Hardanger Embroidery, Lesson 8, Cutting the interior

I am a self taught hardanger stitcher. These videos will show how I stitch hardanger. The methods I use are not necessarily the “right” way to stitch, and could very well be the wrong way, but they work for me and I wanted to share this.

I am an amateur video maker with an older Sony camera and no editing software. I can not pause, re-start, edit out or make any other changes to the video. Please feel free to fast forward or back track.

An excellent book of instruction for Hardanger Embroidery is “Basics and Beyond” by Janice Love. The continuation to this is “Fundamentals Made Fancy”, also by Janice Love.

Some stores I’ve purchased instructions, patterns and materials are:
Nordic Needle in Fargo North Dakota (USA)
Traditional Stitches in Calgary Alberta (Canada)
Gitta’s in Mississauga Ontario (Canada)

If you would like a good basic starter kit for Hardanger Embroidery I would recommend looking at the Nordic Needle website, they have quite a few. Here’s one very basic one -

Good luck and, most importantly, have fun!
