Back Stitch

 Each week I hope to release a stitch for you to try. Expand on the stitch if you wish.

The first stitch is Back Stitch.

Watch the tutorial and see how you go. Here are some images of where I use Back stitch. Can you spot where it is?

The back stitch is used in Blackwork. Here is a needle case I created using blackwork. A FREE tutorial is available on our Free Tutorial Page.

New Page - Video links to stitches and useful tips

I have added an extra page to this Blog. The new page contains links to all the current stitches and useful tips that are on in Arlene's Crafts Embroidery Apps, Embroidery, Silk Ribbon Embroidery and those in development - Stumpwork, Goldwork and Crewel Work. 

Jump on over to the page and explore what is available.

Note: those that do not have a link, will be coloured white.

Version 2 - Silk Ribbon Embroidery App - now available.

 Hi everyone. Version 2 of the Silk Ribbon Embroidery app is available for download in the Apple App Store.  I'm sorry I can't give you an Android version, I did price it once for someone else to create one, and they quoted me $30,000, ridiculous. So whilst I can do it for FREE by myself and with a little help from my son, you get just Apple.

What's new: There are now video links within the many stitches and useful tips. I've added new Embroidery Stitches and some new useful tips. I will update the downloadable ones here on this website soon.

Here is the link to watch how to navigate the new version: https://youtu.be/pAwf5ZRu4Mc

New Videos - YouTube Channel

 Hi, have you visited our YouTube channel lately?

 No! you say, we've added many new videos recently. 

I will soon be adding more videos related to other techniques other than Embroidery and Silk Ribbon Embroidery like Goldwork, Stumpwork and eventually Crewel work.

I am currently working on new updates for both the Embroidery App and the Silk Ribbon Embroidery App, with new stitches added, new useful tips added and links to the videos on YouTube will be added as well. The Silk Ribbon Embroidery App update is due at the end of September, and the Embroidery App not long afterwards. Hopefully, I can get them out sooner, I will certainly try.

Do you own an iPhone, iPad, or MacBook Air, the apps work wonderfully on them. I have created videos on how to navigate the apps, click the links below.

I'm sorry I can't provide them in an Android version, but the cost is prohibitive. Using Apple I am able to do it all on my own. (with a little of Son's help, of course - he was the original coder after all)

New Videos and Updates to the Apps

After 18 months away, we are back in Sydney. 6 months in Tasmania, 6 months in the States and another 6 months trekking from the east coast to the west up to Exmouth and back along the Nullarbor and the South Australian Peninsulas.  It's been a busy time here at the Whites House. 

I've recently started a University Diploma in Family History, so life is going to be very busy.  I've released some new videos on my YouTube Channel and working on the new updates for the two Apps. I have started working also on creating three new Apps, Goldwork, Stumpwork and Crewel Work. We shall see how we go.

New Silk Ribbon Embroidery Samplers

 

Busy putting the finishing touches to my new Silk Ribbon Embroidery Samplers. Should be up tomorrow. 

Kit's are there now can be purchased with/without hoop and embroidery scissors.

Updated QR codes

 QR codes are a quick way to link to either an APP, a website or even a document.

I have discovered a great free site that allows unlimited scans of the QR code, so they never expire.

This company: https://qrcodegeneratorhub.com/qr/my/campaigns does just that, thank you.

Just love how you can have so many designs for free.

More will be added as needed.
