Your teaching methodology is brilliant. I love your cat getting in on your video who is quiet beautiful by the way. You have a beautiful voice that makes me feel all fluffy inside. Thank you for your video ❤️
I love chain stitch. One of the most versatile stitches ever. It can be used to outline, to fill, for script. It's so much more than just lazy daisies. Just look at what Chinese embroiderers achieve with must chain stitch and silk.. Thanks Sarah, for the reminder that your imagination is the only limit
If I had thought about stitching a fuschia, I would have imagined it to be much more difficult than your simple but lovely way. Thanks for the sweet flowers, Sarah!
That's amazing that one can embroider five totally different flowers with the same stitches. Ginger Cat better be careful or might find a flower embroidered on him!
My Belgian grandmother taught me crewel embroidery when I was 7. I was really good at it for many years until life got in the way. I’ve started a sampler and finding your videos has brought me so much joy. Thank you for your expertise. I’m relearning embroidery again thanks to you.
They were so effective, i love how just by changing the amount of strands or length of stitch such different looks are achieved. Glad to see you decided to carry on stitching, even when Ginger cat made an appearance x
I would love a video on what you would consider the stages of growth - what is “beginner” vs what you would look at and see as “advanced” skill and even “elite” professional!
Brilliant Sarah, thank you. I think I may have to spend the whole weekend pithering with my threads and fabric… purely for experimental purposes, of course! 🤣 all the best! X
Good morning Sarah lovely work. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you. Thank you for sharing your talent and your time ❤️🌹 hope you are well take care
I'm learning SO MUCH by watching your wonderful videos Sarah! Thank you so very much for making them! I don't have an immune system, rather like the boy in the plastic bubble, so I'm pretty much homebound all the time, not just because of Covid. You have no idea what your videos mean to a person like me! I have questions about beeswax thread conditioning. Should you only do the ends of the thread, or the whole strand of embroidery thread? Would you use the beeswax on goldwork thread? Would you use it on embroidery yarns?
Thank you for letting me know what they mean to you, it makes all the planning and editing worth while BohemianGarnet. Regarding beeswax, I use beeswax mainly for goldwork on the sewing thread as the threads and metals can be sharp but it's also great for the end of the thread if you are struggling to thread the needle. I wouldn't normally use it on embroidery threads, it changes the feel of the thread. Hope this helps!
Thank you…practice, practice, practice…. I only have one color at the moment but I can see you would want contrast and many colors to create with….I love the thread that you’re using….oooo I like texture too! The fabric and thread seems to be forgiving if you make mistakes…but you could correct right away ☝🏽let me perfect that French knot! It’s so cute! Tension is the key word 🙏🏽🙋🏻♀️👍🏽Mia
Hello, Sarah! I don't think I've commented before even though I've been looking at your videos for a couple of years now. It's just that I always watched you on my TV and I don't get the option to type anything there. I only got into embroidery since I saw your videos. However, I've been cross stitching. I was pretty intimidated🤫 to start embroidery at first, but, now I'm starting my second project. You are a lovely lady and I enjoy and appreciate every one of your videos that I've seen. Cheers to your husband as well. He does a wonderful job behind the camera📷👍. Also, Ginger Cat😻 is gorgeous. I believe you have more than one cat. Hugs and kisses to them. I'm an animal lover 🥰. Keep your videos coming. 🎥
You make it look so easy Sarah, I have after a few goes got a daisy that looks fairly uniform but I struggled. I could feel my late mother looking over my shoulder saying, You look like a cow handling a musket! I see if I want to get into this more, I will be in your shop for a table clamp. Thank you for all your lovely videos.
This is great! These stitches I learned when I got my first kit 10 yrs old - a long long time ago...lol Thanks so much for all your advise & instruction. Very enjoyable. By the way - hello from Canada again.
I wanted to learn hand embroidery as a potential alternative to going and getting a bookbinding project machine embroidered at a shop that offers that service as it tends to be pretty pricey. This is the first channel I came across and I never felt the need to check out any others because I have been learning so much here. You are an excellent teacher!
Querida shara. Saludos. Me gustaría un video sobre las posiciones , silla para una mejor postura y la ergonomicidad del cuerpo para evitar contracturas. Que haces tu???
I’m not a real beginner at “regular “ embroidery, but your tips have really improved my stitches. At the moment I am trying to learn to do the painting with a needle. I’ve started trying on a pattern that includes some pretty large leaves. I’m having trouble deciding how to shade them. Can I do the first half of the leaf then the second half keeping the center (between the two halves) of both sides dark colored? Then stitch center veins to finish. Not sure I explained it well enough for you to understand my question, but I had to try. Thank you for your instructions! I enjoy them so much, and your calm manner and voice make it so relaxing.
I'm going to do a video on long and short problem solving Aimee. If you would like to send me a picture you are welcome and then I can see what sort of problems people are having (you can remain annonymous!). You can email me a picture to sarahhomfray@blueyonder.co.uk and I will try and help
@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery Thank you. I might, if you think it would help, use some color pencils to color in on the fabric what I'd like to do with the stitching. Is the new video a long term plan or in the works for some time soon? I'll try to get a photo in the email soon. Thank you for your kind help.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have a very thin top with embroidery which is kind of falling apart (too thin) below the embroidery. I’ve thought about covering the thinning bits with more embroidery to cover the little holes and fading colour. Would I stabilize with an iron on interfacing first? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I'm just trying this as one of my first practice goes. How do you get your threads to behave for you? Mine keep twisting, no matter how often I let the needle dangle and spin out :-|

