Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches I hope you find this needlework dictionary useful and with it able to improve your hand embroidery skills. To assist those who are new to the craft of hand embroidery I have categorised each stitch as to its degree of difficulty. An icon of a single pair of scissors indicates that the stitch is easy to work and you should not hesitate to try it. If you are new to learning needlework. If you see two scissors, the stitch requires more skill. Three scissors indicate that the stitch needs skill and practice. If you normally have problems following embroidery illustrations the computer can help you.

Hand Sew Without The Knot 05 Apr 2013 April 5, 2013 We’re brushing the dust off our sewing skills and revisiting some essential techniques in sewing to share with you! Whether you’ve just begun sewing or have been stitching for decades, it’s always good to reassess your techniques and see what’s new in the sewing world. We’re scrubbing the web for sewing techniques and today’s technique is a fun alternative to the traditional hand-sewing knot. It might just transform the way you secure your thread, so follow us after the jump! Your hand-sewing (and knotting) techniques usually differ between projects, as your need for a secure knot can vary on a sliding scale. In just three easy steps, you can create a knot that is secure without the hanging tail, particularly important if your fabric will be flattened for display or stitched over for quilting. We love this hand-sewing technique — what’s your favorite way to start off a knot? About the Author

Free Sewing eBooks Sew on a Button Sitting here and wondering what my next topic for my blog will be and with the major holidays having passed (ok I know that Memorial Day and 4th July is just right around the corner and if I wait any longer those too will also pass me by). But, I knew there was one that I haven’t attempted and needed to accomplish – How Many Ways To Sew On A Button…? yes, I’m challenging myself. So, with that I started the other day and I couldn’t stop and I’m still going and probably will still go until I’ve exhausted myself on the 2 hole…(oh yes I do plan on attempting the 4-hole). What boggles the brain is who would have thought that a button, needle and thread would have such control… Once you start you can’t stop…. So sit back as I take you thru this on going journey and if anyone would like to join me…we welcome you to join in on the fun. You may want to prepare yourself – who would have thought this was possible? So here are just a few ways… what about just knotting it from the top or adding a bow.
The Addicted Cross Stitcher's Page The Addicted Cross Stitcher Over the years, cross stitch has been refered to as the gentle art. This artform has been taught to the young and passed down through the generations. Once used as a marketing tool to show how marriageable a young woman was, it now has taken on a more exciting art form (in my humble opinion).
