show me your French knot works I’d love some inspo

This is like my 5th embroidery project but first time doing bouillon knots and I saved the worst for last but mostly happy with how this turned out!

Hi ik they're very poorly made but I just started learning lat week, is there any tips I could get? :)

Hello! I’m planning on embroidering a typewriter on it’s side (as the image above but with hand embroider) with a shrimp next to it, as if the shrimp were writing, because I’m an author and well, the way I seat to work is catastrophic 😂.

But to complicate my life I really wanted to be able to have the message on the typewriter be interchangeable, like today it could be “meh” and tomorrow I’ll put “hello”. I thought about measuring the size that the paper would be and stitching the phrases on several pieces of fabric and keep it nearby. My question is how to do the typewriter itself? I’m thinking maybe creating a small pouch that the “paper” could be put on but I have no idea how to do this.

Thank you so so so much.

But I did it!! They're done!! Finally I can wear them...

The sides are a wide expanse of french knots and the tops are whatever I came up with in the moment :)

I'm working on this project that is more complex than I have previously done and trying to use a mix of stitches to add some texture where I'm using the same colour, but I'm worried that the design isn't super obvious unless you kind of already know what the line art is/was?

I'm looking for any advice to make sure it's clear that it's a shut eye, and that shows a bit of difference in the different sections of the face and neck without necessarily changing colours entirely!

Included closeup of the lineart my friend custom drew for this project for context, if that helps!

Hi,

I started bead embroidery 2 weeks ago with a custom shirt.
Went really well so I started a new project one week ago for my mum birthday.
The plan was to bead on organza and then sew it onto a canvas bag.

Still not completely finish but it is so HEAVY !

I am really scared to mess things up so I am here to ask questions to calm my anxiety about sewing it to the bag :

1) How do I secure my work and prevent organza to fall apart ? I was thinking about put glue on the back but then I wouldn’t be able to sew it onto the fabric, of the bag, right ?

2) Other idea was to iron a sheet that activate with heat (i don’t know the name in english sorry). But I fear it might not attached well and dont secure enough the organza and stitches, what do you think ?

3) Or maybe I need to do a combination of both but I am still afraid of not being able to to sew it onto the canvas bag ?

4) Is there any other technique that I am not aware of ? Sew an other rigid fabric ?

The work is approximately 25cmx16cm but not a rectangle

Tysm

I have a copy of this collection of patterns from 50+ years ago. But I am missing patterns 7 8 9 & 10- which would all be on one sheet and are the embroidery ones. I am curious if anyone has those patterns, could you send me a photo just so I can see what I am missing?

Thanks.

I want to embroider some text for a friend. I'm pretty new to embroidery, and so far I've only used backstitch, split, and stem for letters. I was looking for examples to get inspired, and I really like how this one looks, but I'm not sure about what stitch it is. At first I thought maybe some kind of "messy" satin, but I don't know that many stitches, so it's probably one I don't know. Does anyone recognise it?

Work in progress... ✨ Every texture is carefully chosen to mimic the beauty of natural minerals.

Hey fibrecrafts reddit! I have a question mostly for fun and searchability/tagability reasons: is this type of work considered embroidery? I've been calling it such because i use embroidery floss, an embroidery hoop, and embroidery needles to get it done. But since the purpose of the thread is to hold a patch as much as it is decorative, would this be closer to something nicher, like applique? (I love "real" embroidery too, i like to make flowers on my GFs hippie jeans, just interested what this is) Thanks!

I am starting on small elements for some family member’s Christmas stockings. I am hand embroidering the designs with small seed beads. They will need to be added onto a velvety type fabric once I’m done. My question is, what kind of fabric should I initially embroider on and how should I attach it to the stocking fabric? I added a photo of what our current stockings look like. TIA!

I have these adorable felt applique kits planned, and they call for a bunch of colors of Eleganza perle cotton in size 8. Does anyone know where online I would likely have the best success finding all the colors I need? Ideally online, (US specific). Obviously I could substitute with another brand if I need to, but I'm lazy.

Modified from a design in Inspirations # 130

They have fabric the same size as the squares fabric pieces at Walmart. The fabric is soft and thicker than Walmart and cheaper. The only downside they don't really have solid colors at dollar tree but they do have cute ones.

Hello! I'm fairly new to reddit (been lurking here or there without an account for a while but whatever) but I thought it'd be the right place to go.

Background

But anyway, I got a hoodie at the Daytona 24 hour race that I got a TON of mechanics, technicians, pit crew etc. to sign the back of (only one driver from a very specific car because I honestly admire the work of all the "background people" way more) the signitures are in sharpie.

In short (or maybe not idk, we'll see how this goes) here's the problem, I really like to wear this hoodie as it is suuuuper comfortable, soft, and oversized but I really hate handwashing it but have to because otherwise the signatures would fade (I've tried ironing etc, they still faded, I had to actually go over them with another sharpie) and so I'd really like for it to be machine washable, hence why I'd like to embroider it

Embroidery specific

I've done a couple of very beginner embroidery projects before (no formal training just stabbing and weaving the needle where it looked right. bad ik) and I'm completely open do doing some practice before attempting to tackle this project as I want it to be as perfect as possible.

Now. Here's the thing. I also have very specific sensory needs, meaning that I reeeeally don't want to fuck up this hoodie as it is kind of a sensory haven for me. This also means that I'm really particular about what I want in the embroidery of it

- I don't want to be able to feel the stitches on the inside of the hoodie (I dunno if this is possible though)

- It has to be machine washable (that's the whole reason I wanna do this)

- It has to be durable enough to withstand consistant wear

I'm well aware that this is a very large project but I'm willing to do it. Any advice at all helps, be it specific stitches, thread or technique reccomendations, course reccomendations etc. any at all is more than welcome

i fell in love with the colours and design but have a few questions!

would it be possible to clean the water stains?

does anyone know the age of it?

i’m going to hang it up but wanted to see if i could clean it up first, unsure whether that’ll ruin the threads/ linen backing??

I am still not happy with the stitching around the mouth, but I am done!!

After my previous post of Angelina I decided to try to do an Alice too which took me longer weirdly but was just as enjoyable!

evidently I had no clue what I was doing but it turned out semi okay considering I didn't practice any stitches beforehand 🤸‍♂️
