  • Here's a simple video showing you seven basic (and most common) embroidery stitches.
    This quick little showcase covers --
    - Back Stitch
    - Split Stitch
    - Stem Stitch
    - Chain Stitch
    - Blanket Stitch
    - Satin Stitch
    - French Knot
    Recommended books --
    - 'The Stitch Bible' by Kate Haxell
    - 'Embroidery' by Penny Black, India Flint and Vicki Porter
    - 'Doodle Stitching' by Aimee Ray
    In this tutorial I used --
    - DMC thread/floss,
    - A no.7 embroidery needle
    - White 100% cotton homespun fabric
    - A 125mm/5" round wooden embroidery hoop
    **Apologies for the blurred/out-of-focus shots: filming embroidery stitching is very tricky!

    I'm a 48 year old white male I always watch UA-cam for auto repair videos recently I needed to stitch up a couple things and started watching sewing videos I really like this video I love the music but I can't help but feel as if I may have learned something thank you

      Jay Phillips I agree, this is helpful and I have learned from it. I am basically teaching myself embroidery and I prefer the video over a lot of books as I can rewind it and actually see it done. Very nice UA-cam video.

    I remember really liking embroidery back in school, even bought the cloth for it and everything, but then they split up the class between woodworking, metalworking and textile and wouldn't let guys work with textile. Thus I went into metalworking and neglected the supplies I already had.
    I might be able to re-learn this stuff thanks to videos like these!

    @SarahMcDermott To finish the stem stitch, pull the needle to the back of your embroidery, loop the thread underneath the last few stitched and create a knot by pulling the thread through the loop you've just created. Then simply snip off the excess thread.
    Hope this helps! :)

    @lisapedrotti4424 9 років тому +1

    Thank you for demonstrating the French knot. I struggle with this one because I always end up pulling the knot all the way through the fabric. I noticed you don't go back down through the original hole, rather you go down through the fabric just next to the spot where you came up and your knot was perfect. Maybe I can stop avoiding the French knot now!

    • @AmandaRolfe
      @AmandaRolfe  9 років тому

      Lisa Pedrotti You're more than welcome! My first attempt at French Knots was the same as yours - my knot would just go straight through the fabric! Gosh, it was frustrating!! But through trial and error, I eventually got there and so will you!
      I'm so glad my video has helped you out! Good luck! :)
