As someone who has been embroidering for a long time, I just want to say, you have a lot to be happy with here AND you made some Important observations as you went along. That's what helps build skill! It's much easier to embroider on fabric not meant for cross stitch. French knots are difficult at first. I hated them when I first started, so just practice. Just use scrap fabric and just make knot after knot. It's also a good way to practice stitches you've never done or haven't done in a while. It's a great way to learn. It's like warming up and sketching before moving to your final piece. I SUPER loved your enthusiasm and willingness to experiment! That's what makes trying any new creative art fun!

I'm an embroidery artist, and this is very impressive for your first try! I would recommend not using cross stitch fabric, as the holes are much to big and it has a stiffening agent that keeps the holes open, but dosen't allow you to get through where there isn't a hole. You don't need to use knots when working on embroidery, mainly because they clutter the back of the piece, won't allow it to lay flat in a frame. All you need to do to secure is to make a stitch, then when the loop is in the back, put the tail in between and pull it down. Nothing will move. You can also cut the string, and later stitches will secure it down. If worse comes to worse, put nail polish on the back to hold everything down.

Haha ,

For a first attempt, you did amazing! Some tips: 1. You don't take off the labels on the skeins of floss. Just grab a free end and pull gently, and it should come out in one long, unknotted strand. (The labels keep it from tangling.). Soooo much easier to wrap your floss bobbins that way. 2. Floss isn't meant to be used with all of its strands straight from the skein. They compress in shipping/storage and don't work as well. If you want to use six strands, it's still best to separate them first so they puff back up and look shinier. To do it, grab one strand, pull about an inch, then lightly pinch the top of the rest of the strands. Pull the strand you want, and the other five will sort of bunch up as you pull that one free. Don't panic -- that's what it's supposed to do. :D. Then just gently run your fingers over the leftover strands in the opposite direction and they'll straighten right out without tangling. :) 3. If you want all six strands, the easiest thing to do is to pull three from the initial strand, double the length you want them. Then fold those in half and put the loop created by the fold through your needle eye. You'll end up with six strands threaded, with a loop at the end. Then just start your embroidery and put the needle through that loop on the backside of your fabric -- no knots needed. Makes the back much easier to navigate (no knot to contend with!) and cleaner. I think those are the biggies -- you did great for a first timer!

So the fabric you are using is typically meant for cross stitching, aida cloth. You can really use anything. A good beginning fabric would be cotton/muslin because it doesn’t stretch. I hope this helps! (Now I want to try embroidery on aida cloth to see what I can do with it.)

A good embroidery hack is splitting the thread in half if you want a thinner stitch and for when you tie the knot it doesn't go into big clumps. What I mean by splitting it is *most* embroidery floss has 6 mini thread in it so if you split it in half you will only use 3 and it saves you some thread! I hope this helped!! 😅

Hi, Rin!! Pro-tip for French Knots: Come up through the back of your fabric, wrap the thread around your needle 3 times, then go back through the fabric *near* the hole that you just made... If you go through the same hole, the knot will just slip right through, but if you go too far over, it won’t look like a knot. Hopefully, this helps!

I'm not the most experienced with embroidery, but the fabric you are using is made for cross stitching (you might enjoy that too! Think pixel art with fabric and thread). The holes are to help guide the cross stitching, but embroidery can be done on a wide range of fabrics. Also, for the french knot, it might not work because you are going through the same hole that the needle enters the front from. After wrapping the needle with thread, push the needle through the fabric in another spot that is close to the hole, but not the same.

A tip for doing the bubble things, I am in no way a “professional” at embroidery, but I have done it before. After you rapped the thread around the needle I think you put it back into the same space where you came in, so next time just put it right next to where you came in. And you don’t need to secure it with another stitch either. Hope this helped! 💕

I really got into embroidery over quarantine and one of the first things I started working on was a hoop of just practicing the stitches. I found it really helpful, and since I labeled them its easy to look them up if I forget how to do it!

Embroidery typically doesn’t use Aida but it can. A lot of people use even weave for embroidery. Really most of the difference between the two is the stitches used. Embroidery uses a lot of different stitches and cross stitching uses the cross stitch and then the running stitch for outlines with the occasional French knot.

Embroidery is SO much fun, and being able to draw gives you the opportunity to make original pieces! I started learning like a year ago and I fell in love with it. Some tips: - Buy a pen/pencil that's meant for this that way it washes out and doesn't show through. They're like $2. - to measure out strands use your arms. One arm length, double one arm, or the span across both arms outstretched, depending on what you need. - get in the habit of checking the back every few stitches to make sure it's not knotting. - there's definitely a rhyme and reason to how you lay out your stitching that makes the end result look seamless and beautiful so try to think ahead and not go over what you've already done. It's not as forgiving as pencil drawing 😉 - often times it's best to split the floss depending on the stitch and the pattern so keep that in mind. It's not often that the whole 6 strand floss is used, in my experience. - try doing a French knot along with a tutorial. They're really tricky but your technique could use some work as well, I think you'll catch on quicker once you see what I mean. But I still mess them up to this day sometimes because it requires so much practice! Another sidenote: that fabric looked like Aida which is the fabric used for cross stitching. But I may be wrong. Cross stitching is also quite fun 😊

When you're looking to make more details (e.g. line art and color blending) you can split the floss so that there's less threads. Normally it has 6 so if you split it into 3 it will be half as thick :) Also it uses less thread so you don't have to buy as much!

