Seamly Stitching - Part 2
Welcome to Hand Embroidery 101 - The Embroidery Sampler!!!
Once a month, on the second Tuesday, I will be posting Hand Embroidery Stitches in a 12-part series for my local Quilt Guild. We're just regular people with the desire to bring the skill into our personal repertoire! A dozen or so of us decided that we all wanted to learn the basics of Hand Embroidery so I volunteered to "Lead the Pack" so to speak. :-) Here comes Part 2 with 3 more stitches.

embroidery) a stitch in which the thread is wound around the needle, which is
then passed back through the fabric at almost the same point to form a small
dot.
