- Learn how to chainstitch - one of the fancier outline stitches. There's a companion blog post here that shows lots of examples that use chain stitch, as well as links to a different video showing how to do an extra fancy version of this stitch. www.shinyhappy...
I am 16 years old and I found a passion for embroidery, and love learning. This was of great help to me I will look at more of your stitching videos.
10 yrs. later & still the best chain stitch video around.Clear,concise instructions!!
Thanks, hon. I’ve watched numerous video tutorials, but there’s something about how you did this, or the way you explained it, that the lightbulb in my brain switched on. Yay!
Thank you for your help. I’m a beginner and your video was one of the easiest to learn from!
Thank you this was helpful.I am making two little purses for children and the project called for some embroidery.
thank you so much because tommorow i had to submit my activity i did not know how to stitch it .this helped me very much
Thank You Ms. Wendi Gratz for having a site like this..... When my teacher teaches us what to do I cannot understand it but when I am watching your videos, I can make different stitches.
Thanks a lot for posting this I was struggling for a chain stich... and then i found this video. the stiches u showed were very easy too.
wow, great video! I'm a novice sewer and embroiderer (sp?) and I'm making my 1 yr old daughter a Christmas stocking with one of those fun kits and this was one of the stitches...this helped me a lot!
Thank you so much Wendi ... it's so much easier and clearer when someone shows you than trying to follow diagrams in books. I get it now!
Beginning embroidery and I appreciate this video. Thank you for posting in 2011. Still useful 8 years later.
I learned how to chain stitch when I was a young girl in scouting but I had forgotten. Thank you. Now I remember :-)
Thanks so much, I've learn LOADS from watching your quick,simple videos, I'm loving embroidery xx
I love your videos! I'm an amateur embroiderer, and you give such concise directions and examples! Many thanks for your wonderful service!
Thanks for the clear and concise directions. It's been a while since I did embroidery so I appreciate the refresher. Having fun, too!
we've done sewing in school for like 3 years and i finally get the chain stitch! haha thank you wendi!
Thanks so much! I cant crochet but a knitting project I'm doing says to crochet a chain stitch around it so I found your video and you explained it very well and the video was excellent! Thanks so much!
You're so easy to understand, I really appreciate your tutorials they've helped a beginner like me so much. Thank you :) Annie

Thank you so much. It is the final stitch I needed for a project and I just wasn't understanding from the instructions. Great video help.
this is the easiest tutorial ive seen on a chain stitch..thank you !
Really interesting thank you, always easier if you actually see the stitches being done as opposed to diagrams.
Go to my channel and look at the Embroidery playlist. There are videos teaching a bunch of other stitches there - including the French knot. :-)
Thank you- I have done quite a bit of cross-stitching but this is my first project that included chain-stitching. I was nervous about it and didn't quite understand the paper directions. This video was great and now I am excited to try!!!
Seriously the BEST tutorials ever! I watched so many, and yours are so easy, and precise. Thanks!
wendi Gratz, thank you for showing me how to work long and short stitch. I really want to do this, now I am a little bit more confident.
Doing a project that requires a chain stitch, and found your video, looks easy, thank for posting. Will be watching the others also.
I'm glad it was helpful. :-)
Thank uuuu

I was on Pinterest and I saw a pin on chain stitching in order to create words on your work. And I thought that was cool that way your work gets to look really fancy. Although the site (after clicking on the link) does show step-by-step instructions with pictures I couldn't understand it. And it mentioned, "Fasten your yarn on the wrong side of the knitted piece." I know your video doesn't demonstrate that or maybe I missed it. But nonetheless I wanted to see how to chain stitch and I came upon your video which was great. Thank you for explaining so well and demonstrating a couple of times. And thank you for choosing a nice bright color. Sometimes when someone demonstrates using gray or black yarn I can't see were exactly the person is putting their tool in. So thank you.
that was so much simpler than the diagrams in school or any other video i've seen. thank you!!
Thank you Wendy, I'm a beginner and your video is very helpful for me
You have the best videos by far here on youtube for me. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us.

Love, love, love this video! Thanks for making it! Learnt it in a jiffy! Short, sweet, to the point!
Bless your soul, Wendi. This really helped me with my project (:
I love it too. :-) Sometimes I stitch with no TV or music - just so I can listen.
Thanks for this, I'm making an embroidery item for a wedding present and this stitch seems simple and a really nice idea to put on it! Wish me luck!
You really are a fantastic teacher. Thank you. I hope you have needlepoint videos.
it rlly helps and its much better than other videos including my school's videos! thx!
@iheartphoto Just starting out I'd recommend a solid-color woven cotton. Nothing stretchy or with any kind of texture to it. After you've gotten the hang of things, the sky's the limit! You can embroider on stretchy T-shirts, fancy velvets - just about anything!
Insta like.
I understood the process in the first two stitches.
We watch this in school a lot, who is watching in 2018? Also, I find that sound so satisfying when you pull the thread through idk why😂
thank you so much! i had so many trouble with this stich, until i found your video. :)
You had the best instructions off all
@verdeirisado Just about anything will work. In this video I'm using your basic 6-strand DMC embroidery thread.
Thank you so much, helped me for my textiles work at school!

