    As a man, I prefer the stem stitch. The others have varying degrees of ‘fanciness’, but the stem is clean simple and does the job.

Especially the waste knot technique I’m just starting with embroidering letters on tshirts and was searching up how to secure it without the knot and couldn’t find anything this was helpful thank you I also didn’t know exactly what to type when searching though..do you have a video on r shirt style embroidery? Stuff that will be washed over and over ?

    I’m new to embroidery and was wondering besides lettering what would you use the Palestrina stitch for? It’s so pretty and would love to start incorporating it..

    • @SarahHomfrayEmbroidery
      @SarahHomfrayEmbroidery  Před 3 lety +1

      It would make a good outline stitch Rachel as it's worked in a row and would easily turn around shapes. You could try working it in rows to as a filling stitch? I haven't tried it but thinking about it, it could also be worked as an individual stitch if you wanted to do an open filling with it. It's very versatile!

  • @scepellos

    hello, and thank you for your lovely videos ! i've learned so much. am trying my hand at the cable chain stitch in a heavy metallic thread. it keeps jamming up as individual threads will slip in the bundle and create lumps and knots. do you have any tips to keep the threads together ? is thread wax recommended for metallics ? thanks in advance !

  • @dagwoodspott2199
    @dagwoodspott2199 Před 3 lety +1

    Hello! I really enjoyed the video; even a total newbie like me could follow!
    One question: what's the thickness of the red thread you used for the couching? Guestimate says a millimeter and something, but I'm not sure.
    Thank you ^^

    • @SarahHomfrayEmbroidery
      @SarahHomfrayEmbroidery  Před 3 lety +1

      It's the full siz strands Federico so that's about 1mm but you can use any amount you like!

      @talscorner3696 Před 3 lety

      I asked mostly to have a reference point, because that "big thread with little thread" combination is exactly what I needed (only in blue and white xD)

      Have you tried any of the stitches in the second video '5 more stitches..'? Some of these are thicker. You can also just double up your threads if you want something more chunky..
