A stem stitch is like a back stitch, but instead of attaching the stitches to the ends you are about to bring the needle for the stitch right next to the last stitch.
Make a small stitch about the length of the rice paddy. Return the needle through the fabric to the right or left side of the previous stitch, close to the end of the stitch as shown in the second photo. Start your new stitch in the same direction you already sew the bottom.
This stitch is the easiest to practice with drawn lines - it can be difficult to know where each stitch should end when you try without the line.
Step 9: How to Stitch Satin
Satin Stitch is great for adding large splashes of color to your embroidereds - to meet the characters and shapes and all sorts of things!
Satin stitching can be done in several ways. Could You can create an outline of any size with backstitching and then fill it in. You can do the satin stitch yourself without any outline. You can backstitch an outline, and then completely satin stitch on top of it to get some raised area.
To practice satin stitch, first draw a simple shape on your fabric. Then use a backstitch to outline it. Then you can simply move the size back and forth (I always want to start in the middle, but this is a personal choice.) Until it is full.
Try the other two methods again!
There are two important things about satin stitch:
- The outline is done as much as possible so your satin stitch looks nice and full - you can always go back and fill those tacky spots with seeds and straight stitching, but it's easy to get it for the first time!
- । Do not continue your satin stitch behind your work. This will ruin your embroidery thread and make your work heavy! To avoid this, bring you the thread for the first time just in front of the left outline. Then, bring it across and in the lower right. Instead of crossing the back of the fabric to the left side of the line, bring the needle right in front wherever you removed it. This way you are saving threads and time.
