I'm glad you showed how it looks on the inside. I had really old sweat pants with my early work on patches on the knees. Looked awful, but worked well. After I darned all the socks with the honeycomb method, I turned the pants inside out used a chalk outline around the patch and went to work. When I turned the pants right side out. Wow! It looked like an embroidered dandelion gone to seed. I added a long curved stems and it looks so beautiful. I use the string I pull off feed bags. It's soft and works perfectly for mending I'm definitely subscribed.
Brilliant. You’ve opened up a whole new world to me. I’ve had my Nana’s mushroom decorating a spot in my room forever … it’s about to go to work 🌸🙏 Australia 🙃🦘
I've been trying to do this stich for a while now. I love your work, appreciate your clear instructions, and I'm so grateful for your calm,soft voice. I sure wish some of our sisters would take voice lessons before they bring their cheery" nails on a chalkboard" ear torture on line.
Much less fuss and precision than the usual under over darning. I use wool yarn on cotton socks so the repair will felt and stay soft for a very long time. )))
You'd be surprised! The threads lie so flat against the fabric and with each wash they blend in more. It's a great technique for jumpers and tops as well though

What sort of darning thread were you using? Thank you.
I'm using 100% cotton embroidery floss - split down to 4 strands instead of 6 :)
@@slowstitchclub thank you for that quick response. 🌻
Great tutorial, very clear and easy to follow. Thank you
You're so welcome, thank you!
i was taught this same stitch by my grandma as a kid, but as a way to make flowers lol. never thought about using it as a darning technique.

A dandelion gone to seed is such a beautiful way to describe it! This sounds beautiful, and I'm so glad you liked the video too :)

I'm so glad to hear this video has helped you! Thanks so much for your comment :)
Just finished this darn method on my sock. It worked beautifully! Thank you
thanks for showing this! I'm always looking for more darning methods
You are SO good at explaining this!
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! You've made me day :)
Beautiful and you were amazing! Thank you!!
Thanks so much Linda! :)
How do you figure out how much thread you need? I got about two rows into my repair and realized I didn't have enough thread to finish it,

Thanks very much for the tutorial. This is just the sort of thing I needed to jump start my repairs! Do you sell the darning mushroom you used here?
Hi, thanks so much! Yes I do, it's available in my shop: www.slowstitch.club :)
Thankyou this is saved for future use. I just subscribed. I see lot of great help here, thank you!
Would this work for jean that are almost threadbare? If not, can you suggest a method for that. Especially on the backside of the jeans.
So useful. Thx!
So glad to hear that!
Does this prevent a hole too? Wanted to try it in a large area of heel wear. Wool socks.
Yes it can help to reinforce thinned out areas!
Loved the video but the background music is a bit loud and makes it hard to understand you
Soy zurda quisiera hacerte una pregunta la puntada blanchett stitstich como se comienza?❤❤❤
I am left handed too! So this video shows how I would start this stitch :)
Muchas gracias
Just found you!
Looks cute but uncomfortable to wear.😲💖
