Beginning Embroidery Stitches
May 31, 2008 · Posted in diy by ami elizabeth
As usual, my Saturday post takes inspiration from what I’ve been doing this weekend. Today was all about learning how to embroider. Here is a wonderful blog post that I found with the beginning embroidery stitches and easy instructions to follow!
Clockwise: Running Stitch, Whipped Running Stitch, Back Stitch, Couching, Stem Stitch, Outline Stitch
If you’re like I am, you know the back stitch and the running stitch from your sewing. The others were pretty simple to learn and I have been doing some fun patterns today already! Think of what you can customize with just some simple stitching: attendant’s gifts, handkerchiefs for your mother and grandmother, or even your bouquet wrap!
Happy Saturday!
