Learning path · 6 tutorials · Easy · about 46 minEmbroidery Stitch StarterThis course is for anyone who wants to start hand embroidery and learn the stitches that show up in almost every pattern. You work through five stitches in order: backstitch for clean outlines, chain stitch for bold lines, satin stitch for smooth filled shapes, the French knot for dots and flower centers, and the lazy daisy for quick little petals. The last lesson shows four ways to finish the back of your hoop, so your stitching is ready to hang on the wall or give as a gift. To start, you need a 6-inch embroidery hoop, a few embroidery needles, six-strand cotton embroidery floss in colors you like, a piece of plain cotton or linen fabric, small sharp scissors, and a fabric marking pen or pencil for drawing your design. A milliner needle makes French knots much easier, and for finishing you will want a scrap of backing fabric or a sheet of stiff felt. Hands-on time adds up to a little over two hours, and satin stitch is the longest lesson at about 35 minutes. Short sittings work well, and a good lamp helps. Once these stitches feel comfortable, try a small design that uses several of them together, such as an embroidered bee or a butterfly.Start the path
