knots!

You can use anything you like Janet but natural fabrics are best. I've used a cotton/linen blend
