- Wondering which needle you should use for a particular stitch? Can't remember whether you need to use a Milliners Needle or a Chenille Needle? And what about those specialty threads? What needles work best with them? I will answer all those questions and more!
An Easy Rule to remember: Wrap Stitches = Milliners, Non-wrap = Chenille

After graduating from Parsons School of Design, I began my career in fashion design and freelanced both in New York City, as well as London. I designed hand knits for Elle Magazine and was the editor of the Hand Knit Page before hand knits fell out of fashion in the early 1990's and the page was discontinued. In 2008 I launched my jewelry design business, designing fine jewelry in 18 & 20 Kt Gold with gemstones that I hand select for each piece. Several awards and numerous write ups & interviews in all kinds of magazines and online zines, I rediscovered hand stitching and my life took another turn. I have been designing in some form since I sold my first felt embroidered xmas tree ornaments to a small shop in Northern California when I was 16 years old, and have never looked back. And while I've had detours along the way: had two children, worked at an advertising agency, got into acting in my early 20's, published some articles for various magazines and wrote for the Huffington Post for a few years, I have always come back to designing. It is my first love and remains so to this day.

Very helpful. I love your idea for a needle "roll" instead of a needle "book." I really appreciate all the sources you've provided for the needles and threads. Thank you. I've subscribed. Now I need to go back and watch everything!
Ha! You’ve got your work cut out for you!! ❤️😂❤️
Thank you for this video and the clear and detailed explaination of needles. As a beginner this helped me a lot with the examples you shown when talking about what the different needles are good for.
I’m so glad!
I found this such an informative video. Thank you for clearly explaining which needle to use with which thread and why, which is something I've struggled with for a while. I'm sure it's a video I'll keep referring back to. Your colourful varied stitching on the beautiful linen and wool fabrics is so inspiring!
Oh I’m so happy to hear. Thank you.
so happy to find your videos! Being left handed shouldn’t be a punishment! This is life changing for my beautiful mostly unused supplies!
Oh that makes me so happy to hear!! ❤️💕❤️
Using beautiful quality threads makes all the difference. Very informative video. Thank you..
Yes, I agree. Thx Heidi! ❤️
I watched this 3 times ,I kept getting interrupted with the washing machine flowing all over the floor .
I never tire of hearing about needkes and threads, thankyou Ariane x
❤️💕❤️
Hi there Ariane! I am new to your channel and to slow stitching, so I see I have so much to learn from you! Thank you for this video and the information. Your stitching is really beautiful! I have subscribed to your channel now and look forward to watching & learning from your videos. TFS
Happy Stitching! Samantha
Hi Samantha! Welcome. Thx so much for reaching out to me. I’m really happy you’re here ❤️
Your work is amazing!
Thank you so much Mary!
This is a fantastic video! So fun to see the needle rolls, how the needles are explained & the threads you can use with them! Also, many stitches shown too! Thanks for sharing your information! 💕
Thank you Linda. I’m so glad you think so. ❤️
Thank you for this video. Such good information for someone like me who is new to hand stitching. I so much enjoy all your videos. Beautiful work.
Hi Barbara, I'm so glad! Thank you. ❤️
Thank you so much for this clear explanation of needle sizes and thread weights. It’s exactly what I needed to plan purchases and have a better understanding of decorative embroidery. I was previously confused about 3/9 versus 3 milliners needles. Brava!
The Milliners numbering system is bizarre and makes no sense! When you see a pack that says 3/9 you just know that 3 is going to be much smaller than the #3 Milliners. I do find that I can often use one of the 3/9 milliners to thread an 8 wt thread. ❤️
Thank you
❤️
Great info! Love all your pretty stitches. Your work is simply stunning. Thank You! 💕🧵🪡
Thank you so much Pam. ❤️💕❤️

Hi from Watkins glen new york
Hi Pamela! ❤️
Double awesome!
Thx so much Wendy! ❤️
I think about the only needles I have to buy is those # 15 milliners with the big eye. I have lots of needles and probably have many of these only I didn't know what they were called. I even have the doll needle because I made a Waldorf doll. lol My big question is what did you make your labels out of? lol The other question I have is how was the chenille meant to be used originally? I have some coming in my order and I thought I would just couch it.
Oh well...I will not be buying that lovely #15. $3.50 for the needles $28.00 for shipping! I will make do with one of my darners.
@@susanhamilton1822 that’s a smart alternative!
Yes couching, but I’ve shown a few other things one can do with it as well. Such as bullion knots. They’re lovely and fuzzy, particularly nice to make the body of a bumble bee!
@@ArianeZurcher212 I did think of caterpillar and forgot the beloved Bee. tsk tsk
Yes, I was wondering about the labels, too!
I have been buying some new threads, which are coming in hanks. Are you hand wrapping your threads on those different cardboard bobbins? And where do you get them, please.
I think you need a video on thread storage!
@@cathylskinner7393 Haha! I did do a couple videos of my work space, but not specifically about thread storage. That's a good idea! ❤️
Hi Cathy, yes, I wrap each skein onto a thread winder/bobbin. My favorite are these: amzn.to/38Kgjep They are relatively cheap and the easiest to wind. My second favorite are these: amzn.to/3eWKaEH They are best for shorter skeins and size 8 and 5 wt threads, like House of Embroidery. I put the smaller white bobbins in these: amzn.to/2OA0XCo and the cardboard bobbins in these: amzn.to/38M54SN ❤️
Thank you for your help. Your videos are the best.
@@cathylskinner7393 Aw.. thanx so much Cathy.
