That was extremely helpful. I’m on my second picture and I’m making a lot of mistakes, but as I watch your videos I’m improving immensely! I’m tackling thread painting and it’s been pretty rough but I’m determined to get better. I want to be able to do pet photos like you do! You’re so talented!
Thanks so much! I’m glad it’s helping you!
I think the only thing I can add is that the brand of floss can impact the final look of your work. Cosmo threads are finer than DMC. I use them when I want something wispy and delicate, or to add fine detail. Anchor and J&P Coates are more coarse than DMC. I use them when I'm stitching something textural like bark or turkey stitched thistles.
That’s very helpful. Thanks for sharing!
Really nice bunch of tips, i dont know why this video doesn't get more likes or comments, considering the fact that you give us free high quality insight. So thanks a lot ! 💛
I appreciate it, I’m so glad it was helpful!
I have been doing this type of embroidery for a short time, so your tips are very helpful. If I don't like the way, or thread number looks; I just get my little scissors out and snip it all out and try again.
Great tips - thank you for sharing!!
You are so welcome!
This pattern is adorable!! One thing I just learned is to thread my needle so I have a knot at the end and a tail near the needle like you have here. I was doubling the thread over and knotting it together and it was making my stitches too thick and causing the threads to become messy. 😊p.s. love your channel!❤
Thank you, this was very helpful. I will definitely try a few of your tips.
I love this style of video from you. the tips were great! i would also love to just watch the way you do things. it's nice to see a professional work in real time.
Thank you! I will definitely try and make more like this in the future!
Thank you!! you’ve helped me so much with my first project I’m making for a friend

How do you know what direction your thread should go?
Muchas gracias, me encantó. Ya me suscribí. Saludos desde Mazatlán, México
Any tips how to prevent fabric from bunching up? Or how to fix your fabric when it starts bunching up?
For thinner fabrics it helps to double them up. Or you can bind the embroidery hoop with cotton twill tape. Another thing is to get a hoop that’s a little bit nicer than the bamboo or wood ones you get at the craft store. I like to get beechwood hoops, you can find them on Etsy or Amazon!
can you kindly put the link on for the guide for DMC thread and fabric
It sadly isn't there anymore but I made a chart. You can find it here! crewelghoul.com/blog/hand-embroidery-needle-sizes-explained-needle-size-chart/
Please can you tell me how you keep your embroidery stitches flat mine seem loose and stick up
It may be your fabric! Is it completely smooth and tight in the hoop? If your fabric is tight and you’re still having problems it may be uneven tension when you’re making each stitch. For each stitch you make, make sure each one is tight but not so much so that it’s pulling or puckering the fabric.
when you outline in split stitch, how many strands of floss are you using? your outline looks so much sharper than mine D:
I usually use 1 or 2! 1 can be hard to use but you can do a back split stitch and it’s easier (go down through the stitch instead of up through)
neater.....not more neatly
lol thanks for the correction 😆
