Jenny Hart first tried embroidery in the summer of 2000 and quickly became known for her stitched portraits of the famous and infamous. Her works have appeared in numerous books and magazines including Vogue, Rolling Stone, BUST, Nylon & Juxtapoz. She founded Sublime Stitching in 2001 with a new model for embroidery design and resources. Since then, Hart has become an internationally recognized fine artist and designer. She has authored eight titles on embroidery for Chronicle Books, and her drawings and works in embroidery have been exhibited and published internationally. In 2012 the Renwick gallery intends to acquire her artwork for the permanent collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

  Howto & Style

i love the music you've chosen for these videos. Who are the musicians? Where did you find them?

[kincommunity]

Isn't it fun?! The track is called Wonderful Whistling and it's from our production music archive.

[Carissa Christner]

Is a production music archive something that anyone can access, or is it subscription based or ??? Sorry if this is a really naieve question, but I love to make my own little videos and I'm always on the lookout for copyright-proper ways to get good soundtracks. thanks for any help you can offer!

[kincommunity]

Well there are different levels. We use a professional service that would probably be a bit too costly for you if you weren't monetizing your content. A good service can be a few thousand dollars a year. But if you search copy-right free music online, there are services that are free, the music just may be limiting in selection. I also have noticed that YouTube provides a service as well. Search the help section from the Home Page and you'll probably find some info there. Best of luck!

it's so bad, I can literally watch for hours with autoplay on...even if I've already seen the video, I don't change it. I'm HOOKED

[kincommunity]

Ha! We love hearing that :)

[Chattercharlie]

Where can I buy thread conditioner? Lincraft? Spotlight?

[mercyfire]

A wonderful refresher for someone returning to the world of embroidery. :) Plus, I love the whistling!

[MylkT1023]

So Im actually having issues! Whenever I embroider, the fabric gets loose and its not as tight as I started off with! I try to tighten the screw as tight as possible (until my fingers get red) but after maybe 5 or 6 stitches, it loosens! please help!

[juliefishing]

hey what font do you use for the tutorials?

[MylkT1023]

Can we use beeswax instead of the thread conditioner?

[mayle2010]
