Getting Started
Where to start? In this section, we’ll discuss what supplies you’ll need, how to choose fabric, how to stretch it over the hoop, threading your needle, knotting off your thread, and finishing knots.
Running Stitch
The simplest embroidery stitch of them all! Use it as decoration or even to sew two pieces of fabric together.
Backstitch
One of the most commonly used stitches, Backstitch is great for outlines or even entire pieces.
Blanket Stitch
Otherwise known as buttonhole stitch, this one is beautiful and functional.
Chain Stitch
My favorite stitch! Perfect for outlines or filling space.
Lazy Daisy
Just what it sounds like, an adorable and easy petaled flower stitch.
