I've been embroidering for a long time but only just discovered Sarah - she's a very good teacher - close-ups show detail and her verbal explanations are clear and concise. I'm hooked!

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Thank you very much Anne!

[@susanvanvleck3957]

This is my third time watching the Holly Blue butterfly video. I'm getting up the nerve to do one of my own for the center of my thread stitch icon journal. And I just like hearing your calming voice and the music is rather nice to listen to while stitching

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Check out my recent video on Sampling Susan to help you get started!

[@lindamcgraw9011]

You are a wonderful teacher and your work is beautiful. Thank you! I have much to learn.

[@karinetoemazian-kazarian1076]

Thanks 🙏 🥰💐

[@nursemacelik5653]

ı should've find your chanel sooner.. 🖤 thank you all your videos.. they really helped me a lot. 🌸

[@annieingram8323]

I would love a video on what makes a project stumpwork and the history of it. Thank you for the tutorial!

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Stumpwork is coming this year!

[@annieingram8323]

@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery That's fantastic, I've been trying to figure out which parts of designs to make in detached pieces and which to thread paint. It is not as easy as I thought it be.

[@veronicaevans9438]

Lovely shading I like the pansy shading set might do that one Thank you lovely tutorial xx

[@lisajarvis3820]

Never realised how much work went into making just one section of embroidery before ~ I always thought it was just straight forward stitching ~ it’s so not ~ and very very beautiful and interesting!!

[@kellybellstitches3383]

I've always been fascinated by Stumpwork and truly enjoyed this - looking forward to part 2. Thank you.

[@Kaganda21Vlog]

beautiful

[@elainegothard]

Lovely work

[@katherton1585]

Super thanks, the butterflies would look great hung from a mobile for a bedroom ceiling.

[@Milovaig]

Great demo of this stitch - which I have a big problem with. Looking forward to Part 2 - Thankyou!

[@kareemakhashab7422]

wonderful work, it's amazing technique .. Waiting for the second part

[@danielepouzaud4241]

Super pour les différentes techniques...😊

[@barbaranneboyer7997]

lovely work and interesting to watch, (great nails too lol) thank you for posting this

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

I think I will make nail painting videos instead Barbaranne, they get so many comments! :)

[@sandrabenesch2816]

Hello, I just wanted to say how much I love your work and how beautiful everything you make turns out. I live in USA and was wondering if you ship items from your shop ?

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Yes we ship worldwide Sandra! Just add items to your basket and select your country from the drop down list to see postage prices before you commit to buy. We are sending international orders on a tracked/signed for service only at the moment until the world has fully righted itself...

[@sandrabenesch2816]

@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery Thank you so much Sarah. it will be a few weeks before I can order a few things I see I will need , I am new to this craft even though I do cross stich and Crochet, but I have always wanted to learn how to Embroider and you have made it so beautiful to me that I have been inspired by you and I want to thank you.

[@shenazminwalla3609]

Thank you ma'am for your beautiful videos ,a question please,what can we use instead of felt .

[@MACDOT8]

What a beautiful butterfly, and your video makes it look achievable for the average stitcher so I ordered the kit after the first few minutes of watching! Will you be making kits for the other butterflies that are shown at the start of the video? Every kit I’ve made of yours has such clear instructions and generous materials. I haven had a failure yet!

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Thank you so much Tracy! I would like to do the other butterflies so watch this space :) x

[@LightchaserAV]

I would be happy even if only a digital download were available.

[@alimac5826]

Such a lovely video! I am just getting started with stump work embroidery and this was super helpful as a first project I can do! Is the stencil of the butterfly made of paper or fabric?

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

It's a type of vilene Ali. You can get a kit with all the materials you need and a full set of colour instructions from the website here:

[@LightchaserAV]

I would love to get this kit but I see it is no longer available. I do hope it comes back and maybe the other butterflies in the video as well?

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

These are in stock on our website here:

[@9159bsbs]

This is so beautiful! Is the color worked up differently than the pansy because it's a butterfly or just a different technique?

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Same technique Bee; adjust the method to suit the subject!

[@maxwellhunter3264]

Is the initial butterfly outline, some sort of felt or other fabric? Thank you so much lovely informative video!

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

It's a thick vilene Maxwell

[@zdravkaljumovic5680]

Beautiful butterflies! What are you using as a base for tying a butterfly, some paper or fabric?

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

I've stitched the butterfly onto pelmet vilene to stiffen it

[@zdravkaljumovic5680]

Sarah Homfray Embroidery thanks infinitely

[@traceyrandell2272]

Beautiful Butterfly. What was that white corded stuff you used after you stitched the butterfly down??

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

It's paper covered wire Tracey

[@erinmccarthy9403]

Sara, can you replace organza with tulle? For use in stump work?

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

The holes in the tule might be a bit big Erin? But try a piece and see!

[@nupurpatra3353]

Hi. What is the wire used for stumpwork? Is it available online on amazon

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Its paper covered wire and you can buy it from my shop here in different sizes and finishes (white and gold):
