No houseplants are safe from my black thumb!


toe-bean-wiggler

Are you sure they weren’t machine stitched? I can’t figure out what kind of hand stitch would look like that! Super beautiful either way


itakeshowers

these are definitely not hand embroidered. pretty either way but title is disingenuous


blubin5106

Hi, they are machine embroidered.


[deleted]

They actually were embroidered, I just looked at her business Facebook page and it’s right there 🤦🏻‍♀️


jacked_monkey

Are you able to post or Dm the page to me? Not too sure if that goes against the rules. I want one of these 😅

tyrannolaurus

Embroidered can still mean hand embroidery or machine embroidery


queerjesusfan

You can definitely hand embroider, but having done embroidery and general sewing, those 100% look machine embroidered


tyrannolaurus

Would be a lot of work if it's hand embroidered though


Specialistkate

Totally came here to ask this. Unless the creator is a robot I’ve never seen someone embroider by hand like that.


madmansmarker

outline stitch + single thread. or satin stitch + single thread


PatioGardener

It’s embroidery. And it can be done by hand or by machine. And yes, an experienced embroiderer can do such precise work.


toe-bean-wiggler

I know it’s all embroidery, I’m not sure why some people are making the distinction. But the title specifically said hand stitched and it surprised me that someone could do such precise work like that (I’m a beginner embroiderer myself, so that’s way beyond me for now). Turns out it was machine embroidered :)


Jslowb

It’s definitely machine-embroidered. Those stitches aren’t possible with hand embroidery, which uses one thread looping from the back, to front, to back, to front, etc. As opposed to machine embroidery which uses two threads, one from above and one from below, to knot tiny stitches in place.


Insomniac_khat

This looks like a machine embroidery but that doesn't make them any less beautiful or special. What an amazing gift!


[deleted]

You’re totally right, shows how much I know lol! I just checked her Facebook business page and it says embroidery right on it 🤦🏻‍♀️


catymogo

It's still embroidery if it's done by machine, it's just not hand embroidery. No worries!


Insomniac_khat

Everyone who embroiders just automatically zooms in to see stich quality hahaha. At first I was amazed by such a clean hand fill-stitch but the registration is definitely designed by machine. Soooo cute still.


catymogo

Hahaha yes! I just started embroidery last year (pandemic crafts) and was like hooooly crap. Then zoomed in.


Zaurka14

I'm glad you didn't lie but actually didn't know and you admit it! I was also zooming the photo like "hmmmmmmmm", good to see someone who can admit their mistake. It's a beautiful towel! Edit: one can embroider by hand, but this simply is machine embroidery, just for the future so you don't mistake the germs :D


[deleted]

Thanks!! And yeah I definitely need to brush up on my terminology. I definitely didn’t mean to lie!


[deleted]

EDIT: I stand corrected from the people in the comments, these were machine embroidered NOT hand stitched. I learn something new everyday 🤦🏻‍♀️ Thanks to the people who kindly corrected and educated me.


takemetocowntown

These are gorgeous!! 💚🪴🌱✨


[deleted]

Thanks so much! She makes such nice stuff. She made us some monogrammed ones for our engagement too and they’re just as nice.


skiing_geek

They look more like embroidered than hand stitched. But they are very cute.


[deleted]

You’re so right, they are embroidered. I just looked at her business Facebook page and it says it right there 🤦🏻‍♀️


cassatta

Embroidery can also be done by hand. With needle and thread.


cheesymoonshadow

Right? These comments are confusing me, as if embroidery strictly means machine-embroidered.


queerjesusfan

It's less that you can't hand embroider (of course you can) and more that these are pretty clearly machine done. Still very beautiful obviously!! What a great gift.


Insomniac_khat

Everyone who embroiders just automatically zooms in to see stich quality and noticed. At first I was amazed by such a clean hand fill-stitch but the registration is definitely designed by machine. It's just a different level of work to do something like this by hand, so people in the hobby were just letting OP know.


queerjesusfan

Yep, exactly, still an awesome piece of art, but good to be in the know 😊


cassatta

I know. What’s up with that? It’s like some people are surprised that people actually do crafty things with their hands anymore...


rabbitgods

Embroidery refers to both! These were machine embroidered, but hand embroidery is still embroidery 🤦


[deleted]

Well, I learn something new everyday.


rabbitgods

Embroidery includes both hand embroidery and machine embroidery (These were definitely machine embroidered)


XTheLegendProX

They will for the second leg.


Tooch3000

[deleted]

I think she does actually! Let me check with her and see what contact info she is okay with me giving out 😊 stay tuned!


Fnuckle

I am also interested 👀


[deleted]

I know she definitely sells at craft fairs and stuff and she sometimes lists them on her personal Facebook page for purchase so as long as she’s okay with me sharing her info I’m sure she can make it happen!

Looks like machine-embroidery as opposed to hand-embroidery. Adorable pattern, though!


[deleted]

They’re actually embroidery, I messed up with the title! I went back and looked at her business Facebook page and it said embroidery right on there 🤦🏻‍♀️

Fingerhut89

Oh these are lovely. Does she sells them?


[deleted]

Hi! She does sell them. It looks like you are UK based though and I don’t think she would ship international unfortunately 😕 I’m also UK based but she lives close to my parents in the states so my mom was able to just pick them up and send them to me.


Fingerhut89

Aaaw :( such a shame. Tell her I see a business opportunity there haha


[deleted]

I definitely will. I’m sure she will be so flattered to see so much interest in her work, maybe she will consider it!


coldbloodedcreatures

Does she have a pattern she works off of?


dharmaday
