Like I always say, your words of appreciation makes it all the more worthwhile and inspiring to work more on this tutorial. :) We are, at the moment, a little busy with travels and packing up to go back to india. Will take 4-5 weeks to settle back in. If possible I will be posting a couple of stitches, but it will take me some time before I start posting them on a regular basis. Thanks a lot for your compliments and wishes. :) I find myself blessed to have a huband like Roxy an an adorable son like Pratya. PS: It is nice to receive a word from mother and daughter! :D I wrote this as a reply to both of you since I realised that you are sharing the same email id. Dear Mrs. Jinnah and Shazeenah,

I find it impossible to express my gratitude fr ur wnderful embroidery wrk and fr ur generosity in spending ur invaluable time to help others. I hav been searchin online tutorials fr a long time bt was unable to find any. This tutorial is way more helpful than most books becoz it has da color photos of da actual stitch made on fabric by thread in steps as opposed to the black and white diagrams present on most books. I have some knwledge of some the stitches bt I hav been motivated to stitch much more since I saw the simple and methodical steps that u have shown. My mom and I find ur wrk very useful. I saw da photos of ur baby boy. Hes so cute and rosy. Mubarak fr da both of u for ur cute cute baby boy. Thx to Roxy too fr being supportive and helpful in wat Sarah does coz dats wat any grl wud wish fr. Once again Shabash aur shukria. Shazeena frm Negombo. Dear Sarah,

This knot will secure the thread to the fabric when the needle is pulled out. There are very few exceptions to this- when the embroidery is of a 'reversible' kind and the knots need to be avoided to keep the reverse side neat. Hope this helps. Hello Sandra,

There in no hard and fast rule on how many strands need to be used...it all depends on the fabric, the stitch and how you want the embroidery to look like. The general suggestion is to keep the threads in coordination with the fabric. So, if you have a thin or light fabric, you can use lesser strands. As the fabric gets thicker, your strands also increase. Hope this helps. Hello Siji,
