My grandmother always tried to teach me embroidery when I was younger , but I couldn’t get the hang of it. She passed away 2 weeks ago and left bags full of unfinished pieces, so now I’m trying to finish them for her. Thank you for the video!
Aw, I love that! I have some unfinished pieces from my mother, who passed away several years ago, and getting to work on something she put so much time and love into really connects me to her. I hope you have fond memories of your grandmother while taking care of her beautiful handiworks!
I would love to know how your progress is on this :) such a sweet idea and I hope even if you only look at them it still brings you closer to her when you see them
As a beginner in embroidery that learned how to embroider from short pinterest videos and a few youtube videos, I'm so glad you made this video for everyone to learn from, it has clear visual instructions that makes it look much easier to do the stitches. Looking forward to see more of your videos!
@@anujaamale1417 I'm also no expert but I looked it up a year ago when I had time to try it out and apparently cotton is the go to (but i guess (cotton)linen may be an option?)
This is the perfect video to fall asleep to. Soothing music, no talking... I will say you're vert skilled with your sewing, at least from what I saw while I was awake
This has to be the best video explaining the long and short stitch out there, everyone else's technique just seems so arbitrary and that's why it intimidates begginers. Thank you so much, I feel like I can take over the world right now with the power you've given me.
Thank you for actually doing this in real time instead of zipping through it.It is nice when a tutorial actually shows you what to do. Bonus...no obnoxious music.
This has to be one of the most relaxing videos I've ever watched on TH-cam. Came to learn embroidery stitches, stayed to lower my blood pressure. I was in a trance! 😅
The thread saver stitch seems like it _should_ be considered magic, I was interested to see what the technique was and now I’m just impressed that someone had the idea to make that a technique and it does certainly save on the thread for sure!
@@vegan.3176 me too! I literally came to the comments to see if anyone discussed this thread saver technique. I wish the video didn't edit out any of that process to help with understanding exactly how to do it
The proper stitch always goes top to bottom, so you're also doing a full stitch on the back each time. The saver goes top to bottom then bottom to top, making just a short little stitch on the back. You can't stitch as closely this way, so you then need to go back and fill in the gaps, also using top to bottom, bottom to top.
I had no idea there were so many different types of fill stitches in embroidery. This video is a great resource for anyone looking to expand their knowledge and techniques.
Thank you for posting this! It has been so helpful. About 40 years ago I started a Bucilla kit # 49128/ Oriental Cranes. I couldn't figure out how to do the long/short stitch for the feathers, so I put it away. Now, I can complete it. Better late than never :-) Blessings and Gratitude
I've never been particularly interested in embroidery myself, but this came up in my recommendations and I think I might have to buy some embroidery thread now...
The crows foot seems like a very cool way to break up the monotony of a background and make smaller goals, as well as having some very cool tessellating triangles in the background
Yo I’ve just been making up my own random stitches for months now. Didn’t know there was actual techniques that….existed 👁ه👁 I gotta try some of this now, it’s beautiful
Now I want to completely redo my current project thats like 99% done with the brick stitch you showed! Wish I knew about that one sooner, it looks so cool
I'm so glad there's a side-by-side comparison between a proper and a thread-saving satin stitch because now, it clearly shows how much sturdier and cleaner a proper satin stitch appears.
BRILLIANT VIDEO! I LEARNED SO MUCH and i have been doing embroidery for decades! i much prefer this, to endless chatter which just distracts from the actual process. i actually think i may watch future embroidery videos with the sound off! thank you! :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! If you want to stick with the no VoiceOver/peaceful music style, check out all my embroidery meditation videos - I put them out before each new group of tutorials, and they just feature all of the stitches done slowly with no talking!
This seems so cool! My grandmother got me a lot of embroidery thread but I've only used it to make bracelets so far, still have so much. Thanks for making these videos!
