    Thanks, hon. I’ve watched numerous video tutorials, but there’s something about how you did this, or the way you explained it, that the lightbulb in my brain switched on. Yay!

    I was on Pinterest and I saw a pin on chain stitching in order to create words on your work. And I thought that was cool that way your work gets to look really fancy. Although the site (after clicking on the link) does show step-by-step instructions with pictures I couldn't understand it. And it mentioned, "Fasten your yarn on the wrong side of the knitted piece." I know your video doesn't demonstrate that or maybe I missed it. But nonetheless I wanted to see how to chain stitch and I came upon your video which was great. Thank you for explaining so well and demonstrating a couple of times. And thank you for choosing a nice bright color. Sometimes when someone demonstrates using gray or black yarn I can't see were exactly the person is putting their tool in. So thank you.

    @iheartphoto Just starting out I'd recommend a solid-color woven cotton. Nothing stretchy or with any kind of texture to it. After you've gotten the hang of things, the sky's the limit! You can embroider on stretchy T-shirts, fancy velvets - just about anything!

    they are The end result looks like a tambour stitch but they are worked differently. As far as I know, tambour stitch uses a crochet hook, while this is a straight embroidery technique.

  • @WendiGratz
    @WendiGratz  12 лет назад

    @abbyvanessa I recommend using either backstitch or couching for lettering. Both of them do well on tight curves (you just need to do smaller stitches with backstitching) and they're smooth and easy to read. I have videos for both of them - look in the embroidery playlist. Good luck! It sounds lovely!

    Thank you very much, I watched another 10 basic stitches and this one made it much easier. The one that I watched made it much more difficult, and she couldn't have been in a hoop. Regardless, this way is much more difficult to do. I subscribed to you, but I'm not quite sure what that means. How do I find more youtube videos of your work? Thanks, David

  • @WendiGratz
    @WendiGratz  12 лет назад +1

    @BennettAshleigh You'll need to use a stabilizer on the back of the onesie since it's stretchy. There's a video for that at wendigratz(dot)blogspot(dot)com/2010/12/how-to-embroider-stretchy-fabrics(dot)html . After I'm done stitching I cut away most of the excess stabilizer and then toss it in the wash. I find that the brand I use (Sulky) softens up nicely and isn't at all itchy to wear. No need to add anything to the inside. :-)
