Thank you for showing this technique. It's simply brilliant!! I still struggle with starting and stopping threads using the pin stitch in a satisfactory way. Do you have a favorite start and stop stitch? I would love to see a quick demonstration.
@@yvettestanton What I'm aiming to improve is to start and stop a single stitch without running the thread under or weaving (like when you have a single stand alone stitch that far away from any other stitch). I've been trying the pin stitch that cross stitchers use which typically hides the beginning thread satisfactorily but is visible when using it for the ending thread. I am open to any technique that will hide start and stop threads but just haven't found a good one that I can execute well.
Ah ok. I know pin stitch as something else, which is why I wanted to clarify. Unfortunately I don't have any methods to suggest. This isn't something I've needed or wanted to do, so I haven't experimented with it, sorry.
Hi Patricia, do you mean the eyelet is worked over two by two threads? Or do you mean each stitch over two threads (the whole eyelet over four by four threads - which is what is shown here)? Either way, yes, it should work. However, if you mean a gap of two threads between stitches (like an Algerian eyelet), I would probably finish on the back by sliding the needle under the stitches, because if you do it on the front, you'll see the thread between the stitches.
@@patriciacrisp7773 Start as shown because the only bit that is on the front is the knot, which you will cut off anyway. Finish by taking the needle through to the back and running it under the back of the stitches, or nearby stitching.
Thank you for showing the way you do your eyelets. It is definitely much better than what I have been doing for years!
I hope you have great success with it, Dawn!
What a great solution, I love stitching eyelet stitches.
Again this is a game changer. Thank you.
Excellent! Thanks!
Even though I had read this in your books, seeing it done makes it easier to follow! Thanks for all your videos.
Glad it has helped you, Lilian! These are the sorts of things people learn in my classes, for those who have the chance to attend one.
This is a great way to finish off. Thank you so much for sharing 👍
Wow! Amazing can’t wait to try , thank you!
excellent video and instructions! thank you very much Yvette!
Glad you liked it!
You were not talking about your project! It remains a complete mystery. Nice demo today. Thanks.
Yep, still a complete mystery! But thankfully, not to me. :-)
Oh, I'm in heaven. You are a lefty, too!
Thank you very much for this ❤️ You've added another piece of wisdom to my little collection
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! I will be using this technique soon. The joy is in the stitching.
Glad you have found it helpful!
Great demo Yvette. Thank you.
Thanks Diana!
Thank you Yvette.
Thanks, this demonstration was great! ...and I’m left handed 😊
Ah, my favourite stitchers - left-handers! :-)
Absolutely fabulous demo. Thanks so much
My pleasure, Jann!
This video was so helpful, thank you so much!!
My pleasure!
Thank you. So much easier to understand when I see it done.
Glad it helped, Irena!
The last three stitches are critical! What an amazing and effective solution to finishing off!
Thanks Jon!
This is a brilliant technique!
Thanks Vondalee!
Eyelets look great, thanks for sharing. Your new project sounds exciting.
Thanks Chris!
Thanks for sharing this much easier to understand when we it done
Glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial! Thank you.
Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you, love this
Glad you enjoyed it!

Jan, I might have a method for this... but first I need to know, what do you mean by pin stitch?

Brilliant!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you for the video will try this next time I do an eyelet. Could I ask for a video on the way you do a picot stitch thanks Yvette
Maybe, Susan. That's a very involved technique and possibly beyond my videoing skills at the moment. I'm learning as I go!
Hi Susan, my picot tutorial video is now live, but you've possibly already found it. :-)
Wow thanks I needed that
Very helpful although a contrasting floss color would make this easier to see the stitching.
Thanks for the suggestion. As a whiteworker, I'm used to seeing things in tone on tone. Getting out of that habit can be difficult!
I wish I had seen this before I tackled my alphabet of eyelet stitches. Doe this work if going over 2 threads?
Hi Patricia, do you mean the eyelet is worked over two by two threads? Or do you mean each stitch over two threads (the whole eyelet over four by four threads - which is what is shown here)? Either way, yes, it should work.

@@yvettestanton Yes, Yvette, I meant Algerian eyelet. So, it will work, but start and finish on the back?
