    Nice tutorial. For me personally it's easier to seperate the 6 strands before stiching but use them all at the same time. This way they are nice and parallel without twisting.

    What lovely work! I’d love to watch more, but halfway through, I realised that the music was so loud and intrusive that I needed to turn off and give my brain a rest.
    And to all those who say, mute your device, yes that is what I do all the time. And then I miss the teaching! And I live my whole life in silence (I’m partially disabled and live alone).
    I really love to learn new techniques but when human voice is overlaid with relentless music, those of us with neurological conditions will have to decline this pleasure.
    I’m pretty sure that the whole video would have been simply gorgeous without music, and so much calmer for us odd folk to enjoy as well. 😂😂😂

    Why do you start a little in rather than on the edge of your design

    • @cassiemdias
      @cassiemdias  Месяц назад +1

      When I was first starting out and trying to do the satin stitch, I found that when I started at the edge, my design would warp a bit, which may have had something to do with my fabric not being pulling taut enough…I’m not sure. I figured out that when I started a little bit further in, the stress was taken off the very edge.

    Thank you. Satin stitching was my least fav. The untwisting of the thread will make the difference.
