Modern Embroidery 101: Learn 15 Essential Hand Embroidery Stitches

1. Welcome & Intro: Have you been wanting to try hand embroidery or maybe start a mindful hobby? If so, I hope you'll join me today and start stitching. Hi, I'm Kathleen Lions. I'm an artist and digital marketer based in Nashville, Tennessee. I graduated from Audubn University with a BA in art and started my career as a graphic designer working outside of Chicago. Today, you'll find me working by day in the digital marketing space and pursuing my creative career on nights and weekends. So I work in the digital marketing space, graduate with a BA in Art. How did I get into Hanna Broidery? Well, it actually started during my pregnancy with our daughter Ella. We had a ton of gender neutral clothes from my son, Cayden and I wanted to find a way to make them uniquely hers. So I got a book on Hanna Broidery and it turned out to be easier than I thought and self satisfying to take these little gray sweaters and make them girly with something pink and her very favorite purple. Adding embroidery breathe new life into fabrics, whether it's your traditional artwork at a hoop or you're putting it on your clothes or accessories and personalizing them. It's such a fun and unique way to express your taste. So to get you started, in this class, we're going to learn 15 of the essential hand embroidery stitches. We'll start out easy and we'll work our way up. So what are we waiting for? Let's start stitching. 2. Class Project: For this class, you'll download the sampler pattern and then you will simply stitch each with its own unique stitch, but your choice of colors. So go ahead and download that. You'll need a few of the materials and supplies listed. Obviously, fabric, hoop, your needle and thread. And if you're wanting to use a water soluble, make sure you get that, but you can always trace and just use a heat erasable pen. Steps are pretty easy. You'll print out or draw onto your fabric with the pattern, and then you'll stitch each one as we go step by step through each of the stitches. Once you're done, you'll want to share your work. Feel free to add images of your final sampler, or if you're putting it on clothing, feel free to go ahead and dive right in. We can put these sampler patterns on anything, include some behind the scenes, whatever it is you want to share. Just share your favorite stitch or your favorite piece. Whatever you like, I'd love to see it. If you're sharing on social, make sure you hashtag arts stitches. Please please always feel free to reach out. I am happy to help. I'll see you in there. 3. Supplies: I've included some resources. You'll see those links below and then I'm going to walk through each piece that we'll be using. Again, not a lot for this round. We're just going to be doing the basics so we can learn the stitches. Now, I use a water soluble stabilizer and you'll see that in my videos. That is right here. I'll link it as well. Super easy. I have an ink jet printer. I print onto it, so really just download the PDF, print it out, cut it out, and stick it on. You can stitch right over this, and then you just wash it away. You got let it soak overnight. You can use a sprayer in the sink. It comes off pretty easily, and then you're ready to go. Alternatively, you can draw on fabric. You can also use a heat erasable pen. Those are really fun if you want a free hand or if you just want to trace. You'll also need a hoop. So Hoop, and then you don't need fabric to go in the hoop. I would encourage you to start with scraps if you're just learning, but you can also dive right in. If there's a piece of clothing on a collar or on a sleeve, where you want to start, do it. Grab the fabric, go ahead and start. There's lots of cute little there's flowers and there's mushrooms and things that would actually be really nice to add to a jacket or to a shirt. So feel free to pick your fabric, whether you're doing scraps or a piece of clothing or even a bag or accessory, a tilt would be great. And you'll sandwich that into your hoop. This always seems silly, but you also need scissors. Now, any scissors will do, but I love these. These are tiny little embroidery scissors. You can also travel with these. Yes, I have stitched on a plane. They're really great to be able to pop into your purse and stitch while you're on the go. You also need needles. Now, there are several types of needles. These are embroidery needles. There's cruel needles. I would suggest getting a few different and seeing what actually feels good in your hand. It's also going to depend on the weight. If you're using embroidery floss, embroidery is better. If you're going to be using yarn, you're going to need more of anele just make sure that whatever yarn you're using matches your needle. If it doesn't fit through the eye of the hole, it's too big or your needles too small. If you're having a hard time, there are threaders that's additional. I'm trying to keep this as minimal supply list as possible, but threaders are also awesome. Lastly, you will need you were embroidery floss. I have I have a few here. Pick some of your favorite colors. It really doesn't matter what color you use just as long as you're enjoying it. That's it. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out, but we're ready to get started. 