I am 75 and have not embroidered since a teenager! But am now eager to try this on paper pieces for on journal pages. Thanks so much for guiding us. Blessings.

Roxy...Just gorgeous...Little tidbits of Spring! How precious and a keepsake of needlework from a talented artist! Just what we need to see right now a fresh bit of sweet!

I think these are absolutely wonderful...I enjoyed it so much. This is something I can do in the evening when watching telly.

Thank you Rachael for explaining the knots. I only knew the french knot. Nice for a change.

Thank you so much for the tip with knotting the thread. I’m new to slow stitch etc and I love watching you

To watch your videos are so relaxing and inspire me to do things with scraps. Thank you for sharing your art.

Stitchery heaven, Rachel....happiness is a needle and thread, smiling, Carol...

Lovely ideal using another element for these clusters. Thanks for sharing! 😊

Love these mini works of art Rachel. Can't wait to have a go. 💕🙋‍♀️💖

Love that idea-stitching on the little cards. I have used 1 strand of 2 or 3 different colored threads when I didn’t have variegated thread, and it works pretty well.

Those clusters are prescious and adorable. I love them

These are really special Rachel. They elevate a project from beautiful to treasure. ❤️❤️❤️

This reminds me of those sewing cards that had premade holes in them and kids took yarn and stitched around the cards!!

These are absolutely lovely, and add such a personal touch to a piece. Beautiful work. And I learned a new way to knot a needle. I've been sewing for 55 years, and Sarah's way is so much easier. Thank you.

Super cute. My first love is Needle work.

So beautiful Rachel. I've just started slow stitching as another means of slowing the mind. So this was perfect. Thank you. In these unusual times you have become even more of a comforting ritual for me.

Rachel, these are beautiful! What a grand idea. Love, love. 🌹🌹 sending you prayers for continued good health for you and family.

The clusters are so sweet. Great idea. Thank you for sharing

You are an amazing talented woman. I think you were reading my mind. Embroidery is so hard to come by (along with so many other things), so I have been watching some embroidery videos so I can make some of my own. You not only in less than an hour taught me some simple but beautiful stitches but also that I can do it on paper. Thank you, thank you! If would like to share more, I would love to learn! I hope you know what an inspiration and amazing teacher you are. You are my mentor, really and truly!

Oh my gosh those are so beautiful xxxx another idea to try 💖 thanks so much Rachel x

Oh my goodness! I remember using the 930's in the 80's when I was cross stitching 24 hours a day!

Oh I love the added embroidery, Rachel! Such a beautiful touch! Btw...I’m watching you embroider while I’m doing my cross stitch. LOL thanks so much for sharing. I always enjoy watching you craft. Hugs, Sharron 💗🤗🌸

Love love love this! I’ve not embroidered for many years but I definitely need to try this. I think a few would look lovely bun the wedding book I need to finish up!! Thanks so much. Hugs

Thank you for this. I got out my supplies and worked along with you. My need to visit with another human has been met. Love to you from a fellow crafter in Kansas.

Excellent idea Rachel. I ordered myself some white embroidery floss and going to colour it myself in varigated colours with my alcohol markers.

I loved the pretty stitch-work embellishing your pieces. ✂️🧵 made my heart sing!

Oh Wow they are amazingly beautiful Rachel. And Thank you for the little tips about making the knot and putting the left over cotton through the hole in the card. I will be doing both. Stay safe x

Pensé que era la única loca en éste planeta que le gusta la costura a mano. Hago mis portadas y tarjetitas todas con éste tipo de costura, y es muy relajante. Besos . Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱 🌷🦋❤

Love this! Great project in front of tv. 🤗

Too cute for words, Rachel. I LOVE this tutorial ❤️ 💕 😍 Carmen from the Maryland Eastern Shore

These are really fun, Rachel! I love the first one with the little tiny flowers on the end of random green stems. And I like that these are little and manageable, you know? Not intimidating for us non-expert sewers who like to play.

I made 13 today. Loved making these. Thanks for the tutorial.

It's just a genius idea, must try it out. Thank you for sharing.

