Thank you so much. I have been embroidering for some time but have always been afraid to even watch a tutorial on stumpwork. Your casual approach (and proper English, I might add). Sure presents it as less frightening. Thank you again for your time.
I wish I could put all my ten fingers as a thumb up))) Sarah, thank you. It’s a perfect object teaching. Your videos are absolutely professional: you speak clearly, you put stitches in the camera focus, and all the movements are so demonstrative. It’s a great job! I think we should also credit Jonathan with highly effective video. ❤️
Gorgeous picture!! The layering & the fabric dimension really compliment each other so well!! I can’t tell you how quickly I smile whenever one of your videos is next on my RUclips feed!! I instantly tape the Play button & enjoy every minute of your videos👍🏻🙌🏻🤗👏🏻 - thank you to both you & your husband 👍🏻!!
Congratulations on the new lights. The dragonfly looks pretty....and spangles are fun. Thank you for all you do to help us along on our embroidery journey. 😊🩷😊
Hello Sarah, I look forward to your new videos every Friday. I enjoy watching all your videos. I am learning so much. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. With much appreciation, Claudia
Kudos on the new studio lighting; hope that you'll now be able to more comfortably record your videos! Love the watercolored lace and gold lame background for your blue dragonfly - gorgeous! Thanks for demonstrating these stumpwork-friendly stitches & their variations. The third leaf variation really floated by boat, and I look forward to the day when I can give that a try. In the meantime, I'm enjoying how much I'm learning from you in each subsequent video and can hardly wait to practice each new skill. Thanks a million! Shout-out to hubby and the kitties! 😀
@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery Thanks, Sarah! ❤ Complications with the leg will postpone the surgery on my hand, but I'll get there eventually and look forward to some stumpwork and gold work in my future! 🙂
Much thanks Sarah and Jonathan for another excellent video! I especially want to try that raised leaf stitch. You both enrich our lives with these videos.
Brilliant lamp thank you for sharing and the code. Love the stitches too so clever 😀😍 I want to hang stitch a skirt so this method of embroidery would be beautiful indeed 💝 love love that flower stump work your so clever 💐
Thank you for sharing this… I’ve done embroidery for years but never attempted stump work. I purchased a book a while back but never tried it. You make it look so easy.., you’re a great teacher. 😍
That was great Sarah, and such interesting stitches. Loved the buttonhole Rose, totally amazed at the leaves created by stitching over the bar template!, really loved your little sampler at the end too, and I've always wanted to understand how to do woven picots, such a lot to have a go at, thank you very much
Thanks Sarah, all great stitches. I love the turkey rug stitch, so much so that I wanted to do an embroidery portrait of my daughters King Charles Spaniel sorry you will have to take my word for it, he it turned out so lifelike. Therefore so well worth it to learn this stitch if you want to do embroidery animals. I love doing stump work and its interesting that you have used so many other stitches. I certainly have learned so much from you Sarah.
Thank you! Ive been looking for exactly that stitch (raised leaf) for a project of mine to add some texture and make the satin stitched birdy pop out. But everything i was finding looked round (for flower petals), were more triangle then leaf shaped, or else was waaaay to big for what i wanted my leaves to be. This is perfect.
Thanks so much, I’m learning a lot! It would be great if you could do a tutorial incorporating the little rose you made in your sample. It’s just so cute 🌸
That video will be up on my Members and Patrons channel next week Daniele. Your Dragonfly is lovely by the way, thanks for sharing, he's coming up next Friday! x
This is great! I'd really love it if there were any that you could show that does shapes like ovals woven but to the fabric maybe with stuffing or padding of some sort underneath. There's this quilt technique that's really similar but I can't find any tutorials on it (and I have no clue how to quilt) but I just love really playing with and pushing the boundaries of embroidery and see what they can do for me.
@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery Yes, that's it. My problem is I have no clue about quilting and not much interest and what I could find was really complicated or confusing. Durno. Though I've done some padded embroidery where you do the embroidery and then cut the backing and stuff the front fabric, which is stretch fabric, of course..
"Spangles"??!! I love that! In America, we call those "sequins". Not as cool a word. You'd think the country with the "Star-Spangled Banner" would hop on board with that one lol
@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery oh my gosh I didn't know that!! I'll have to check it out; I'm obsessed with your content and your talent!! I've only just found you yesterday, and I must've watched two hours of your stuff! I thought those were sequins by the look of them, but I was on my phone so it was quite small. Thanks for the information 🙂
How is it you get the needle to hold thread that isn't doubled? I see your little loose end up by the needle eye and I just cannot, for the life of me, figure this out. I keep thinking maybe it's just on without a knot, but, wouldn't the thread slip right out every single time you go through your fabric? Because many of these stitches wouldn't look the same with the thread having been doubled up. I've literally JUST begun embroidery so I'm very confused about this. If anyone at all could answer for me I'd be so very grateful!!
Hi. The thread isn't doubled. You just thread it through the needle and leave a little end dangling. As long as you don't pull the needle through the fabric too vigorously the little end will stay in the needle. As you become accustomed to stitching, so your hands will become more aware of where that little "tail" is, and you will notice if the thread moves; so if the tail starts to slip out of the eye of the needle, you gently smooth it back with your middle, ring and little fingers of the hand holding the needle. Of course every so often it WILL wriggle out of the eye, but the more experience you get, the better it will behave. Unless you use metallic thread - that's very naughty and it wriggles a lot!! Hope that helps. Oh, and also, you have to have the right size of needle for your thread. If you have very skinny thread and a needle with an enormous eye, then you will have a lot more difficulty. Match the needle to the thread - Sarah has a video on this.
I’m desperately looking for wire. I’m located in France and the one store that used to carry them is out of business, unfortunately. Would be lovely if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks
@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery thank you so much Sarah for your response! Will do. I definitely should plan a visit to the UK very soon. Too many fabulous supplies and textile artists! Hugs

