I've been trying to tell the ppl watching this instructor that Sarah is amazing at teaching anything they want to learn especially as beginners.
When you learn from a mediocre teacher, you can only reach a subpar level yourself. When you learn from a master, you can also hope to become great. I believe that this tutorial gives us all the potential to become great at embroidery. Excellent technique, perfect explanation and very clear instruction!
Thank you so much for your kind feedback Kaisasha; we spend a lot of time working on our videos so it's really appreciated. Glad you are enjoying!
True!
You need to look at Phillipa’s Crewel Corner, then you will know a master!
Absolute truth. You have said it all. She is amazing and I suspect very patient.
I agree! Thank you Sarah!
this is probably the best camera setup i have ever seen. it's evident that you know just what you are showing on the camera view. no obstructions, clear camera quality. audio is clear, this is SO good.
Thank you so much entirepizza! We try really hard to get these things right so it's wonderful to get your feedback and know that it's appreciated
From Beth, not Russ. I teach painting classes and, as a teacher, I want to applaud you for your videos. You are an incredible teacher. Clear, complete, slow enough to easily follow, generous with your tips and advice, expansive with the “why we do it this way” explanations and beautifully filmed. I’m returning to embroidery after decades long absence and it is a joy to watch your videos. Thank you so much! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Beth, very kind of you! I hope you enjoy finding your love of embroidery again..
Finally - found a video that shows how to fasten on and off a thread without having to turn the frame over. I've watched loads and never seen this before. Thank you Sarah. You are a genius!
We have a whole video on the method here Nina!

You’re a wonderful teacher. Such clear, simple instructions.
Easy to listen to and FULL of information and tips. Wish I'd run across her sooner!
Better late than never goldpig (?!)! Welcome onboard the embroidery train 😁!
I love the way you explain things and you have such a soothing voice. Thanks so much and I am saving these for sure.
I like the way you teach and explain what you’re doing 👍
I love watching your videos and wish the internet had been available when I was learning to embroider because my Mam didn’t know many stitches. You explain it well. Thank you.
I agree Eileen, what a wonderful resource it is! Glad you are enjoying the videos...
You are such a good teacher and so inspirational. The best part is that you make it less scary to do this projects. Thank you as always.
Finally found the best instructional video. Love your mastery, detailed, and patient method of teaching. Thank you!
Thank you for watching Lorena!
Absolutely beautiful. And watching this gave me a lightbulb 💡 moment. Now gotta redo a flower I had started. Thank you for sharing this tutorial with us. Your stitching is just stunning and a total joy to watch you work your magic
I have a new respect for your talents. I'm trying to do long/short stitches. Oh my. Tangled threads & direction - I'd accomplish as much with my feet. Bless you for offering these videos. Its back to practice for me.
Take it slowly Jan! Simplify it and just start with one colour and work a whole row in that colour concentrating on the edge and the stitch angle. Change colour for the second row and do the same. Small steps!
It was amazing to see the petal come to life. Thank you for sharing this marvelous tutorial.
Absolutely loved watching you do this one! I was mesmerized! Another to add to my list of “gotta try!” 😊
I'm a beginner at embroidery and your tutorials are great. Thank you.
Glad they are helping heden 1!
Hi Sarah, I love how in depth you explain in your videos. You are a great teacher!
Thank you Deborah!
I have gotten 2 more people interested in Thread Embroidery from your youtube channel and sent them to you to watch LOL Just love your easy step by step instructions Thanks you so much for making these videos
Thank you Professor Homfray
I was so confused from things I learned as a kid and WOW you just retaught me and showed me different things I didn't know, I couldn't Thank you enough, I have subscribed to your channel for everything
Welcome onboard Cindy!
Thank you for a wonderful video. It gives me courage to keep trying.
I really love the parts where you would give additional tips in embroidery especially on which parts one should should start stitching on, which parts should be stitched first and many other concerns that we may encounter. thank you so much!
Your videos are the best, you show us step by step and there is alot iv learned from your videos, thankyou so much.
Thank you for making this instruction so detailed, it really demystifies this technique!
Thank you so much for your thorough instruction. You're a delightful person. So easy to learn from!
Beautiful result though challenging to work with three threads simultaneously. Excellent tutorial with everything we need to know, nothing is left unsaid. Thank you very much!
I used to be so intimidated by long and short stitch/silk shading, but your video makes it fun and not scary at all! Thanks!
So good to hear Abbey! Just practice on small areas until you get the hang of it; practice makes perfect! There is a video of the rest of this pansy going up online this week hopefully so that should help even more....
I needed subtitles but thank you for your gift 🙏🏽🙋🏻♀️👍🏽
Beyond Lovely 🌹
So realistic and colorful ☺️🌷
This was very helpful with my problem of leaving visible needle holes. I now know what I was doing wrong. Thank you Sarah.
