How To Sew The Puffy Satin Stitch

Last time I'd demonstrated how to do the Bullion Stitch. You might notice that I used Fishbone Stitch to do the leaves. Although you might find the leaves looked pretty, you may think that they are too flat to go with the Bullion Rose.

So now I am going to show you how to do a puffy leaf using the Satin Stitch. A regular Satin Stitch is used to fill in a pattern and using a little trick you can make a Satin Stitch have life-like depth.

I will show you how to use a Long and Short Stitch to give shadings to your flower petals next week.

Use a Bullion Knot Rose and Add Depth to Your Design

Although it looks a little bit advanced, after  a little bit of practice, you can easily make a very beautiful and dimensional flower with the bullion knot.

A quick tip, if you want the petal to be curled up a little bit, make sure the wrapping is longer than the distance of the stitch.

How to Sew The Split Stitch

Hi everyone, it's about time to learn another stitching method.  Today I am going to show you how to do a Split Stitch.  Split stitch creates more decorative look if you want to do a fine line. After you complete the line, it will look like tiny chain stitch, but a lot more delicate.

The Split Stitch is suitable for fine line or embroider pattern which is small in size. I am going to show you how to embroider a string of berries by using split stitch and French knots.

That's it for now, and I see you again next week!

How To Personalize A Wedding Gift

Looking for a perfect wedding gift for your best friend is a tough job. Recently I am looking for a wedding gift for my best friend and I came up with an idea to make it special!

Let me show you how to turn an ordinary gift to a special one by adding some personalized elements.

As you can see, it's not that hard and won't take long.  You can actually do the same to your clothes too. Give it a try!

How to Sew The Fishbone Stitch

Let's use the Fishbone Stitch to fill leaf shapes, as the stitch creates a "vein" down the center of the leaf.  It's not difficult at all. Try it!

The advantage of fish bone stitch is the “vein” is obvious at the center after you complete it and you don’t have to do anything about it afterwards! Once you master the technique, you can play around with the stitching for different shapes of leaves.

For how to use Fly Stitch to make the stem and flower, click here to check out our last week tutorial.  It's easy too!
