    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

    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?

    • @SarahHomfrayEmbroidery
      @SarahHomfrayEmbroidery  Před 2 lety +1

      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!

    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. 🎥

    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.

    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.
