A quick hint for wayward wire tails. I use a small piece of low-tack tape to tape the very ends of the wires down to the fabric. That way they don't catch my thread every time I try to make a stitch. :)
First time I have seen your videos or even considered stump work. It's just beautiful! Can you tell me what you are using to clamp your hoop so that you can use both hands? TIA
I started freaking out when you were starting the close cutting but these are so beautiful and really open up some awesome possibilities. Maybe a long term project though, that's a lot of really close work. I've been a long time watcher, I did a double hoop as like my third project because you made it seem so accessible. Lovely, informative video (and very relaxing!) as always.
Thank you for the great tutorial and sharing your knowledge. I'm new to 3D embroidery but I'm going to try using some fabric paint (no heat fix) after couching the wire. I have a feeling it could work to hide those bits after cutting out. I guess we'll see 😊
Have you done a video on creating this head image would love to learn this please. Just found your channel after searching stumpwork. I’m in the UK and my maiden name was Long lol
I am new to stump work and have found this tutorial so very helpful, thankyou. May I ask what make are your scissors please want to invest in new scissors
I have found you can just baste the wire firmly with even regular weight threads, fill, cut out leaving a *tiny* bit more than normal and then basically wrap the wire with embroidery thread once it's already cut out, if that makes sense? Sorry I'm totally self taught so I'm not sure all the proper names for things, but that has worked for me. Or just using organza for stuff even if it doesn't require the sheerness haha
This comment might be a bit lengthy. I get excited about something and I don't shut up. Seriously. Anywho, I've watched your video at least 2, maybe 3 or 4. I'm finally brave/confident enough to tackle a stump work butterfly. I've tried to watch other videos and I've come back to this one because it's there only one that seems to make sense. Thank you so much
Jessica, I'm so glad I found your video. I've a poppy I want to do, but I've been hesitant to start -okay, afraid! But, seeing your steps you've made it eem doable. Thank you!
Thank you for your wonderful tutorial on slips. I’ve been embroidering since I was a teenager, and I’ve never tried stump work. I find it so beautiful and very interesting. You explain the steps well!!! New subbie!!!
Thank you! I have a great photo of my dog sticking his head through the curtains and I want to make a 3d embroidery copy of it - this has really helped. And you have a lovely voice, too! I could totally imagine you’d be very calming in an embroidery emergency lol
Jessica, you mentioned that pliers were useful for pulling wires and needles through fabric: I've tried all sorts of hand tools and found they didn't grip the needle as well as I wanted, and they sometimes caused gouges (can't spell) on the needle, which meant it wouldn't pull smoothly through fabrics after that. I bought these, from Amazon, and they're brilliant! They really grab the needle, they also work on jars and bottles, and I am so glad I bought them. I bet you'll find them on Amazon USA too. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07L3SDD5N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Its quicker and easier just to interweave the wire seperately then stitch it on. No need for fabric. If you want it puffed add a bit of fabric underneath when you stitch it to the main piece. Interweave like ''figur 8'' until nicely packed. No worries about stitch direction that way. Do a straight stitch around the edge later if you need the stitched well locked in. Love Q-PID
I would have thought for sure that the buttonhole around the wire would mostly be done after the fabrics been cut out to hide the edge of the fabric. In my mind you go through and tack it down quite a few places but the last step would be finishing it off at the edges after cutting
This is my first video of yours I listened to. I look forward to checking out your other videos. I hope this finds you enjoying the journey of learning more.
