It’s 1:43 am why is this so satisfying

You are the Bob Ross of embroidery. So soothing & calm to watch. Love your vids!

Her videos are so informative and I like how she not only shows you the straight line, but then goes over how to use it in practice — without speeding up the video. I also learned the value of the starting stitch and how the “no knotting” method works. And, I appreciate that she doesn’t edit out her mistakes and instead shows us how she corrects them. Her Palestrina stitches are so beautifully done!

Such an enjoyable relaxing video. I appreciate that you first show how to do the stitch in a straight line and then apply it to a letter. Beautiful work.

This is a wonderful video! I haven't embroidered for 50 years or more and had forgotten even basic stitches. Thank you for showing, in detail, how to do the stitch and then how to use it. I would like to see the back of your finished work, as well. (I suspect that your back is as neat and precise as your front!)

When I was a kid growing up in the fifties I was sent every Saturday afternoon to the house of an elderly lady to learn embroidery. Whenever I fly anywhere now, I get one of those little embroidery kits to keep my fingers and mind busy during the flight - for some reason, I’ve realised that a needle is one thing security doesn’t mind you taking on board! Now I can practice some letters as well :-)) Thanks for posting!

Thank you for the video, needed the refresher since I haven't done decorative stitching since I was a kid when my grandma taught me.

Thank you for the refresher course. I am 55 and I used to embroider with my great-grandmother as a child. I loved it, and I loved the time with her. I am a grandmother now and want to embroider my granddaughters name on everything. When she is older I hope to teach her. I will have to practice till then. I am starting off with pillow cases with their names for Christmas. I have never seen that last stitch before it's very pretty. Thank you.

Thank you for all your wonderful tutorial videos Sarah. The Palestrina stitch has always intimidated me. I watched this video again, took a deep breath and worked a few samples (as you recommend in another video) and I manged to master the stitch - well, sewed it well enough to add to the embroidery I'm working on at the moment anyway. I was so pleased with myself that I bragged to my husband, who knows what's good for himself, and he complimented my neat stitches. 😀

[LoveJesus]

I haven't even gotten to the end of your stem stitch and I know this is the best tutorial ever. Thank you for the clear explanation!

[bedambi]

You have a lovely way about you! Thank you for the video - going to try the palestrina stitch!

Very inspiring. Best stitching tutorial I've ever seen. I love how you show the stitch technique first and then go on to show how to use it. Thank you.

[tink]

You are such a great teacher. I can't wait to practice what I've learned in this video. Thanks for making it❤❤❤

[keishajackson]

That H is gorgeous!! Thank you for making these videos ❤

[cocojo]

I used to do embroidery as a small child, tray clothes, chair backs, hankies etc. but I'm thinking of taking it up again as an lady in my late 60'sso your videos are really awesome for me to 'relearn' this lovely stitchwork.

[marypeterson]

Your a wonderful teacher. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