You are a big teacher, thanks so much
Thank you for your vedio s, I'm learning a lot ,I enjoy embroiderey again,I noticed you stich over top of the chain stich, I was going under before watching .thank you!🌹
Wonderful tutorial, thank you for explaining so thoroughly, I have wanted to master this technique but my attempts have been pretty dire so far. I’ll follow this and hope for better success. Many thanks.
So happy to have found you. Thank you for teaching us.
You are such a good teacher. I'm a beginner and thought I couldn't do this stitch, so I've been putting off my project. But the first petal I did looks good. Not like yours, but good for a first try.
That's great cat999991! Just keep practicing and it will improve each time, I promise!
Your work is absolutely gorgeous
Thanks I think I finally understand the long and short stitched
Unintentional asmr and im learning? I love it
Amazing!!! Thank you so much.
Excellent video and tutoring. Best tutor - so clear and concise. Thank you Sarah.
You make it look simple and listening to your voice is very relaxing . Your instructions are easy to follow and I can't wait to try this . Thankyou I look forward to many more tutorials
T
Mille Merci pour cette vidéo . Même si je ne comprend rien vocalement;le visuel est parfait pour comprendre. Explication de très bonne qualité. BRAVO.
Merci Minouche, J'ai besoin d'un haut-parleur français / anglais pour traduire mes voix en sous-titres! En attendant, je suis très heureux de lire que vous aimez les vidéos. S'il vous plaît revenir pour plus.
Bonjour, il y a très peu de temps que je me suis lancée dans la broderie et vos vidéo me rendent bien service.En ce moment je ne peut plus rien faire suite à une intervention chirurgicale de ma main; mais dès que cela sera possible ,je mis remet. En attendant je visite des vidéo. Votre travail est magnifique. Bye !!!
This was a wonderful video. You are a great teacher. :)
That was so helpful. This is the stitch i have chosen to learn next. Great tutorial!
Hi Sarah,
Your practical instructions were delivered beautifully, in fact, you made the long and short stitch not so scary!
Thank you for this tutorial, i'm gonna have a go myself and see what comes out of the colour graduation in the final work.
Thank you!
Thank you Josephine! Good luck with your own project.
Thanks Sarah love your stuff ……🎉
Thank you so much for this! This really opened my eyes to this beautiful technique.
I have just done one petal on my project in long and short stitch for the very first time, it was not good, NOW I will go and do the rest of my flower correctly, My instructions have said to use 3 strands all look very bulky will do as you have instructed Than You.
Wow! That is a very interesting technique of fanning the stitches, makes a lot of sense and the result is very polished. I am going to use it to make round forms, like grapes.
Thank you very much for this input.
Little tip for you Daniela; try drawing lines to represent the stitches on a design first, then when you come to stitch your grapes, you will know exactly what angle to put the stitches!
Sarah Homfray Embroidery, thank you very much Sarah for your tip. I used to make round shapes using either only horizontal or only vertical stitches, and have to say I didn’t quite like the results I got. This technique making stitches along a radius you’ve shown allows a more natural shading.
Wouldn't that make a nice tutorial all of itself, the best stitches for curved edges and representing rounded forms?
This video is so, so helpful. Thank you!!!
AMAZING tutorial
О, интересный канал, с удовольствием буду смотреть!
Happy I found these tutorials ..exactly what have spent time searching for. Lovely tutorials.
Thank you Julliana!
Thank you sooo much. Great lesson!❤️
Thank you for the clear instructions! I'm a beginner and I find the long and short stitches extremely difficult, especially the blending part. But you explain everything very well and I'll try out immediately!
It takes a bit of practice, but follow the method and it will come Yue!
Thank you so much 🥰 this was exactly what I needed ❤️
Thank you. I can improve my work.
Beautiful work🎀
Excellent job! Thank you Sarah!!
I like your hair like this on you. Very becoming!
Amazing… u r so good with details and explaining 😘
Thank you Deepshikha!
Wonderfully explained thank you
thank you for your time, patients and detailed explanation so looking forward to your other videos
Thank you aswee01. I look forward to making and uploading many more videos.
Beautifully explained. Thank you for generosity in sharing.
très jolie travail madame c'est tellement bien fait !..on dirait une vraie fleur j'adore la broderie merci pour tout
Merci beaucoup pour ces mots généreux!
I'm so glad to have found these! You explain everything very well, and the videos are perfectly shot. It's been hard to find videos that show the project really clearly, so this is grand! I'm definitely going to be viewing more of these videos. I hope to silk shading on a flower project I have in mind (ambitious for me since I've only just been embroidering this past year, and not often enough at that.
Thank you so much! We work hard to make good quality videos so it's good to know they are appreciated. Have a go with the little pansy to get the hang of this technique; follow the process and most importantly keep practicing (it won't be perfect first go!)...have fun!
Thank you sooooo much
Excellent tutorial!
Cảm ơn cô rất nhiều. Video cô làm rất chi tiết
Thank you so much for the video Sarah! It was my first time trying silk shading and this a fantastic tool - helpful and clear!
