Stitch Techniques
Back Stitch
In this tutorial I will show you how to create a simple Back Stitch - a fantastic foundational stitch for all kinds of line work an details.
🐧 Push your needle up through the fabric.
🐧 Bring it back down approximately one stitch space forward and pull through to the back of the fabric.
🐧 Going back up through the fabric a stitch space forward from where you brought the needle through.
🐧 Instead of going forward, push the needle back through the same space you went through before.
🐧 All the ends should touch in a back stitch, creating a line.
Long & Short Stitch
This video from LoveCrafts is great because it shows how you shouldn't overthink the Long & Short stitch. The trick is not to try and make it perfect - and it will look great!
Satin Stitch
In this tutorial I'll be showing you how to create an easy Satin Stitch that is guaranteed to look amazing every time!
🐧 Bring your needle up through the top left corner of your piece.
🐧 Push the needle down directly below making a straight stitch.
🐧 To keep the stitches looking even, break the pattern up with a couple of straight stitches.
🐧 Fill in the gaps with the straight stitches.
French Knot
French Knots get a bad rap for being a difficult stitch. But they're actually quite easy to do if you know the tricks! Below you'll find our video for creating French Knots that are perfect every time. Just remember one thing: keep the tension in your non-dominant hand! And with some practice I know you'll nail it.
🐧 Push the threaded needle up through the centre of where you want the knot to be.
🐧 Hold the needle horizontally in your hand.
🐧 Using your non dominant hand, wrap the thread around the needle two times.
🐧 Keep the tension so that you can move the needle, but that it’s not loose and falling off.
🐧 Push the needle back down close to where you brought the needle up, holding the tension on the thread.
🐧 Tug the needle through the fabric, and pull gently, keeping the tension.
🐧 As the loop gets smaller, let go, and and pull to secure the knot.
Backing Your Hoops
There are multiple ways to back your hoop to display your finished embroidery. In this video, we'll go through three different ways, and pick which one works best for you.
🐧 Please note that while this video talks about backing cross stitch hoops, the methods are exactly the same for your embroidery hoops 🐧
