    I think the only thing I can add is that the brand of floss can impact the final look of your work. Cosmo threads are finer than DMC. I use them when I want something wispy and delicate, or to add fine detail. Anchor and J&P Coates are more coarse than DMC. I use them when I'm stitching something textural like bark or turkey stitched thistles.

    I think the biggest thing I learned was just slowing down, and not going too fast with my stitches. it's the quickest way to make mistakes is if you're just stitching really quickly without much intention in where it's going.

    That was extremely helpful. I’m on my second picture and I’m making a lot of mistakes, but as I watch your videos I’m improving immensely! I’m tackling thread painting and it’s been pretty rough but I’m determined to get better. I want to be able to do pet photos like you do! You’re so talented!

    I have been doing this type of embroidery for a short time, so your tips are very helpful. If I don't like the way, or thread number looks; I just get my little scissors out and snip it all out and try again.

    This pattern is adorable!! One thing I just learned is to thread my needle so I have a knot at the end and a tail near the needle like you have here. I was doubling the thread over and knotting it together and it was making my stitches too thick and causing the threads to become messy. 😊p.s. love your channel!❤

    Any tips how to prevent fabric from bunching up? Or how to fix your fabric when it starts bunching up?

    • @crewelghoul
      @crewelghoul  Před 8 dny

      For thinner fabrics it helps to double them up. Or you can bind the embroidery hoop with cotton twill tape. Another thing is to get a hoop that’s a little bit nicer than the bamboo or wood ones you get at the craft store. I like to get beechwood hoops, you can find them on Etsy or Amazon!

  • @lucia-madridnishinojurado

    How do you know what direction your thread should go?

  • @Mragy666
    @Mragy666 Před 2 měsíci

    Please can you tell me how you keep your embroidery stitches flat mine seem loose and stick up

    • @crewelghoul
      @crewelghoul  Před 2 měsíci +1

      It may be your fabric! Is it completely smooth and tight in the hoop? If your fabric is tight and you’re still having problems it may be uneven tension when you’re making each stitch. For each stitch you make, make sure each one is tight but not so much so that it’s pulling or puckering the fabric.
