    I love that you show us how to do the stitch! I find it much easier to see it being done than trying to figure it out from a diagram. Thank You!

    For me, I like watching you stitch longer, because I’m trying to see and understand the stitch and rhythm of the stitch.
    I so enjoy your stories. Thank you for sharing your time and talents!!❤

    I have a needle story, as well. I ran a big needle into my toe. The point of the needle was stuck in the carpet so I actually ran the eye into the side of my big toe. I pulled it out, no problem. That is, there was no problem until I started feeling ill and my toe became very sore. The eye of the needle had actually split in two and half of the eye had remained in my toe and I had to have an orthopedic surgeon take me to the operating room to remove it!! I no longer have that carpet in my sewing room!

    Good morning, I just came across your videos and love your style. I’ve bought your book on kindle as the paperback wasn’t available, but it seems to work seamlessly on the kindle (which some project books don’t) so I’m over the moon. I’ve come to stitching late in life, but am thoroughly enjoying the artistic side of it. I know my maternal grandmother was gifted at sewing and in researching needles and trying out a few I came to the same conclusions about my favourite needles as you do in your book. If I can use a milliners needle I will, it feels so natural to me. I can’t wait to read and try more from your book and watching and listening in your video is super helpful. Thank you.

    Thank you Jennifer as always for your video. I love sitting with you in your beautiful garden and enjoying a stitch in. Thank you for the tip on the wheat stitch, it helps so much to see some stitches demonstrated rather than a diagram. I have seen many a needle injury in A and E that obviously are on the more severe side so I am with you on the pin cushion front. Who knew stitching could be a dangerous pastime😂😂 I hope the issue with the book are soon resolved for the folks in South Africa, it must be so frustrating,I know waiting for the UK launch till the end of July was bad enough. Pre order was definitely the way to go. See you at your table the next time.

    Great idea to use patchwork pattern outlines to follow with embroidery,makes a series of frames. You could tack the piece onto a larger piece of muslin fabric and /or cut out the fabric behind where you are stitching. It's called floating. I tack small pieces on for use in a hoop. There is an embroiders tape too I think but tacking holds it. My Mom used to say finished and kla so happy memory x

    Hi Jennifer. "Goeie genade, wat 'n lekker verrassing" when one of your TH-cam videos crossed my TH-cam feed. At the moment I live in Kloof, KZN, moved here from Gauteng just over a year ago. I have been embroidering since I was 10 years old hahahaha I am turning 76 soon, very soon 🤭🤭. but as far as I am concerned I am sweet 16 and never been kissed 😂😂. I am such a multi crafter . . . there are never enough hours in a day for everything I create. I intend to live until I am 124 😂😂, hopefully that enough time. I spent about 3 years creating journals but once embroidery is in your blood it keeps drawing you in. I was researching crazy patchwork embroidery when you appeared. Thanks for such a lovely channel. ❣❣❣
