Is canvas the best fabric for embroidery?

I've been wanting to get in to embroidery for a while now and this video helped a lot

So good .watched .joined.join mine too.check notification. Waiting for us notification 🤝

Done. Please join mine too

Wow so good

Done.

Thank you for this helpful guide! :)
But how do we actually end the stitches?

Have you ever tried the quilters knot? It is so much easier to do especially for those new to making knots at the end of their thread.

Excuse me a question, what is the name and where can i get the white pen mention in this video?

I've watched any number of beginner embroidery videos, and this was the most helpful and comprehensive. Thanks for spending the time to help newbies like me get over that hump of "but I don't even know where to start"!

excellent thanks

What are some good brands for embroidery hoops? It's hard to tell online if the hoops have u shape you recommend.

Thanks for the informations. I used to do hand embroidery and I am in love with it. Mam, may you please let me the name of the square frame you have used in the video..

That strand separation tip alone was worth all 34 minutes. Recently started watching your videos, they're great

!!!!! 🌺🌸🌷💕

Also if you're new to chakras 😍

How do you access the other lessons? I can only find this one and not the stitches on the sampler. Many thanks!

Excellent!!!!!!! 👌👌👌

Thank you! I also tie a not like you did, thanks to my mom as well 😍

Tnq mam luv u 🥺

All you do is mist the marker not sink.

Great video. !! Thank you…. I’m very new to embroidery and to your channel, what “Brands” of your recommended hoops, frames and emb. clippers / scissors and best spot to get them.. Thank you, Oscar

I am so sorry for everything I'm about to say(about me because I'm exactly very new to embroidery,but not new to sewing) here I go:
1) I'm using regular sewing thread cause I'm cheap,and yes I'm annoyed too that I'm making this process more difficult than need-be! (I've practiced enough to feel like quadrupling the thread at this point has the same-ish consistency of a three-strand of embroidery thread),and here I am at this video cause I know I need help. My project is making patches for a beloved family before this Christmas,and I feel like I'm already behind with "a patch a month",cause I know better!
2) I'm using my old work pants as the main fabric because I figured something sturdy for a sew-on-only patch material should suffice.
3) I didn't understand tension well enough,but realized something has gone awry,so I'm currently heating up my glue gun in hopes that binding the lucky embroidery hoop may help,as I've seen in other videos,this may help with the tension. (P.s. reason why I'm using thread is cause I can't imagine finding a trove of someone's old hobby's-worth of gold at the thrift,and...I just have so many colored threads that may never come to use,so I'm navigating this project with what I have cause I'm a frugal bitch).
4) I actually drew the image beforehand,but I only sketched the general background color sections cause I planned on free-handing the wording afterwards....I imagine this is not proper,but again-here I am.
5) even after pulling the fabric taught,I started to worry that it'll bounce back and all the stitching I ever did will just be loosey-goosey,and this is the point where I realized I may be out of my expertise! I don't know what I don't know,and this is why this first patch was meant to be a practice round!
Again,I apologize for this horrible span of events in my endeavor to "figure it out" with regular thread in the first place,but I figured I was off to a shit start with using regular sewing thread in the first place;I am very stubborn afterall,but I love to learn,afterall!
Thank you for this video,I only commented because I wanted to express how silly a person can be when they may first start out. (You're not alone,afterall!)

This video is actually very amazing for a first-time embroidery video,but one thing I will add is this....I ABSOLUTELY do not trust myself with tying off thread at all,I've learned to weave in the tail on both ends,whether I tie off at all or not,I just weave the tail into my work,and it has always felt more secure than double-triple-quadrupuling the knitting because it never looks professional,and I just-UGH-as a person,I really hate starting,and ending projects....and with any form of thread working,I just hate it. Sewing,knitting(I still suck at crochet),and still with embroidery,I can only rely on weaving the front and back tails into the fabric if I can,and it's always "clean" work for me,anyway. This is a beginner video and I am adding my few cents to a realm I have ZERO clue about.
Don't be like me by starting off with the wrong material,and you'll be okay,lol.

Wow, 90 variations of just the chain stitch only! I haven't embroidered in such a long time so I would almost call myself a beginner. I know many of the basic stitches so this will be interesting to get to. I will be starting with your two stitch samplers first. I want to do a stitch sampler book so I can do some serious practice on different stitches. Thank you for sharing this. I have learned so much already from the tips in your videos.

i love these vids and Charlie is wonderful!! i've been cross stitching for around 20 years. DMC winds their thread in a row. imaging all 6 pieces in a line and then spinning them together. this technique will work very well if you take 2 or more pieces that are "next" to each other. that doesn't all ways happen and you'll get knots. some DMC, for some reason will just want to knot more than others. i don't know why. if while sewing your thread gets too twisted and will knot. i will hold up my work and let the needle dangle. all the extra tension will spin out until the needles stops spinning. poof!! all better!

I do all sorts of creative works crochet, draw, paint, sew, mold, etc. I really up until watching your videos recently didn't think embroidery was done anymore. I saw the hoops at the store and wondered why they would still be sold LOL I read all about the proper ladies who embroidered to pass the time in stories. My husband bought some embroidery floss a few years ago to make a bracelet and I said hold on to the leftovers I'll do something with it, well the day has come! I'm going to try embroidery! This was a fantastic start for me, Gonna have to watch hours of content before I feel confident but I'm excited to try it!

Thanks so much. I just subscribed to your channel. Fantastic video! I especially loved the strand separation trick! I have always had problems with this skill. And I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. Very frustrating. I can’t wait to try it myself. I really like the knot trick also. Do you have any suggestions on using a stand hope (table hoop)? Not sure what’s it called. I have read that they can be easier on your hands. Thank you again.

Thank you for the knowledge on the hoops! I didn't know what I didn't know.

I think its funny that i want to get better at embroidery because i want to embroider eyes for plushies. The thing is the plushies fabric i use is minkyXD. Lovely stretchy minkyXD.

I use the same hoops for my cross-stitch projects. I have hand-eye coordination issues that make threading needles and tying knots more difficult, so I do use a needle threader and tie my knots like I'm tying a French knot. I haven't wandered into the realm of actual embroidery at this point, but I do cross-stitch and have recently delved into the world of sashiko. I find hand stitching to be a meditative process.

I had never heard of the interlocking (U) hoops before and having to readjust the fabric every 5-10 min was frustrating to me so I got a set and ya'll. I am never going to back to using any other type of hoop for working my embroidery. The fabric DOES NOT MOVE! once you've tightened the hoop enough it stays put. I am so happy with these and they weren't all that expensive either. 100000/10 would recommend to anyone who embroiders.

Thank you!

Thank you ! Thanks for the tips ! I'll be using the what to look for in plastic hoops such as the U vs L profile this weekend !

Some great advice, thanks! I figured out the thing about tracing with the pattern backwards myself but it took me ages, lol. And you've saved me a bit of aggro with the threads tip xD reminds me of spinning yarn, if you put too much spin in the yarn it'll bunch up too. Thanks!
