I sure wish they had these videos when I was learning how to embroider because I could not figure them out by just the instruction and pictures. Mine never looked like a chain it was all over the place and I pulled the stitch to tight. Carolina Moore does a great job explaining how it is done and you can see her hands to see what she is doing. She speaks very clear. These are some great videos.Anyone learning needs to watch all of these. I have projects that I have not finished and will be picking them up again. Anyone else find this helpful? Thanks.
