Finally someone who understands what a true beginner is. Some of us need ALL the instructions

[stefanie]

YAY!! Finally, true instructions for beginners like me!! Thank you!!🧵🪡🪢

[maryviti]

I needed a “refresher” lesson! I was concentrating and didn’t notice the music. Thank you for the CLEAR instructions. 🍀

[hydronicrocker]

Thankyou for getting down to business in less than a minute. So many other videos have so much introductory fluff but this is perfect - I appreciate you! :)

[angelamallery]

I appreciate that you talk. I have been searching starting from a starter I got on Amazon, and the only directions are a video w no talking!

[heisticles]

I can tell how passionate about this you are by the quality of video you produced. I bet your house is full of the coolest embroidered decor

Super tutorial. Researching for my wife and found myself watching way longer than i needed to.

[havefaith-wr]

Omg, finally someone unfmderstood the real struggles of beginners.
Thank you for teaching it from scratch ❤

[jennyp]

I love the clear way you've shown us how to do things right from the start, so we don't have to go back to correct mistakes we make. Thank you.

[Toptow]

This is great! I haven't done any embroidery since I was in junior school and that was nearly 70 years ago!! I had forgotten most of it. Many thanks for sharing.❤

[junkonatsumizaka]

Needle to the thread vs. thread to the needle is where I was messing up. Thank you so much!

[BeeGeey]

Liked this vid better than most. Really like the tips, gives much more detail not talked about in other vids, esp when you have no one with experience you can ask.

Excellent video, don’t sweat the music folks. I just turned on the captions and appreciate the clear and well presented information! I’m just starting to embroidery and this video is very helpful.

[betterinthyme]

Oh my goodness thank you! I was striggling to learn the stem stitch from the kit I bought. The video of you doing it makes it seem so simple. Thank you!

[Ladythyme]

Wish you were doing more…these videos are EXCELLENT! Thank you for what you’ve done!

[nmcil]

Just joined a mixed media art group and need to learn how to do simple stiches - perfect for what I need to learn. Excellent instructions and outstanding visuals that clearly show the techniques. Now on to my project - thanks ever for your vids.

[joan-mariacbrooks]

While I do tatting and macrame, my mother did embroidery and I can remember seeing her do French knots on a pillowcase when I was a child. Now I have time to indulge in more creative endeavors. and your video is the easiest one I've seen. I especially appreciate the way you clearly photograph your stitches; as a visual learner, that helps a great deal. Thank you and I've subscribed!

It breaks my heart when I have spent an entire day binging because my daughters want me to learn - and your videos are helpful and peaceful… I pulled up the comments to say thank you and this first thing I see is negative…. If you don’t have anything nice to say DON’T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL. Find another channel - I just practiced and easily did all of the stitches… I wanted to say thank you - but everyone else with their bs ruined that moment for me as well. Why do people think their opinion matters so much? Just move on and don’t break anyone’s spirit and hard work and gratuitous sharing with your negative Nelly comments. Thanks to this channel - I am a graduated cross stitcher- confident I CAN EMBROIDER AND I’M GRATEFUL TO YOU!

[nancyswanson]

Great Video! So patiently explained and showed at different angles.

[kyralee]

So SO helpful!!! As mentioned by others, really appreciate the no nonsense straight to the stitching!! My first time trying and your videos were very clear and helpful! <3