That sewing machine has to be the most gorgeous thing I've seen all month.. *drools*
As usual Ginger cat is an added bonus.

Brilliant! Sarah, I really like the way you tell us how to avoid problems before we encounter them - very helpful. ❤️
That's learnt the hard way Danise (by encountering them!)
@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery I really appreciate learning from other people’s encounters! It helps lessen my own encounters! 😊
Yes, Sarah is such a good teacher. Xx 💕💕
If I had thought about stitching a fuschia, I would have imagined it to be much more difficult than your simple but lovely way. Thanks for the sweet flowers, Sarah!
You can probably easily make it much more difficult Kay!
That's amazing that one can embroider five totally different flowers with the same stitches. Ginger Cat better be careful or might find a flower embroidered on him!
He did come back home from a walk once with gold stars stuck to him, I think he found some children to play with!!
So amazing, the things you can do with a needle and thread. Absolutely beautiful 🌹

Glad you are enjoying Wait What and have discovered your love for embroidery again!
They were so effective, i love how just by changing the amount of strands or length of stitch such different looks are achieved. Glad to see you decided to carry on stitching, even when Ginger cat made an appearance x
If you show him attention then nothing will get done Jane!
Thank you Sarah.
I enjoyed this video very much! I hope you do more similar ones! 😃😃😃
Really enjoyed and so helpful. Thank you yet again.
Love your videos!
I would love a video on what you would consider the stages of growth - what is “beginner” vs what you would look at and see as “advanced” skill and even “elite” professional!
This was quite interesting. How nice to learn how to make so many different flowers with just a few stitches. I've got to explore these.
I have started to do embroidery just recently. I really ❤️ LOVE these tutorials. You are an excellent teacher. 👏
Beautiful stitching. Love how versatile just stitches can be. ❤️
Thank you for everything
Brilliant Sarah, thank you. I think I may have to spend the whole weekend pithering with my threads and fabric… purely for experimental purposes, of course! 🤣 all the best! X
Sounds like a great way to spend a weekend Suzi, pithering away!
Good morning Sarah lovely work. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you. Thank you for sharing your talent and your time ❤️🌹 hope you are well take care
Thank you Brenda
Thank you for all the many, many things I've learned from your videos!
Lavender has many individual flowers, I believe the appropriate term would be bud.
Yup! It’s in the mint family and has lots of little flowers on one stem.
I knew someone watching me would know, thank you!
Thanks. 🌼👍
Thanks

I really like the echinacea flower. I'm going to have to find a pattern with that flower on it.
Your instructions are so clear. Thank you very much. I just made my first daisy!!
Thanks for your help. Love you pretty cat and I also appreciate no background music.
Thank you.
Very beautiful!
amazing work!!!
the kitty is precious lol
I won’t even tell you how long this took but it was fun and I felt good about what I did thank you Sarah❣️ 😅🙏🏽🙋🏻♀️👍🏽Mia

Thank you Professor Homfray
Looks fun l’m going to give it a go, thank you for your easy to follow demonstrations.

Thank you so much for teaching me❤🙏
Really enjoyed your video and learning more stitches, you make it look so easy
Beautiful !

Glad you dont have background music. Music just makes it hard to hear the words.
Lovely!!!
Agree with the comment about no music. Thanks!

I will have a think about doing that one!
So helpful as always thank you

Yes a stabiliser would work and check out my videos on slow stitching!
♥️♥️♥️
When stitching a he stems for flowers, how do you decide on a backstitch or stem stitch or outline stitch?
How many threads do you use!
I'm just trying this as one of my first practice goes. How do you get your threads to behave for you? Mine keep twisting, no matter how often I let the needle dangle and spin out :-|
The thread will twist more on some stitches than others so perhaps try a few different stitches and see what works best for you!
Do u use different needles on different flowers and what Is a crewel needle
I would love to know what brand of embroidery thread do you recommend and why?
Sarah, hi where did you get your table frame from that you are using in this video plus what is the name of tbe frame please, thank you
Why are you starting with your knots on top not on bottom ?
Ppppp
What's the material your using to demo the flowers please.❤❤❤❤❤
