my mom did thread crochet, bed spreads, table cloths, simply beautiful and when I look t them I see the hours and hours of work she put into them.. IM 71 now and finally picked up her needles to give this art a try. I made a snowflake- horrible!!! But after watching your video, I know what i need to improve on,and I think my mom would be proud of me, although I will never have her skill!
Absolutely wonderful, thank you. Ijust finished my first loose, droopy, mixed tension project, haha! I am excited to continue on with this beautiful work again while implementing my newly found tips! You are a blessing to me and this video is so helpful, thank you!
Thank you for this. I have mastered the art of crocheting with yarn, and now I have about $300 worth of thread that was gifted to me from a deceased grandmother of my sisters friend. Now that I have these tips my work looks so much better. Thanks so much
This is just lovely. I’m brand new to crochet (I’ve made a few lopsided doilies so far) and just ordered the hook you recommended and some “8” thread to give it a go. I love the last name filet crochet designs. Growing up my dad had one framed on the wall that my great grandmother made for us. Now that I’m married, I want to eventually make one with my married name to hang up in our home. I never imagined I could do it and am surely not ready for it yet, but I am going to start practicing!! Thank you for the info and the encouragement!!
Hi Emily! Thanks for your message- I’m glad you found the video useful. I love the idea of a filet crochet piece with your surname… that will be so special, especially since your great grandmother also made one 😍
I’m so glad this video came thru my RUclips feed! I’ve been “yarn crocheting” for many, many years. I’m almost 65 and I began crocheting when I was 15. Never had I tried thread crochet until recently. HUGE difference and epic fail on my part. It looked like a 2 year old got into mommies thread. Terrible. So. Now that I have this maybe I’ll give it another go. Thank you so much!
Hi Katherine! Thank you for your comment! I really hope you get some better results by using some of the tips and don't be too hard on yourself! And most of all, I hope you enjoy crocheting in this lovely style.
Finally! I've never seen anyone else hold the yarn and the fabric the similar to how I do! Ppl always tell me it's "wrong". But I learned to crochet when I was 5. I can't ever recall having issue w my tension . I'm starting thread crochet and tunesian now too and appreciate the advice. I feel my eyesight may ruin it for me though.😢
Well, there's not really a "wrong" way to hold the hook as long as you're forming the stitches correctly and not risking any strain injuries. I think there's a lot of advice from people that don't actually have very much crochet experience past their own armchairs :-) ... I struggle with my eyes too ... I'm best in good, natural light and struggle at night when my eyes are tired :-(
Thanks for these tips. I've been crocheting for over 50 years and now find myself having to change the way I crochet due to arthritic hands. You learn how to adapt. I'm glad you can teach others as I've tried and I can't seem to get across to my student so instead I direct them to how to videos on RUclips.
I’m so happy to have found this video. I struggle with keeping my crochet thread from going up the hook. Then I look at my work and my stitches are uneven. No wonder! Thank you very much for these great tips. They are helping me immensely .🥰🌻
I cam across this tutorial ~ awesome help. I was having alot of difficulty with the tension until I wrapped the thread around my little finger twice. It has been a saving grace for me. Thank you so much ♥️ I subscribed too😉
I like your advice and guidance. I really dislike sloppy/messy stitches. I taught myself to crochet first on thread, and mostly on #30wt threads. I noted immediately that most of the work I was seeing on video tutorials produced very sloppy and messy looking work that bore little resemblance to the fine thread pieces that my grandmothers produced. Speed seemed to be the major underlying problem. And so I crochet very slowly and hold my thread in a nonstandard way that allows me to keep my tension more uniform. My pieces highlight the dimensionality of the finished pattern and hold their blocked form far better this way. I cannot complete projects with the swiftness that others do, but I am always confident that my efforts lead to an end product that would make my grandmothers proud.
Thank you so very much for this tutorial! I've been crocheting for 10 years now, but seldom with thread, since I was not comfortable with it before. Thank you, again
Thank you! Exactly the video I was looking for. I couldn't get my thread crochet to look nice at all, and I did not have any context on how to problem solve why. What I would do for yarn didn't work. Now that I understand what I was doing wrong, I'm excited to try again! I have always wanted to do thread crochet doilies, since I was young, after seeing some that my great-grandmothers made. It seemed like magic.
This is so helpful. I didn't even know where to start with thread crochet. The thread is so fine and the hook so dainty I couldn't even begin to imagine how to hold them.
I love to crochet with different colored threads and then sew my finished projects on black velvet to mount them. Thanks for the great video. Would love to see more of your work and patterns !!! Love & Light from NYC 💝💋
Your tips absolutely helped me! I was unaware of the importance of keeping your work at the top end of the crochet hook. My work has improved so much. The difference is night and day. My work looks so neat and clean now. Thank you for your excellent advice!
I had to dig deep into RUclips to find this tutorial. So pleased I found this, it’s British , so much is American and it’s like a foreign language, everything is different. Brilliant video, very clear. Thank you ❤️
Thank you for breaking this down for us. I've been searching for videos that show different ways people hold their work and realizing what a difference it makes. Even how far away from the needle our left point finger i.e. "thread tension finger" makes a huge difference in speed and gauge. I'm trying to bring my finger lower down to my work so I won't have to reach up with the needle to hook the thread and thereby avoid getting into that fat shank area. All the superhuman speed crocheters I've seen barely move their needles away from that left tension finger, just smoothly rubbing back and forth there and hooking the thread. It's amazing! This has been very helpful. Thanks so much!
I just coming back to say another huge thank you. I've used your tips to start making some kitchen curtains for the top of my windows..... it is a teapot and teacup pattern, and it looks so good and sits so neat. I'm going to use the same technique on my bedspread and rug I plan to make and I think the rug in particular will sit nice and flat and neat in comparison. So thank you very much...
