How to start and finish embroidery threads

[Beckbunch]

Hello! I’m 15 years old, and I just decided to start embroidery as a hobby. 😁 I just wanted to tell you that your videos have been so very helpful to me. Thank you, and God bless you!!

[kimberlywiley]

For years I had lots of little knots in the back of my work, most unattractive. Nice to know a neater way to start and end my embroidery stitches.

Who says old needlewomen can't learn new tricks? This is a very useful technique and you explain every step so clearly.

[teddiegawley]

I have been doing some form of embroidery off and on for 70 years, and I never knew this technique. Thank you so

[leckemba]

Oh Sarah. I’m so happy to know this. No more knots on my embroidery from now on! Thank you.

[carolentringer]

I've been embroidering forever (self-taught), but have never learned these basics. Thank you!

[danflower]

Oh thanks so much im trying to learn embroidery by watching your videos.

[stargirlmacbain]

Oh my goodness! I am so glad I found your channel! I'm still very much a beginner and these videos have been SO VERY HELPFUL!

[FunSoSoToTo]

I've seen this method before but I didn't understand it at all, and I'm mad at the algorithm that didn't show me your videos sooner 😩
Your explanation is very clear, thank you so much for sharing the knowledge ❤️

[MariaMartinez-jbzn]

Love that, thank you…that will keep my thread safe from being undone…much appreciated, Mia

[deliabottoms]

Hello Sarah! This is the best method I have seen demonstrated for starting and ending stitches. I love the idea of a waste knot and the anchor stitches. It makes so much sense! Thank you for another great tutorial!

[carolinafernandezsantos]

Thank you sooo much for this video!! I bough my mom a tweed purse and I wanted to embroider some details to make it more personalized. The problem is I'm working over a deep pocket, so it's hard so see the back and work on it. Also I wanted it to be as neat as possible so that some things like keys don't get caught. This method was a life saver, thank you :)

[ivorybow]

This was so helpful. My grandmother taught me to weave both the starting and finishing threads with a tiny crochet hook, and I am so glad to see this simpler method. You will be seeing my name in the comments a lot because I am watching as many of your tutorials daily as I can. I am getting ready to do a vintage style dresser scarf for my granddaughter's hope chest. I have not embroidered for about 10 years, and I am very rusty! Thank you

[nyvidiabread]

Thank you for the amazing tutorial for this! I like how you zoomed in on the fabric so that we can see what you are doing clearly!

[heyluvi]

Thank you so much for your videos!! They have improved my work SO much after just watching this video and the video about keeping the back neat. Thank you thank you!!! Can’t wait to learn more from you.

This is brilliant. It's really difficult to tie a knot that's close to the hoop and now I never will bother with that again.

[emilyrue]

Hi Sarah, I’m really enjoying the tutorials. I started in bordering when I was 13 and I’m now 71. I love to hand embroidery and I also hand quilt my quilt. Keep the great tutorials coming, even though I am learning new tricks and techniques.

[jahnavi]
