I am 67 yrs old I used to embroidery many years ago. I had pretty much forgotten how. I found you, and now I am going to start again, I miss it. Thank you. ❤

I am learning so much from watching your videos -I have embroidered over 50 yrs and still learn from you - im from Perry Maine U S A thank you I enjoy your voice❤️

After decades of admiring hand embroidery, I may give it a shot because of you. Thank you for the free education.

There's nothing like the sound of taut fabric. :)

[stephenadler]

I’m so happy I found you. I can’t believe your free. You are a very good teacher, ☺️

[deleria]

The way you describe the stitches but by bit with important details really speaks to me. I also find the two camera set up very helpful.

Love your videos. No nonsense. well-explained tutorials....No glitter finger nails, etc 😆 A great teacher!

[Schatzie]

Your video instructions are outstanding. Your speed is just right. Slow enough so the student gets it but not so slow as to be boring. I make 1:12 scale dresses and accessories and am hoping to improve my embroidery skills to decorate them. I am certain I have come to the right place!

I’m late to this, but I’ve compiled a huge private playlist of your videos to help me learn. The way you teach is MAGNIFICENT. Thank you! 💜💜💜

Wonderful vid, ty. Have never seen a French knot done with only one turn of the thread before. It looks so much more delicate and pretty.

[nanettebeal]

Awesome I've been looking for someone to show me these stitches for so long and here you are!! Clear around the world, WOW! THANK YOU AND HOPE TO LEARN MORE!! From the north east coast of USA

Thank you so much Sarah. My (left-handed) French Knots are a law unto themselves at present but they are improving, albeit very slowly! Your videos are everything a beginner needs and I am so grateful for your generosity and the time you took to make them.. Thank you hugely. Marion in the UK

I am so impressed by your videos and greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into them! I'm learning so much and I know I'm learning the right way.

[karentoynton]

I like to see the left handed at workm, as left handed myself. It’s always more difficult following right handed people when you are trying tim. Thank you fo sharing,

[misseygallawan]

What an excellent video!! Thank you so much for sharing. I forgot how beautiful embroidery is. Love your instruction on the French Knot. I never knew about the Pistol Stitch.

[charlottegray]

I love your teaching method! You take your time to slowly explain to beginners to hand embroidery. So easy to follow. I would like to post a picture up of my first go at it. I used all five of these stitches.

[richardeidemiller]

Seeing this very late but what a great way to demonstrate this. The closeup shot is excellent. Very easy to learn with your teaching method. Thank you, Vicki

[boblowney]

as a teacher, I appreciate how you teach. clear, repeat, and you split the screen so we can see you and what you are doing.

[hayleysmith]

Hi I'm new... you make it look easy...I'm getting there, now I got your needle threader, I couldn't even thread the needle, ha. I've been flat machine sewing for years but trying to see the eyelet to thread is hard. I'll keep practicing. Your shops great too. Thank you Sarah.😊

I learned embroidery when I was nine and enjoyed it very much. Hadn't done it in years though. Now I'm brushing up on my knowledge and adding to it. Came across your videos which I find very listenable. I like the one where you show various ways to transfer a pattern to fabric. I'm going to have so much fun embroidering. I love hand sewing!
