Dear Sakina,
You can join my embroidery classes in Pune.
Greetings!
I love your website, the tutorials are great, I will take up this project in the summer with my children, they seem very interested and very much looking forward to it. This is a wonderful way to keep them away from the television, video games, computers and such things. They will learn to appreciate hand art.
Thank you so much and have a wonderful day!
Dear Graciela,
Thank you very much. I am really happy that you are trying to introduce the art of needlework to your children this summer.
But, I have to inform that this notice is a call for regular classes that I was conducting in 2011 adn hopefully this year as well (since I have a 2 month old at home).
You can still try to use my online tutorials to guide your children for needle work classes. All, you have to do is print them out.

Hey Sarah,
Are you coming up with any tutorials with some good patterns for Kutch work? I am really looking forward to it.
Dear LJ,
Kutch work is certainly in my list of tutorials. But, how long it might take for me to prepare and upload…can’t say. My hand is so full with other projects, that taking time out to make kutch tutorials seem a bit unaffordable. I hope you understand and have patience till I could post a good kutch tutorial.
Thats alright Sarah! I will wait
Hi…

Please inform how to do kutch work. Its fabulous.
hai sahrah,
i started to follow the stitches from basic seen in ur site ,iam having a small confusion that is while taking chain stitch in baniyan type material it is getting not tight how to fix it
Dear Sri,
Soemtimes the type of fabric used can determine how nicely your embroidery would come out to be. The baniyan type material is stretchable, so don’t expect very tight stitches on them. Also, makign too tight stitches can wrinkle the fabric. So, what you can do is stitch without any embroidery loop. Try to keep the thread thin..maybe 3 strands. Use thin needle. This will help you to improve your stitch. I hope this helps.
Would like to join your classes. When are you starting the next batch
I would love to take your class. Are you planning a workshop for 2013?
I love really love the way you explain! show us your job
thanks so much
hi sarah , can you tell what type of cloth materials can be used for embroidery work. can only thick cloth materials used. What sizes of needles can be used.
Dear Hameetha,
You can use almost any fabric fro embrodiery…from cotton to wool, from satin to jute, from linen to polyester…just about anything.
If you were a beginner to embroidery, it is better to stick to cotton fabric till you get a hang of the stitches. Stitching on cotton is easier. You can use cotton embroidery thread on it to begin with. Use a medium sized embroidery needle. Embroidery needles have longer eye than the normal needles. Hope this helps.
Dear Sarah,
Hope you doing good. months before i was employed now due to two little toddlers 2 yrs and other 1 year old i am now a homemaker.
so waiting eagerly to do some embr projects. many thaks to you to teach online so well.
i live in kalyaninagar in pune.
tomorrow being saturday will be going to laxmiroad to buy the material.
can you please let me know the fabric name on which i can do the embroidery.
my roject : want to do embroidry on the fabric say about 6/8 inch and frame. it.
and then make coasters.
Please reply soon..
manny mant thanks Sarah.
rgds,
nzn
Dear Nazneen,
Making coasters is a wonderful idea.
You can use any tightly woven cotton fabric… the one that is smooth and not rough. Else, try polyester or even satin fabric. They can make good fabric for coasters. You can use embroidery loop to keep them tight and stitch on them, else they can be a bit slippery.
I know you were expecting an early response from me. Sorry that this reply is coming late to you as usually I don’t check my mails during weekends.
Once you finish your project, do try to share it with us.
Hi Sarah,
I am interested in learning all form of embriodery work, can you please let me know the fees, duration, place etc?
Thanks,
Hiral.
Hi Sarah,
I am fond of fabric painting and hand embroidery, your website is like a feast to me, I would love to attend your summer workshops and get some expert advise on the work which I am already doing (i.e. embroidery on kurta).
Please reply my query if possible.
I would like to know where i will get the good embroidery needles and other things required.
Sangita
Dear Sangita,
I have not planned for any immediate summer workshops yet. When it is done, we will announce it on the website and you can call fro further details then.
You can look for embroidery materials in a ‘variety’ shop or a hobby shop.
hi,
sahara how are u? i realy enjoyed ur site and keep on practicing. in baniyan type clothes the embrodering is tuff for me please give me a better idea to work out in that type of clothes. i am waiting for ur reply……………
Hi Sripavithra,
I am good, thanks.
Honestly, I haven’t worked on the banyan type fabric, and so I can only imagine what the difficulties might be. My suggestion is not to use too many closely done stitches like the satin stitch over this cloth as it can produce big holes. You can use simple stitches like feather stitch, running stitch, the chain stitch, etc… with embellishments like sequins or beads. I hope this has helped you little.
hi sarah,
how is your cute baby?transfer pen using ironing method i have not tried yet is it is easy for all designs please clera my doubt sarah…..did u designed ur baby clothes ……………
Dear Pavitra,
You can try the transfer pen. It is a pen with which you can free draw, and later wash away. I generally like the traditional method of transferring using the carbon paper.
We all are fine, including the baby. Thanks
. I could not design my baby clothes yet as I am tied up with two kids.
