Some basic embroidery stitches

Posted on Feb 5, 2019 by The Proof Angel

I’ve come upon this quick guide to basic embroidery stitches, which I thought would be worth sharing. As the author says, it is amazing how much you can achieve with a few basic stitches.

Although I am surprised they have missed out herringbone stitch, which is one of my favourites. And how do people manage without feather stitch and all its variations?

But I am getting carried away. We are talking basic stitches here.
