Oooo this video makes me want to grab my needle and hoop right now!! ... However it's 4am. But it's lockdown, so time is irrelevant and embroidery has no bedtime!!
Some of my inherited tablecloths from my great-grandmothers are so immaculately done that it can be difficult to tell which is the right side unless you check the edges where the actual fabric has been turned under... But that's a ridiculous standard, and as a beginner I think it's absolutely stupid to repeat the old adage about the front being as tidy as the reverse. I'm all for your appreciation of the weird back side that shows how the front came into being!
Very true! There is an incredible art and skill to the double-sided style of embroidery that I certainly hope isn't lost to the ages, but at the same time, I want to encourage many people to try out this craft, so I think it's important to note that standards don't have to be that high - it's all about having fun and creating something you love!
You've been a great help to me as a complete beginner, thank you. I LOVE that final piece you showed here, it's just the kind of thing I aspire to do one day (hopefully)
That's so kind of you to say! Those big pieces can be daunting, but when inspiration hits and you commit to one, it's a super good learning experience!
Hot damn:o that piece you showed near the end... I can imagine your proud of it:o. It looks realy impressive and i can imagine it took you 9 month's :p.
Thanks for sharing all those wonderful tricks :)) which stitch is the one black and white only (outline of woman with kids) so beautiful!!! Thanks again
I'm so glad you enjoyed them! I'm guessing you mean one of the Mary Poppins original illustrations I stitched - those were all done using regular backstitch in 1 and 2 strands of black embroidery floss!
Thank you Thank you Thank you!! It's so disappointing to find a beautiful embroidery piece, only to turn it over to the back and see what looks like a trailer park after a tornado. Not to mention that the threads are a breath away from being either 1: Snagged on the back and puckering the entire piece. Or 2: A thread from gets pulled from the front and it begins the come undone. So...again...Thank you for this video!! l~~~~
There's so many different ways to tie off your thread, it's always really interesting to find out that others have been doing it differently this whole time!

Your French Dispatch is gorgeous.
Thank you so much! It was quite a feat to finish!

4 AM stitching is the best! It's so peaceful and quiet, so you can really focus and relax!

Securing your thread is definitely an important part of the process! It would suck to spend time on something and then have it pulled out.
Interesting I haven't used anything like this (as a beginner stitcher)