Beautiful! When I was seven years old, my grandma sat me down and taught me how to hand sew fabric yo-yos, and then she taught me how to hand embroider, making a candle wicking stitch, which are basically tiny little knots
Yes! Crow's foot is such a specific stitch, and it always gives me so many ideas of awesome geometric patterns that could be done with it. Go for it! This sampler is available in my Etsy shop if you would like to give it a try: www.etsy.com/listing/870410522/pdf-pattern-embroidery-modular-sampler?ref=shop_home_feat_4
I have been looking for a guide for a while now so that I can surpised my husband with hand stitched designs and embroidery. I think I found my guide 💜
fantastic tutorial! thank you for taking the time to fully demonstrate every stitch, it leaves no questions or confusion (even without narration!). i will definitely be watching more of your videos to learn more techniques :)
Fantastic! Thank you for this - I've been crocheting lately, partly because I was bored with cross stitch, but these are making me feel like this blanket could do with some embroidered decorations!
While looking for machine embroidery videos, I stumbled across this one. I have to say this is the video I had no idea I needed. Very relaxing and instructional. Thank you for sharing.
The blend and brick patterns 🥰 I noticed that you stitched the letters of the techniques… each alphabet on it own. Appreciate the details and heart put into this. 💚 from Malaysia 🇲🇾
Amazing 😍 it's so relaxing to watch it although it's not my cup of tea but still she does the embroidery so neatly that watching it is itself a treat❤️❤️❤️❤️
I usually watch embroidery and croquet videos to fall asleep. So far only two channels are on my favourite list😂 I really appreciate the soothing music and quietness. I have problems falling asleep and these videos are so satisfying that they lull me to sleep.
I'm so glad! I've always had trouble falling asleep myself, and I find that peaceful and relaxing videos can be helpful, so I'm always happy to contribute some more for others!
Very neat. I tried embroidery when I was a kid, but could never get into it because it seemed so pointless. Put flowers on a piece of white cloth, then do what with it? Hang it on a wall? Make a tiny throw pillow? How many of those do I need? But I've been experimenting with using embroidery to patch holes in some of my favorite shirts, and now I'm getting interested. Watching ugly little holes become happy little flowers and hearts, then deciding where to add extras to make it look intentional is kind of satisfying. And now I have some new fill techniques to try
That's awesome! And yeah, embroidery as decor certainly isn't for everyone, but at it's core, it's a sewing technique, so using it the practical way to mend or patch or even decorate clothing is definitely a worthwhile skill to learn!
How peaceful life can be.. Deeply meditative especially with the music, it almost brings tears to my eyes. I feel so blessed right now envisioning all those people for thousands of years that spend time like this and how now I can take up that threat that's running through our common history.
That's interesting that you say that about the traditiion. I follow a very old painting tradition, that I gave up what I learned with my art degree to pursue. But in picking up my needle, I feel I am connected with my two grandmas who loved to embroider. (Also my husbands granny, and we have some of her work still in use around her farmhouse.)
If I can just add to folks: for the satin stitch, the thread saver method is not NEARLY as stable as the “proper” method in my experience. Save yourself some frustration and gaps and go for the “proper” method - you’ll be glad you did. I also found that I got much neater edges with the “proper” method and since I do designs that are very bold and require cleaner lines, it is a must for me. Definitely a hard lesson learned!
Very true! The thread saver method can be helpful when you're trying not to compress your fabric too much, when you're on the last leg of a thread color, or if the section you're sewing doesn't need a lot of back stability to it, but when in doubt and when able, it's always better to go with the proper way.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I really needed to learn how to do a thread saver correctly. Also the video was straight into the point unlike a bunch of other youtubers who take decades to properly explain or is just too fast to understand. We need more Tutorial youtubers like you. Seriously i couldn't thank you enough.
Possibly the best tutorial video I've watched. You take your time and show every step, every stich. My grandma taught me some simple embroidery when I was young and this is how she did it. Making examples, I still have some of her crochet work with notes pinned to them. My grandma is Ling passed but this elegant video took me back. Thank you so much. Blessings!!
