Well I never thought I’d ever be doing any thing like this….but here I am and loving it! I’m a Londoner who doesn’t like the dark winter evenings. So this is how I occupy my time in the later part of the day. I’m absolutely loving your videos with all these beautiful ideas. Thank you so much Sarah. 🌸
I agree 100 % with exactly every word you said….except I live in NEW HAMPSHIRE, USA 🇺🇸 😊
And I am in Midwest USA❤
I too agree we have long winter here in Canada so doing stitching 🧵 is perfect
I am watching and loving what I am seeing. What do you do with the piece when done?
I think it would be perfect pieces to stitch together and create a lap quilt or a throw pillow cover! 🥰
Perfect for those of us that are VISUAL ……and need a talk through along side…..love the reminder to RELAX …….
You have reintroduced me to my first love. With a,perfect twist to cancel out debilitating perfectionism!
Wow!!!
1968 meet 2024. Who knew???
Embrace those frayed edges...:)
And 1963 meet 2024. ❤
Apart from your beautiful stitching I am admiring and being quite envious of your beautiful hands
Same!!
So glad you notice her hands. So lovely, and clean.
There's nothing with a needle and thread you can't do!!!
Love it! You really add class to "slow stitching"!!! LOL! TFS

There's something about a spiral that speaks to my prehistoric brain. This is all so attractive. I can't wait to have a go.
I never thought of samplers as slow stitching. But that is what they are , or can be. No stress, and its a great way of learning new stitches. If they don't come out perfect, so what? The embroidery police won't come after me! The whole point of the samplers is to learn! I appreciate the creativity that can go into slow stitching. It is a nice way of using leftover fabric, and bits and pieces of lace or ribbon. I also like the idea of creating a book with all the samplers which you show in a separate video.. I could date each 'page'...it would be a nice way to see how far I go and what I learn as time goes by. Thank you Sarah for such a nice idea!
Thank you, after weeks of pinning up pieces and moving them around and around, I’m ready to stitch. My piece is a wall hanging, a very large one.
I discovered diluted bleach in a spray bottle on the sky and am thrilled with the results. Debating whether to sew over it or just along the edges and leaving it as is. Maybe stitch it so it doesn’t show?
It’s a landscape, mountains, ocean and beach, with majority of the sewing on the bottom half.
I restate…good to see magnification of stitching, slowly. Thank you.
Sarah this is exciting to watch. I'm so tired from chronic illness I haven't gotten much done but I shall after this. And your blouse is so beautiful. It looks lovely on you
I hope you are feeling a bit better soon Marlene x
I love your blouse. Can't go wrong with pink and gold. Beautiful
Marvellous! Great! I will teach this to old people who are in my group! Big stitches are better for them. Thank you for this inspiration!
I just started over the weekend. Thx for the inspiration ❤
Beautiful stitching. I learn by watching and I know I will be able to copy your stitches by watching. So thank you for sharing.
OMGOSH! I love doing those. They take my mind over everything negative!
I’ve never hard if slow stitching until today. Great tutorial!!!!
Thank you for posting your slow stitching projects. They are beautiful and adorable!
Fantastic - thank you - now all I need is a sick note for my boss to get more stitching done! x
Me too! Wait, I am the boss...🤔
I never heard of slow stitching and now I really want to try!
Thank you IAM a beginner quilter and have always been courteous about embroidery and like the idea of combining the the two. God bless and thanks again
Thank you so much Sarah. I love slow stitching and was so glad to learn these new stitches which will make all the difference to my pieces ❤😂
I'm so happy to have found you!! Love this tutorial!!❤
Oh, my goodness!!!!!! I am a crafter of pretty much all things but have always adored the feeling of fabric in my hands...especially the soft vintage types. I've just started making my own fabric twine and am loving it. I want to thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us, Sarah. You are amazing and cute as a bug. ❤ I'm finishing up knitted Christmas presents right now but I can definitely say that come January, I'll be joining every group, pattern you have and I'll be learning everything I can about slow stitching. I am especially interested in making a cover for one of my bibles. Can't thank you enough!
I’m 82. But I was taught to knit when I was 2 at the side of a favorite aunt. Omg. Such a treasure auntie. I knit but don’t follow directions, she didn’t teach me that.
You were smart!! I can't remember what I did at the age of two....
Just so pretty - calming and relaxing stitching :)
Sarah, you are such a great teacher, thank you. You've given me back my enthusiasm for slow stitching. I'm now making a set of coasters using some of these lovely stitches. Cheers from Australia
Just love how you explain things and really appreciate you showing us this slow stitch technique. I am going to be adventurous and try it!!!
