Question regarding your pattern and the fabric. Do you offer the pattern as a pdf? And do you have an idea about the thread count on your linen?

This will be fascinating, and I'm so glad you can share with us on RUclips! Congratulations!

Omgosh! That is excellent! Congratulations! Best of luck with the new endeavour. ❤

Congratulations on this new job! It sounds very exciting to be part of an interdisciplinary team.

Could we see how the dangling threads in the back get caught up? I envision it being so much neater than today's embroidery.

I’m just starting my Bayeux tapestry which I bought many years ago. Is it necessary to do the outline first or can one do that after the rest of the stitching?

Wonderful combination of history and embroidery, so glad you appeared on my feed yesterday.

Question-how long do you think it will take to finish this project? I enjoy listening to you thoughts and impression of what you are doing.

What an amazing project. I shall watch your progress with much interest. Cheers from Melbourne.

Hello! Super late here with a comment.. Thank you for yet another interesting video! I did cross stitch in my youth as well. I very much liked the counting but the finished pieces not so much (the supply was quite limited back then, at least where I lived so mum chosed and I made them for her. Really pretty pieces but I didn't care much for pretty:)). It's easier to find motifs that appeals to me today but for the moment there are other things that I rather do.. like EPP and more free form of embroidery and blackwork and stem stich and.. and.. and...! (I've been really inspired by the Bayeux videos you've made! (and by the tapestry itself of course). I'm very glad you like the water! Was actually going to edit it out because I thought it was probably just an unsolicited advice that you for sure already tried and dismissed. Good thing I didn't:) Maybe you can charge a ridiculously high price so noone can afford it. People can speculate why that little piece is a million pound🙃.

Erreurs et incomplet: on ne fait pas de noeuds,on ne met pas de barrette au bord du dessin, on ne met pas de picot au bord du dessin car c'est inutile,la demi ne donne aucune information sur le raccordement entre les zones brodées pour que le raccord reste invisible. Démonstration sans intérêt !

Que coisa mais linda. Um trabalho magnífico e de alto teor histórico. Fantástico 👏👏👏 Um grande abraço desde o Brasil

Excellent, I’m in the USA but I’ll look for it

I have to say that was satisfying to watch ^_^ kind of like when you wind wool, but it's thread!!

I'm currently watching it now!! So happy iplayer still has it in their collection!! You were fab!!x

Congratulations on becoming an RSN tutor. I hope to someday be able to take your course. Unfortunately with still having to work and being in the US, it’s hard to do right now.

Why is your fabric so loose in your hoops.

Alexandra buongiorno, complimenti per i tuoi video. Ti seguo con interesse sia per i tuoi racconti che per ovviamente i bellissimi ricami. Hai presente la serie "house of the dragon?", la sigla richiama appunto ricamo e storia troopppoo bello, tutte le volte che lo vedo mi torni in mente coi tuoi lavori. Mi piacerebbe cominciare con un piccolo disegno/schema, anche se seguo i tuoi tutorials vorrei qualcosa da sfogliare e tenere davanti di cartaceo mentre lavoro. Non sono digiuna di ricamo ma di questo genere si. Mi puoi consigliare una rivista o un libro (meglio) per principianti e i materiali? Grazie Mi chiamo Barbara, vivo a Milano Italy😊 Saluti e buon lavoro

Argh! I've only just found out the first 1 minute of video was not full screen after I exported it! Thanks to those who pinged me! I'll leave it up "as is" as a painful reminder to double check before posting!

That looks like it will be an intriguing project. i learnt embroidery very young. when emigrating I chose a Dimensions cross stitch kit to work on until we got settled. 35 years later, i enjoy blackwork and hardanger when I get to them, full coverage cross stitch each night (easy to hide miscounts usually,) and various kinds of counted cross stitch through the day, with Long Dog Samplers and Modern Folk Embroidery being favourites. I think embroidery maybe requires so much more concentration on stitches that the rhythm and colours become secondary and thus less relaxing than straight cross stitch which only has the counting and finding the correct holefor htread up or down. :D imo.

