Hand Stitching Tips for Junk Journaling

[@delc1946]

Darlene here. Thanks so much for the refresher course. I haven't embroidered for years. And I especially liked the helpful idea with the Xs.

Thanks for watching!

Never was good at the French knots you had some lovely pieces

[@rootpursuit]

Thank you!

[@gdobberteen]

I use to do lots of stitching from iron on embroidery to whatever I thought would be neat… not so much anymore but these are cool. Thank you for sharing!!!

[@rootpursuit]

It does add a nice touch, but generally I guess I enjoy working with paper more!

[@susierodgers307]

Thanks for sharing this, it really helped!!

[@rootpursuit]

Happy Crafting!

I tried many times to make a french knot, but it never worked, I'll try your method and hope it works. You explained it much better. Thanks

[@rootpursuit]

Oh good! I hope it works for you!🌺

I have been wanting to learn how to hand stitch fabrics for my an this was a helpful video.I ordered a fabric pack from you to practice on.I have alot of dmc threads and how many strands would you use for stitches?

[@rootpursuit]

I suggest two or three strands.

You made a lovely video but, it would be much more helpful if you could stay in shot so we can see what you are doing.

[@rootpursuit]

Lol. Yes, I didn’t do a good job…I was really struggling with the close up, seeing it close, and simultaneously through the camera, plus talking was more than I could handle. 😕😫
