Here is a short video where I’m stitching a few petals. Regardless of the letter you’ll be stitching, you can use the exact same process when stitching your flower.
STITCHING THE LETTER
STITCHES USED: Long and Short, Split Stitch, and French Knot Before starting I want to share with you a small trick I’m using for speeding up my stitching. Of course, hand-embroidery is all about winding down and enjoying the process, but once I reach that flow state I really dislike stopping to thread my needle with a different shade. What I usually do is thread a few needles with all the shades I’ll be using for the needlepainting piece I’m working on. This is a great way to switch between shades much faster and in the end enjoy the process more. For the entire flower we’ll be using just 1 strand of thread, regardless the shade. When stitching the final French Knot details, when we’ll be using 4 strands of thread. Congratulations! Your floral letter is now ready for gifting or display!
