I'm afraid the blurred background effect seeped into the whole thing and made the quality of this so poor it's pretty much unwatchable.
This really needed an over head camera set up.
Also I was expecting a film about upcycling clothes using stitch but this was a tutorial about basic embroidery stitches but without being able to see the actual stitching at all. 😢
Though I could see that definitely isn't chain stitch! That looked more like fly stitch to me.
