You can create simple leaves and flowers or geometric designs using street stitches arranged in groups. It also works well for creating textured looks in a variety of designs. Premark fabric, or sewing freestyle work, creates an infinite number of unique patterns. To stitch straight you will need a fabric, a needle and embroidery floss.
Straight Stitch Steps
To do a simple stitching work, follow these simple steps:
1. Bring the needle through the fabric to the desired start.
2. Insert the needle into the fabric at the opposite end of the stitch where indicated in the pattern
Straight knitting is easy to make for flowers, leaves or stems.
Potential Pitfalls
There are several common issues with straight stitching:
1. Depending on how your finished embroidery will be used, be aware that the stitches are not too long or they may be stuck. A sprinkled stitch will leak as the front and the next stitch will be drawn towards it. This is especially true for embroidered clothing and home linens. For longer straight lines, try sewing instead.
2. Working several straight stitches in parallel with each other can also begin to pull the fabric. Avoid stabilizing your material before sewing.
Combinations
Straight stitching is so basic that it seems almost unnecessary to give directions. You can find it working in different style patterns, a stitch that acts as a building block for your embroidery.
The photo shows how straight stitching can become a star by working at different lengths. The example on the right is sometimes called the Point Russ Stitch, but it is really just a bunch of stitches.
