Embroidery stitches

BLANKET STITCH

Come up at point 1. Go down at point 2 and come back up at point 3, keeping the needle over the working thread. Pull the thread to create a right angle.

LAZY DAISY STITCH
This stitch is perfect for flower petals. Come up at point 1, then go back down at point 1, leaving a small loop. Come up through the loop at point 2, then go down at point 3 (next to point 2, but not the same hole).


BACKSTITCH
Backstitch is one of the most popular stitches so if you would like to learn sewing, this is one of the must - haves. Come up from the back at point 1, then go down at point 2. Come up at point 3, then go back to point 1 and bring the needle through to the back.
