    Good for you for jumping into embroidery! I started my needlework life with embroidery... at age 7! I feel too many people are imtimidated, especially when we refer to embroidery stitches as specialty stitches or fancy stitches. It's just another way of employing your needle and thread, right? You could have a lot of fun with the lazy daisy stitch... look at some photos of gerbera daisies for inspiration. You can layer them or bunch them for a very full flower, too. Lazy daisy can also be used for leaves on stems or vines. And french knots make great flower centers LOL. Your previous video talked about knotting thread on the back... with french knots particularly your working thread gets twisted very quickly, thus the knots. You almost have to let it dangle between every stitch. Or give the needle a twist each stitch. best wishes. xoxo

      Thank you for the tips! I was JUST thinking that I need to try my hand at it again soon! I recently got some fabric specifically for more embroidery so lazy daisies might be the way for me to go, I will definitely be looking into that. ♥️♥️

    great video. we have similar tastes... not many of us are doing a Modern Folk annual and a Long Dog at the same time LOL. I'm doing Fruits of Plenty in silver and gold, and Ragnorak in dark antique blue. plus a few other odds and ends. I'm going to enjoying catching up with your latest videos. xoxo

      Thank you!! I am loving how that one is turning out. That project is my first time doing tent stitch and I will definitely do it on future projects! I have heard tent stitch can warp the project sometimes so I was worried about that but I haven’t had any issues so far.

    Hi Jenny - I have done embroidery for many years and French knots come out better and are easier to do when you do them two-handed which means have the fabric very taught in a hoop or q-snap and make it steady and free top and bottom in a stand - either floor stand or lap stand. Then you have one hand above and one below the hoop and your needle "tag teams'" with each hand. Lovely video.
