I'm a heavily visual learner, so seeing these makes it a lot easier for me to learn. Thank you! I love that you don't try to explain it, you just show us clearly how it's done and let the visuals do the work.
Just thought I'd send you a huge thank you for your channel. Its inspiring, informative and my goto when i cant take all the horrible stories in the news these day. Big hug and lots of love from Houston. ❤❤❤
Hey! Thank you so much for taking the time in making these videos. I randomly picked up a stitch-and-go kit, and enjoyed doing it, so I want to continue and challenge myself on making other embroideries. Never knew how many different methods there were.
Welcome to the embroidery community! It's definitely an incredible art, and the coolest part is that it can be really simple - just one or two stitches - or massively complex. I hope you enjoy it!
I love the layout you are using. Do you have a picture of the layout? Also, is the fabric you are using felt? I would love to make a stitch sampler for myself. Thanks for your vidos.
The pattern I'm using here is one of my own making that is available for purchase in my Etsy store: www.etsy.com/listing/870410522/pdf-pattern-embroidery-modular-sampler?ref=shop_home_feat_4 The fabric is a cotton/polyester gabardine, which a lot of people think looks like felt in videos! I think it has to do with the way the lighting hits the weave...
@@gettheetothestitchery Thank you so much. I've done a few pieces of embroidery myself but I really want to learn the different stitches and my daughter does too. This will be so helpful.
You'll want to use a sturdy non-stretch material like a cotton twill, denim, or even canvas. For larger areas, you can always use satin stitch, but you generally don't want those stitches to get too long, so if the longest stitch would be more than an inch or so, I'd recommend switching to a fill stitch like brick or split.
They can often look a lot alike once finished, but chain stitch creates a loop of thread on top of the fabric, which is then tacked down by the next loop, whereas split stitch is basically an overlapping backstitch, done with a row of straight stitches that come up in the center of the last, splitting the threads in half.
What fabric do you recommend for learning these stitches on? I have only ever done cross stitch and long stitch kits with the odd fence knot and backstitch buy Wang to try making a sampler to learn different stitches.
I always recommend embroidering on a non-stretch, fairly thick fabric. Cotton and linen are go-to options for embroiderers, with cotton twill and gabardine being two of my personal favorites!
Chain stitch inherently leaves a few gaps simply because of the looped shape of each stitch. The smaller you make those stitches, the less you'll be able to see the fabric behind, so try short chain loops for less gaps!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'm the same way - usually I just need to watch something done slowly a couple times and then I'm good!
Same
Me too. I come back every time I need to remind myself how to do it!

The alternating one is so cute!!!!
Thank you so much for making these videos!!
Amazing! Especially the 2 colour variation!
Thank you! 😊
wow i didn't know that the chain fill stitch was what i was looking for! THX!
No problem! I'm glad you found the perfect stitch!
I wonder how many colours you could do alternating? Perhaps 6, I strand each?
And this is why I love you guys, because I had never considered that. Definitely going to try it now!
Thank you for the tutorial and for such a nice music.
You're very welcome!
Just found your channel. I like how you present the stitches up close to the camera. New subscriber.
Blessings from Canada, Mary
Welcome to the community! I'm so glad you enjoyed the videos!
The alternating is so hard. Thanks for your vdo. You make it so clear and easy to learn.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Starting a big project, greatly appreciate your videos (and music) ❤️
I'm so glad! Good luck on your big project!
Alternating one is so pretty! Will try it asap~~
Definitely do! It's a lot of fun!

@@gettheetothestitchery Thank you for posting this link! Purchased! :) And thank you for your channel! I love your style!
This is a pretty amazing video
Thank you so much!
Are the detached closed stitches the same as lazy daisy stitches? They seem similar to me. Love your video as always
Yep, they're the same thing!
Can you please tell me the best stitches when making a patch to fill larger areas and would you please recommend a type of material to make them on?
You'll want to use a sturdy non-stretch material like a cotton twill, denim, or even canvas. For larger areas, you can always use satin stitch, but you generally don't want those stitches to get too long, so if the longest stitch would be more than an inch or so, I'd recommend switching to a fill stitch like brick or split.
You should put these on dvds.
How is the chain stitch different from the split?
They can often look a lot alike once finished, but chain stitch creates a loop of thread on top of the fabric, which is then tacked down by the next loop, whereas split stitch is basically an overlapping backstitch, done with a row of straight stitches that come up in the center of the last, splitting the threads in half.

Merhaba teknikler çok guzel tesekkur ederim
Muito lindo.
How many strands are you using for this?
Thank you very much! 💞
I love the alternating one but I don’t like the gaps where you can see the fabric. Is there anyway I could avoid this?
Chain stitch inherently leaves a few gaps simply because of the looped shape of each stitch. The smaller you make those stitches, the less you'll be able to see the fabric behind, so try short chain loops for less gaps!
could any of these work for letters, or would you recommend a different one?
Any outline stitch (and many fill stitches!) work great for lettering, but chain stitch is definitely one of my personal favorites!
@@gettheetothestitchery thank you! and thank you so much for your videos, i have learned a lot from them c:
Aap is mein kaun sa ka dhaaga use karte hain please ek bar bataiye
I am using 3 strands of DMC embroidery floss.
I’m new to this. What size of needle are you using and how many strands do you use?
I most commonly stitch with 3 strands of floss when just practicing or doing samplers, and I like to use sharps, usually between sizes 6-9.
How many strands when you're not practicing?
👌👌👌💐💐💐

What kind of material is it?
This is a cotton/polyester blend gabardine - my favorite fabric to embroider on!
I was…
Fill: “That’s a clever solution”
Detached : “Oh, That’s cute”
Whipped “ Mmmm that’s crafty!”
Alternating: “WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THAT!!!”
There is magic in stitching for sure!
Why you yluse such an awful music, hard to watch this video.
Have you tried adjusting the volume so you can't hear the music?
@@gettheetothestitchery I did, but perhaps you can take this under consideration, thx