@abbyvanessa I recommend printing it out exactly as you want it to appear on the pillow, then trace it onto your fabric and embroider. Easy peasy!
I have to do this stitch for homework. Thank you for this!!
Thanks for this- I've been asking my mum to teach me to do this for years!
I'm glad it was helpful. :-)
This helped me so much for my sewing class in school! Thanks!
@abbyvanessa I recommend using either backstitch or couching for lettering. Both of them do well on tight curves (you just need to do smaller stitches with backstitching) and they're smooth and easy to read. I have videos for both of them - look in the embroidery playlist. Good luck! It sounds lovely!
it thought me alot about making chain stitch
Thanks! Super easy and well explained
I'm so glad they've been helpful! :-)
This is so helpful, U r a lifesaver
Excellent demonstration! Thanks.
they are The end result looks like a tambour stitch but they are worked differently. As far as I know, tambour stitch uses a crochet hook, while this is a straight embroidery technique.
Thank you so much, Ms. Wendi!
wow ! thank you. it looks easy, after i watched your video. rather than i learn from the book
thanks...you explain better than my art teacher😂😂😂
These videos are super helpful, I have a hard time learning things like this from a book, so it's really nice to be able to watch these videos! Thanks so much for making them :D
This was a very clear, concise and informative video. I found it very helpful without being overly repetitive or simplified. I've subscribed to your channel to get more helpful embroidery tips. Keep up the good work! :)
Me gustan sus bordados, son fáciles y útiles mucho tiempo anduve buscando, gracias por compartirlos.
I have a project related to stitching and this video helped me a lot thank you sooooo much dear
I'm glad it was helpful!
Excellent tutorial. Thank you.
Your videos are such a help! Thank You x
I'm glad it was helpful. :-)
This was really helpful. Thank you!
Terima kasih atas tutorialnya Bu. Ini sangat membantu saya dalam mengerjakan tugas sekolah saya.
@anncheeka You're welcome!
thank's . This really helped for my project . Really glad i have watched your video
thank you so much for this video. you are so very clear.
This is just a piece of muslin. I usually stitch on any old woven cotton. I have a whole post on my blog about choosing fabric for embroidery. You can read it at wendigratz[dot]blogspot[dot]com/2012/01/ask-wendi-what-kind-of-fabric-can-i-use[dot]html
@BennettAshleigh You'll need to use a stabilizer on the back of the onesie since it's stretchy. There's a video for that at wendigratz(dot)blogspot(dot)com/2010/12/how-to-embroider-stretchy-fabrics(dot)html . After I'm done stitching I cut away most of the excess stabilizer and then toss it in the wash. I find that the brand I use (Sulky) softens up nicely and isn't at all itchy to wear. No need to add anything to the inside. :-)
@tasnuvat Happy to help!
Thank you for showing these stitches!
thanks very helpful video. i will come back to you to learn more stitches
I just taught myself to embroider yesterday using a couple of photo tutorials. I couldn't make much sense of the instructions for the chain stitch, so I came here. I'm glad I did! Thank you so much for making it clear for me. (I have to admit that I put the needle back very close to the original hole, not in the original hole, for each stitch because otherwise, my last chain stitch would come loose. My one photo tutorial said that's okay. Is that fine?)
Yes - that's fine. :-)
I'd like to watch all your videos from beginning to end, keep me posted on how to find them Thanks!
I found your videos on youTube, but you don't have one on the feather stitch, which I find the most difficult of the 10 basic stitches, will you please one? You are a wonderful instructer, thanks for for all your videos, now I have so much to practice, thanks
I have trouble following the diagrams in books too - that's why I started making videos. :-)
I understand it now thanks this video helped me alot
tank you
i love your video's and they have really helped me thank you xxx i tend to get funny looks when i go and asked for my materials in our local habby shop becuase i am supposedly 'younger' than their usually cleintel and it really annoys me hahaha xxx
Thanks a lot.This really helped me!!
Aresa Davis you to
Aresa Davis
Aaah, so this is how you do it. Thanks!
Its awesome when you get the hang of it
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
Thanks so much! I'm glad it was helpful. :-)
i love the sound of the thread being drawn through the taut fabric.
i know. i'm goofy ;p
This really helped me a lot. :)
Thanks you helped me with homework 😉
me encantan los bordados pues bordo toallas felicitaciones'
It’s beautiful
Thank you very much, I watched another 10 basic stitches and this one made it much easier. The one that I watched made it much more difficult, and she couldn't have been in a hoop. Regardless, this way is much more difficult to do. I subscribed to you, but I'm not quite sure what that means. How do I find more youtube videos of your work? Thanks, David
Hahahhaha XDD To find more youtube videos of her work, you need to subscribe but lol, you already did. Haha XD
Thanks so much! I'm glad they've been helpful. :-)
Thank you very much you helped me to do my project :)

Thanks so much! :-)
Thank you!!!!! You are great!!!
You're welcome. :-)