Aww! That’s fantastic! I’m so pleased it helped and appreciate you taking the time to come back and let me know! I love the sound of your curtains😍 … are you using vintage patterns?
Lovely tips! One thing I do is (and mind, I’m still a beginner) is to crochet far tighter than I would with larger yarns and hooks by holding much more tension and sort of lightly tugging the yarn to finish a stitch. I do, though, typically work in laces that use a lot of chain and slip stitch, so tightly finishing those slips is important.
Thank you for the tips, I've been struggling recently trying to transition over to doing thread crochet and realized that my little $2 susan bates weren't going to cut it. Got some nicer ones and now my projects are looking like they should, especially after this video where I realized you have to keep the loops quite close to the hook part.
Thank you thank you. I needed these tips and techniques. I have numerous projects to do and so frustrated that my work does not always look neat. I wondered about the needle quality as well. Thank you again.
Thank you. The tips, especially the gauge one, has cleared up sooooo much for me. I have the correct hook and a good brand but it never works out. Now I know why. A BIG. thank you
Thank you! I’ve got my first filet crochet pattern and it’s been a bit of a mystery to me as far as the gauge- like you said I kept going down in hook size but not in gauge. Tensioning my loops correctly is doing the trick! I feel much more confident getting started now.
Thank you. I thot my old steel hooks were great. But devided try Clover size O-8 . Wow. Its changed my experience to really fun. Snd your hook tips, how loop sizes, & diff between yarn & thread IS diff. I thot was just me. I crochrted sfghans for 20 yrs & thot knew how, but recently started thread. Lots problems finding right hook, loop size, tension❤Love Clover , not $$$ for value
Hi Cathy! Thanks for taking the time to comment… yes, it’s a bit fiddly at first isn’t it, but definitely worth it! I love filet & thread but also enjoy working with thicker yarns too 😁
@@MezzaCraft was it you that spoke about the steel hook too? I pulled out a vintage straight steel tip hook and it is 100% neater and tighter that is making the drape neater.... I've always struggled with getting a fillet crochet curtain to hang properly and I think this tip has been the best tip ever.... I'm going to buy more!
Thank-you for the excellent tips, particularly using your index finger to keep loops at the end of the hook. This is the tip I’ve been looking for. As a side note, you happen to hold your yarn exactly the same way I do too, which is rare.
Thank you! Information about working in thread crochet is somewhat hard to find. Can find the patterns all over the place, but harder to find information about the correct way to crochet with thread and the tools (good ones also seem hard to find and the standards seem to be iffy).
Thank you so much. This was so helpful. Couldn't figure out why my stitches were getting so much bigger and open. Thought I was doing it tight, but I was moving my thread up the shaft. It looked really sloppy. Ended up taking the whole thing apart and starting over.
Thankyou for the very helpful tips. Any tips on how to finish the project..in filet especially the corners keep turning..how to keep it all straight and perfect?
Hi Yashshri, if you haven’t already, you can try washing & blocking - I.e. hand wash and then pin out to dry flat on a towel, concentrating on pinning the corners down. Another thing you could try is ironing the piece but placing a damp cloth between the work and the iron and then using a light starch spray.
I prefer crocheting with thread. I don’t like the feel of yarn. I don’t crochet large items. I do try to find motifs I can make a bunch of and attach to each other. Thankful for your videos.
I'm going you can help with a problem i have when doing filler crochet. It's my beginning chain. For some reason i cannot seem to do neatly looks loose and sloppy. The rest works up nearly. But that beginning chain is not so good. Any tips
My husband’s mother made a blanket with embroidery thread..304 rose squares.it’s amazing..not sure who would appreciate it any suggestions..I crochet but could never do anything of this magnitude .
That sounds beautiful! You’d definitely want someone that could appreciate all the hard work you husband’s mum put into the blanket… maybe try selling on Etsy or another handmade or vintage market?
is it ok to use the shaft when making a stitch or should i keep the thread nearer to the hook? I am making the stitches nearer the hook and they seem too tight. Any suggestions?
Hello! On most hooks the thread should go on the shaft after the throat which is usually tapered from the groove of the hook up to the shaft- if you keep the thread on the throat of the hook, the stitches will be too small. It’s difficult to explain without seeing what kind of hook you’re using!
Hello! I don’t know how thick crochet threads are in mm. I have used an 8 count thread in this video with a 1.5mm hook. I think the best thing is to just try the thread & hook and see if you like how the stitches and resulting material looks.
Yes that's true but they are usually the old fashioned steel hooks which are quite difficult to use. A lot of people use the hooks with ergonomic handles and most of them do widen out before the handle.
I use steel hooks from my Grandma that are mostly Milward brand and at least 70 years old. I will probably keep using them because I'm sentimental and loved her very much.
my mom did thread crochet, bed spreads, table cloths, simply beautiful and when I look t them I see the hours and hours of work she put into them..

Do u have a beginner video I can crochet but only with yarn
hello! I do teach beginners thread crochet in real life but I don't currently have anything available online.
اين الباترون بعد اذنك
Want to see the real starting pattern please
It’s a vintage crochet pattern called “Roses in Bloom Centerpiece” from the book “150 Favorite Crochet Designs” by Dover Needlework Series.
Or...just buy a hook which doesnt get bigger at the top.
Yes that's true but they are usually the old fashioned steel hooks which are quite difficult to use. A lot of people use the hooks with ergonomic handles and most of them do widen out before the handle.
I use steel hooks from my Grandma that are mostly Milward brand and at least 70 years old. I will probably keep using them because I'm sentimental and loved her very much.