4. Straight Stitch: Hello, my artsy friends. Today, we're gonna be learning the straight stitch. So let's dive in. We're starting with the adhesive water soluble stabilizer. I'll have that linked. I use this a lot. You can stitch right over it. So as you can see, I just stuck it on. I'm gonna come up through the back. And then straight down through the front. And that is our straight stitch. So in a nutshell, that's a straight stitch. Up through the back, down through the front for that stitch length. So here I'm making some floral elements, and I'm just going to go around here. I'm going to finish this flour. So up through the back down through the front, that's a straight stitch. You'll also hear it called a seed stitch, a running stitch. These are all variations. A single stitch. I've seen it, as well. They're all variations of this very simple technique where you're just coming up through the back and down through the front. So again, with this water soluble stabilizer, I'm able to print this out. I use an ink gent printer, and then I just cut it out and stick it straight onto my fabric. You could be putting this on a toe. You can put it on a jacket. Here I'm just using a scrap piece of fabric to demonstrate this. And I'm going to go ahead and speed around, do these flowers, and then we'll do some of the leaf elements. So, again, this is a straight stitch. This is the most basic of the stitches that you'll use in your hand embroidery, and it's super easy to get started. Again, if you don't want to use the water soluble stabilizer, you can also draw on your fabric. Just make sure you cover your lines. Or you can look at heat erasable pens and markers. They're awesome. Just Google it. There's plenty on Amazon. You just use heat. You can use an iron. You can use hair dryer, and it will erase those lines for you. So here where I'm doing these leaf elements, this is what I would consider more of a seed stitch. So think of filling more like sprinkles in a cupcake or something. You'd see it there. It's just another variation of this straight stitch. And we're about done. And there you have it. Straight stitch. Thank you for stitching with me today.

Today we're going to be learning the backstitch. Let's dipe in. So we're starting with a water soluble stabilizer. I'm sticking that on, and then I'm just going to come up through the mac with my needle and straight back down to start that initial straight stitch. Now for the backstitch, I'm going to come ahead one stitch length. And then when I come back down through the front, I'm going to be going into the same hole as my last stitch. So that ending hole of the initial stitch, I'm going to go into that. And then I'm going to repeat that all the way around. So that is the pattern for the backstitch, going up a stitch length and then coming back down and sharing that same hole from my previous stitch. This is a great way to outline. It's great for hand lettering. Just keep in mind as you have curves, you might need to go a little bit smaller, as you're determining your stitch length, be sure to note that. Again, it doesn't have to be perfect. Sometimes those little imperfections are what make our work unique. That's the backstitch. Thank you for stitching with me today. Be sure to download your free pattern sampler and guide wherever you're watching this lesson. I'll see you next time. Happy stitching. 6. Whipped Back Stitch: Hello, my artsy friends. Today we're going to be learning the whipped backstitch. So let's dive in. So we're starting with our water soluble stabilizer. I'm going to stick this on, and I'm going to go ahead and get my backstitch done. So go ahead and outline this with a backstitch, and then we're going to come back. And for the whipped backstitch, we're going to come up at the beginning of our backstitch, and we're actually just going to be wrapping it. So I'm going to pull this all the way through and then just go under my first stitch, pull that through, and then I'm going to continue wrapping in that motion. So I'll come back over under the next stitch. Pull that through. And you can see here with the two different colors, it's going to start creating this rope like look. So that's the whipped backstitch. Lay down the foundation with your backstitch, and then you come back through, and you're just going to simply wrap stitch by stitch around your piece. So I'm going to go ahead and speed this up so you can see it the finished product. Again, you can do this with two different colors. It's really nice at the holidays. You do canny canes. But it also just creates this really cool, like, rope like texture. And that's it. That's our whipped backstitch. Check it out. Thank you for stitching with me today. Be sure to download your free pattern sampler and guide wherever you're watching this lesson. I'll see you next time. Happy stitching. 