A helpful embroidery site

So, I'll start it off...hopefully everyone received the invitation, I guess you wouldn't be looking here if you hadn't. I've been doing a lot of embroidery lately and was having some problems remembering some of the stitches we learned in Fibers I....and books aren't always the clearest, especially for a left hander. I found this website while looking for some descriptions and I LOVE it so I thought I'd share. They have video instructions for pretty much any stitch you could want!

Scroll down to the bottom to see all the stitches.

Hope you like!

  1. Awesome!

    I have a really good book of stitches that shows how to do them really super clearly...I'll bring it in if I remember!