I've been dabbling in embroidery a bit lately too! Highly recommend yard sales for materials accumulation (pandemic times aside) I've got a massive thread collection now 💚

You did amazing! Especially for your first embroidery piece😊🙌 I would recommend fabric with a finer weave (though you already figured that out) and a water soluble pen or pencil to draw your design with. I usually use more lightweight fabric and water soluble stabilizer so that it's sturdy enough for me to really pull on the threads. You may also want to look at how many strands of embroidery floss you're using with each stitch. You can separate out the individual strands to get finer details. Try new things if you think you like embroidery and just do what works with you. Some projects don't need fancy stitches to fill in things like flat colour or to outline. French knots are hard, so don't feel bad lol. Everybody does things differently and there are so many cool things you can do with threads, ribbons, buttons, and scraps of fabric added to your work. Edit: YOU ALREADY MASTERED THE FRENCH KNOT?!!! And I love how beautiful the 'Blub!' one turned out!❤️ I would really love to see you do more embroidery 😊

IT LOOKS AMAZING! Honestly, your one of the best artists I’ve ever watched

A little bit of advice for your satin stitch is the way you stitch from the back. You don't need the long stitches on the back, it'll make things bulkier and easier to knot. If you alternate where you come up from you'll have small stitches on the back that won't tangle your thread so easily or use as much thread. Also, DMC thread is made of six individual strands of thread and you can easily thin it by pulling one or more strands out of the original piece. There are specific markers to draw on fabric that are washable also, if you find your graphite shows through afterward. You may also want to look up how to "weave in" embroidery threads. It cuts down bulk and keeps it way more secure to weave them in. But you did a gorgeous job on the front and that's all that really matters in the end! ❤ I hope it doesn't look like micromanaging or too mean or anything. Just trying to make embroidery easier for you so you enjoy it and keep doing it!!!

Great job! To restate what others have said, you really have a lot to be proud of, especially for a beginner! A couple of things to help (I don’t know whether anyone else had mentioned these): -That fabric is for cross stitching (thread pixel art), so you will definitely want something else for this kind of embroidery. -I always do the lines first because then I can cover it without worrying about losing sight of the lines. -I like to let my French knots travel a little (and not put it back through the exact same hole), so when I pull it tight it doesn’t jump out of the fabric. That lets you make smaller knots, too. -shorter strings are helpful so you don’t get knots when you pull through-and you can use as many pieces of thread as you need. There’s no rule that says you have to get it all in one. -Shorter stitches can help with curves, but I have found that varying the length helps when putting curves on thickly-woven fabrics Again, great job! Thank you for the entertainment!

I've been doing embroidery for a few months and I couldn't help but laugh when you first tried to wind up your thread around the bobbin and hit that massive knot! That happened to me SO many times when I started out. It gets less frequent with practice, but the best tip I can give is to be very careful about pulling those knots tighter, tension is NOT your friend there!

Rin: "Do I look an embridery master to you?" Also Rin: **leaves the thread tangled* omg I love your videos lol

Hi waffles! I love doing embroidery and was so excited when I saw this video! And you did such an amazing job for being so new at it! I love how you used the different colors and added the shading, it looks lovely! I do have a couple tips that might help you but feel free to do your own thing as well. First of all, I think you're using cross-stitch fabric, which is meant to be grided like that with the holes, instead of more normal fabric. I've never seen it used for embroidery but it actually looks really cool? So I have a new thing to try! For your thread, embroidery floss is made up of 6 strands usually, and you can actually split it into 2, or 3, if you want thinner lines v.s thicker lines. My default is 2 strands and I use more or less depending on thickness desired. This also means you use up less floss, as one cut piece can yield 2-3 pieces instead. Also if you have problems with the thread getting tangled as you go, every once and a while you can check and see if it is getting coiled or twisted and just it hang freely to un-coil? I guess? The longer you make the strand, the more it tends to tangle as well. Mostly you just have to notice it and fix it as it happens haha. Please let me know if you have any questions! I loved watching you do this, it was so awesome to see you learn and you def did an good job with your reasearch! (I didn't learn about the satin stitch for like years after I started doing embroidery.) I hope you had fun doing it! I'd love to see you try again sometime :D

The important thing about French knots is keeping the thread taught! I’ve been embroidering for two~ years now, and that took me so long!

when you're trying to neatly unwrap your thread, dont take the plastic off, find the end that is already exposed on the outside of the plastic band and pull from there. if you pull slowly, it shouldn't tangle at all, or if it does you'll be able to fix it easily. i'm very inexperienced at embroidering but this beginner tip saved me so much time with the prep and let me get into the actual embroidering faster!

ngl it made me laugh when you said "oh this is definitely not the right fabric" - I'm not all the way through the video yet but it's aida for cross-stitching c: kinda cool to see how it works on aida though!! been looking to get into embroidery

Tip: If you want to work with longer threads, you could wax it so it will tangle less. Like, just rub the thread in a candle first.

