Mary Corbet is one busy lady. Even a passing glance at her website will reveal the amount of time, thought, and devotion she has spent in trying to make the stitches of needlework comprehensible to the general public. In this unprecedented attempt at free internet sharing of videotapes she has recorded, Mary brings her written descriptions alive in a manner that exudes her patience in teaching.
Do you know how to do the Palestrina Stitch or the Double Herringbone Stitch or the Bouillion Stitch? Oh, my, but there is such a long list of stitches to choose from, already. Yet, Mary tells me that this weekend, she will be filming how to do MORE stitches!
If you love embroidery, or would like to know more about how to do the surface embroidery stitches used to create wonderful embroidered pieces, please visit Mary’s site: Needle ‘N Thread: Tips, Tricks, and Great Resources for Hand Embroidery.
Or click here, to visit her video library of stitches for hand embroidery.
Enjoy!

Hi, Pat! High praise, indeed! Thank you for your kind words! I love doing the video stitches. SO MANY people have written and told me how much it has helped them get back into (or into for the first time) embroidery….
I love your site, and all your articles, and I especially LOVE the redwork books and patterns. They’re great! Thank you for making them available!
Keep up the wonderful work!