This is fabulous! I have a ton of those variegated floss and now I know what to use them for! I bought a tin of floors from a second hand store! And I love how you do your French knots as well! I never really got the way they were made! Thanks so much for sharing!❤️📕❤️

LOVE LOVE LOVE. I have wanted to do embroidery on paper forever but couldnt figure out the best way to alter the stitches. My mom was the one that always made the perfect tiny stitches so I wasnt sure how to translate it. Perfect. Thanks Rachel!

These are just lovely! I learned embroidery as a young girl from my mother. I was always amazed at how beautiful her work was! I loved making French knots, but I often pulled them right through! Haha! Thanks for the inspiration. 😃

Wow Rachel this is another good idea. I like the idea of hand stitching on paper. Thanks for sharing such a fun project.😍🌴

These look like heirlooms. Love!!

These are so adorable! Love watching you stitch.

I love this. Definitely going to try.

This makes is so much more personal. I learned to embroider when I was young and have always loved handwork.

Love the stitching

I haven't embroidered since I found cross-stitch (YEARS ago)!! Great idea!

it s very very beautiful, you are a good good teacher, thank you very much

So beautiful. Such a great idea. Now i am going to have to dig out all of my embroidery thread to try this myself. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe.

I love the ones with the knots Rachel. Very pretty.

“A wee little video” … is that even possible? 🤣 Well, it WAS under an hour, so you could say ‘wee’. At any rate, it was a lovely video, watching you make clusters. Did I almost climb out of bed in the middle of the night to make clusters? I had to fight the urge, but this morning, I’m surrounded by tons of scraps. It’s fun! Thank you for sharing and inspiring! Xo 😘

thank you i so enjoyed watching you sewing...

Love the embroidery....

Ingenious. Love that idea of embroidered clusters...so sweet and a few touches would look adorable on cards or baby quilts. I think I will give that a try.

So much fun, I love it

Rachel, they are just beautiful! I showed my 8 year old granddaughter a snippet of your teaching. She is a lefty and sometimes it’s hard for her when I show her. She practices on a muslin scrap. I have always felt that you have inspired me since I saw your Jessie Cooley piece!! Thanks so much. I love hearing what is going on in Italy, I’m in the US and not every state thinks this virus is real. It’s crazy. Rachel you keep me grounded, so Thank you so much! 💕💞

I’m making a journal for a friend’s birthday and I was looking for lovely things to include. These are definitely going in. 🙏

Very cute, nice addition to your wonderful clusters. Enjoyed the tutorial, stay safe.

I could not find utube for hen's teeth, so enjoyed today's utube!

Roxy, These are so cute! Thank you so much for sharing.

I LOVE these. I'm going to have to try to make some.

Oh my how gorgeous these are, and what an amazing personal touch.

You can cut the tip of kitchen gloves and use it for a thimble. It's really helps to grip the needle.

Only just caught up with this...only a year later. Absolutely love this and thinking of making postcard stories with clusters. Thanks so much. Love the way you change your mind as you go along.

Your wee embroidered clusters are adorable!!😊

I love this idea. I always enjoyed embroidery. My mother made the most luscious French knots. I am going to get mine it tomorrow and see if I still have it. Love the looks on a cluster.

what a lovely idea I have done embroidery for many years and have put some flowers on my watercolour paintings but never thought to use them on snippets tfs Rachel. have a blessed day Nicole UK

That is just so pretty!!!!

Oh my !!!! I love this very much tomorrow I'm conna make this too thank you 😁🎉🎊

Oh I love these , how pretty tfs xx

Just a wee hello from Edinburgh Scotland. Loving watching your vids, big smiles Tish 🌺

Love these.

Pretty idea Rachel.

Wow!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Must try!!! Thanks!!

Very awesome! Great idea for a video. Love them all!

Outstanding! Thx for all of the embroidery tips!

I LOVE this video. I am now going to embroider some ephemera....

