This was, hands down, the BEST, most informative video I've seen regarding satin stitch in the nature I was wanting to work with it. Thank you so much!
I must say that in all of my 70 years of stitching and watching young stitchers blossom, I am very impressed with your stitching skill. In addition to being an excellent stitcher, you have lovely teaching skills. Keep up the videos; you will thrive and expand quickly.
Nice tutorial. For me personally it's easier to seperate the 6 strands before stiching but use them all at the same time. This way they are nice and parallel without twisting.
@@pennypalmisano179 All these fellow lefty comments are making me so happy! Going into this, I didn’t really realize how many people were looking for left handed tutorials! I’m glad I could help! ☺️💛
Gosh I didn't know how much I needed this. Such a "simple" video but so well presented and so informative. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your expertise.
Hurrah! A left handed embroiderer! I'm left handed and learning to embroider, so it's super helpful to have found a fellow leftie that I can watch - thank you!
This is an excellent video. I appreciate the calm, well thought out and detailed explanation of the process. Pleasant music. Thank you for sharing. I will continue to watch and learn.
Beautifully explained and demonstrated. Please do a similar tutorial on the stitch you use in your absolutely amazing landscape embroidery. 🙏🏼🐨🇦🇺🤩 2:16
Thanks, I really appreciate your comment! And, I actually have something big in the works for my landscape embroidery, which I will definitely announce when the time comes! 🤗🤗
I have always had problems doing satin stitch 😕 I don't think that I have ever understood what/how to do it properly until watching your video. Thank you for this. 😊
Thanks! 😄 I started playing like 18 years ago (omg that’s a long time ago lol 🙊) and stopped after a couple years because I just didn’t have the time anymore. But I just started casually playing again with a free account. It’s fun to explore all the new places and stuff!
These are really good demonstrations for beginners, so I've shared with a friend who just got started embroidering. I've always embroidered on quilter's cotton, but after watching you I think I want to try canvas. Looks like it might work a little better. (I don't frame, I make patches for bags and jackets.) Gonna check out your french knot tutorial next. I've always been hit-or-miss with that one! 😅
Thanks so much! I'm the opposite- I've never used quilters cotton, but think I may try it soon...it comes in so many colors! Anyways, thanks for watching! ☺
I like to use a laying tool or my needle to kind of open the threads so they lay smoothly side by side. I do this before I pull the thread completely down through the hole. Your tutorial is just great! Your voice is soothing & you provided so much information. Thank you!
This is the best video on satin stitch, I am so glad I found your channel. I know it will be a success. I have strayed away from satin stitch patterns, but now I am ready to jump in and go for it. Thank you so much! Blessings❤
That's super useful, actually. I don't know what it is, but it doesn't look as bulky as it might've, considering you're using all 6 strands. From the thumbnail on mobile, I thought you vere using 1 strand. Thank you for the video. P. S.: Hope uts okay to say, your hair is amazing. I'm in love with your curls.
@@Alisa-on6xp Oh awesome! I first started playing like 20 years ago (dude, that’s crazy it’s been around for so long!) and was really into it for several years, like vent/headset, raiding guild, etc lol. I would stop then come back to it every couple years, and just recently hopped back on a free account so I’ve just been exploring all the new areas and characters. Such a fun game!
@cassiemdias yeah I played way back in vanilla wow. I stopped playing 2 expansions ago. I play final fantasy 14 now when I have time. But yeah back when I played wow it was a lot of fun.
Beautiful work! Thank you for this. I had learned to pull each of the 6 strands of floss apart, then put them back together to make them lay more flat but I think your way looks better and is probably easier. I love how rounded and full your work looks. I'm itching to try this now! Glad to have found an embroidery channel that is more my vibe--subbed!
Another viewer also mentioned pulling them apart first and I’ll definitely have to try that way! Thanks so much for your comment! ☺️ Happy to have you here!
@@cassiemdias That's one thing I love about the internet. When I was a kid back in the days before Google, all we had were books to learn from if there wasn't an expert in our family's social circles. Now, we have the whole world to learn from. As a serial learner with a neverending thirst to learn more about my many hobbies this feels like the most wonderful time to be alive!
What lovely work! I’d love to watch more, but halfway through, I realised that the music was so loud and intrusive that I needed to turn off and give my brain a rest. And to all those who say, mute your device, yes that is what I do all the time. And then I miss the teaching! And I live my whole life in silence (I’m partially disabled and live alone). I really love to learn new techniques but when human voice is overlaid with relentless music, those of us with neurological conditions will have to decline this pleasure. I’m pretty sure that the whole video would have been simply gorgeous without music, and so much calmer for us odd folk to enjoy as well. 😂😂😂 But for now, I can’t watch any more, sadly - I’ll just scroll to the end and see the outcome! xxx ❤
So sorry about that! I believe there is a closed captions “CC” button at the top of the screen that will provide subtitles as the video plays. That way, you could turn down the volume almost all the way, while still getting the information in real time. I hope this helps!
@@rbrown6476 I have issues with loud music as well but I did not have a real issue with this video but a great deal of the time I must use the CC and so thankful for it. I hope the CC helps you. I click on to the wheel as well then subtitle then on options to enlarge the print as well. I do not like to miss out on information either.
I hit subscribe as soon as you said "im a leftie" - woohooo finally i have someone to help me! ❤❤ Thank you for your videos i will be binge watching tonight ❤
So pretty love the blues and how perfect your satin stitch looked Could you do one for satin leaves with pointy edges? They confuse me to no end. Hard to follow the outline for leaves.
Truly lovely. It looks like you’re using the entire strand of the embroidery thread. What size needle are you using by any chance. Thanks so much for the great video.
Oh shoot…you know, I’m not exactly sure what size needle I was using. It was just one I had lying around. I do know it’s just a larger tapestry needle though. And you’re right about the thread- I was using all 6 strands.
Hello from Jean in cape town. Could you rell me how many threads you have in needle please. I use a layering tool tountwist my thread works very well. Gives a smooth flat fonish.
@@cassiemdias No I don’t, was just wondering about it. I love satin stitch applied to modern embroidery/stitching but don’t find it easy to maintain the neatness
@@alexandrabegg5522 I have been thinking about trying it and was hoping you had a recommendation as to what brand haha. Well, if you ever give this twisting technique a try, let me know how it turns out for you!
This is going to be so much help for me with my long and short stitch in silk shading. My silk filaments are gonna Shine to their full potential! Thank you so much!!!
When I was first starting out and trying to do the satin stitch, I found that when I started at the edge, my design would warp a bit, which may have had something to do with my fabric not being pulling taut enough…I’m not sure. I figured out that when I started a little bit further in, the stress was taken off the very edge.
This was, hands down, the BEST, most informative video I've seen regarding satin stitch in the nature I was wanting to work with it. Thank you so much!
Oh my gosh, I’m so happy I was able to help you! Thanks so much for the positive feedback!

😊
Nice tutorial. For me personally it's easier to seperate the 6 strands before stiching but use them all at the same time. This way they are nice and parallel without twisting.
Oh nice! I would never have thought of separating them beforehand then putting them back together to use!
That's how I was taught! It's amazing how much smoother the thread lies.
Yes, I have heard about that before, but never tried.
I’ve avoided satin stitch because it never turned out nice. Now I want to try it again. Great tutorial! Thanks!
I’m happy my video inspired you to try again! Let me know how it turns out!
Omgosh! A lefty! It's so nice to see someone who holds their needle the same way I do! Great tutorial!

This is fantastic! I never knew you’re supposed to untwist the floss and it looks so much better!
