Embroidery Stitches
1. Back stitch- the most often
used to outline a design. This
stitch also forms the base line for
other embroidery stitches
2. Bullion stitch- a single
detached stitch that is used for
filling in a design area. Rows of
bullion stitches may also be used
to outline a design.
It is recommended that one
uses a needle with a small eye
for ease in pulling
3. Chain stitch- one of the
more popular stitches used
for outlining. When worked
in close rows, chain stitches
make good stitches for filling
the design area.
4. Cross-stitch- stitched formed
by two crossing arms and may
be used for outlining, as borders
or to fill in an entire area
5. Feather stitch- a stitch with
a loop and stitches evenly
worked on both left and right
sides of a design area.
6. Fish Bone- a kind of filling
stitch which is ideal for making
leaves or feathers.
It requires us to divide the
pattern into two and each side
is filled alternately giving it a
plaited effect in the centre, thus
ideal to make leaves or feathers.
7. French knot- a single
detached stitched used primarily
to fill in a design area.
It is a popular stitch among
embroiderers in that it can be
used to create the eyes on an
embroidered face or the
center of a flower.
8. Herringbone stitch- a basic
overlapping stitch popular for
its use in borders.
9. Lazy daisy chain stitch- also
called detached chain stitch,
this stitch is work in a circle to
resemble the petals of a
flower.
10. Looped stitch- a very
decorative stitch and can be
experimented with threads for
various colors over borders.
Close layers of this stitch can
create wonderful effects on a
pattern.
11. Running stitch- considered
being the easiest stitch for
outlining.
12. Satin stitch- a solid filling
stitch that is used to cover a
design area with long, straight
stitches worked very close
together
13. Split- done using quite
thick threads, such as wool. It
was used as an outlining stitch
or as a filling stitch.
14. Seed- also known as rice
grain stitch. Stitch uses simple
straight stitches in a single
direction to fill in patterns.
It has shorter stitches above the
fabric and longer stitches on the
reverse side. They remind of
strawberry seeds, probably,
which inspired its name.
15. Stem Stitch- basically an
outline stitch, this stitch is
usually used for flower stems,
and outlines.
It can only be used as filling,
rows of Stem stitch worked
closely together within a shape
until it is filled completely.
