Hi Sarah,
Great blog post, I can see you put some effort in here.
This tutorial is superb, it tells me exactly what to do to create the stich 🙂
Hi Sarah,
First your work is so amazing, I love it. Can you please tell how to follow your blog?
I cannot get the url in my Google Reader list. So I’ll get all the updates in my list.
One day I even may attend one of your workshops if I can combine my travel in India and the workshop. Well that’s all for the future and hoping it may come true.
Regards,

Hi. These tutorials are fantastic. I can very clearly see how to do each stitch. Most tutorials for this stuff I find are usually very inadequate.
I’m new to the embroidery idea. I have a friend who wants a script embroidered onto velvet, probably using a glittery thread like gold or silver, can you recommend which stitches to concentrate on for writing words in this situation. As I said I am new and would appreciate a little guidance here from the experts 🙂 Thanks heaps
Dear Seline,
I suppose the letters you will use will be small as your friend wants to embroider a script. So, I would suggest satin stitch. You could use rows of chain stitch or split stitch too, but since she will use metallic thread over velvet, I am not too sure if it is such a good idea.
I hope this helps.
salam sarah how r u?
