Seed Stitch: The Easiest Embroidery Technique

[@Nanna-bm4ov]

Thank you, Marion, for taking the time to refresh and/or teach us these stitches. You are a natural teacher and very easy to follow! Looking forward to the next ones.

[@Iamgone1961]

Thank you Marion, for those of us who have never embroidered before these little tutorials are wonderful ❤❤❤❤❤

[@marionsworld24]

Thank you. I hesitated to do them because I just thought there's plenty of other people's tutorials out there and I didn't want to just replicate them. And then I thought maybe I'd do the stitches I was using each week...☺️👍🧵🪡

Good morning from NZ Marion, like you, I love the seed stitch, they are pretty, very relaxing stitch to do and make the design pops. Thank you Marion for sharing. Bless you, Thelma.

[@maramakesjournals2319]

I love these short tutorials. Seed stitch is a very cool stitch because it looks organic/unintentional. Thank you for this video! 💜💜💜

I find this to be such a relaxing stitch and it brings lovely texture to a piece.

[@marionsworld24]

Definitely..

Thank you Marion!

[@JudeThompson224]

Thank you for the tutorial videos. Trying to learn embroidery so I can participate in the current journal.

[@marionsworld24]

Just jump right in Jude... I started it really simply with beginners in mind ☺️🪡🧵

[@blissfulacresoffgridhomest2098]

MARION you are my hero! Thank you, thank you THANK YOU! I might be able to catch up on my stitching now! Unless I am doing a running stitch,, I constantly have to look up each stitch each time I want to stitch. ❤😊❤

[@marionsworld24]

I'll be adding a stitch each Friday hopefully... Probably something connected with the Wednesday video..

[@blissfulacresoffgridhomest2098]

@@marionsworld24 I am so happy 😊 for this!

[@glennissalls4734]

These stitch tutorials are just what I need. I have fallen behind on the book and really need to keep opening the video and looking for the how to part of the lesson. It is not really a problem but boy, this makes it easier for me to check the way a stitch should be done. Thanks Marion.

[@LS030]

Lovely! Thank you so much!🌸🦋⭐️🌷✌️🪷💃

[@annrubino6252]

Nice one, Marion. When in doubt, do seed stitch! You can tell, I am a somewhat lazy slow stitcher. Thanks for suggesting going back in with a second colour or tone. Hope you are enjoying your summer.

[@marionsworld24]

A second colour can really make a big difference...

Thank you, Marion❤

Easy but makes a statement on your work. Thank you. 💖💖💖

[@suepadgham4783]

Thank you very helpful, and very opportune, trying to do a very small landscape applique, perfect stitch for that. ❤

[@ceciliaarnold3101]

I appreciate this stitch and look forward to more. Thank you!

[@pamfrank3962]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent ❤

[@carolreid9755]

Thank you Marion for your video as always. As I said before my problem is getting the stitches random, but in one comment you sorted it for me. Where you see a space fill it ( and also change direction). I have tried it (before commenting) works a treat. I am the car who got the cream. 😘😘

[@marionsworld24]

Excellent! I'm happy I helped 😊

[@phylliswilliamstn]

I needed this tutorial. Thanks! 😊

[@lesahanners5057]

How lovely. Now I know the name of the stitch I used as part of my last quilt and didn't even know it. I was just find it delicious that what I did actually has a name. 😅 I learn something new every time I watch. This just made my day! 😊❤

[@RebeccaStokes-g6t]

Thank you so much!

[@marjanwolfs6273]

See you doing this stitch, it reminds me of making a fabric book: sew4thesoul in 2020. I made a circle full with the seed stitch. As always I tought it was something done in a short time. But is wasn't, it tooks forever because I made many many little seed stitches. They are very easy to sew, but don't make very small stitches on a larger area. 😂Have a nice weekend and thank you.

[@marionsworld24]

Yes it's quite a time consuming stitch if you're using a fine thread... It'll take forever! Sew4thesoul sounds like it was an interesting project 🤔

[@marjanwolfs6273]

It was a challenge from Anne Brooke. She has you tube videos.One of my sisters told me about her and I liked the idea of making a fabric book. Every week a page with different stitches or forms (shapes). It was in Covid-time and you couldn't go anywhere.

[@JudeThompson224]

Thank you for all you do! Making my little sampler now from this playlist. Will there be a tutorial of the blue flower on your sampler?

[@marionsworld24]

Yes there will... It featured in my Stitch Journal recently. You can find it in Week 23 of the Stitch Journal playlist...👍

What needle do you use to put in three strands? I have a hard time getting two in my needle if they are too thick.

[@Carol_Sews]

I have found that you can’t go just by needle size, like size 7. Different brands of embroidery needles have eyes of a different width and length. I have some needles whose eyes are so narrow that getting more than one strand of floss in at a time is impossible.

[@josiesanchez4407]

@@Carol_Sews so any recommendations! I am new to slow stitching and just trying to get an arsenal of good and dependable tools.

[@Carol_Sews]

@@josiesanchez4407 I started with DMC needles from Wal-Mart because they were cheap and available. I bought packages of sizes 1-5 and 5-10. They are OK, but their eyes are narrow and difficult to thread. Their points also develop burrs, and the needles have to be discarded. Later I bought tubes of Tulip brand - the thin assortment and the thick assortment. I use sizes 5, 6, 7, and 8 most often. When I use 3 strands of floss, I probably use a 7 or larger. (The lower the number, the larger the needle.) I need a 3 or larger if the fabric is thick and I have 6 strands of floss. You’ll also need large needles if you want to use perle cotton. If you want to make French knots easily, you’ll want some milliner’s needles because the eye has the same diameter as the needle’s shaft. The thread will slip through the knot much more easily. I’d recommend starting with size 7 or 8. There are numerous KZbin videos regarding choosing type and size of needle for slow-stitching. Some people use embroidery needles while others like milliner’s, chenille, or sashiko needles.

[@marionsworld24]

Carol has given you some good information there. I would just add that - if you can afford to..get yourself good needles. They do make a difference. Otherwise I have no idea at all about the sizes. If you are struggling to thread the strands through the eye, just use a bigger eye! I match the eye of the needle to the thickness of the thread. Then match the point of the needle to the fabric or what I'm trying to do. If you have a thick strand you need a thicker eye so it makes a bigger hole in the fabric so you can pull your thread through... If you're using one strand you can have a small eye and a finer needle because you won't need as large a hole. If you don't want to split the fabric use a blunt point tapestry needle. Hope that has helped... To summarise... just use what works and don't worry too much about it!
