  • I want to cry I’ve been trying to do this for three weeks!! Thank you so much following your instructions I got it on the first try!
  • @katherinec2759
    Somehow, I can never do a French knot unless I'm watching someone else do it. Thank you so much for this video!
  • @WendysCraftDen
    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I am way past 50 and I have been struggling and failing for all of my crafting life to make French Knots and I am now the very proud owner of 4 perfectly made French Knots. The pattern I have calls for 5 clumps of French Knots. Which will keep me very happy. Thank you 😻😻😻😻🎉🎉🎉
  • @galf2404
    I may have shed a few tears of frustration last night when I was trying to do French knots for the first time. Thank you so much for this helpful video, this really helped me!!
  • @tamarajones5855
    Thank you for your easy to follow directions! The video helped so much. French Knotts have always given me such grief, not anymore. 🎉
  • @Cerydwyn87
    Could not figure out the French knot until I watched this video. Thank you!
  • @amnathegrande
    When I first started learning french knots, it was extremely hard for me. Each knot would look completely different and would mess up the whole work. But now, with a lot of practice, I can make pretty decent knots. This is just for those who find French knots difficult :)
  • Why is it so hard for me to do this. Am I the only one?? Edit: I wrote this comment few years back and reading it today makes me feel nostalgic. How I struggled to perfect this stitch for school purposes. Anyway, thank y'all so much for the likes😭
  • @ninahead1403
    Thank you so much for posting this, I need reminding every-time as use french knots in frequently, this is my go-to tutorial.
  • @hp932
    I was never able to do French knots before even after four years of embroidering, but now I have a line of six on my scrap fabric! Thank you!
  • @lindinas9586
    You cannot understand how grateful i am for this video. I tried to do the French knot for hours last night and no matter how hard i tried and how many tutorials i watched i just couldn't do it until i found yours, just one watch and just like magic i succeeded. Truly thank you❤️
  • @valeries2037
    I tried multiple times and couldn't get it to work, correctly. It formed the knot, but when I put it through the same hole, it came all the way through. So, I think it needs to be next to that hole, not actually through it. This was my first project, so I wasn't too worried about getting it correct (especially as I altered it a lot already lol). I definitely got the technique down, so thanks!!
  • @chloemunoz656
    I've just started embroidery for the first time a week ago and I've been watching your videos to learn how to do different stitches that are needed and I really like the videos you do. I find them very easy to learn from. You do a great job on teaching. So far ive learned to do a back stitch, straight stitch, leaf and now a french knotThanks.
  • @neans74
    I've never been able to do a French knot before (even after watching videos). Something about your video was perfect because I did it first try!! and now I've done quite a few, Thank you!! 😁👍
  • @incendi4ry
    I struggled for so long with my french knots. They were going right through and leaving me frustrated. Thank you!
  • Thank you! I had a guide in my cross stitch book with only one picture, but I really needed something visual to help me. Got it in the second try. Thank you so much!
  • @ellielovesyou96
    I have tried for, honestly, years to do a french knot. I’ve created huge meter long pieces of cross stitch and still never been able to but I thought I’d give it one more go and after seeing your video I finally did!!! I screamed once it worked! Thank you so much for posting this, I feel like there’s no stopping my work now xx
  • @nellyg7591
    Genuinely thank you so much for this video! I’m new to embroidery and after watching a different tutorial a few weeks ago and not grasping the technique, I’ve put off finishing my project for weeks! You video has made the technique super clear and I can successfully do the stitch! Thank you!! 🙂
  • @jessicamain9992
    putting it through the same hole didn't work for me.... it can be right next to it, but not in the same hole. hopefully this helps some viewers.
  • @auran-r7y
    I nearly cry 🥲 I couldn't do the not and is sooo frustrating, finally I made it 🙌 thank you for the video, it is a massive help ❤