Your shirt is very pretty by the way Sarah suits you. Lovely work thank you for sharing the stitches hugs ❤😊
Hello from Florida USA_-I am really amazed at your control of your cross stitch’s. If I wasn’t so very relaxed watching you I would be trying some Stitches. Thank you for your videos. U-tube is a bit weird in that watching you and other quilting shows it feels like we are just a couple of friends having a visit. Keep up our nice visits:)
This was the perfect slow stitch video, I shall be referring to it time and time again. May thanks 😊
I am so enjoying your videos, learning lots. I’ve enjoyed slow stitching but now I have more ideas for useful ideas and I love the new stitches. Thank you
Great as usual you are a great teacher and make this craft irresistible KUDOS 😊
Thank you! I really enjoyed the video. I will try some stitches
I absolutely love slow stitching. Thank you for all the wonderful ideas for stitches! I have a little slow stitch book and it helps me wind down and relax at the end of the day.
What do you do with them once you're all done like making a pillow or a quilt
Thankyou Sarah I do enjoy doing these stitches on my quilts I do find it most relaxing thankyou againexplained nicely
Putting the knot in the end of the thread... that was magic. It took me a few times to watch because it seemed weird, but, it worked! Wow. Thank you!
I just love the blouse you’re wearing. It’s lovely and looks fabulous on you!! Your lighting tech upgrades is great too! 👍
Just came across your channel. Thank you for your video. ❤️
Very inspirational thank you. I am using slow stitching with the grandchildren. Wonderful one to one time 😊.
You are color coordinated. I love your pinks. You choose pretty colors. I dont usually choose pinks but I am thinking maybe I should. I love slow stitching. Thank you for sharing
Love it, will try making. Thanks for sharing
This is just lovely! Thank you for showing these stitches in various ways of using them. ❤❤❤
Love this video! New subscriber here in Southern California ❤
Thsnk you so much. Very inspiring. I will definitely try these stitches! Regards from Chile!
I wish to make a bed quilt of this stitching.😊 Making squares and then embellish ❤
very interesting,thanks for what you teach us 😊👏
Inspiring as usual, Sarah. Although at the beginning I was distracted by how lovely you look in that blouse! It's just so pretty! I have begun a slow stitch bunting project and am enjoying it so much. I need to worry less about my stitches and lean on these simpler ones more often. Worry and slow stitching do not go together!
They don't no! Use the slow stitching to calm the worrying 😁x
watching you and learning new stitches is so addictive and I will watch it a couple of more times then I will try them. I just love watching and learning from you.. These will be great for the slow stitch book in a year. Having so much fun Thank you for expanding my world
Your hands are absolutely beautiful. Your video will be so helpful to me. Thank you so much.
Very nice work I learned a lot of embroidery methods Thank you very much for this excellent content❤
Oooh! So pretty!
Sarah, I NEVER comment on folks' appearance, but you always look so lovely! Today you are so beautifully color coordinated with your clothes, nails, fabric and thread that I must say it again: Oooh! So pretty!
I enjoy watching your relaxing and informative videos while resting my hands between projects. I was a total stitching novice when I began watching your videos early on during the COVID lockdowns, and am so happy & grateful to have found you! Thanks for all of your hard work.💪
I'm never coordinated, I don't know what happened!
Fantastic resource thank you 😊 🙏 x beautiful samples at the end, really beautiful ❤
What a great lesson!! Thank you!! I'm going to try this.... I'd love to do something like this on the back of my
jean jacket!!
Fun video! I do a lot of slow stitching and so I enjoyed this video! I got a few new tips! I liked the spiral! Thank-you. 😃
I love all of these stitches and am so thankful for this lesson! I have a chicken project that I have thought needed something else to make it pop and some of these will do just that!
Hello I am new here. Most enjoyable tutorial iv seen in a very long time Thank you 💕🙏🏼🌷
You look beautiful in your bling today, Sarah... pretty blouse and those lovely long earrings! I am currently working on my first slow stitching project, which is challenging the perfectionist side of me. I resisted for a long time, thinking I wouldn't like it, but I have to admit that I am enjoying the tactile feel of it as I add more stitches through the layers of fabric. I have been thinking about adding some beads so it was nice to see how you incorporated them into your projects. Your potted lace flowers are adorable and I like the idea of using felt as your backing fabric. Thank you for another great and timely video!
I still love doing my 'normal' embroidery but I love the slow stitching too when I want to relax and don't want to think about it too much!
Wonderful work made with
Beautiful hands and nails,
Real Artist you are.
Love from Thailand.
As I read the comments I smile because I also just love the blouse you are wearing.
