Hooray for short and to-the-point tutorials!

Thank you for this!! Everyone else talks for 8 years before actually showing you how to do anything 😂

Thank you for helping me fix my daughter's precious Charmander plushie that she got as her first gift from a friend. She was devastated that it got torn by the dog :'( I can't wait to show her that it's all fixed in the morning!! You're honestly a life saver!! 💖💞

I don’t know why, but this video was totally ASMR for me. I was just trying to sew a stuffed animal closed, but her voice, and the quiet shaking sounds in the back made me super relaxed. It’s a shame it’s only two minutes, I could listen for hours.

In terms of it being a tutorial, it’s perfect. Super succinct, and not long, drawn out and complicated.

Did this at half 3 in the morning on my girlfriend's stuffed bunny, this tutorial was a life saver. Thankyou so much

I like the fact that she actually took the time to read and reply to the comments

Perfect tutorial, got straight to the point with no unnecessary explanations or clips. Best tutorial I’ve seen on anything

[itswill]

discovering this in 2024 because I'm a guy and was never taught (my favorite hoodie has a tear 😢)

I have never been able to perfect this stitch no matter how many tutorials I looked up but this was perfect! I understand what I was doing wrong and hopefully now I can properly do a ladder stitch! Wonderful video ^.^

Finally a slowmo step by step of the ladder stitching. Awesome video.

Simple and easy to follow. For an amature who knows nothing about sewing I could managed to seal a hole in my trousers with reletive ease. Thanks again. 😊

I have seen so many videos telling you to do this stitch but never actually teaching you to do this stitch! You just saved me so many jeans! Thank you!

[debbiegoya]

This video is honestly the best one I've seen. Short, explained well and the demonstration was easy to see

[mariecurtis]

Thank you for posting. I had never learned how to sew a hand ladder stitch until this video and I am 50 years old! I appreciate the slower and simple process.

I wish they taught me this in sewing class—I was led to believe that when making pillows and whatnot, you’d inevitably have to see some of the thread where you sewed them closed after stuffing them haha. Thanks for this quick and easy tutorial!

This was a big help coming from a guy who has never showed before. I used this to fix a hole the size of a small coin in a sports top. Added tip: once you have ladder stitched it closed, then go over it with an under over technique, so as if you are wrapping the ladder stitch in it's on thread . Made it really strong

The ladder stitch always reminds me of the doll making scene from Coraline

I’m trying to hand stitch my cat’s favorite toy and I have no idea what the heck I’m doing. This was short, to the point, and I was able to clearly see what you were doing. Also, thank you for not having ridiculously annoying background music. Thank you so much!

[ramblingdreamer]

This is one of the best tutorials I've ever seen. So easy to hear and see what's going on. So helpful!

Somehow ended up here 2 am, looks like Imma need this in the future.
