I learned to embroider following my doctor’s orders with the purpose of helping me to recover from memory loss. And it worked beyond all my expectations.

I embroidered in high school as a a way to pass time on summer vacations spent at my grandmother’s rural home. I recently had surgery and once again picked up the hobby while recovering. Four months later, I’m obsessed.

This video really moved me. I have recently taken up embroidery and it feels very natural to me. My beloved late Granny embroidered for many years in her older age. This feels a little like a link to her, and to other generations of people before me and around me who I may never know but they all use the same needles and threads, and make the same motions that I make now, and it is a special kind of connection.

I like to imagine the embroidery loop is older than drums. Ever set one up and go 'pat pat pat' on it? Yeah. Something nice and primal about that. Someone stretches out skin to or work on and a kid keeps hitting it with a stick, making a cool sound. That's what being human is all about.

May only have been an advert for a course, but this mini doc was beautiful and I loved every short minute of it. Thank you!

[Darling_Decay]

I love doing this so much, I’m still new to it all but it’s just soo fun!! Amazing thing to do when you’re anxious or don’t know what to do with your hands while watching/listening to something

Is there a way to contact the author of this piece? I teach an embroidery history to 1600-1650-ish. I have questions about a couple of the stills that you share.

[dianejarvis]

Excellent! Thank you. Wish it were longer however.

[Angie_suv]

So much inspiration! Thank you for so well made video
I’ll be embroidering all the beautiful designs now, what a treat

[CetanBlood]

Im in 7th grade doing embroidery, and ngl its actually fun to do

I feel the information in this video is incomplete. You have not covered Indian embroidery at all. Here the type and designs of embroidery change from state to state

[WoofyMcDoodle]

Sad that this art is gone. Something so beautiful and artistic, instead they praise the idustrial revolution and the invention of synthetic fibres that harm our environment as something positive.

[SamDias]

Why haven't they mentioned Indian One of the finest.... Made the Brits crazy too😂❤

[VetsrisAuguste]

“…if you imagine a person patiently stitching…that person is most likely a woman…”
Despite being raised in a family where mastery of fiber arts is a strong tradition, particularly amongst the women, every expert embroiderer I have ever known was a man.

[chandrikamummusavla]

Yes this is incomplete vidio because not covered Indian embroidery

[lorrygeewhizzbang]

That map of the British isles at 2.52 🤦‍♀️

[Noblebird]

we really need this to be split into ancient and modern: I am trying to find out more about embroidery in the first century BCE. Also Please for the sake of neurodiverse and elderly viewers remove the obnoxious and distracting music.

[daniaeyad]

This lacks info embroidery started in Palestine or the land of Canaan even before old egyptianz took over it started in the oldest city ever the city of Al Khalil in eng Hebron in Palestine

[VetsrisAuguste]

So, no description of the basic concept of embroidery.

No further detail into the “secret messages” alluded to in the intro.

A misleading reference to the advent of the jacquard loom as if damask is the same thing as embroidery.

Then we skip right to the footage of modern embroidery machines without any explanation of how we got there.

Hmmm. Wikipedia has better info.
