Aww, that's amazing! My mom is a quilter too, and if she ever has an unfinished quilt when she passes, I'll have to make sure to do this. She doesn't embroider, though, and just uses printable fabric to make her tags with the quilt name, who it was for, the date it was done, etc.

Thank you for this video! Your stained glass embroidery inspired me to give it another go, and I'm really enjoying my creations. Satin stitch is tough, so I appreciate all the advice!

I super appreciate you taking the time to stitch and then show full examples of everything you talked about. It made it so clear.

This is pure gold. I just come back from time to time during my embroidery practice. Damn satin stich! To me is the hardest.

One of the most helpful videos i ever watched

I laughed at the 'ironcically bad satin stitch'!! Thanks for the video :)

Thank you so much. I hate doing satin stitch because it would always look "wonky". These tips look very useful and I might have to try that stitch again!

checked this video out before I started a satin stitch based piece and I already know that it’s helped a ton. thanks!!

Am I supposed to sew an outline before AND after the satin stitching?

This is such an incredibly helpful video! I'm just starting out and trying to figure out how to correct the way the edges of the shapes I fill always turn out uneven and wonky. I really appreciate all of these tips, and I can't wait to try them out! I have a couple of questions: 1) How do you decide what angle will work best for filling a shape? What makes some angles easier or more difficult to stitch than others? 2) I've been mostly using the thread-saving version of satin stitch (which I actually learned about from another one of your videos!), could that possibly affect how the shapes turn out? Do you notice any difference in the end result when using a traditional satin stitch vs. the thread-saving one? Thank you so much for making all of these wonderful videos!

@gettheetothestitchery

Жыл бұрын

Hey, so glad you found the videos helpful! So angles definitely make a big difference in the final look of your satin stitch. My first goal is always to keep the stitches fairly short, so if you're filling in a large-ish area of space, I'll avoid any angle that will give me long stitches across the widest area. I also like to work "against" the largest straight edge of the area, if that makes sense - choosing an angle that will be perpendicular or at least diagonal in relation to the longest straight side of the shape. After those two considerations, it has more to do with the angles of the surrounding areas... sometimes, I just choose one randomly! Using the thread saver method of satin stitch will also affect the final look. Ultimately, the traditional method with the full loop of thread on the back of the piece is always going to look cleaner and stronger, and it does actually make it easier to get neat edges too. I generally only use the thread saver version if I'm going to be layering more stitches on top (doing Laid Work) or if I'll be outlining the shape with a different stitch to cover the edges. Hope all of that helps and happy stitching!

@@gettheetothestitchery Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed reply!! This all makes perfect sense, and is exactly the kind of advice I needed!

These are very good tips! Thank you sooo much. Quick question though. How large is that beautiful rose? Do you stretch the stitch across larger areas or do youuse another fill-in method for larger projects? If so, how large before you choose another stitch? I mean what size is too large?

@gettheetothestitchery

Жыл бұрын

The rose is about 3 inches tall altogether (or just the flower part, not the stem). I definitely recommend switching to another stitch type when you're filling an area larger than 1-2 inches across. If satin stitches are too long, they'll start gaping in the center and not look great anymore. Switching to a split stitch or brick stitch is a great option, or you can try laid work methods like Bayeux Stitch or Diagonal Stitch Holding to secure longer sections of Satin Stitch.

Hi there! Thanks a lot for the amazing tips! 💞 My issue is that when I do a satin stitch that is too long, my yarn gets loose (like on a T-shirt for instance). Do you know how I could avoid that?

@gettheetothestitchery

Жыл бұрын

That is likely due to one of two reasons: either your stitches are too long (I recommend staying less that 2 inches in length tops, 1 inch is better) which will always lead to some amount of gaping in satin stitch (best to just switch to something like split stitch fill instead) or if you're embroidering on a material that has any stretch to it, the fabric may be stretching as you make the stitches, so when it relaxes to it's resting position, the stitches are then too long. Try a sturdy stabilizer under your stitching to avoid that!

nice

What pen do you use?

Oooh using one long stitch like on that triangle could make some interesting curved designs! I also am horrible at long and short stitch. Any advice on it? I just cannot keep the 2nd row all the same length.

@gettheetothestitchery

2 жыл бұрын

Oh goodness, I struggle with long and short too! I think the best thing to help with even stitches is drawing out all your lines before stitching - it takes some extra time, but if you mark each new row of stitches with clear lines, you'll always know where to stop and start.

Hi, thanks for the video. I am having trouble deferential between the satin stitch and the straight stitch. I hope you can give me some guidance on this. I'm doing this by hand, btw.

@gettheetothestitchery

Жыл бұрын

Hi! So a straight stitch is just a single line of thread, which means a lot of other stitches are made up of some combo or variation of straight stitches. Satin Stitch is just a bunch of straight stitches made right next to each other to fill a space with no gaps between!

It's definitely up to you which stitch you use, and a lot of it depends on how you want the final texture to look! As a rule of thumb though, I try to avoid using satin stitch on shapes that are too big, so look at the space you are filling and consider the angle you would sew satin stitch, then find where the longest stitch would be. If that stitch would be more than 2 inches, it might be better to go with a more textured fill stitch like long and short, brick, or split stitch. I actually don't use long and short much, as I find split stitch easier to fill large areas and give an even texture. This gives me a good idea for another video though, looking at all the different fill stitches you can use on the same shape!

Yes, I definitely recommend using a different stitch! I try not to do satin stitch any longer than 2 inches - staying 1 inch or under is even better - because it gapes exactly as you said. For bigger areas, something like a split stitch fill, Bayeux stitch, or long and short works much better!
