I haven’t done embroidery in a while and my husband has been asking me why I don’t get back into it. I watched this video next to him and he heard how many hours you put into this outline. His face of disbelief was met with “that’s why”.

Haha perfection! I think it catches a lot of people by surprise when they find out how very detailed and monotonous and long of an art embroidery is.

i really enjoy the details. i watch youtube while i do my own art and when there's a lot of chatting from the creator, it feels like i'm not just like, in a room by myself doing art. and a longer video means not having to frequently search for new ones lol

Aw I'm so glad to hear that! I always wonder if my videos are too long or I'm talking too much, so that feedback puts me at ease!

I enjoy the details and extra content you add... Keep that coming! Can't wait to see the progress!

I love this long format for working along with you. Your story-telling and personality are important characteristics to me.

Erasing the pen ink with a hand dryer is such a clever idea. I always thought of it as ironing only & your method is way easier.

I really enjoy hearing all the details! It's like a window into your train of thought and it's interesting to hear what you consider when you make your decisions. Will you do a video on color selection?

Yep! Part 2 will start with color selection and move right through to the end of the piece!

@@gettheetothestitchery thank you for getting back to me! I'm thrilled to see what/ how you do the rest! And I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the process! Thank you for posting all that you do, and for all the work that goes into your videos!

I love all your extra details and information. I listen to your videos while I stitch specifically because of this! I also hate the feel of sulky sticky!

Hating that sticky backing more every day! XD But I love that I can be a stitching accompaniment for you!

Thank you for sharing all the details. I am setting up a similar project and it helps a lot! There are not many video's like this on youtube!

Hey, when you love the long game, you can't stop yourself! I've been writing my whole life too, so I think the two crafts go hand-in-hand... you've got to be committed enough to stick with something for a very long time.

This already looks stunning 😍 I am really excited to see what it becomes!

You're too kind! I can't wait to share the final product!

What a fun video this was!

I can imagine finishing all (or most) of the windows, in similar or same heights, even if varying widths, then hanging them up on a blank white wall as though they actually are a series of stained glass windows

I am waiting for full final result 😅

AWESOME !!! Your excitement made me excited for you ;) Really looking for to your progress on this masterpiece ;) Would there be another stitch make it easier than satin when it's a long one ? ;) Thanks for sharing ;D

Satin is definitely the easiest choice for a piece like this, despite it still being a tricky one to get right. Any other fill stitches like brick stitch or split stitch would give great texture and avoid any gaping on bigger sections, but would take even longer and more thread to sew.

So fantastic. Love the details and the chats! Can you add links for the hoop and the sticky backing?

Thanks! I'm honestly not sure where I bought the snap frame anymore, but I'm sure they are available in a wide variety of places, so I'll look around for some links.

Hello, I can’t wait to try this! What size is your q-snap frame?

@gettheetothestitchery

2 жыл бұрын

My frame is about 15x17 inches!

I wonder if using wash away sulky interfacing would have been a better option... Not that it matters now, but for the future, do you think that would have worked?

@gettheetothestitchery

It definitely would work! I just personally have a major issue with getting my pieces wet, so I don't like to use anything that has to be washed away.

Will you be doing an updated color guide for Etsy?

I will! Unfortunately, it'll be quite a while before it comes out, but I'm loving the new colors scheme so far!

I want to do this! Where do you get the frame that you are using?

I got it on amazon, but I've definitely seen some in craft stores too. It's generally called a Q-snap frame or a quilters frame.

Can I ask what pen you used to trace? Does it fade away with heat? Does it disappear all together?

@gettheetothestitchery

2 жыл бұрын

I use a Pilot FRIXION pen, which erases with heat, so I usually blow dry or iron it to make the lines disappear when I'm done. They can leave ghost marks on some fabrics, especially dyed ones, so I always test them out before using them on a new material, but on this, they fade away entirely!

how do you print the pattern on your shop which i bought to the size you did for 15 inches tall

How did you print your pattern out? I bought your pattern from Etsy but can’t seem to get it scaled correctly.

@gettheetothestitchery

2 жыл бұрын

It really depends on what size you are trying to make it and what programs you have available to you. I use multiple sheets of paper and print a portion of the pattern on each page, which you can do really easily by cropping the image in Preview. Then I line up the pages and tape them together before tracing the design onto fabric!

What stitch did you do for the black lines?

It's all single strand backstitch!

can you explain why you blow dry it?? does it erase that pen in you put a link to?

@gettheetothestitchery

Yes! The pens are heat erasable, so you can iron or blow dry the fabric to make the marks disappear!

I would love to do big projects like this but I get so sick of doing the same stitch over and over again. Do you have this problem and, if so, how do you deal with that?

@gettheetothestitchery

I kind of don't have a problem with it, quite honestly. I think I'm more likely to get bored if I don't have a good TV show to watching while stitching. Changing colors and angles and sections definitely brings a sense of "woohoo!" to it as well.... I do find myself getting bored of stitching in general sometimes, but I don't think I'm bothered at all by doing the same stitch for a long time.

This is awesome I’m so gonna live through you for this I wanna learn embroidery so bad 🪡🧵
