I have sewn garments for most of my life, beginning with clothes for my Barbie doll. Sewing has become my vocation, and hand embroidery is my favorite indulgence. Whether it is decorating a 17th-century-style wooden box or embellishing a garment, I find the process stimulating and the results satisfying. There are a multitude of embroidery stitches that can be used, but I will show you how to stitch three, and how to combine them in a more complex embroidered motif. In this article, we'll go over embroidery materials and how to make the outline stitch, satin stitch, and raised knot stitch. Enjoy combining these stitches into your own designs.