Hi! Awesome and very helpful video :) , but I have a question, what are the differences between the proper and thread saver satin stitches? Also, do you have any advice to avoid loose stitches when filling big figures (when there is a big length side to side) ? Thank you!
Thanks! To find out more about the thread saver vs proper stitches, check out my video on hoop butts here: th-cam.com/video/c9JblTcRgjI/w-d-xo.html As far as the large spaces go, I would recommend not using satin stitch to fill them. It can be tempting to go with satin stitch so you have those clean, straight lines, but don't be afraid to try out other fill stitches like brick, long and short, chain, or split stitch. Those will add some texture to the shape, but they will also keep your stitches tight and close to the fabric. If you really want to do satin stitch, make sure your fabric is pulled as tight as possible, and give each stitch an extra (gentle) tug to make sure you are leaving no slack as you go around.
What is the function of going back and forth with the thread saver satin stitch? I've always just worked it "left to right" like the proper part you did, just working very close.
So when doing satin stitch the proper way, you are putting just as much floss on the back of the fabric as on the front. This gives you a nice, sturdy stitch, but it also leaves a lot of floss unseen. If I'm running out of a certain color and want to conserve my thread, I'll do the thread saver version, when puts a lot less floss unseen on the back of the fabric, and therefore uses less floss overall!
I don't embroidery at all but wondered the same and eventually guessed that it might help stabilize it during wear to prevent bunching. Stress on any single thread in the fill will tug at several different parts of it, right? So maybe it recovers from accidents better?
Thank you so much for this video! I'm a beginner at embroidery and I had the HARDEST time filling in space without gaps or messed up lines, and the piece I'm working on requires shading so the blend technique was perfect!
Oh my God you are amazing. I just started because I thought it looked fun and cool but im just kind of going at it because I don't really know what I'm doing and I dont know where to look for guidance. Your channel is heaven sent 😍
The thread saver option will cover the same amount of area using less thread, because there is not as much left on the back of the fabric as in the normal method. Sometimes, we are scrimping to save the last bit of a certain color, so a thread-saving method of a stitch can help prolong the running out.
Thank you so much!! I have yet to pick up my needle and thread 🪡 to begin. I have been so intimidated…. You have given me the confidence to jump in! Much appreciation!! 🙏🏼
If you are using only one or two strands of embroidery floss, or if you're using a regular sewing thread instead of one meant for embroidery, it's going to be super hard to fill an area (especially a decently large one) with thread. I definitely suggest going up to 3+ strands of embroidery floss to make it way easier, then think about making each stitch almost on top of the one before it. Hope that helps!
@@gettheetothestitchery Oh Ok thanks so much, I don't have any needles specially for embroidery, so I tried using two strands but it couldn't fit in :P
May i ask how many threads are you using on the satin stitch filling ? Because whn i used a thick thread it didnt look this clean at all, especially tht im making anime characters and stuff, also every tiny mistake would be so flagrant it didnt look pretty :'((
Satin stitch will definitely look cleaner the fewer (or thinner) thread you use. This was done with three strands of embroidery floss, which is a really comfortable zone to stay in, but if you want it to be even cleaner, you can drop to 2 or even 1 strands! It will take a lot more focus and patience to make the edges perfect and fill in an area, but in the end, it will look amazing.
this is a really excellent video! even without words, your clear presentation and the time you take on the stitches helped me understand them a lot better. i used to cross stitch when i was younger and i miss having a tactile hobby like this, so i've been thinking of tackling embroidery since that's a skill i can apply to a lot of different things. thank you for uploading this!
I appreciate the fact of the letters are stitched
Thanks, I thought it was a nice touch!
I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE THATS MAKES ME RESPECT THE TIME PUT INTO THIS SO MUCH MORE
I didn’t notice till you said so. That’s very cool.
