Top 9 Basic Stitches to Re(learn)

Hi Stitchers-

I’ve been working on a Beginner Embroidery Workbook. I’m getting super close to finishing (stay tuned for the launch!)

In the meantime, I wanted to go back to basics, whether you are a pro embroiderer or first getting started. 

ed. Whether you’re revisiting familiar stitches or trying them for the first time, these basics will help you build a strong foundation and boost your confidence with every project.

 When I first started embroidery—and even now, sometimes—I often wondered if I was doing a stitch correctly. To make things easier for you, I’ve compiled my Top 9 Stitches to (Re)Learn, helping you get back to the basics with confidence.

1. Straight Stitch
2. Back Stitch
3. Split Stitch
4. Stem Stitch
5. Satin Stitch
6. French Knot
   
7. Lazy Daisy
8. Chain Stitch
9. Long & Short Stitch

What are your favorite stiches?  Do you want to see more?  Which ones?
