Which stitches for what, and how?

  • Loop stitch

    Loop stitch - this is the perfect stitch for embroidering small leaves, and small fine details. Stick the needle up where you want the stitch to start, and place the thread in a loop as large as desired. Then insert the needle back down at the stitch, and thread the needle back up on the other side. Pass a small stitch over the loop to hold it in place.

  • Flower

    Flower stitch - The loop stitch is the perfect flower string. This illustration shows how the stitch is used to create a simple flower.

  • French knots

    French knots - twist the thread many times around the needle. Be sure to keep the thread taut, and insert the tip of the needle back down near the stitch. The more times you thread around the needle, the bigger the knot will be. French knots fit nicely as, for example, stamens in flower embroideries.

  • Chain stitch

    Chain stitch - consists of small loops, which on the right side form a chain. The needle is inserted at the top point, and the thread is placed in a loop to the left. The needle is then inserted down to the point of the needle and up and a little further down, with the thread under the needle tip. This stitch is perfect for e.g. embroidering flower stems.

  • Silk stitch

    Silk stitches - are stitches that are embroidered at an angle. The stitches can optionally be embroidered to the right or left, or both sides. The needle is inserted into the knit, and as far as you want the stitch length, the needle is then inserted back up until the previous stitch. This stitch is often used for contour stitching.

  • Long seam

    Long stitch - always embroidered to the right. The thread is placed under the needle tip. The stitches can be of different lengths, and placed with different densities or in groups. Often used for edge stitching, buttonholes and to attach applications with.
