Hi Sara
I am teaching my nine-year old daughter embroidery from this site. Everything is systematic and clear. All the more she is interested in the new hobby.
Thanks a lot for sharing and helping us make memories.

Dear Tres,
We are so glad that our website is helping your daughter in finding a new hobby. I hope she enjoys it as much as learning it with you.
You can upload some of her work here on our website and share it with the other learners.
Kind regards,
Sarah
P.S. Please excuse my late late response. I was caught in travels and some wedding preparations in the family. But, I wanted to respond as soon as I got a chance.
Hello Sarah, I really want to learn more about chikankari especially….the jali work. Its so beautiful. Plz add a tutorial about it.
This stitch is really beautiful. It is simple but looks elegant. Thanksa lot.
Your tutorials are too good Sarah… I was wondering why I didn’t get to you earlier.
You actually make iit seem really easy with your presentation however I find tis matter
to be actually something which I think I would
never understand. It seems too complex and very extensive for me.
I am taking a look forwrd for your next post, I will try to get the
hang of it!

Your tutorials are too good Sarah… I was wondering why I didn’t get to you earlier. I jus spoiled a few napkins of mine trying to learn hand embroidery. Your tutorials are so simple and the stitches so pretty. Thanks Sarah for helping me.

I really like this stitch. I am a beginner and for some reason this stitch really draws me. I think that so far, your site is the best for instruction. I really appreciate what you are doing here. I have a need to create things and sometimes I don’t have a clue about where to start. You have made it easy. Thanks again!!
I real love your all the patterns.Thank for being so helpful and generous.
Love this site! Thank you for your time & effort to provide this.
Olha, sempre falei, quando me aposentar iria me dedicar ao bordado, os planos mudaram e comecei fazendo biju (fiz de tudo), migrei pra decupagem em MDF, artesanato com material reciclado, adoro, fiz muitas coisas interessantes, no momento estou me dedicando a elaboras gola colar, mas me deparei com esse maravilhoso site, que ensina as técnicas dos pontos de uma maneira que só em olhar dá pra fazer, já andei pesquisando a respeito, mas nada se compara com esse. Parabéns, pelas postagens, pois está abençoando muitas vidas com seus ensinamentos, bjus
Caro Dilce,
É bom ouvir que nossas páginas têm impressionado você, por sua vez, inspirando-os a assumir os seus planos originais de fazer bordados após a aposentadoria. Eu espero que você aproveite cada página e iria partilhar alguns de seus trabalhos com a gente. Todos os melhores votos em cada coisa que você faz.
hi sarah,
I have been referring to your site for a long time now. I like the way stitching has been made so simple. i am adding a link of your website for reference of stitches in one of my blog post on stitching in march. hope you don’t mind.
Hello dear friend,
I have started again to practice embroidery stitches and found your clear and lovely tutorials in Utube. I have not done embroidery for a while after my first and only course, I forgot a lot. I am planing to continue my crazy quilt cushion. It is so pretty and my husband tells me he would like to see it completed.
Again, thanks for sharing your art!
Best wishes to your family
Your friend Ruth
Hello Ruth,
Hope all is well with you. It is surprising that you found my tutorials in youtube since I have never uploaded anything there!!!
Anyway, I am happy to hear back from you. I would liek to see your projects completed and would ask if you could upload a picture of it on our website so others could draw inspiration from you. 🙂
Dear Sarah,

Dear Sarah,
It is very nice to know that you found our pages easy to learn from and it is helping your school work too. 🙂
Dear Sarah,
Your site is just amazing. I have finally found a site which clears all my doubts, and deepens my interest in embroidery.
I stumbled upon this site while i was looking for chikan embroidery tutorials and patterns.
Chicken embroidery with mughal designs interest me a lot. Please incorporate the entire range of chikan stitches in your tutorials like tepchi, jali work. murri etc, patterns too. i would also love to learn how to make needle lace.
Please also incorporate an elaborate peacock design which i can make on a sari pallu.
Thanks for all the beautiful tutorials.
Regards,
Vibha
Dear Vibha,
It is nice to read this comment from you. Thanks for your interest. 🙂
I will be adding traditional indian embroidery and other stitches slowly. It takes time and effort to create these tutorials and your interest and suggestions come as encouragement for us.
