Thread Painting Embroidery For Beginners [Leaf Tutorial]

[@godslittlestidiot2984]

thank you for such a clear explanation. i have a learning disability and you have been one of the only people that actually explains things in a way that makes sense. i really appreciated this tutorial, because threadpainting is not something i'm as good at yet.

[@crewelghoul]

You’re welcome! I’m so glad it was helpful. Thanks so much for the kind feedback! 😄

[@adriennedunlap2373]

Thank you for such an informative video. I'm VERY new to embroidery and I like thread painting . I might be jumping into the deep end but thread painting interests me more than just basic embroidery projects. Wish me luck 😀!

[@crewelghoul]

Good luck, you’ve got this! I think it’s actually relatively beginner friendly, plus I’m sure you’ll have more success doing what you’re interested in! 😊

[@carolbenavidez2228]

Thank you so much for explaining your thought process!! Makes such a difference in understanding what to do and why so we can transfer those skills to our own work.

[@crewelghoul]

You’re welcome! Its always been helpful when I’m learning things so I’m really glad it helped you too! 😃

[@crewelghoul]

[@makiroll7288]

I really appreciate this video cuz im working on my fourth embroidery right now and its for a gift. Therefore, I wanted to try to make it look more refined. So far im doing this correctly but your tips are very helpful and I appreciate the way you explain/ show it as well. Doesnt help that its a portrait of a dog so im trying to imitate hair and trying to lay the stiches in the way the hair lays.

[@crewelghoul]

So glad you found it helpful! If you’re ever interested in even more in depth tutorials for pet portraits I do have a ton of videos showing how on my Patreon.

Can I do a back stitch for the outlining the detail? Or should it be back slip stitch? Thank you! Your video is super helpful ❤

[@snmm1029]

Thank you for the video. Lapsed cross stitcher here who is considering getting back into embroidery and I am in love with this technique. How do you anchor the thread?

[@crewelghoul]

You’re welcome! I usually leave a tail or start with a quilters knot ☺️

[@misschrystalle905]

Hello! Thank you for the clear explanation of how to thread paint. May I ask how do you attach the water soluble layer to the top part of your cotton/linen fabric? Do you stretch it overtop of the hoop or underneath or do you sew it down?

[@crewelghoul]

I just sandwich the stabilizer and the fabric together in the hoop! You’ll just want a sheet big enough to fit over the entire hoop ☺️

[@AlwaysGratefulGracey]

Pls make a video on how to transfer patterns.

[@victoriagordon5183]

Thank you, very informative! I am wondering where you got the threaded large card or did you do it yourself? It would be so helpful!

[@crewelghoul]

It’s a DMC thread card! You can get them usually in DMCs website or Amazon :)

[@SallyHobson-Guy]

Great video! Thanks for the tips!

[@crewelghoul]

Thank you! And no problem :)

[@gaiaspirit5313]

Do you sell your work, is there an interest in the market for this craft, I needle felt, so I would like to know before I start buying material if there is money to be made, thank you for your tutorial, it really creates an interest in learning this for me.

[@lynnrose8957]

Thank you very much

[@ljbj4]

wonderful! i’ve a question, i’m new to embroidery/needlework and wondered why one stitches in such a way that requires more hands movement; in other words, push needle down into the fabric and then pull it down verses pushing the needle up and down and then pull thread through the fabric? it seems slower and requires more movement. i hope my question is clear?

[@crewelghoul]

I think I know what you mean! I think you're referring to stabbing vs sewing. It's mostly preference whether you pull the needle and thread all the way through the fabric and then go back up or if you stab or grab the fabric! There may be some embroidery stitches that you find easier to do one way over the other after you practice and find your favorite way!

[@ljbj4]

@@crewelghoul ok thank you! i wasn’t sure how to ask 😳 i’ve subscribed as I want to learn more 🤓 thanks so much!

[@AlwaysGratefulGracey]

For the fabric, would canvas fabric work? About 280gsm?

[@crewelghoul]

Yes I believe that would work!

What type of fabric is best for this type of work.
