Stitch Along Friday Sept 12, 2025

Discover the Victoria Sampler YOUTUBE Channel
Welcome to our corner of YouTube, where learning meets inspiration—one stitch at a time. At Victoria Sampler, our aim is simple: to help stitchers grow in skill and confidence, and to keep the beautiful specialty stitches of yesteryear alive. We go beyond basic cross stitch, guiding you through eyelets, Hardanger elements, drawn thread, ribbon work, and more—always step by step, always friendly.

You’ll find a library of short, focused overview videos that show stitches being made in real time, so you can watch, pause, and practice at your own pace. Whether you’re brand new to specialty stitches or ready to refine your technique, our demos are designed to make “tricky” feel totally doable.

Every Friday at 9:30am Pacific Time, I go live to connect with our stitching community on Facebook. See below. I share studio updates, answer questions, show works in progress, and cheering you on. It’s a warm weekly meetup where our connections feel personal and fun.

Our channel is for anyone who loves beautiful needlework and wants to learn more. Bring your hoop, your curiosity, and your joy and we’ll bring the tips, history, and encouragement. Subscribe and stitch along with us!

On our WEBSITE:
At the Victoria Sampler Academy, our Beyond Cross Stitch courses guide you step by step through the world of specialty stitches. Divided into six levels, each course contains 10 downloadable patterns that let you practice a new stitch in a small, manageable project. By the end, you’ll have mastered 60 stitches and created 60 little treasures that can be finished as ornaments, pincushions, sachets, or even pieced into a quilt. It’s a fun, approachable way to grow your skills while building a collection of projects you’ll love to keep—or to give as heartfelt gifts.