7. Couching Technique: Hello, my RC friends. And this video we'll be covering the couching stitch and technique. So let's get started. We're starting with a water soluble stabilizer. I'm gonna stick this on. And then I am going to secure that I'm gonna come up through the back and back down. You don't have to do this. You could let your thread be loose. I just want to keep this a little bit secure while I'm showing you this technique. So now that I have that in place, I'm going to move it around a little bit just so I can get some of the shape. I don't want to have too much extra thread. And now for the couching technique, I'm going to come up through the back and straight back down just over my initial thread. So I'm gonna be locking that thread in place. And that is our couching stitch. So this comes in handy, especially you've seen the holidays. You have those really chunky yarns. This is a good way that if you want to do hand lettering on a sweater, but, you know, that chunky yarns not going through a yarn needle. You can actually attach it to something using this technique. So I'm coming up through the back, straight back down, and I am just locking this other thread in place to create the outline of this shape. It could be a shape. It could be letters. It has so many different ways that you can use this accent. So again, up through the mac and straight back down. This is the couching technique. You're just adding accents or locking in a shape. You're using over another thread to either create a shape or a letter. It could be so many different things. It's just a great way to add some texture too if you're wanting to just add a little variety to your piece. I'm going to speed this up and finish it up so you can see the final product. But this is our couching technique. Check it out. Thank you for stitching with me today. Be sure to download your free pattern sampler and guide wherever you're watching this lesson. I'll see you next time. Happy stitching. 8. Tassel Technique: Hello, my arts friends. And this video we'll be going over the tassel technique. Let's jump in. We're gonna start with our water soluble stabilizer, so I printed on that and I'm just gonna cut it out and stick it on here. And then I'm gonna start wrapping the floss around my fingers. I'm using the full floss, so all six strands, and I'm going to get it to a point where I like how full it is. Then I'm just going to take a piece of that. I'm going to tie it around the bottom and knot that, make sure it's really tight. And then I'm going to secure it. So I'm securing this with a satin stitch coming up through the back, down through the front side by side by side, and making sure that that's secured really well. Then I'm just going to be cutting to create my tassel. All those loops, we're just going to cut those apart, and then I'm going to give it a little bit of a haircut, and it creates this really cool textured effect, and that's the tassel technique. Thank you for stitching with me today. Be sure to download your free pattern sampler and guide wherever you're watching this lesson. I'll see you next time. Happy stitching. 9. Stem Stitch: Hello, my artsy friends. In this video, we'll be learning the stem stitch. So let's dive in. We're starting with a water soluble stabilizer, so I've printed on that, I cut it out, and I'm just sticking it straight onto my fabric. I'm going to come up through the back and down through the front like a straight stitch. But instead of letting that stitch go all the way down, I'm actually going to keep it off to the side and create a loop. And once I have that loop, I'm going to come back up. So I'm going to create this loop. I'm going to a it off to the left here. And I'm going to come back up through the back about halfway through that stitch. And this is what's going to create this kind of overlapping effect. So now I can let that go all the way tight. I'm going to pull it, and then I'm going to go up another stitch length. Now, when I come up this time, I'm going to be sharing that last stitch with my initial stitch. So the same hole of that last hole of the initial stitch. So it's similar to the backstitch, if you're familiar. And then it's just going to create this really nice overlapping effect as I continue to go one forward, come back, come up through the middle, and tighten it, and then repeat that. So it's the same pattern going go down. G to create a little loop. So a little too tight there. I'm going to create a loop and then I'm going to come up through the center of that. And then once I come up through the center, I'll let that tighten. Again, this is a stem stitch, so it's creating this really nice botanical type element, but it can be used for outlining and hand lettering, but you just continue to repeat that coming up through the center and fill out the rest of it. And that's the stem stitch. Thank you for stitching with me today. Be sure to download your free pattern sampler and guide wherever you're watching this lesson. I'll see you next time. Happy stitching. 10. Long and Short Stitch: Hello, my Aarti friends. Today, we're gonna be learning belong in short Stitch. It is also known as the brick stitch. Let's jump in. I'm starting with a water soluble stabilizer. I print it on this and cut it out. I'm just sticking it onto my fabric here, and I'm going to come up through the back down through the front with a straight stitch. And I'm gonna get this started with a shorter stitch and then I'm going to come up through the back. And down through the front, and I'm going to make this stitch maybe twice as long as that stitch. Now, you can make these any length that you'd like. This is long and short. It's also called a brick stitch. So if you want to give it more of a brick layer, you could stay a little more uniform. I like mixing these up a little bit and kind of following the shape of whatever I'm stitching. So my next stitch here is going