Nice words about Practical Embroidery
You are a great teacher!
I could not figure out how to do this stitch. I watched a bunch of videos and looked at my books and nothing clicked, until I watched your video and followed your instructions.
Thank you!
Hands down the best video that clearly show and explain this stitch.
This was PERFECT
I’m just starting the Sashiko project, and just finished the embroidery project with DSM threads. I won’t make the mistake to use the wrong threads now!!
Wonderful!
Finally, a demo I can understand… thanks so much!