Thanks Alex for introducing us to your project for the Broderers Exhibition- looking forward to seeing your updates on this piece of work - sounds like it’s going be beautiful. Embroidery along with others traditional crafts are wonderful, and it’s so interesting seeing how skilled and clever our ancestors were - wherever in the world and in whatever age they lived - and very important to keep these arts and crafts alive😊

Can I say that I enjoy watching your educational and most enjoyable videos. I find sitting doing any kind of embroidery very relaxing and since finding the apps on my computer relating to my hobby makes it all the more enjoyable. Can I ask what kind of frame you are using for this project?. Will look forward to seeing you in your next video.

Thank you for the lovely video. I played it while stitching a traditional Hungarian irasos "written" embroidery design on hand woven hemp. So fun, and very relaxing to hear your fountain and birds singing while stitching.

This is very fascinating to look at. You can tell that the craftmanship is of the highest quality when you see how even and neat everything looks from the front, but looking at the back emphasizes that even more, cause now you can tell how precise everything is actually placed.

Such a good idea to show the back and the front at the same time.

What a great video. I'm going to try this technique to stitch an image of friends that I do Living History with, sort of as a family foto. Hope all goes well. Now, one question: is it better to do the outlines before or after the laid/couch work?

Nice to see you stitch again:) I don't know the definition of slow stitching but surely you could talk😊. I still find it mindful anyway. (If that's the definition...) Thank you for showing the progress!!

I truly enjoy your site and watching you do your work. one of my fondest memories is my trip for France where we made a visit to see the Tapestry and visit the lovely town of Bayeux. If I could make one comment, there seems to be some low grade static in your sound track. It's not the wildlife, they are lovely to hear. But it just seems to be static and I can hardly hear your comments, for some reason, even with my sound turned all the way up. I still very much enjoy watching your techniques. Thank you for sharing.

Very good thank you. I am surprised they started with a knot. But I’m willing to follow in the footsteps of these embroiderers. However you don’t say HOW THEY FASTENED OFF. Can you please let me know how they did that. I can’t turn my embroidery over as I’m sure they couldn’t either as it’s on a frame. So how did they do it? I’m reluctant to start my Bayeux embroidery until I know!

Alex, you are TOO MUCH! Racing around like a maniac, giving lectures, attending conferences, developing tutorials, writing articles, not even stopping to attend the ceremony celebrating your fellowship with the RSN. Oh, and doing some actual embroidery, of course. Can't wait to see your RSN class lineup. OK, now change into your sneakers and runrunrun!

Hi Alexandra. Congratulations on your RSN Fellowship; I look forward to more info on your designs for them. I also wanted to say how much I enjoyed your talk for the Embroiderers Guild.

So glad to hear so many things are popping! I had a panic over the weekend thinking the algorithm had dropped your videos from my queue!! lol!

Lovely hour spent with you.

Another beautiful video. Thanks so much for sharing.

Thank you ❤

Just amazes me that with your professional and private life you have this “casual” bayeux recreation project just for a laugh! Don’t apologise, and I’d love a special announcement for when that writing is allowed to be announced!

Oh I’ve been looking for in depth mediaeval silk embroidery detail it’s so hard to find without access to scholarly databases I’m so excited to dive in to this

As someone who embroiders mainly with filament silk, and who also hates liking the thread, I feel your threading frustration

“You’ve been sucked into the black hole that is Early Mediaeval Embroidery” well I’m in good company!

A front AND back view? And history? I have to subscribe! I know you said there’s a variety of ways for finishing thread on the tapisserie de Bayeux, was it the same for starting? Did they use knots?

Why don’t you use your extremely fine wool double? It would give your work the special dimensionality and texture beloved in crewel work.

Thank you for thoroughly covering these things because choosing the right ground and threads really is vital to recreation.

I love your channel, please don’t apologise for being busy!! 💜

No need for apologies ❤ You are a busy woman.

All sounds very interesting❤

Thank you for your update. Can’t wait for your announcement! I know you have been busy but I hope it has been a good time as well. Will you show some of the leather work you were talking about on the channel? Or show us some? All the best.

Thank you for an inspiring video

You do not have to apologize,please!!! I do not know how can I thanks you for this page!!! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Eeeep. You have been super busy! I love these videos so much! Thank you for going through all this extra work to bring them to us. ❤