Many, many eons ago as a child I learned to cross stitch and embroider. I only just figured out how to do a French knot like two years ago, so you're actually really great on the learning curve on that! It looks good and you were able to wing it which is an enviable attitude. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Now about fabric. What you've got there is aida cloth and it's nice for cross stitching or anything you might want a grid for. Getting smooth lines is easier with tinier stitches and having them mapped out for you doesn't allow you to maneuver. Like painting with a really big paintbrush and nothing else.

i am so grateful and amazed :” not only do you inspire and encourage me to draw and paint but other art forms too !!

I have wanted to do this for a while, hopefully this will help. Also the thumbnail looks good, Im excited to watch. :)

Girl, get you an embroidery pattern pencil from Walmart or a craft store 😊 they're only like $2 and they wash off.

As a person who does a fair bit of embroidery as a hobby, it is so cool to see someone trying it out like this! :) some tips: your fabric here is for cross stitching not really embroidery, I'd recommend a "quilting" cotton or any mostly cotton fabric; you are actually supposed to separate the strands of the embroidery floss (usually into groups of 2 or 3 or single strands); it generally works best to draw on the fabric before you put it in the hoop (and don't cut the fabric down until you are done with the embroidery for safety in case of fraying); also for good embroidery knots, look up the quilter's knot, it is super easy to do and to adjust sizes based on your fabric and the number of strands of your floss. Again really fun to watch, hope to see you keep learning and trying out new embroidery stuffs :)

I've done embroidery art for years and this turned out really well! keep at embroidery! My biggest advice is don't get hung up on perfection or getting a stitch to look exactly like a tutorial or whatever you learned it from. Make your own techniques if you want! as long as you're happy with it that's all that matters

Omg i use to do embroidery with my grandma it’s super fun but really hard to do 😂

you can say that again! but what a fun memory to have!

WE LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOU WAFFLES!!!!! THANKS FOR BEING AMAZING 😭😭

I started doing embroidery when I was 7 , I love it . I just started learning to crochet and I am really enjoying it.

I did an embroidery class once 😅 and the only main tip I remember is, for each different shape you should use new thread because using it all at once on one shape will make it get knotted easier and if you need to take out stitches it will be easier and less messy from all the crossing around! Also next time, try do the line art first (it will be easier!) and try get a fabric with very small holes! I’ll try check for the one I use! 😄 hope this helped a bit! I love blub fish so much!

Hey waffles!! You actually grabbed cross stitch fabric instead of embroidery fabric from what im seeing. You can find embroidery fabric on Amazon I’m pretty sure.

She always give me inspiration when I feel like drawing

I’ve been binging your videos all week! And I love embroidery! Thanks for so much fun and learning as usual.

For french knots... Don't go back into the same hole! Go into the spot just next to the hole that you came up through. ☺️ Also, don't cut your fabric so close when you trim it. If you leave some extra space it'll ensure you have enough to wrap around the back when you frame your finished pieces. You definitely did a fantastic job for your first real attempt!

“I know a couple of the stitches ... from watching them... not from actually doing them...” How Sheldon taught himself to swim. 😂

I would definitely love to see another embroidery video. I love watching you try new things!

I really loved the sound when she put the needle and pulled it out! It felt so satisfying

I got a lot of stuff done today that I've been putting off for a while, so I'm treating myself to this video

My sister just got into embroidery so I was really glad to be able to share one of my favorite KZreadrs with her!

Your videos never fail to cheer me up. Thank you for such awesome content and always exploring and encouraging people to learn and grow. To try, learn, try again, learn more. I've re-dedicated to doing art this last year and something about the journey vs destination has finally clicked. You had a hand in that. Thank you.

Wow you’re good at every kind of art! Drawing, painting, embroidering, sculpting... the list goes on! You’re the best!

This made me draw 42 blob fish and make a whole spread featuring them

And now I kinda want to see :p

Rin: flawlessly embroidering for the first time and making masterpieces Me: *Puts thimbles on all fingers cause I'm such a klutz😂*

So I find that it helps if I unravel the floss and use only 2 - 4 treads, less knots. That adds different textures even if you use the same knots! I also don’t knot the end of my floss, I leave an extra bit of a tail and overlap the stitches so it’s secure! For fabric that looks like similar to what most cross stitchers use, similar but a bit different. I prefer using muslin or cotton, lower thread count makes it easier to pull the needle through! I’m still learning but these tips have helped me :) Blubbfish turned out so good! Love it 🤩

Thank you so much for showing your learning process. It’s nice to know that everyone has trouble at first.

I’ve always wanted to try embroidery lol