I respect your profile picture
I Love your profile picture

I’m sure ur grandma is very happy
I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you continued to learn to complete some of her pieces.

Welcome to the embroidery community, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I love to pass on what I've learned to new stitchers!
Which fabric should use to properly embroidery at learning
@@anujaamale1417 hi, im learning and i like to use the 100% cotton fabric cause its soft and easy to see through. 🤍
@@anujaamale1417 I'm also no expert but I looked it up a year ago when I had time to try it out and apparently cotton is the go to (but i guess (cotton)linen may be an option?)
Thankyou helps alot
This is the perfect video to fall asleep to. Soothing music, no talking... I will say you're vert skilled with your sewing, at least from what I saw while I was awake
Haha thank you! I love helping people get a good nap in!
I was just thinking this as my eyelids grew verrryyy heavvvvyyyy 😴
This music is actually put from a sleeping music
@@gettheetothestitchery what do you call this type of music? and from which cd is this from? thank you.
@@JinkyFlaviano look up hertz music
Those blending stitches make a really smooth transition
So true! Long and short stitch is the foundation of thread painting because of how it blends colors into each other.
This has to be the best video explaining the long and short stitch out there, everyone else's technique just seems so arbitrary and that's why it intimidates begginers. Thank you so much, I feel like I can take over the world right now with the power you've given me.
I'm so glad to hear that!
Agreed!
so great, love how you make this more accessible for people trying to get into embroidery. So important to keep these skills alive!
Thank you! There's definitely a newfound interest in this art, and I'm happy to pass along what I know.
Thank you for actually doing this in real time instead of zipping through it.It is nice when a tutorial actually shows you what to do. Bonus...no obnoxious music.
I'm so glad you like it! And yeah, obnoxious music is a no-go for me.
For a video with no words it definitely is a perfect tutorial for a beginner. Thank you!
This has to be one of the most relaxing videos I've ever watched on TH-cam. Came to learn embroidery stitches, stayed to lower my blood pressure. I was in a trance! 😅

Gracias por compartir tu arte
Thank you! I am easily discouraged when learning new skills, but I could easily follow along with you and now I feel more confident ✨
That's awesome! My goal is to make these videos nice and clear so everyone can conquer new stitches!
I love not only how you show us slowly with variations, but how this is all on a sampler for reference. Thank you!
My mom was supposed to teach me, she died when I was 14, now I'm simply trying to learn, so I can feel a little closer to her
The crows foot seems like a very cool way to break up the monotony of a background and make smaller goals, as well as having some very cool tessellating triangles in the background
Oo very true! I'm picturing a mountain range vista over a tessellated sunset... could be very cool looking!
I wonder how hard it would be to have a more complex tessellation tile as a design... hmmmm
Where is the love button? This is one of the coolest and best video for me as a beginner! Thank you thank you!

It can be tempting to go with satin stitch so you have those clean, straight lines, but don't be afraid to try out other fill stitches like brick, long and short, chain, or split stitch. Those will add some texture to the shape, but they will also keep your stitches tight and close to the fabric. If you really want to do satin stitch, make sure your fabric is pulled as tight as possible, and give each stitch an extra (gentle) tug to make sure you are leaving no slack as you go around.
I had a hard time blending color. Finally a tutorial i that i understand. Thank you thank you!!
I'm so glad you found it helpful!
What is the function of going back and forth with the thread saver satin stitch? I've always just worked it "left to right" like the proper part you did, just working very close.
So when doing satin stitch the proper way, you are putting just as much floss on the back of the fabric as on the front. This gives you a nice, sturdy stitch, but it also leaves a lot of floss unseen. If I'm running out of a certain color and want to conserve my thread, I'll do the thread saver version, when puts a lot less floss unseen on the back of the fabric, and therefore uses less floss overall!
I don't embroidery at all but wondered the same and eventually guessed that it might help stabilize it during wear to prevent bunching. Stress on any single thread in the fill will tug at several different parts of it, right? So maybe it recovers from accidents better?