Loved the cute handstitching tags. You are very Talented my sweet friend❤Thanks so much

I love this. I hate making French knots. What you call a Colonial Knot we in the US usually call a half-French knot, I like Colonial better. I think it is easier for left handed people to do French Knots. My aunt and great aunt started me embroidering and they could do them easily and both were left handed. Me and my sister struggled with them and then when my daughter, who left handed came along I taught her and she could breeze through them. LOL. I love this project. Please show us your applacaid , excuse the spelling.

Off subject but, we managed to finally get a bag of normal flour, not special pizza flour but we did get one and we are going to make Stef’s pizza all day tomorrow!!!! Lol. 🇬🇧😻xxx yummy!

Thank you for sharing this with us. I love it

So precious. I have to give this a try. Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas. Be safe....

These are fantastic, I used to embroider when I was a kid and into my 20s when embroidering on chambray shirts for your boyfriend was popular. I recently embroidered on a vintage envelope. It had been so long I had to look up how to make a daisy. It was really hard to embroider on paper because it’s not forgiving if you stick your needle up in the wrong spot you’ve got a hole and you can’t really hide it. Needless to say I haven’t done it again since I did that one envelope it was in a journal that sold so I don’t even have it anymore. You make me want to try again. I’ve never heard of the colonial stitch either.

Wow!! You have turned a cluster into a masterpiece. I love it. x Mariana x

Just had time to watch & soooo cool, Rachel. I’ve been slow stitching lace snippets but not on paper/lace/fabric mixed. What if it about stitching on paper etc that’s sooooo addictive! Love love love it. I’m a fan of a U.K. textile artist, Ann Brooks. She does YT Sew 4 the Soul videos each month with us and her snippet rolls are just glorious. Worth a look. I did a workshop with before lockdown & was like a kid in a sweet shop when I went into her studio.... just beautiful. C xx

I love love love these! I'm working on a slow stitch journal cover, something about hand stitching calms the soul. Hugs Kathy

Saw you use a bottle pattex glue we have here in the Netherlands and i was happy about it because i use that bottle but i didn't know it was pva glue but it's very good and i can buy it in bulk so that's a good thing. I like the way you work and interact with your kids very much, it's almost that we have a nice come together and craft with a cup of coffee or tea. Thank you

Buttons were very nice but these are beautiful!

Oh yes excellent idea. Love embroidery. I have the same containers for all my threads on the same cards. I write the DMC # on each card. I am cross stitching in the evenings. So this will be great.

Hello Rachel these are just adorable and something to have more fun with and escape reality for a time ~ thanks so much 🎶

Oh I will be doing this tomorrow!😃 I only watched the first minute, but it's bed time here and I can't wait to try this out😅. Luckily I bought the thread and loom and don't know what else just before lockdown, I was just waiting for the perfect tutorial to come my way😆... How will I sleep⁉️😜

Those flowers are so cool. I can see them being used in all sorts of applications. I love your way of saving the thread scraps by putting them through the hole. Very clever.

Beautiful work. Stitching and paper are a lovely combo. Thanks

I've been writing down ideas of things to do and this is definitely on my list! I watch your older videos and learning so much. TFS! 🤗 So simple and lovely!

Nice to do while watching tv. Bye 💁🏼‍♀️

Darling idea! I’m so thankful you shared this with us...thank you!!

Hi Rachel , very pretty . Great idea . Love 💕 it . 💕 💞 💕

These are precious!

Oh my goodness, Rachel! I’ve been experimenting with embroidery on paper also. Thank you for the tips. All of your pieces are beautiful. I’m a huge fan.

Love this so very much! Thanks for sharing! 🌸😊

That was a really restful and calming video and you have made them so beautiful with just a few stitches and a lovely threads. Thank you so much Rachel. We need to see more beauty in these trying times. Stay safe and well because we love watching you create such gorgeousness! God bless. Lita from S. wales UK. Xx

They are precious, thank you for the idea!

Love it 🌸

Girl after my heart. Could have watched all day. I'm doing a similar thing atm. Making mini quilts for my journals. Except using t.dyed cotton and candlewicking. Tfs wishing you all well 🙏
