It’s a sunny Wednesday morning here in England and I’ve watched your video while having breakfast. I must give this slow stitching a try, I have a tremor so this project will be ideal for me as there is no exactness to it. Also I must comment on your soothing relaxing voice, love your handiwork. Thank you.
@@jenniferwhitfield4657 Thank you! I’m glad you’re giving slow stitching a try! I find thinner cottons and a soft batting to cause the least strain on my fingers and hands. You’re right, there is no exactness to it and you can go at your own pace. Enjoy!😊🧵🪡
This was so perfect for me! I struggle with creativity, stitching evenly and lack of materials and funds. Which I find interferes with the meditave aspect of slow stitching. So thank you so much.
I have come back today Saturday 21st September 2024 to say I have finished my first block.measures around 5 inches. I now have started my second one. it is almost double in size. you may think I am delusional but after putting a few stitches on,it seems the needle and thread tell you where it wants to go. maybe my imagination. thank you again.I spent several hours today on it. boy,does it use thread!
I've been doing slow stitching for a little while and often think of "teaching" it locally. These little squares are just the thing for getting people started and seeing if they like slow stitching. Thank you!'
Jo this is a game changer🎉 I'm not sure if I'm the only one? But for me seed stitching takes constant concentration making sure that every stitch is a different direction, taking one stitch at a time. Your method is fantastic, less thought and just more of that meditative feeling, knowing it will work out regardless, its almost like neurographic stitching (I would love to see you do a video on that). I love seed stitching, but it can be a bit laborious at times, which means I don't do it as often as I want. Thank-you so much for sharing this new technique it is now my go to when I want to make something with seed stitch, it will also be great for those of us who dont have the best eyesight at times. Also loved seeing your little furry stitch buddy, he is adorable. Big hugs from down under x😊
@@wennwenn1178 Thank you! This relaxed approach gives great results even when stitch direction and stitch lengths vary. Like you said very meditative! Happy Stitching 🐾😊🧵🪡
Uuuaauuuu!!!lo encontré súper relajante, me encantó ❤y ya estoy agregando otro trabajo ,para cuándo me siento a descansar ,porque tengo que tener mis manos en movimiento, por la poliatritis que tengo,así que mil gracias por estar 😊🤗
I really like your random line 'seed stitch' method! So good for covering in a larger area. It's genius... I'm sure I'll find a way of using it in something... Thank you. All your squares looked lovely.
Aria is BEAUTIFUL 🐾💜 You know how to FILL a short video with useful information. Much appreciated 🤓 This is exactly what I’m looking to do. Thank you kindly 🌼
So simple and quite meditative 😘 I am also a craft person with multiple interests...... Macrame, Embroidery, gift wrapping, reading.......😊 Your talent speaks dear ❤ Keep growing 💗💗
@@inspiredbypinkreneelovesba5269 Great idea. I don’t use sashiko patterns but they are a beautiful way to create a symmetrical repeating pattern and they would look great on squares like this. 😊🧵🪡
Really beautiful! I love having a project that is more freeform and doesn’t require focusing on a pattern. A couple questions: - Why use pearl cotton? Is it a certain effect you’re after? Would the same result come from machine sewing thread or a strand of embroidery floss? - how do you pick what kind of needle you use? I tend to choose needles at random 😂 - Are you stitching through the batting as well? Or only on the top layer PS. Your dog is so cute
@@zoekim1868 Thanks! I chose pearl cotton for the thickness and twist. If you check out my other videos you’ll see I usually use 2 strands of the 6 stranded embroidery floss. For that I use embroidery needles or milliners needles. I talk about that in this video at about the 2 minute mark ruclips.net/video/hTznSbPTELM/видео.html And yes I stitch all the way through the batting. 😊🧵🪡
Both!😀🧵🪡 Here’s a video about scrolls as a stitched journal or diary ruclips.net/video/MN87EQ4ULEo/видео.html Stitched pieces can also be transformed into bags or pouches. A drawstring pouch: ruclips.net/video/p90MSlpKHFc/видео.html Bag; ruclips.net/video/yBigDPgPmm4/видео.html Or a needle case, pincushion or scissors case: ruclips.net/p/PLQ5A2G3zAe-SMyYJBRec1UzQFFZw_XLWD Or a work of art: ruclips.net/video/3fCyIpyAxt0/видео.html
@@peaceofpi-studio Thanks so much for the quick response. I love the vibe of your RUclips channel. It is very chill and I find it very soothing 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. Watching from Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦
@@thisisme64T Yes you could use cotton fabric, flannel or quilt batting (wadding). As long as it is easy to stitch through and feels nice in your hand it should work. 😊🧵🪡
@@inspiredbypinkreneelovesba5269 That would work well with this approach! If I were to use it as a cleaning cloth I think I would use another layer of fabric as a backing instead of felt batting. 😊🧵🪡
Needles can be confusing! For pearl cotton size 8 I use a chenille needle #24. If you check out my other videos you’ll see I usually use 2 strands of the 6 stranded embroidery floss. For that I use embroidery needles or milliners needles. I talk about that in this video at about the 2 minute mark ruclips.net/video/hTznSbPTELM/видео.html
Ah yes thus is what 4 ywar old kids did to learn to sew back in the day and darn and aufh. I do think you could spend that time feeding the homeless if you are an adult whos not disabled. Or senile.

very nice, you can use this type of stitching to prolong the life of simple washing clothes, its Japanese called Sashiko

Do you use the small pieces for anything or do you just use the stitching for peace and calm
Both!😀🧵🪡 Here’s a video about scrolls as a stitched journal or diary ruclips.net/video/MN87EQ4ULEo/видео.html

which stitch are you using to join? is it a blanket stitch?
@@bunzerboy It’s a whip stitch😊
Can you use fabric with a pattern if you don’t have any solid fabric? Thanks 😊
@@shantiohm5847 Yes patterned fabric will work too!😊🧵🪡

Would it be feasible to use something other than felt for the backing? Felt costs a fortune in Belgium.
@@thisisme64T Yes you could use cotton fabric, flannel or quilt batting (wadding). As long as it is easy to stitch through and feels nice in your hand it should work. 😊🧵🪡
@@peaceofpi-studio thank you!
the new clothes are called zokins
@@inspiredbypinkreneelovesba5269 That would work well with this approach! If I were to use it as a cleaning cloth I think I would use another layer of fabric as a backing instead of felt batting. 😊🧵🪡