to be short again. So I'm going to come up through the back down through the front, and this is essentially a backstitch. We're just varying our lengths instead of having a uniform, like you typically would with a backstitch this is really great for filling in shapes and giving a little more texture. I'm using the full floss here. But you can play around with that as well and create some different levels along with your textures. So I'm going to speed this up a little bit, and then I'm going to show you I like to also use a heat erasable pen, especially when I'm doing this type of stitch as a filler to help guide me as I'm filling in the shape, a little satin stitch here for the shadow. And then on top, I'm going to create these kind of wave marks with my heat erasable pen, and again, that is going to help guide me as I'm filling in the top of this mushroom. I'm going to speed this up, and this is our long and short stitch. Check it out. Thank you for stitching with me today. Be sure to download your free pattern sampler and guide wherever you're watching this lesson. I'll see you next time. Happy stitching. 11. Chain Stitch: Hello, my Rz friends. And this video, we'll be learning the chain stitch. Let's dive in. Starting with a water soluble stabilizer, I printed that and cut it out. I'm just sticking that onto my fabric here and I'm going to come up through the back down through the front, and I'm actually gonna be coming down in the same hole where I came up. And I'm gonna allow a loop to form. So I'm not going to go all the way through that would just take out my thread. And instead, I'm going to come up a stitch length and come up through the back again. And I'm going to kind of hook that loop onto my needle and then pull it through. And that is our chain stitch. We're gonna repeat that I'm going to go down through that same hole. Up through the back, and again, about a stitch length and allow my loop to hook onto my needle and go ahead and pull that through and secure it by pulling that tight. And I'm just going to continue this. All the way around, I'm going to secure it at the end with a little straight stitch, which is similar to the lazy daisy, if you're familiar. And we're gonna keep going around. So once I finish here at the end, I'm just going to come up and then write back down to secure it to end that line. So I'm going to fill in the other two lines. I'm going to speed this up. But again, it's up through the back, down through the front, create a loop, and then secure that loop coming up through the center and back down. And that's it. That's our chain stitch. Thank you for stitching with me today. Be sure to download your free pattern sampler and guide wherever you're watching this lesson. I'll see you next time. Happy stitching. 12. Lazy Daisy Stitch: Hello, my artsy friends. And this video we'll be learning the Lazy Daisy. Let's jump in. Starting with a water soluble stabilizer. I printed this out, cut it, and now I'm just gonna stick it onto my fabric. I'm gonna come up through the back. I'm gonna go through the center, and then I come back down in that same home. If you're familiar with the chain stitch, this is the same thing. They're just detached. So I'm going to come up through the middle there at the end of my petal, and I'm going to hook that loop onto my needle and pull that tot. Now, to secure it, I'm going to go right back down just over that floss, and that creates one of my petals. I'm gonna repeat this. This is, again, the lazy daisy. It can be used for obviously, daisies. But it's also a great stitch for leaves. So if you want to have a couple of different leaves, I'm going to do some of these here to look more like leaves. But you could actually make a stem and then have these shooting off of it, and that creates more of a greenery type effect, or you can use it as small flower accents. It's a really nice stitch to add some floral elements to your work. So I'm gonna speed this up. And like I said, I will go ahead and fill in a couple of these so we get that greenery effect. And this is our lazy daisy. Check it out. Thank you for stitching with me today. Be sure to download your free pattern sampler and guide wherever you're watching this lesson. I'll see you next time. Happy stitching. 13. Satin Stitch: Hello, my arty friends, in this video, we'll be learning the satin stitch. Let's jump in. Starting with a water soluble stabilizer, I printed on this, and I cut it out, so I'm just sticking that on my fabric. I'm gonna come up through the back, down through the front. I'm splitting this centerpiece here. I do a lot with satin stitches just to help keep me a little more even as I'm working. And I'm gonna come up again through the back, down through the front, right next to Matt first stitch. So these are essentially straight stitches that are side by side by side, and I'm going to keep them as close as possible because my goal here is to fill the shape. So the satin stitch is great for filling shapes. I would advise keeping them on the smaller side if you have some larger areas, maybe explore the long and short stitch. But the satin stitch is great for filling in small areas and doing it fairly quickly. So I'm gonna speed this up here. Again, I do like to split my shapes just to help keep it a little more consistent and keep my stitches from getting too wonky. And that's it. Quickly filling this in, this is our satin stitch. Check it out. Thank you for stitching with me today. Be sure to download your free pattern sampler and guide wherever you're watching this lesson. I'll see you next time. Happy stitching. 