You're welcome Charlotte, I'm glad it was helpful!
This is amazing! Could you do an red opium poppy variation?
Hello Sarah, congratulations. This flower is beautiful. Iam from El Salvador, C.A. Your work is wonderful.
Nice work full watching
What about putting 2 different colours of mauve / purple in the needle? It also gives a natural, varying effect, without using multiple needles.
It will give you a nice effect but for shading you need to be able to control where the colours go
Fab tutorial! So many great tips. Thank you so much.
again , a great tutorial, thank you so much
Thank you so much, this is everything I've been looking for!
This seems to be a more difficult way to do this technique, using several different needles and colors at the same time. I've seen it done much simpler and turns out nicer actually. Also using more shades of floss gives a realistic and beautiful look.
Beautiful!!
So glad I found your videos, do hope you can do one on types of fabric to use with embroidery many thanks happy stitching xx
Lots more videos planned, we'll have a look at doing one on embroidery materials!
crossstitchbutton videos de canasta con girasoles
Beautiful thank you. One question. When you snip the threads with the scissors don't you need to add knots. I am a beginner and trying to learn.
See my latest video on silk shading for information on starting and finishing your threads
So so so beautiful you made this look and sound so easy I cannot wait to try!! Thank you so much 😍👌 x
Muchas gracias, contenta con el aprendizaje, todo muy claro.
Gracias Nancy!
Hi Sara, I was wondering if you organises any retreat about hand embroidery.
I'm from Roma,
Buona domenica 🤗🌹
What brand of hoop are you using here please. It looks nice to use.
Thats beautiful ❤️🥰
Amazing! Thank You for share your art! Love it. Big blessings to you always.
This is beautiful, great video!
This was so helpful. Thank you!
Me encantan tus bordados.
Thank You for this lesson! I appreciate it :)
You are welcome Pamela, hope you found it useful
Thank you so much for the tutorial
You are most welcome Prithivya.
which lapstand do you use please ? and how to hide your knots on the back ?
I use the Verstaile Table Clamp that you can buy from our shop here Carol:
www.sarahhomfray.com/myshop/prod_4538062-Versatile-table-clamp.html
Check the measurements in the detailed description to make sure it will fit your table first!
I don't hide my knots on the back, I use a waste knot on the front then cut it off after I have worked a few starting stitches. See my video on starting and finishing threads here:
ua-cam.com/video/K1jFqcSRDhA/v-deo.html
what an amazing tutorial❤❤❤!!!!!
Very good teaching. Show me satin stitch. For every stitch what type thread we have to use. How to decide which stitch to each drawing. I know little embroidery. When I see drawing I can't do because I am not able to decide suitable stitch . Malini.
Satin stitch video is coming Malini along with videos on how to design embroideries and choose stitches. Meanwhile, keep practicing the stitches on here and build up your confidence. This will help you later on!
Me encanto el video pero falta los subtitulos como en la segunda parte please!!!!💕
How do you get it to go back in the hole ? That’s what I’m worried about but hopefully I can figure it out , what is the best fabric to use for this , thankyou for sharing this video I will start my first embroidery next week so I’m trying to figure out all the stitches techniques I haven’t figured out how they secure the thread in the beginning because I heard making a knot in the back is a big no no , also how many strands do you recommend to use thankyou sorry if I’m asking to much questions also I like your embroidery hoop stand or whatever it’s called
Check out our video on starting and finishing threads Valerie. I've used one strand on this project but it depends on time, eyesight, effect etc. We have a kit available of this design with everything you need as well as written instructions to accompany the videos and we ship worldwide! Check out our website: www.sarahhomfray.com/myshop/cat_264749-Designs-and-Kits.html
נראה נהדר, איפה קונים את המכשיר הזה שמחזיק את עבודת הריקמה????
You can buy the table clamp from our shop here:

Never did this before, looks beautiful,may I ask why you made the knot and other small stitches on top of the work ? Is it to anker the thread, so you do not have ends or strands you have to work into the embroidery?
The knot is called a waste knot Mirjam, it gets cut off once the stitching has started. The two small stitches hold the thread in the fabric while you start stitching. Unlike the knot, these remain in the work so you need to make sure you put them somewhere where they will get covered up! This method is great if you are working on a large frame that you can't turn over easily. You can use the two small stitches to finish your thread also, then bring it to the top and cut it off. This way you can start and finish all of your threads from the top of the work!
This was just the explanation I was looking for!
By any chance, are you planning a tutorial on the first steps one should take when she is starting a stitching project (and tips on how to avoid clutter on the back of the fabric)? Do you have (or are you planning) a suggested tutorial/s for beginners?
Thank you!
We will be doing more silk shading videos Mirjam and a distance learning class in silk shading as part of our Four Seasons set of distance learning classes, which will look much more in depth at this technique. To avoid clutter on the back, start and finish your threads with the two small stitches, bring the threads to the top when you aren't using them and don't travel them across the back if you can help it!
