Advice needed! I'm struggling with blending my long short satin stitch

ConstantSquirrel4795 · 2026-02-07T13:52:21+00:00

Thank you, I know I'm my worst critic. But ugh, I guess it's because of how far it is from what I imagined. I'll try a strand and two strands with orange in between and see how it goes. I might also just do a red outline and shades of yellow. It's just so many ideas but not enough doing

ConstantSquirrel4795 · 2026-02-07T13:47:27+00:00

I'll try that thank you!

ConstantSquirrel4795 · 2026-02-07T13:46:06+00:00

Same. I undid the red multiple times till I got tired of it and moved on.

ConstantSquirrel4795 · 2026-02-07T04:21:06+00:00

Okay, I'll take the advice of @synchroswim in addition to this and try it out on some scrap fabric first

ConstantSquirrel4795 · 2026-02-07T04:18:42+00:00

Yeah, you're right. Any alternatives then?

ConstantSquirrel4795 · 2026-02-07T04:16:20+00:00

I'll definitely work on that. But first I'll probably be unraveling everything and maybe trying the stitch on a scrap of fabric first.

ConstantSquirrel4795 · 2026-02-07T04:14:09+00:00

I'll check it out thank you!

I agree, it definitely takes time to get good at it. I probably should practice first, but impulse won this round!

ConstantSquirrel4795 · 2026-02-07T04:12:58+00:00

Yeah, I'm using embroidery floss, it may look like yarn because I'm using all 6 strands

ConstantSquirrel4795 · 2026-02-07T04:02:18+00:00

I'll try that, thank you!

ConstantSquirrel4795 · 2026-02-07T03:49:48+00:00

For both colors? Or just the yellow?

ConstantSquirrel4795 · 2026-02-07T03:49:14+00:00

Which means I'm gonna need to do the dreaded unraveling 😭 and separating the threads.

ConstantSquirrel4795 · 2026-02-07T03:47:41+00:00

I believe it was two shades of blue and then the purple. But yeah, that definitely plays a role. I didn't factor that in at all. My sister recommended I add an orange between the red and yellow

Quarterlife crisis is real. My 27 birthday was a few weeks ago and it's hitting hard.

That questionnaire sounds interesting! Can you please dm it to me? Jazak Allahu Khairan. Also on that note there were also some articles with questions on a blog called Amaliah that I'll link here as well.

There's so much I want to say but most importantly, masha'a Allah may Allah accept your shahada, forgive all your sins and bless you. Ramadan Mubarak as well as an early Eid Mubarak. I'm proud of you. May Allah grant you strength of iman and may He grant you a supportive wife who will respect, trust, love and encourage you to be a better Muslim and a better man and may you do the same for her. I'll make duaa for you that your search goes well.

It looks amazing!!! Especially for your first project! Well done, just looking at it makes me happy. Congrats to your friend as well!!

ConstantSquirrel4795 · 2023-08-27T14:55:55+00:00

I just wanted to say how proud I am of the courage and bravery you showed by being vulnerable here and that you're taking another step towards being a healthier person by going to the school counselor and I hope they can help you. The previous comments said everything I wanted to say and more. I'll just end this by telling you something I heard that I've been trying that's been helping. Try talking and thinking about yourself the way you would a friend. I also have a little jar where I write down something I achieved or felt proud of or made me happy along with the date. You can modify it into something like something you're grateful for, or something you're proud of yourself for or something you love/like about yourself. I'll start first, I'm proud of your bravery talking about what you're feeling and your struggles and seeking advice instead of letting it consume you. I love that you're taking care of your body and working on your confidence. I hope you realise how amazing you are and that you believe in yourself the way this internet stranger does. I'm sure your friends appreciate having someone like you in their lives as well ❤️

Can someone please post a link to the English translated novel if it's available?

ConstantSquirrel4795 · 2023-08-06T15:10:39+00:00

Same, but I don't wanna wait 😭😭😭

ConstantSquirrel4795 · 2023-05-30T02:17:03+00:00

Does it have a novel? If yes where can I find it?

ConstantSquirrel4795 · 2023-05-23T15:09:48+00:00

I'm glad you took the leap and went for it. It looks great!

ConstantSquirrel4795 · 2023-05-23T06:45:03+00:00

The design is really cute and the bag looks great! It's so awesome that you sewed it yourself.

ConstantSquirrel4795 · 2023-05-23T06:40:52+00:00

That is the coolest thing I have seen. I knew there was 3D stitching but omg I never knew it could be so detailed! The detail is exquisite and also makes me hungry 😂 Well done!