14. Leaf Stitch: Hello, my untie friends. Today, we're gonna be learning the leaf stitch. Let's dive in. Starting with a water soluble stabilizer, I printed this, cut it out, and I'm just gonna stick it here onto my fabric and get started. It's gonna come up through the back, down through the front, and I'm gonna come up at the top of my leaf, and then I'm going to come about three quarters of the way down in the center and push that back through. Now when I come back up, I'm going to the left of my initial stitch. And then I'm going to go back down just over to the right of that first line. So I'm going to be crossing over. And that's the most important part of this is to make sure that you're getting that crossover so that you're getting the leaf effect. It's going to create this seam down the middle. So I'm going to come up on the other opposite side, so on the right side, and then back over and cross over to the left. So I'm going to keep doing this down the edge of my leaf. I'm gonna come up and then cross over my center and just back down to the opposite side. So again, I'm going to continue doing this through the leaf, and I'm going to go all the way down until I hit the bottom and I run out of space to fill, and I'm gonna do that for all three of these. So I'll speed this up so you can see the final effect. But it's just up down, crossover, and the crossover is the most important piece to make sure that you're going to get that seam for the leaf stitch. And we're all done. Check it out. Thank you for stitching with me today. Be sure to download your free pattern sampler and guide wherever you're watching this lesson. I'll see you next time. Happy stitching. 15. Woven Wheel Technique: Hello, my artsy friends. In this video, we'll be covering the woven wheel technique. Let's jump in. Starting with a water soluble stabilizer, I print it on this and cut it out, just sticking it here to the fabric and going to get started. So I'm gonna come up through the back, down through the front, and I'm going to create these five straight stitches that are going to be the base of my woven wheel. Just gonna do that quickly and just go around circle again, up through the back, down through the front. They are all going to share that center hole, so they'll all be touching. So I'm going to finish this up, and then we'll start the woven technique. So the woven wheel, I think it's also called the spider stitch. I think of it as a rose. It really creates this nice floral element. And we do that by coming up near that center. We're going to go over our first stitch under the next, and then over and under, that is it. We just continue to weave over and under around the entire circle. Once we get to the point where that's filled, then you just go straight back down through your fabric and knot it to secure it. So again, this is the woven wheel technique, and it really is mostly weaving. So you'll do your five foundational stitches and then you'll continue to weave going over and under each stitch until you fill the shape. So I'm going to speed this up so you can see how it looks once we've gotten it filled and give you a couple examples with the other two. Now, depending on what thread and fabric you're working with, you may go bigger or smaller. Yarn roses are so much fun to make, so I highly recommend experimenting with those. But again, it's the same idea where you're laying your five foundational stitches and then weaving over and under. And that is our woven wheel stitch. Checking out. Thank you for stitching with me today. Be sure to download your free pattern sampler and guide wherever you're watching this lesson. I'll see you next time. Happy stitching. 16. French Knot Technique: Hello, my RS friends. And this video we'll be covering the French knot. Let's jump in. Starting with a water soluble stabilizer. I printed on this, cut it out. Going to attach it here. And I'm going to go ahead and do a backstitch for these stems, and then we'll get started with the French knot. It's going to come up through the back. I go to wrap it two to three times and then push it down right next to where I came out. So this is going to create a knot. I'm going to keep this parallel to my hoop. Sorry, it's getting stuck. And then I'm just going to pull that right on through. So we'll do that a couple more times. Now, be patient with yourself. French knots are notoriously difficult. So up through the back, go to wrap it two to three times and then come back down right next to where I came up. Go ahead and keep the other side taut with my other hand and let that slide on through. Okay, one more time. You notice I did goof up a little bit there. So be kind to yourself as you're wrapping. Sometimes it gets a little tricky. So wrap two to three times and then back down right next to that initial stitch, Hold it out to the side and let that start going through, and then let it go. There's your French knot. So I'm going to finish this up so you can see it all completed. But again, please be kind to yourself. These are difficult to get the hang of, but once you get some wraps, they start coming a little more naturally. Wrapping it up here, and this is our French knot. Check it out. Thank you for stitching with me today. Be sure to download your free pattern sampler and guide wherever you're watching this lesson. I'll see you next time. Happy stitching. 