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.

I enjoyed learning this stitch, it's so simple but lovely results. Thanks for being an awesome teacher!
Such a lovely comment! Thank you, I’m so glad you think so.
Ok I have to
Tell you I could never do this stitch because I did not wrap it correctly. The minute you said there would be two threads on the needle I said oh I never understood that. Thank you for the way you teach. This stitch now makes sense to me.
I’m so glad Pamela! It’s a really pretty stitch once you get the hang of it. ❤️
Thank you you are Gifted I just love watching you
Create such beautiful stitch’s Thank You 🙏
Thank you so much Anne. ❤️💕❤️
I love this stitch. It will look so nice in Brazilian stitch with the rayon threads thank you for showing this stitcb.
❤️💕❤️
So pretty…and you make it so doable. Thanks.
Aw so glad you think so! ❤️
That's a beautiful stitch. Love the little knots outlining the wool appliques! Thank you for showing how to go both directions and for left and right-handed people!
I'm so glad it was helpful Lynnita! ❤️
As someone who is probably even more dependent on her right hand than you are on your left, I really appreciate you taking the time and effort to do a right handed version of this stitch. Thank you. Your work is beautiful.
Thx so much Lynn ❤️
Watching from New Hampshire here😁
Hi Maureen! So glad you were able to join in. ❤️
Wonderful, beautiful stitching and such lovely colour in your project. Thank you for such clear direction I can’t wait to have a practice. D : )
I’m so glad Deirdre! ❤️
Hi Ariane. Sally in Florida 💕

Thanks so much Carolyn. ❤️
Good Morning from Bend, Oregon
Hi Wendy! ❤️
It is 1:11 PM in RI and snowing.
Hi Kate, my brother lives in RI. We are also getting a little snow. ❤️
Informative and so helpful! TFS the inspiration!
❤️
I think I've mastered it thankyou 😌
Yay! ❤️
Thank you! Pretty stitch!!
I’m so glad you think so
Ariana, just wanted to say what an exceptional video tutorial. So clear, informative and concise...just perfect for learning a new stitch.And such beautiful examples and stitching eye candy...lol. Thank you so much for sharing your stunning work. C.xx
Aw... thank you so much. What a lovely comment. ❤️
Fantastic. Absolutely love it. Thanks for turning it around for all us right handers. 😉 You are an amazing resource for exquisite stitches. 👍
Oh I'm so glad you found this helpful. That's wonderful. ❤
Thank you sooo much for demonstrating the pearl stitch right handed. I’m sure it wasn’t the easiest thing for you.. really appreciate you 💕
Oh thank you for saying this Judy. I really appreciate it. I am VERY left handed! 😂❤️😂
Thank you so much for doing it right handed. You handled it very well.
Haha! Thank you. It was not easy to do and I had to practice off camera. Even so my brain kept shutting down! ❤️
I think I like the left handed way much better.
It's good to know which way you're more comfortable with. ❤️
Very pretty!
I think so too Theresa. ❤️
You are so inspiring Ariane. I have been watching you since the Spring because Anna Bates had mentioned you in one of her videos. Just the other day I realized I have some linen in my stash that I could experiment with. I quilt, knit, and cross stitch..... my grandmother had started to teach me embroidery as a child...I may just haul out that linen and her old embroidery basket that I inherited....and who knows? Thank you for the inspiration!
Oh you must keep me posted! I’d love to hear. ❤️
So glad I found your channel. I'm learning new stitches. 💕
I’m so glad you’re here! ❤️💕❤️
YAY... my first stitch-along video vs a watch along... easy peasy thanks for your instruction, Ariane! Thank you!
Oh good. I'm so glad Barbara!! Hopefully it all made sense. ❤️
I was just stitching on a small heart pillow while watching you so I decided to try it around the heart and I loved it. Thanks. I am right handed and your directions were great.
Oh good, I'm so pleased to hear that Mary. Thank you for telling me!!❤️💕❤️
The directions and video were wonderful! I could see it very clearly. Thank you.
Oh good. Thx Marti! ❤️
Thank you.
❤️💕❤️
Excellent 👌 your instructions are exact
Thank you so much Rea.
@@ArianeZurcher212 ♥️
Pretty awesome ❤❤
Thank you!
Gail here from Scotland
Hi Gail!! ❤️
I am learning so much from you now I got it into my head that I don’t need to turn things around in my head to do things lefthanded.. thank you so much. Your instructions are clear and now the practice! 🏴🤩😇 🪤🪡
@@chocbutty8719 I’m so glad Gail. ❤️💕❤️
Thank you so much. I have it now and I love it. Each stitch is a challenge but so much fun to do once learned. ❤️❤️❤️Very satisfying.
Wonderful! ❤️
I have just recently subscribed to your channel and I love your clear, slow and encouraging style of teaching. Thank you so much. Be safe.
