Morning On Mt. Sanitas, 8" Landscape. This Took Absolutely Forever!
May have taken absolutely forever but it is absolutely amazing!!!! WOWZA! ♥️
My 9 Year Old Son Did This Free Hand And Wanted To Share
Spare, clean. Absolutely perfect. This modernist design couldn't be improved upon.
This should be higher up: free hand and done my someone with no or little experience! It's wonderful!
There is some amazing characterisation with needle and thread there.
This is THE BEST one of the bunch! It's original. There is no question about it being "hand-made". I would proudly hang this on my wall!! Great job Master Artist!
literally i cant even properly stitch the letter H and this nine-year-old be doing frigging astronauts
Please have him put the year and his name on it somewhere, but hidden. That will be important to him, you, or someone else in the future!
Truth time, Pandas. Yours truly is absolutely horrible with a needle and thread. I’ve certainly tried embroidery in the past, but I was pretty darn bad at it. I was impatient, clumsy, and the furthest you can get away from neatness without leaving Planet Earth. You should see me trying to sew in a button.
Embroidery certainly isn’t my go-to hobby (it’s painting and drawing!), but I really appreciate quality crafts with all of my heart. Especially when they demonstrate amazing results that I myself couldn’t aspire to without putting in years and years of dedication.

Lots Of French Knots On 9” Hoop
It looks like a serene and magical place. Perfect for painting!
Load More Replies...Gorgeous! I don't like doing French knots as, for me, every third one has to be done over.
I have to redo at least every other knot, if not each one. I've since given up on french knots.
Load More Replies...Very awesome. And I would bet that there were several times that the knots would start getting to you, and you had to put it down and just walk away for awhile.
French knots are the worst and you had to practically do a whole scene with them! Your skill is beautiful and amazing!! Kudos to you!! :)
It Took Me Several Months To Finish This 8" Pet Portrait - I Even Ombré Dyed The Fabric Myself!
Like all skills and hobbies, embroidery requires a lot of patience, the ability to adapt on the fly, and the willingness to embrace your mistakes and move past them.
Learning any new thing or skill will certainly have its frustrating moments. Nobody truly enjoys failing. But developing a different perspective and seeing failure as an opportunity for growth is well worth it. In all aspects of life.

Founded all the way back in early 2010, the r/Embroidery subreddit has enjoyed 12+ years of moderate success. It’s seen massive growth the past two years. The online community is slowly on its way to getting a solid million members. Since Bored Panda’s last feature about the sub, in June, the group has grown from 628k to almost 703k members.

Load More Replies...You can do it! I'm sure you could get a kit. It comes preprinted with little X's in the colors that you sew there and you just follow the pattern. My stepmother used to do it all the time.
Load More Replies...One should not be conflicted over embroidery, save that for politics.
A lot of the subreddit’s growth is down to the current moderator team, running the entire show. Previously, one of the moderators, u/kallisti_gold explained to Bored Panda that they asked to take over the online community via r/RedditRequest. Originally, the sub was created by a spam bot.
After clearing out all of the spam and doing a bit of spring cleaning, the new mod let the community grow organically. "I wanted a place to talk about embroidery, and I've tried to foster that kind of environment for the community to flourish in,” they told Bored Panda earlier.

"We've seen huge growth in the community since early 2020.

Made A 9” Thread Painting Landscape. Can’t Tell Which One Is More Time Consuming, French Knot Flowers Or Tiny Stitches Trees
French knots. It normally ends in tears. Treated myself to a beauty and the beast kit, to make the enchanted rose but i’m putting off starting due to the knots! It’s not something i’m skilled at, and my clicky joints and fingers that lock up can make it painful, but for some reason I love doing embroidery. It’s peaceful, and makes me shut the world out. Plus you get something (hopefully) pretty at the end to keep. Have found it helps with my depression, feels like you’ve made a small achievement each time you finish something.
I'm so surprised that they didn't mention all the blades of grass as well as the tree stitching. It has to be so monotonous as well. I can't imagine doing it with the arthritis in my hands. My joints would swell so badly that I wouldn't be able to move my fingers, lol. I understand you pushing yourself to keep doing something that brings you joy. I often take time to make homemade food for my kids that destroy my hands for days, so I get it. They also just get worse if we don't use them, right... You'll have to post that Beauty And The Beast when you finish it, I'm sure it will turn out fabulous!

