I'm a beginner at embroidering. Your videos are so helpful. I learn best by watching. You explain everything well and have a soothing voice. I've watched other people's videos. You seem to show the proper way to do the different stitches and techniques. Thank you for all your videos. Congratulations on your 100k award!
I know this video is a year old but I just happened on it. You’ve inspired me to pick up embroidery again after way too many years and the first problem I ran into was corners. Thanks so much for this video.
I am a left handed beginner and am having problems with blanket stitch, your sampler video is genius, I will set that up and practice my stitches. I have started slow stitching using scraps to hopefully decorate the pieces to make a square denim rice bag. No ginger cat today... Many thanks for all your help with my new hobby.
Oh nice! I just came across some Christmas ornaments in hardanger where they'd actually stitched the edge cluster blocks together to form a border with blanket stitches and rounded corners.
It almost seems obvious when you show us how to turn corners but somehow when I'm on my own "obvious" doesn't always come to me! Thank you Sarah I so needed this.
Another fun video for me to watch while I hand quilt! I hope you have a peaceful week ahead! I have been busy filming for our channel. I just want you to know that I very much enjoy your content. Thank you for sharing this video and for your expertise.
Good morning Sarah! Thank you so much for showing corners! I have needed to see this 😊 you are so informative and knowledgeable, I so appreciate you! I hope you are well, have a very blessed weekend ❤️🌹🙏
Hi Sarah, thank you for your excellent informative video. Recently I had to turn a corner when doing chain stitch and had a couple of tries before it looked right, the same with stem stitch, so now I have something to refer to. Hope you and your husband have a nice holiday.
Thanks for the tutorial. There is a cross stitch called Sampler of Stitches by the Drawn Thread. It looks really nice. In watching people talk about it on UA-cam, there are certain stitches that have given them more trouble than others. I keep thinking that this is where practicing them before hand would come in handy. They've had to unpick some several times and redoing them. I'm thinking of getting it, but if I do, I'm making a sampler of the stitches first. It's a great tip.
Another great video Sarah👏. I don't think it matters how long we may have been stitching.... it's still very easy to "lose the plot" at times, and these refreshers are just what's needed. Thanks heaps😘💜
Thank you! Corners are a struggle. I've been making bookmarks with blanket stitching around the edges and not one of the corners has been quite right so this will make a huge difference
Was it Jon who came up with the idea of making the image for the thumbnail look as though you were being attacked by road signs with curves on? Very funny! Hope you have a good holiday and have no trouble with road signs :-)
Thank you for this video great. I literally just practised running stitch, chain stitch, back stitch and cross stitch as had my first lesson from a friend but your videos be great for a recap 💙 👍 I'm really enjoying it by the way do you think that you need to do knitting to be good at embroidery? As my friend mentioned it but I don't feel any lure towards it as just interested on embroidery really cheers

Thank you Sarah and thank you Jessica for asking for this video. It is just what I need also.
excellent video learnt about how to make corners sharp. can you show how to stem stitch for curved lines like tendrils etc
See my stem stitch video Raji!

Great video! Please please please do a video on how to unravel your skein of thread… I’m head over heels in knots!
Very carefully Caitlin!!
@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery How about skeins? Is there a trick to it? Mine always end up in a huge knot.
Thanks once again for a great informative video 📸
Ooh yay, I was right! I knew I was missing something with stem stitch - come up AHEAD when turning 😊 Thank you 😊
It’s like you read my mind! I’ve been struggling with my corners; particularly the stem stitch, but no more thanks to you. 😁❤️😁
Great video so well explained, thank you for showing us. X
I loved the dramatic thumbnail for this one. 😂
Really helpful video for a beginner like me thanku for sharing 😊.

Yep, good time to do the sampling!

Nice work

Truly appreciate your videos. I'm looking for tips on embroidering blanket stitch on sharp points. They always give me a bad time. Can you help me?
This was really helpful, thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you Ada x
Superb!. Thank you Sarah, really good information presented as always in an easy to understand way.
What a great video!! I’ve struggled with corners and this video is very helpful! Thank you, Sarah 💕
Thank you.
AWESOME !!! 😘With the blanket stitch would there be a difference if you made the line the 'top' ? 😅Thanks for sharing 🤩
Still an inside or a outside corner to go around!
Was it Jon who came up with the idea of making the image for the thumbnail look as though you were being attacked by road signs with curves on? Very funny! Hope you have a good holiday and have no trouble with road signs :-)
Who else Laura!! Had a few road sign issues on our holidays now you mention it...mainly lack of 'bend ahead' signs!!!

I hope not---if that was so, I'd be sunk!
@@kayrichardson6040 yep me too but I'm no expert so my lips are sealed 😉
Knitting? I don't think so particularly! I would be sinking on the same boat as Kay...
@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery cheers I think we all need to stay off that boat then hehe