I wondered the same. I wish we can see the back..
@@riezlcoveta7463 Check out my video on knots and hoop butts for a view of the back and explanation of the thread saver stitches!
exactly why i stopped watching.
This is mesmerizing. I don’t embroider necessarily, but I was looking for ways to make my amigurumi eyes cuter. Now I want to get into embroidery 😆
A pretty nice video
But.. How do I start and end?
I mean..how should I thread the thread? And how should I knot it?..
I actually have a video coming out soon that will cover all of this information! Stay tuned!
You clearly show how to do these stitches your talent shines, much appreciated. I embroidery for the calmness and this music is perfect and relaxing.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Crows Foot? No, that’s the Triforce!
Thank you so much for this video! I'm a beginner at embroidery and I had the HARDEST time filling in space without gaps or messed up lines, and the piece I'm working on requires shading so the blend technique was perfect!
I can tell this like a home made embroidery stitches and techniques poster! ❤❤Can you do a final reveal?
It is a pattern I designed on my own! You can see all the final projects on my IG account, @gettheetothestitchery!
Oh my God you are amazing. I just started because I thought it looked fun and cool but im just kind of going at it because I don't really know what I'm doing and I dont know where to look for guidance. Your channel is heaven sent 😍
Aw, you're too kind! I'm so happy to hear another stitcher joining the community - and don't worry, you'll pick it up faster than you expect!
how is the thread saver satin stitch a thread saver? what's the benefit?
The thread saver option will cover the same amount of area using less thread, because there is not as much left on the back of the fabric as in the normal method. Sometimes, we are scrimping to save the last bit of a certain color, so a thread-saving method of a stitch can help prolong the running out.
Thank you so much!! I have yet to pick up my needle and thread 🪡 to begin. I have been so intimidated…. You have given me the confidence to jump in! Much appreciation!! 🙏🏼
You've got this!
When me who has stitched one day in my life gets recommended this video.

I used to do this as a kid. I loved it. This was great.
I try to embroider, but I can never seem to be able to fill it up completely, even after this video. I suspect that my thread is too thin
If you are using only one or two strands of embroidery floss, or if you're using a regular sewing thread instead of one meant for embroidery, it's going to be super hard to fill an area (especially a decently large one) with thread. I definitely suggest going up to 3+ strands of embroidery floss to make it way easier, then think about making each stitch almost on top of the one before it. Hope that helps!
@@gettheetothestitchery Oh Ok thanks so much, I don't have any needles specially for embroidery, so I tried using two strands but it couldn't fit in :P
this is like a visual meditation....perfect
I wish there was a few vocal instructions but other than that this was a good video I’m just kinda bad at watching and following lol
Tutorials with VoiceOver are coming soon!
Im actually prefering these stuff without voiceovers😀 i never thought id prefer these but after some videos im really loving no voiceover videos!😁
This is a great reference guide for any beginner embroidery sewers!
I'm so glad you liked it!
May i ask how many threads are you using on the satin stitch filling ? Because whn i used a thick thread it didnt look this clean at all, especially tht im making anime characters and stuff, also every tiny mistake would be so flagrant it didnt look pretty :'((
Satin stitch will definitely look cleaner the fewer (or thinner) thread you use. This was done with three strands of embroidery floss, which is a really comfortable zone to stay in, but if you want it to be even cleaner, you can drop to 2 or even 1 strands! It will take a lot more focus and patience to make the edges perfect and fill in an area, but in the end, it will look amazing.
this is a really excellent video! even without words, your clear presentation and the time you take on the stitches helped me understand them a lot better. i used to cross stitch when i was younger and i miss having a tactile hobby like this, so i've been thinking of tackling embroidery since that's a skill i can apply to a lot of different things. thank you for uploading this!
Glad it was helpful! Best of luck diving into embroidery - it's a wonderful world of versatility for sure!