17. Pistil Stitch: Hello, my artsy friends. And this video will be covering how to do a pistol stitch. Let's jump in. Starting with a water soluble stabilizer, I printed on this and cut it out, just sticking it onto my fabric here and getting started. It's coming up through the back. And much like the French knot, we're gonna wrap two to three times, but instead of going right next to where I came out, I'm actually going to extend it. So this is going to create a knot. And this is called the pistol stitch. So I'm going to come up again. I'm gonna be using the same center for each of these pistol stitches. This creates the center of a flower. It's a really great way to create that center element. So again, I'm going to come up through the back, wrap two to three times, and just go back down a little bit further away from my initial stitch than we do with the French knot. So do a couple more times so you can see the finished piece, but this is our pistol stitch. Okay, check it out. Thank you for stitching with me today. Be sure to download your free pattern sampler and guide wherever you're watching this lesson. I'll see you next time. Happy stitching. 18. Turkey Work Technique: Hello, Artie friends. In this video, we're gonna be covering some turkey work. So let's jump in. Starting with a water soluble stabilizer. I printed on this. I'm just attaching it here to my fabric, and I'm gonna jump in. So for our first turkey work technique. We're going to come up through the back, down through the front, and I'm be creating essentially a straight stitch. I'm going to keep a little loop here, and then I'm going to come up right in the middle. Now, the goal of this is that that first stitch is going to lock in this piece that we're pulling up. So I'll continue referring to those as lock stitch. So we're going to do that, pull it all the way through, and then we're going to make this loop. We're going to foul the curve of this flower here and I'm going to go back down. And then when I come up, I'm going to be creating that lock stitch again. So I'm going to come up on either side of this stitch and lock it in. So I'm going to come up through the back. And again, this is just a straight stitch so we're coming up and then right back down to secure that petal. Okay, now for the next one, this is where it becomes a little tricky but important. You're going to come up in that same hole that created that petal line. So not the lock stitch, but the other stitch with the hole. So you're going to come up and share that to make your next petal. So we're going to curve this around, go back down and repeat it again where we're going to lock this in place. So pull that through. We'll come back up on either side of this and lock it in with that straight stitch. Now, I'm going to end up speeding this up so that I continue around, and then we'll come back in. We're gonna do a different version where we're going to create a little more texture. So we're going to leave the loops here. So I'm going to lock that in, and then I'm going to go around and finish the other petals. So for the center, we're actually going to come from the top. So we're going from front to back, and I'm going to leave that little tassel there. So this is going to create loops, but we're eventually going to cut it to make some texture. So same idea. We're going to come up on either side of this and lock it in. So up from the back down through the front, we're going to lock that little piece in place. Now, as you continue to build these and you do layers, you want to do kind of a brick effect where you're layering up against your last row or your last round. So I'm going to come up again in that same hole where my fringe piece is and back down. And then we're going to lock this in place too. This is going to create the same loops that we just did. The difference will be at the end when we cut it to create some texture. Now, the idea of this is the more that you use and the more rows that you do, the larger your pile is going to be and the fluffier and more texture you're going to have. So again, that's why the brick layer is important. So I'm trying to offset my initial layer of the pink with the petals, and I'm going kind of opposite with this round in here. So I'm going to come up through again where that line came through. And then back down and lock it in place. We're going to repeat that all the way around, and then I will meet you back here in a little bit to cut and give it a little bit of style. So one more. We'll lock this in place, and then I'll speed around. So as I'm filling this, you can see how much more volume we have. Now imagine if you go more layers, you could totally fill in this centerpiece, that would be so fun. I'm just going to do this on. We're cutting the loops to give it a little more of that fringe and then I'll show you once it's done, how that creates a center versus the loops for the petals. Check it out. There's our turkey work. Two variations. Again, you could pile this on as much as you want to get as much volume. It's a really fun stitch. Thank you for stitching with me today.
