  • Satin stitch may be the most loved and most hated embroidery stitch. Give it some practice and see if you can make it work for you! Should you use one strand of floss? All 6 strands? How about padded satin stitch?

    Thank you for mentioning about what the back looks like when doing the satin stitch. It seems so wasteful but apparently I’m doing it right. 😅

    Years ago I did a lot of embroidery and learned from books. I am back embroidering but I really enjoyed watching the video and has really helped since I had forgotten so many things.

    Hi
    I am a total novice in embroidery and don't do it often. I have found your videos make it much more enjoyable though, as I'm starting to widen out the number of actual stitches I include. Thank you.

    Someone in my cross-stitch group just mentioned satin stitches to me, so I came to look it up.
    I think I may have clicked the wrong video, but I got into cross-stitch because I was interested in embroidery and didnt know the difference, so I'm happy to watch an embroidery video.
    But I think I may have just fell in love with your voice, so please forgive me if my interests aren't entirely craft related, but I'm going to let some of your videos play while I do my cross-stitch.
    I may even end up getting an embroidery kit after a few lol x

    This was a wonderful video and you are a great teacher! I could listen to you talk about embroidery all day.
    In the video though you said that the shorter the stitch the better it will look, could you show us how to do a satin stitch with a shorter stitching method? I'm really trying to get a polished almost manufactured look but every time I do a satin stitch it just doesnt look polished at all.

    Hi! Thanks for this. When it comes to the stitch, do you take turns stitching above the center stitch and then below, like alternating? Or do you just do what you feel? I’m super new and self taught so I’m grateful for your channel!

    • @martothele4905
      @martothele4905 4 года назад

      I think it may be because of what tightens the hoop? The thread sometimes gets stuck onto it, whichcan be really annoying! But this is just a prediction.

    • @shellyrichards7455
      @shellyrichards7455 3 года назад +2

      I'll do it this way sometimes if I'm going to be teaching an image off a lightboard or computer screen. The fabric lays directly on the screen without the hoop in the way

    I like the way you talk, embroidery is fun! One question, if I want to outline my satin st , shuld I do it first or after, or both are fine? I really can't get a smooth line by satin st, it's too frustrating for me :P

    • @JessicaLongEmbroidery
      @JessicaLongEmbroidery  6 лет назад +3

      You mean outline it to "hide" your satin stitch edges? Either way works but I find after easier!

    Silly question but i’m a beginner and want to start a new project, but can you use satin stitches to fill a big space or does it have to be small?

    • @KristulSommerTrinnah
      @KristulSommerTrinnah 5 лет назад +2

      Generally you want to keep your satin stitches under 1 inch (3cm) because the longer they are, the more they shift. Too long and they'll loosen over time and go all wonky.

    • @xXeflXx
      @xXeflXx 5 лет назад

      I imagine, very novice here so I'm probably wrong but, you either go down the pull your thread under and back through so it looks seem less, or you just sart on the bottom of the otherside and work in a circle. I'm curious to the answer to this as well.
