Thank you so much for explaining things in easy terms. All the other videos I’ve seen are so ridiculous showing advanced techniques without any explanation at all! You’re a saint! Thanks again so very much!
Thank you Tatiana! Glad you are finding useful....
Thank you for your online tutorials. I find them most helpful.
Thankyou for your message, glad the tutorials are helpful! Pearl purl comes in different lengths and you can stitch down whatever the longest length you have is. Just make sure the whole length is stretched evenly...
Sorry for the delay. Part 3 will be uploaded by the end of this week.
Thank you for watching. I hope these videos are enjoyable and useful.
You are so cool and have such great skills 💛
Excellent tutorial, thank you!
Thanks for your comments Joann, hope the tutorials are helpful. A good strong sewing thread such as a Gutermann sew all thread works well. Make sure you run it through the beeswax first though.
Interesting
El bordado excelente, me encantó!!!!...Y las manos realmente hermosas, muy bien cuidadas!!!..Felicitaciones! Muchas gracias, por enseñarnos tan bello arte!
Yes the purl does look like beads! And once cut up, you apply in the same way. I hope you have fun trying the technique...
Good morning - beautiful videos - may I ask, as a beginner, how are you backing the fabric and getting it so flat into the embroidery hoop? Thank you
We have a couple of videos on ring frames and wrapping your embroidery hoop here Scottia, hopefully these will help :

I put a cotton backing fabric behind the embroidery fabric and frame them up together as if they were one piece...
LOVE THE VIDEO, what size bead and wire do you use? why doesn't bead slip off wire? Looks very neat an manageable. Thank you for sharing. Can't wait to try.
Execellent video! I have always been interested in embroidery especially gold work. I have bought a few books on gold embroidery and was dissapointed, in that they assume you know somthing about gold embroider already. I want to embroider a coat of arms on a regimental flag (3'x 5'). but am not sure how what to use , purl, plate etc. and where to get it. I would love to see how to laydown plate and also couching and what is the longest length a length of purl that can be stiched
Hi..What kind of thread do u use for stitching the pearl purl..?? Love ur Tutorial..
Hi, may i know if the pearl purl is waterproof?
Thank you 😊
I went back and watched again and now I understand what purl wire is.
Hi, I like ur embroidery work. U teach very well. I want to know how to store this golden wire to save its color and shine . Actually I buy this and after a month my gold wire color turned black. No more gold and shine😞 I just wear my dress only 1 time. Please tell me how to save it?
Keep the gold threads and metals in acid free bags (we have some in our online shop here: www.sarahhomfray.com/myshop/prod_5257815-Acid-free-bags-pack-of-10.html). When working the gold, wash your hands regularly and don't put on hand cream, make-up etc. Keep the finished embroidery/dress away from light, heat and damp. You can't stop the tarnishing process, only slow it down and you can't clean the gold once it's been stitched but tarnishing is part of the technique of goldwork so don't worry and wear your dress with pride!
beautiful
I like embroidery
what kind of fabric does it best to work with for embroidery/ gold work? and what kind of thread did you use? and what is the name of the fabric you use for the padding? is there any other way I can contact you to ask further more about embroidery/ gold work? I'm really interested in it, but I don't have the fund to get a proper education about it :) btw great video tutorial! really explain a lot! :D
Use a natural fabric Ayu; Cotton is good to practice on as it is strong and inexpensive (I've used cotton in the video) but you might want to use something more luxurious for a finished piece such as silk, linen or velvet (cotton velvet is easier to use the silk velvet). The stitching is quite dense so back the piece with calico or cotton and stitch through both layers for extra stability.
I used a strong sew all thread to sew down the gold with, and the padding for this piece is felt (check out the goldwork padding video here: ruclips.net/video/K22r8_ds8jM/видео.html).
Check out the other goldwork videos to learn about the individual gold metals and threads, and look out for some more goldwork videos to come! You can get in touch with me through the contact page of my website: www.sarahhomfray.com/contactme.html

I do traditional English embroidery Khateeja, so I have not come across that. Does it have another name I might know it by?
Is the pearl purl real gold or a plate?
It comes in several forms, I use a gilt version (with a very small percentage of gold) or you can buy it with 2% gold in it. The former is good for practising with!
Where is part 3?
Sarah came you sent same designs please
Hi Nelly, there is a materials pack with screen-printed design here:

I am new to embroidery, is there something else one can use to wax the thread besides bee's wax? As a vegan I try to avoid using animal products.
There are 2 products named 'Thread Magic' & 'Thread Heaven' that claim to do the same job as beeswax but I prefer using the natural beeswax - it just seems to work better for me. And it costs less! I do not know if there are any animal products (or synthetic chemicals etc) in those two products. Sorry I can't help beyond that.
Sarah Homfray Thank you for answering! I will look into those products.
Just as an FYI, I do not believe Beeswax would be considered an "animal product" as it is not made FROM Bees, but rather BY Bees, at least in the "vegan" sense of the term. Generally, no Bees are harmed when collecting it.
@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery bees wax is used to stop thread knotting ~ where as Thread Magic and Thread Heaven or both conditioners and are used to actually stop your thread themselves from fraying!!
Bees wax stops the thread fraying (and knotting) by physically sticking the fibres together so they all do the same job really
