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.

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.

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.

Made A 9” Thread Painting Landscape. Can’t Tell Which One Is More Time Consuming, French Knot Flowers Or Tiny Stitches Trees
𝖊𝖆 3 years ago (edited)
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.
Cold Contagious 3 years ago
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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

I wish I had a fraction of the patience and talent that these people do.

My mother taught me when I was young. I think that you would have them if you were taught while still a child.

I'm thinking about taking this up as my new hobby. I still have a few pieces of amazing embroidery my mom did more than 50 years ago. :)

Wish BP had not shortened this post to the top 50. The top 50 voting system seems flawed to me because people will upvote the first couple of posts and not scroll to the later posts so some amazing submissions don’t get votes. Maybe some fairness is restored if posts are originally posted in order of submission?

Some amazing talent here. Every single item is just wonderful. Can't believe it's actually embroidery. Took my breath away.

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.