Never too old!

Thanks Natalie! Those leaves were a bit tricky...:) x
Oh fun! I'm working on something with bees so will have to try the turkey stitch on some of them.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful tutorial
You are truly a gifted artisan and teacher. Thank you

Thank you Sonia!
Thank you .I enjoyed it well done. You showed the stitch loved the variation . I don't usually follow directions and like to personalize stitches.
Congratulations on the new lights. The dragonfly looks pretty....and spangles are fun. Thank you for all you do to help us along on our embroidery journey. 😊🩷😊
How lovely. Raised leaf.
Thank you for your fine demos, Sarah.
Thank you Kay! x

I’m sorry I missed the dragonfly project.
Thanks so much, Sarah
Thank you for your support Agnes x

They are a bit fiddly so try them when you are nice and calm! x

Ooh that's great, can't wait!, thank you Sarah
That light is amazing!
This is a wonderful tutorial. All of them are. Thank you.
Wow Sarah! thank you so much❤
Wow, that was a wonderful class on Stumpwork. I always look forward to your videos!

I have been wanting to do stump work for a long time, and this lesson was great! It took all the mystery out of it. Thanks so much!
I will use the raised leaf technique. It looks really effective and I can use my plastic ruler to wrap the thread around. Patreon.
You might need something a bit smaller Elizabeth, but try it out and let me know how you get on!
Thank you enjoyed that
Thank you! Ive been looking for exactly that stitch (raised leaf) for a project of mine to add some texture and make the satin stitched birdy pop out. But everything i was finding looked round (for flower petals), were more triangle then leaf shaped, or else was waaaay to big for what i wanted my leaves to be. This is perfect.
The buttonhole bars look so similar to the cast on stitch but much more accessible for me to work with my dexterity and strength limits, thank you!
Thank you for this, Sarah! I’m new to embroidery and I really want to learn stumpwork. This was very helpful! Much love to you ❤
I bought your pattern today and can’t wait to start! Beautiful work 💛
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. You are greatly appreciated. 😀

Great demo as always, thank you. Have you ever worked with 1/2 cone sticks or embroidery shoes?
Where can I buy the embroidery frame like yours?
Thank you for an interesting demo Where is you accent from.

If I cant find paper covered colored wire can the non paper covered wire work?
Yes!
I’m desperately looking for wire. I’m located in France and the one store that used to carry them is out of business, unfortunately. Would be lovely if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks
Why not try the copper bit from electric wire, the thin one you usually use at
Christmas to decorate the tree or wreaths etc
@@margaretvincenti915 thank you, Margaret! I’ll give it a try
Try somewhere that sells cake decorating materials!
