I think I need both. The diagrams and the demonstration and explanation. Then going back to the diagrams makes a little more sense. And then, of course DOING the thing - or trying to. LOL
I am just starting embroidery and I am working on a freehand project and wanted a linear stitch that would give my mountain texture. Thank you for this video
I tried these stitches with variegated crewel yarn while listening to your music. It made me forget the summer heat! The colors brought out the detail of the stitches. Also played with the width and it had a nice effect. The reference articles are fascinating. Question: You mentioned that these stitches are used for seams? Could you please show how? Also, it would be great to see you wearing your projects.
Fascinating! Thank you so much for sharing this! I honestly would never have found you if not for the Christmas gift thing you participated in a few years ago. So thank you for that as well. The stiches very much put me in mind of the Nålbinding/Needlebinding stictching used by the vikings for “knitwear”. Especially in the way they get more and more ‘complicated’. I checked the embroidery stitches on the Skjoldehamn garment, but the stitches there are nothing like these.
Ah, you've sent me down the historical rabbit hole now. Thank you for including the research sources! I am sewing mostly 18th Century techniques but this opened my eyes to the many adventures that await if I so choose to explore a bit further back in history.
Even if it isn’t at all historically accurate, I’d like to give one of these a try, maybe to reinforce the top of the shoulder seam on a kirtle- just because it would look lovely and add a lot of decoration to an area that would normally be fairly plain. I think it would look pretty cool in a metallic or contrasting colour. Like, a red kirtle with gold metallic braid embroidery on the shoulder seal and the cuffs! Ooh I have so many ideas now! (My poor future projects list!)
Also, I am loving announcing the ad break! I find that it makes the ads seem less intrusive than they normally do. I really appreciated it when Courtney at Opus Elenae started announcing them. I think it’s the best possible way to have an ad in the middle of the content, without an ad suddenly interrupting.
@@katherinemorelle7115 Yeah, as a watcher it's what I prefer as well! I do try and do it as often as I can, but sometimes it's hard to know how long a video will be and when one will fit in! But even if that is the case I make sure they go somewhere that they won't interrupt a sentence, because there's nothing more annoying!
Thanks so much for falling down the Welsh Viking-inspired rabbit hole, what he was doing looked more compliacated than I can handle but the first plait stitch, I think I could sort that one out! And then maybe work up to the complicated ones. I've been looking for something to embellish some of my medieval-style garments and wasn't having a lot of luck finding anything uncomplicated. Also this looks like a great way to start the one stitch I CAN do (chain stitch). Now... I just have to pick a colour.. (spoiler alert, it'll probably be purple)
If you can do a chain stitch, look up heavy chain stitch (pg34) on the Brandenburgh paper I linked! It's slightly different than the one we use today, but not that different. I thought about including it on this, but didn't in the end.
Hi ! I am currently in a living history association in France, we're reenactinfg Varangian Merchants. I am looking for embrodery patterns and stitches in Scandinavia and Slavic areas, from the 9th to the 11th century. Still no luck :/ Does anyone here have an historical source ? Thank you !!

Is one of these the one that @thewelshviking was demonstrating for his medieval hat?
The last one is! This video is a result of the rabbit hole that sent me down XD
@@Dolthalion i went on the same rabbit hole :D
@@Dolthalion that's so cool.
@@Dolthalion I love it when my favourite Costubers collaborate or get inspired by each other.
Say the word medieval embroidery am I am here for you. :)
The way you teach is very clear and helpful, thank you so much ❤
Thank you so much for the step by step, I can never wrap my brain around those diagrams and this makes it much easier to understand!

Take my early upvote. This is exactly what I need today, thank you! I shall come back and watch it properly later.
Boss battle embroidery had me snickering! Such a great description!
Ey another Gilbert video!
I've been missing your content lately :) glad to see you piping up in my feed
I enjoyed that so much, thank you

Thank you for sharing these. Im having visions of using one of these along the sides of one of my bags.

Really clear instructions, thank you. I might have a go at the raised one for my mandala
Such a good vid and hypeee
Those were wonderful. Very well taught. I can see how they will take some practice. I guess work begins. :D
Thank you for a very pedagogical video!
Beautiful stitch! I am Dutch but never learnt this one.

Re the bloopers: German does have one advantage over English, and that is that the pronunciation is generally straightforward.
