As a quilter, I am really starting to appreciate frayed edges and the whimsy of it.

Best embroidery teacher ever! Thank you again Sarah.

I have not used blanket stitch all that much yet but thanks to your great examples I have many ideas! Your piece is looking very nice! Slow stitching is awesome! I love the frayed edges! It gives the piece character! Thanks for the awesome video. Nice visit from Ginger cat too! He’s such a good boy! 💜🐈

Love your ginger kitty i use to have one just like him.

Very helpful video! You're a wonderful teacher! Thank you🥰

I have picked up stitching after retirement and thoroughly enjoy your videos. Thanks for the tips for left handlers too!!

Your work is so amazingly beautiful. I learn so much from you Thank you.

Ginger Cat 🐈🐈🐈🤘🤘🤘✌️✌️✌️💖💖💖

Your dragonfly is just sublime 😍

Lovely, thank you and cat too : )

Good morning. I love buttonhole stitch. I learned it in 1975 while I was in the hospital after having my 1st child. A girl in the bed across from mine was putting a blanket stitch edge on a blanket for her new baby. Yes my hospital used to have wards where 6 or 8 women were all together after giving birth. It is a great stitch. Thank you for showing your stitch pieces. I need to check out that heart video. Thank you

"...this is a blanket stitch; if you do them close together, it's a buttonhole stitch...." Oh my stars -- thank you Sarah, for this video. I am not a seamstress, but I have a frayed edge on a shirt that I thought would be nice to repair with something decorative that looks like the dense stitching done for buttonholes. I spent an hour looking at videos, blogs, pictures of people doing one or the other stitch (which looked suspiciously similar to my untrained eye, but what do I know -- I don't sew) and not one person made the distinction -- or link -- that they are, in fact, the SAME stitch! :) Anyway -- thanks for the video: clear, concise, easy to follow and you do beautiful work!

Ginger Cat is fascinated, as am I. Love the stitch, it’s not one I’ve done, but now will for sure.

Sarah, you helped me conquer my fear of hand embroidery and then you introduced me to slow-stitching. I'm glad you did, I made a piece for my mom for last Christmas. She liked it so much she requested another for Mother's day! It's quite a change of pace from my normal tailoring 🪡🧵

Another wonderful tutorial Sarah, thankyou, and your blue dragon fly is absolutely stunning ❤

I'm fairly new to embroidery, gonna make a beautiful stitch sampler. I've been doing lots of collages on fabric squares with stitches, bored of these now. Really useful videos as I get stuck how to start on herringbone and how to start off applique blanket stitch. Enjoying learning new stitches. I even embroidered a bee earlier, so I'm doing okay with my stitches. I need one of those vintage bobbin reels now to wind it around.

Hallo, Ginger Cat ❤

I just got into embroidery, and your videos have been so helpful! Thank you so much for your artistic mind 😍💞

Hi, you give me So many ideas For my channel. So beautiful, you are doing a fantastic job!❤

Finally I know ow how to begin this stitch properly. Thankyou Sarah

Hi Sarah, would you please consider producing a video on how to do the Cretan stitch? I've got books that show me, but I'm still a little confused about it. I want to use it stacked layer upon layer in a free form fashion. Thank you for your wonderful videos! You're keeping me busy with the needle!

Sarah have you thought of slow stitching a Bible cover. I'm thinking of sewing a Bible cover with pockets and the thought of creating a slow stitch cover came to mind. Thank you, Laura.

I was just beginning to think about finishing edges, and up pops Sarah with the answers! ❤ I have a question, Sarah - does Ginger Cat stitch or is he strictly quality control? 😂

Great ideas - Thank you. Now to put them into practice 😊

Good morning, love your teaching style! I have a vintage quilted patch work Christmas tree skirt that was started to come apart. The seam allowances were not consistent so unfortunately Iit was not possible to make a seamless hidden repair. On its own right it is a beautiful piece and my repair work although necessary detracts from the piece. I've come up with the idea that if I do decorative embroidery over all the I intersecting seams I could enhance the piece and take it to the next level. The quilt pattern is a multi pointed star in a Christmas paisley and all the other blocks are natural muslin. I'm thinking I could use the major green to do the stitches on the paisley seams and the change to something else for the muslin blocks. My dilemma is should I choose just one stitch and if so which on or should I do a variety of stitches. In the end if I do this I think it will end up with a "crazy quilt" look. As it is an heirloom piece I think it would be worth the effort as we conto pass it down through future generations. Your input would be greatly appreciated.

As for myself with the butterfly, I would have replaced the chain with your cross stitch or seed stitch. Chain isn't as beautiful as your stitching. Love your teaching