One of the other moderators, redditor u/Zesparia, created a fantastic FAQ page 10 months ago for new members and embroidery enthusiasts both new and veteran alike. In it, the moderator shares tips and tricks that any beginner will find useful. Meanwhile, it’s a nice refresher even for those embroidery enthusiasts who already have years or even decades of experience under their belts.
First Post, Make It Count
For the person who didn't get it, it's a reference to abortion. I gather, more precisely illegal/non medical abortions and how the law has changed in the US.
If you’re ok with IVF and embryos getting discarded or going unused in fertility treatment but not ok with legal abortion, then it isn’t about the baby, is it? It’s about punishing women for having sex. And that’s just sad and demented. If you’re against both, I’ll disagree with you but at least respect your opinion for being logically sound.
Load More Replies...Captures the reality that restrictive legislation will not stop abortions; abortions will just become more dangerous.
Forcing people to birth is extremely disturbing...and that coat hanger is the result.

The subreddit only has three rules. First of all—don’t be a jerk. That one’s pretty straightforward. Just treat others like you’d expect to be treated. Follow the Golden Rule and suddenly the internet becomes a far friendlier place.
Secondly, you should always strive to give credit where it’s due. If you aren’t the original embroiderer of a particular project, you have to mention the original artist. And finally, self-promotion ought to be limited to mod-posted mega threads.

A Tale As Old As Time…
It does look like it would have been a real beast to finish. I'm here all week.
Load More Replies...I can't believe how incredibly smooth all of the needlework is. It's insane to me that it looks so perfect. I can't see anything that looks out of place. It's fantastic!
The best way to start embroidering is to get some supplies. The basics include a hoop, a needle, some fabric, and some 6-stranded embroidery floss. A pair of scissors is also useful.
The FAQ notes that “a very good way to start from the absolute beginning is to order an embroidery kit. It will have your thread, a needle, a hoop, and a design already worked onto the fabric provided. No analysis paralysis as you stare at the 60+ shades of red, wondering which one might be the best.”

What’s more, these embroidery kits also explain what stitches you should be using in what section. “Once you complete your kit you then have a hoop and needle to use for other projects as well. When finding a kit, it's a good idea to buy from and support a small business rather than purchasing off of Amazon. Almost all of the embroidery kits on Amazon contain stolen patterns from other embroidery artists,” moderator u/Zesparia writes.

It makes me so sad, but there’s beauty in everything. No reason for anyone to downvote you, so I helped out. Coral is gorgeoussssss.
Load More Replies...To keep up your spirits, please look up recent research on some coral reefs just starting to slowly rebound. Coral is still in great trouble though.
It's so humbling to see such artistry. This piece is so intricate, with all the changing techniques, textures, shapes, stitches, and styles of knots. I'm in love with this and would have never purchased anything store bought in beach style decor before, but this is really special to look at and see all the wonders that are crafted into it.
very cool! But I can see how working in this monochromatic palette would be difficult
Detailed Pet Embroidery Portrait. It’s Really Challenging Fo Do A Such Realistic Portrait

Just Finished! Any Advice On How To Keep Definition When Working On Small Details?
What about some of that special UV and glow in the dark thread also? That would change the appearance a little wouldn't it?
Load More Replies...For anybody wondering here: use a finer, less heavy fabric than canvas, so that you can make smaller, finer stitches
The canvas makes it look more like sand though. I sorta like it even though I do understand you response.
Load More Replies...I don’t know. It’ s beautiful in my opinion. I like that non-polished and structured look, it ´s somehow calming to me. Would definitely hang it in my house.
Also, to answer your request asking how to keep details sharp, keep in mind high contrast between background and stitched details. As in, darker blue behind white foaming wave stitches, or brighter sand color with vivid saturated thread colors for items on the beach. Your choices are really beautiful, and this is a delightful piece of art! Way to go!

Astounding! I've heard that people embroider to relax. I'm afraid if I tried it I'd be breaking things. Lots of things.
Your mind goes into a different place while you're embroidering (or any craft, for that matter). It's called "the flow state." You don't judge things while you're in this state. You're only concentrating on one stitch: just this stitch, and how to make it perfect. And then the next.
