Embroidery
Embroidery is the handicraft of decorating fabric or other materials with needle and thread
or yarn. Embroidery may also incorporate other materials such as metal strips, pearls,
beads, quills, and sequins. Embroidery is most often used on caps, hats, coats, blankets,
dress shirts, denim, stockings, and golf shirts. Embroidery is available with a wide variety
of thread or yarn colour.
An interesting characteristic of embroidery is that the basic techniques or stitches on
surviving examples of the earliest embroiderychain stitch, buttonhole or blanket stitch,
running stitch, satin stitch, cross stitchremain the fundamental techniques of hand
embroidery today.

Running Stitch
The Running Stitch is one of the most basic stitches, and is usually the first stitch learned by the beginner embroidery enthusiast or sewing student. This stitch can be worked in straight
or curved lines, or for assembly when finishing an embroidery project.

Running Stitch - Double

The Double Running Stitch is worked in two passes of running

stitch, with the second pass filling the gaps made in the first pass.

Single & Double running stitch

Chain Stitch

The basic Chain Stitch, the chain stitch as a filling, as well as the proper way to
change thread. The variation of chain stitch is:-

Chain Stitch - Square

The Square Chain Stitch is a chunky, open version of a standard chain stitch. This
stitch can be used alone as an interesting border or outline stitch, or pass ribbon or
other trims under the stitch for a multi-layered effect.

Chain Stitch - Twisted

The Twisted Chain Stitch is worked similarly to a standard row of chain stitch, with
the exception of the second insertion point of the needle being outside the previous
stitch. When used singly, a stitch resembles a small fish. Add a French knot eye and
you have an easy element to use in a beach-themed project. when working this easy
stitch.

Chain Stitch - Lazy Daisy

The Lazy Daisy is not a stitch, but is instead a group of single, detached chain
stitches arranged in the shape of a flower.

Back Stitch
The Back Stitch is a basic embroidery and sewing stitch used to produce a thin line of
stitching, to outline shapes that will be filled with satin stitch, or to stitch fabric pieces
together.

Blanket Stitch
The Blanket Stitch is a basic stitch that can be used to create an edging, used as a surface
embroidery stitch, or to applique elements in place on an embroidery project. It is worked
using open half-loops of stitching, similar to a hand-worked buttonhole stitch.

Herringbone Stitch
The Herringbone Stitch is worked along parallel lines on an even weave fabric.
These lines can be marked or you can count the threads in your fabric to space the
stitches. This stitch has many variations.

Herringbone Stitch - Double

The Double Herringbone Stitch is worked using two passes of the single
herringbone stitch and is most often worked in two colours.

Cross Stitch
Cross Stitch is commonly worked on Aida fabric by stitching one stitch over each
square in the fabric or counted by working over two threads when using an even
weave fabric. However, cross stitch can also be used as a surface embroidery stitch
when working with pre-stamped items, hot iron or other embroidery transfers.

French Knot
The French Knot is easy to work after a small bit of practice. Here you will learn to make a basic
French knot, and a variation with a tail.

French Knot with a Tail

The French Knot with Tail stitch is worked similarly to a standard French knot, but has a tail. It
works well used as a small flower, as a flower centre, or as stamens.

Feather Stitch
Feather Stitch is light and airy. These two versions of the stitch are worked similarly, creating
an open line of embroidery stitching that can be used for borders, around shapes, or to attach
appliques

Buttonhole Stitch
Buttonhole stitch and the related blanket stitch are hand-sewing stitches used in tailoring,
embroidery, and needle lace-making.
Buttonhole stitches catch a loop of the thread on the surface of the fabric and needle is returned
to the back of the fabric at a right angle to the original start of the thread. The finished stitch in
some ways resembles a letter "L" depending on the spacing of the stitches. For buttonholes the
stitches are tightly packed together and for blanket edges they are more spaced out. The
properties of this stitch make it ideal for preventing ravelling of woven fabric.

Satin Stitch
Basic, flat Satin Stitch is an easy filling stitch that can be used to fill smaller areas that are not
to be raised, and has also been called the flat satin stitch due to its lack of padding.
Other variations of the satin stitch include the long & short satin stitch, padded satin stitch (the
inside area of the shape is padded with seed stitch, multiple layers of satin stitch, or an outline
stitch filling), outlined satin stitch and shaded satin stitch.

Satin stitch -long & short:This version of the Long & Short Satin Stitch can be used in a single colour or in multiple
colours to create a shaded filling.

Stem Stitch
Stem Stitch is one of the most common embroidery stitches. It is worked as a thin line
and can be used to outline embroidered shapes, as flower and plant stems, and in
tendrils. Stem stitch can also be worked as a filling.

Eyelet Stitch
The Basic Eyelet Stitch, also knows as a star stitch or Algerian eye, can be worked singly, in
rows, or clustered together as a filling. Learn to work a basic 12-spoke eyelet.

Eyelet Stitch - Algerian

The Algerian Eye stitch is work in the same manner as the basic eyelet, but has just 8 spokes
and is over a counted number of threads in the pattern. As for other eyelet stitches, work the
stitch from the outside edges to the centre, forming an indentation in the centre to make a
small hole or eyelet with these directions.

Straight Stitch & Rice

Stitch
Standard or basic Straight Stitch is a simple
embroidery stitch created using a straight, long
stitch individually or in patterns. This popular surface embroidery stitch can be worked on
any type of embroidery fabric including plain weave. Using straight stitches arranged in
groups you can make leaves and flowers or geometric designs.

Rice Stitch
The Rice Stitch can be used as a scattered or engineered filling stitch, or in bands and
borders. It is worked similarly to standard cross stitch, with the exception of small diagonal
stitches worked over the ends of each arm of the larger crossed stitch

Fly Stitch &Chevron

Stitch
The Fly Stitch is a surface embroidery stitch
that can be worked singly, as a scattered or engineer
filling & rows.

Chevron Stitch
The Chevron Stitch is a surface embroidery stitch worked using long diagonal stitches topped
with a horizontal cap stitch. This stitch can be used in straight rows and bands. It can also be
stitches along a curved edge if guide lines are carefully marked on the fabric.

Chevron Stitch

Bullion stitch
The Bullion Knot is very similar to the French Knot, but you loop the thread around the needle
more times, producing a worm of a knot that is inserted a slight distance from the needles
original entry point.
Make a back stitch, the length of the bullion knot required.Bring the needle out at 1, but do
not bring it out all the way.
Twist the thread around the needle point, as many times as is necessary to equal the length of
the back stitch.Holding the left thumb on the coiled thread, turn the needle back to 1 and insert
it in the same place. Pull the thread through until the bullion knot lies flat.
Application:- Uses decorative dots, plants & leaves

Spider stitch
Also known as ribbed spider wheel, raised spiders web wheel, back stitched spiders
web. This stitch will, definitely, remind you of a spiders web. It has a raised effect and can be
used as a very decorative piece in your embroidery.
This stitch can be worked on any number of straight stitches, that is, even or uneven. While
going around the straight stitches, each stitch is whipped, which in turn gives a final raised or
ribbed effect.
I will work between five straight stitches with a common central point. You can also leave a
gap in the centre to bring a different effect.