Thank you for showing how a simple stitch can be adapted so many ways. I’ve started slow stitching projects and run out of ideas for stitches. But you’ve given me many adaptations to use. ❤
Buenos días ,Sarah!!! Estoy encantada de tus videos! Es la primera vez que lo veo, pero me ha gustado mucho! Eres muy buena profesora! Gracias! Ahora empiezo a ver un sentido en slow stiching. Entiendo bien ingles, pero no se escribir correctamente, así que dejo al traductor que haga su trabajo.☺. vivo en España y me alegro que tango la oportunidad expresarte mis agradecimientos🌼🌼🍀
Google Translation was good Renate! I'm glad you are enjoying the videos, thank you for your Membership support ❤️x
Great teaching - thank you❤️
I know I am late to this video but I found you and your videos a few days ago and have to say: THANK YOU! As a Young Woman who never learned stitching, sewing or knitting as a child or young girl your videos are so helpful! I use these stitches for visible mending because with two little kids idle work is a bit out of reach. But your doing so much for younger generations by sharing your knowledge on UA-cam. Greetings from Germany ❤
Wonderful lesson and beautiful projects❣️
Very inspiring. Thank you.
Thanks!
Thank you Joyce x

What a fantasy and what taste!!🌹
I am so glad I found your channel…. You are a wonderful instructor as I have watched others with certain techniques & I just couldn’t get it….. but yours…well I shook my head & said… 😮 I couldn’t get that🤷♀️it was bcuz it was presented as difficult….in a confusing manner which made me frustrated & annoyed but determined to find someone somewhere that made sense….that’s YOU…YOU ARE A DREAM 😴again TY & I agree …we just need to ENJOY IT…. WE ARE THE CREATORS…. SO no need to get frustrated…. Just relax & enjoy yourself…😊
This was a lovely video and a huge help! Thank you for giving us easy ways to get started.
Thanks from Australia 👏👏
This is so helpful as I wondered how to stop my first blanket stitch looking weird and I didn't know how to turn corners either.
This was very helpful
Inspiring and motivating as always
What a wonderful video. Really appreciated it. Getting back into embroidery. Used to love doing pillow cases ❤❤❤❤
Wow what a great video, thank you so much
I love watching your videos and stitching along with you! It's extra cozy and relaxing. Your work is wonderful, thank you for sharing. As an aside - I hope this isn't weird - your eyes are such a beautiful, vibrant blue.😊
I have been seeing so much about slow stitching recently. I didn't really know what it is. Your video is very helpful and I believe it is something I would enjoy. I used to like to embroidery and silk ribbon embroidery. I definitely want to try it. Like several others, I was admiring your beautiful hands and nails as I was watching the video! They are just gorgeous, and I also love your blouse. Watching from Texas.
Very inspiering ang relaxing ! Wide space for creativity and color combination !
Thank you for beautiful tutorial !
Wow, amazing thank you 💖🤗
Votre vidéo est très instructive. ❤❤ from France
Thank you Sarah,you have explained various stitches very well and inspirational.I love hand stitched items.❤
Always so inspiring 😊
Great tutorial thanks so much!
Marvellous looks pretty.All the stitches.....and the final look of the piece of cloth is truly beautiful.
These are wonderful. Thank you Sarah...... as always.... such fun and excellent teaching !!! I am so excited to learn about the "open satin stitch". It is exactly the stitch that has been missing from my slow stitching repertoire. I had some linen that was fraying in my last slow stitch experiment and I used the blanket stitch to control it. And that was fine. But I love the look of the open satin stitch. I will give that a try on my next piece. And... I must say.... I love slow stitching. Thank you for introducing me to it with your "what is slow stitching" video. I am addicted.
Absolutely loved this video, thank you ❤
Спасибо вам большое за ваши кропотливые работы 🎉🎉🎉 Все красиво и интересно 👏👏👏👍👍👍🌹🌹💐💐💐
Thank you for the inspiration. Never thought I would try this.
Thank you, so lovely and informative. Was a pleasure watching your video.
So nice to see these beautiful skillls have not gone away. I did these things many years ago as a child my mom taught me how too knit , embroidery and crochet a treasure I have never forgot so you channel is a beautiful joy
Thank you for such an inspirational video - I've just come across slow stitching but have only been doing running stitch and cross stitch. Your pieces are so pretty and creative. You've inspired me to expand my repertoire of stitches!
Thank you for showing these stitches and how to use them.
Thank you Sarah - this is a lovely tutorial and I appreciate your encouragement to leave perfectionism out in the cold!
1st time here and I’m in love💗💗 this was so relaxing watching you do this! I also just subscribed and I will go back and check on the other videos 💗 thank you for sharing 💗💗💗
Thank you dear Sarah for sharing this lovely video😉😘
Lovely video, I also love your top and nails coordinates with your beautiful fabrics
Very helpful! Just started a "slow stitch" project so this video is will be most useful! Thank you for being such an excellent teacher!🥰. Have a blessed and wonderful day!
Thank you so much Sarah! Love your videos with perfect explanations and encouragements!
Liked this video a lot. I learned these stitches when young. We had to wait to use the few sewing machines in class, so we had to do a lot of hand stitching - even do some buttonholes by hand. This gives me an idea to do some of the stitches in embroidery pieces.
Thank you for your tutorial! 🌷🌷🌷