Thank you so much Jill! I’m so glad ❤️
Hello Ariane, I’m one of those who gets totally flummoxed by this stitch and it’s not helped this time round by me feeling that your demonstration varies slightly from Sue Spargo’s directions in her ‘Creative Stitching’ book. I’m sure it’s to do with the winding of the thread around the needle at the end, can you see a difference in technique? Great fan of yours even though I’m a right handed. Thanks!
Other than the fact that in Creative Stitching the illustration shows this stitch being done using the back of the needle and I am demonstrating it using the tip, it is being done exactly the same. Take another look and perhaps try to follow along. I do see that the second time I demonstrate it at the 17:30 mark I have the thread looping above the needle and that shouldn't have been, however in the subsequent times of demonstrating, as well as the first time, it is done correctly. Let me know how it goes! ❤️
Your stitches are so beautiful...a work of art.
Thank you so much Linda. ❤️
Love this! Great example. I was wondering about another wrap, as another person asked.
I’m going to give it a try. ❤️
Such a beautiful stitch. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent
Thx so much Pam. I do love the Pearl Stitch especially when done in a 3 wt thread.
Beautiful stitch’s I’m a right hander, Thank You!
❤️
I love your stitching! You make it look so easy.
Aw... thank you so much Kate. I think once one can figure out which direction feels easiest, and with a little practice, then it's not such a difficult stitch. ❤️
New subbie from Italy, hi❤lucky to have found your channel! Love this stitch! Your work is amazing! Thank you so much!
Welcome! So glad you’re here. ❤️
Lindo ponto. Obrigada.
❤️
Thanks for doing this video Ariane, it was very helpful! I'm going to try it going at it from above and below and see if it makes a difference.
Oh good! I'm so glad it was helpful. Yes, give it a try and see what feels best. I prefer going counterclockwise with the appliqué below so that I'm stitching from the appliqué and above it. Doing it right handed was very difficult for me. My mind kept shutting down!
@@ArianeZurcher212 the right handers really appreciate your efforts! ❤️
@@JeriBellini Aw... thanks so much! ❤️
I think it was interesting seeing it in done in each hand; right or left! I think if I watch you do stitches in your left hand I can follow as well. I think your suggestion of trying in either hand is a good one! I like this stitch & will add it to my ‘play’ cloth this afternoon. Thanks!
@@lindalienhard7738 I’m so glad Linda!❤️
Very inspiring. Eye candy. Great instructions.What is the spiral stitch in the center?
Thank you so much! That’s the trellis stitch. th-cam.com/video/jUMqyGgoIFY/w-d-xo.html ❤️💕❤️
What is the name of stitched circle within the circle during the left-handed pearl stitch? I would love to see a series of all of the stitches used in your piece with multiple circles. Your work is fabulous!
That's a trellis stitch. th-cam.com/video/jUMqyGgoIFY/w-d-xo.html
And thank you so much! ❤️
Thanks for a great demo. Have you ever done it with more wraps like 3 or 4 for a larger Pearl?
No! I'll have to give that a try. Have you done that? I bet it looks amazing. I was also thinking one could add a bead in-between the pearls. That might be pretty too.
@@ArianeZurcher212 I think I tackled this stitch years ago and not again. But plan to try it again. Watching you make me wonder again hmm what happens with more wraps?
@@sandih.5798 I hadn’t even thought of that! I’m going to try it and see what happens.
Please what is that other stitch in the circle that seems to be a woven circle!
Hi Nancy I’d have to rewatch the video but typically flag the other stitches with connecting videos. I’m guessing it’s an open buttonhole filler stitch done in the round, but I made this video years ago so I can’t remember now. Go look at the open buttonhole stitch video and see if that’s it.
That didn't look very hard either way. Could you please tell me the name of that gorgeous thread that you used for the Pearl stitch? I must have some of that! Thank you Ariane. :)
I think you answered my question later in the video. 3 weight Shepherds silk. Was that it?
@@susanhamilton1822 I think it's a silk perle from Stef Francis, 5 wt. But the Pearl stitch at the end that I used on my Making Waves: A Drawstring Bag is a 3 wt. Shepherd's Silk. I don't use anything less than a 5wt thread for the Pearl Stitch.
See my comment below. ❤️
@@ArianeZurcher212 Great! I've got a list. lol
Has it started yet? I’m not getting it
Hmm... it was about 20 plus minutes long. Not sure what happens if you join in after it's begun, but I'm glad you're here. ❤️
Are you still live?
No. It began at 1pm EST and ran just over 20 minutes. ❤️
@@ArianeZurcher212 Thank you. I had company. As soon as they left, I got online! I love your explanations!!
@@conniestrause2231 oh I’m so glad!! ❤️
NEWS FLASH: :: : :: there is no such thing as a left or right handed stitch. the only difference between the hands is which direction you are sewing in. discuss with husband. xoxoxox Love you!!
Haha! Okay, but there IS a difference in which hand you are born favoring and for those of us who are predominantly "Left-Handed", it isn't just in the direction we stitch. I'm not sure about the "discuss with husband" advice as my husband isn't left handed, so I don't go to him for advice about my lived experience, but perhaps your husband is! ❤️💕❤️
