How to do satin stitch 
Хобби
Love the way you explain and zoom into to show the stitches working. It is not only crystal clear for the learner, it is quite hypnotising to see the stitches working into the fabric so beautifully. Thanks for your lovely lessons.
Thank you Professor Homfray
cannot agree more with crossstitchbutton, Love all videos, they are not only clear but also professionally filmed. you are a great teacher , hope you could keep uploading more videos
Beautiful work. Really like your soft spoken style. Easy to learn.
Thanks Patty!
The split stitch first gives such a nice even edge to the satin stitch. Thanks so much for sharing this!
I just started doing embroidery a few months ago and you helped me so much already!! With your super tips you made my life so much easier haha!! Thank you very much!!
I just started also. One thing I can't seem to get is how to cut off the knot with unraveling the thread.
Brilliant, love the split stitch around the satin stitch first.
Thank you for this demo. The camera really got close so I can see your beautiful stitches. I am learning a great deal from your videos. Thank you.
I am brand new to embroidery. It is the look of crewel embroidery that has peaked my interest. I’ve been searching for well made videos and you deliver. Thank you so much!
Wonderful! Welcome on board the embroidery train!
Yeah! Beautiful. Thank you Mrs. Sarah for your lessons!
I recently tried to use 2 needles and it was super hard not to get everything tangled. I'd never have thought to bring the stitch to the front. That's a game changer. Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful work Sarah. Thank you for all your tips. Xx 💕💕
I think I haven’t been pulling my satin stitch tight enough. Thank you so much for your tutorials 😊
It's a fine line between baggy and too tight DinahCcolors Ronda!
This was very helpful! Loved the shading technique! Thank-you! 😃
Great video especially for a beginner! Thank you!
I'm very much enjoying your tutorials. Thankyou Sarah.
Love your tutorials!!! You are a great teacher! Thank you! ❤❤❤
Thank you, I find myself getting a bit stressed when I’m learning a new stitch & your voice is so calming that it makes my breathing slow down! It’s also very nice to see how you make it look better when there’s a little bit not quite perfect!! Of course I’m not anywhere near perfection right now, but a good example really does help me! I like the shaded stitching, too, that hadn’t even occurred to me yet! A very nice video, thank you!
Have a spare bit of fabric to practice on Erica so you aren't practiciing on your actual piece, you will find this much less stressful!
l love your videos Sarah. l'm really learning a lot but more importantly l'm developing a passion for embroidery. ❤ thank you.
The passion must come first, then the learning is easier! x
You have the best tutorial videos love them happy stitching xx
Thank you very much cross stitch button!
Excelente, gracias
Thank you very much 😊
very helpful thank u
Excellent.
🙏🏽
I notice you don’t tie off or knot off when you change color (I’m new to this!) (as of this week actually!) I’d like to look into how you locked the color before changing it 😅
Hi Sarah, do you have a video on how to start and finish embroidery so it looks neat on the back. My work looks not so neat. Thanks Diane from the US
Try this one here on starting and finishing your threads Diane:
ruclips.net/video/K1jFqcSRDhA/видео.html
Other things that will help:
Keep your thread lengths short so they don't get tangled on the back
Don't jump around the embroidery with one thread; this makes long stitches on the back which can break and come undone
It does't need to look neat on the back, it just needs to be reasonably flat (so no knots!) and the ends started and finished properly so that the stitching is secure
Do you use the same number of strands for the split and then the satin stitch please Sarah?
Do we do a split stitch to add support and seperation to silk stitch?
Yes, both of those and to make a nice smooth edge
Thank you for the tutorials. I learn so much. I have done freestyle work for many years but am not satisfied with my padded satin stitch. Which method is best please? Thank you.
What problems are you having with it Michelle?
It just seems 'flat'.
Hi Sarah I see in this vid you are using two fabrics one as a backing. How then is it you can park your needles and then go back through both fabrics accurately to reuse a thread ? I always find I can get through the top fabric fine or just one fabric but can’t get through both the top and backing fabrics and of course end up in a right mess, unless I unthread, pull the thread back to the underneath and then retread.
It takes a bit of practice but you need to pull the thread back on itself so it opens up the hole Peter. A little trick is to 'park' your needle as close as you can to where you might need it next then if you can't get it back through the hole and make small stitch by accident it won't matter!
What is that contraption called that your working on and where do I get one?
I'm use an ordinary embroidery ring frame Debra that's held in a versatile table clamp (I'm actually using two table clamps to keep the frame extra stable for the camera but you only need one if you aren't filming it!). You can buy them from our shop here:
www.sarahhomfray.com/myshop/prod_4538062-Versatile-table-clamp.html.
The clamps fit to a table so double check the description to make sure it will fit onto yours.
@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery thanks for the info what an awesome lil gizmo, a definite must have.
I will be starting a very large( wall size hanging) crosstich project an was wondering if there was a floor unit that I should look at for a more sturdy work surface?
Do you always do split stitch before doing the satin ?
Can
you trun up your volume.
Love your blog.
We've checked the volume on the recording and it's the same as the other videos Althea; double check the settings on RUclips or your device to see if that helps
Is that braided thread your using?
It's a Madeira Lana thread Chrystina. See them in our shop here:

hmmm . . . You really must have little eyes in the tips of your fingers. Why do you split the stitch from underneath? Is it better that way? That is some fine spatial awareness or proprioception you have developed.
I wish I did have eyes in my fingers! Spliting the stitch from underneath uses a bit less thread and isn't so bulky on the back but it's fine to do it from either side!
Thank you Professor Homfray
