In this video tutorial, Yvette teaches you how to make traditional Norwegian knotted picots as were used in historical examples of Hardanger embroidery. These picots can be used anywhere picots are required, such as in Hardanger embroidery, on needlelace edgings, drawn thread borders etc. She shows examples of picots used on the cuff and collars […] Today’s White Threads FlossTube video has an explanation of thread twist, and how it relates to the teaching of left-handed students when right-handed teachers say “sit opposite me and mirror what I do”. Even if you’re not a teacher of embroidery (and maybe you are more than you realise), there is lots of interesting stuff […] In a much-requested demonstration, Yvette shows you how to do Sardinian knot stitch, for both left- and right-handers. She also talks you through an example of Sardinian knotted embroidery, known as Punt ’e nù in Teulada, in Sardinia. If you’re reading this in an email, the video can be found at https://youtu.be/k8Dv836kvXI Episode notes: […] Today’s video is an old one that I’ve not previously shared with you. It takes you through the process of creating an embroidery with many different stitches, on felt. I created the video about five years ago as something for people to watch at my stand at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair. When the […] Some people go on a book tour when they release a new book. I’ve never done this, but I thought I could instead take you on a tour of some of my books. I know that some of you have been along for the ride since the beginning but some of you are newer to […] As a left-handed embroiderer, I like to celebrate International Left-Handers Day. As a left-handed embroidery teacher, I love having left-handed students (I love right-handed ones too, but the lefties are special!) Happy International Left-Handers Day to all the lefties out there! In the past month, I had a bit of scare. My wrists started to hurt. For me, that sort of thing could be career ending! When I realised that it was definitely a thing, and I wasn’t imagining it, I was very scared. So, off to the doctor I went. He diagnosed – and this […] Today (August 13th, which is tomorrow for some!) is International Left-Handers Day. Celebrate with me by doing some left-handed embroidery! For many left-handers, it isn’t too ridiculous to say that getting their own copy of The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion, made the world of difference to their embroidery. Each year at the craft show, I […] Today is International Left-Handed Day, and as I am left-handed, I do enjoy the fact that we get our own special day! I’ve had many interactions over the years with other left-handed stitchers, and many have loved having me as a left-handed embroidery teacher. I have heard horror story after horror story of them being […] |
