5. Using three strands of embroidery thread, work chain stitch
along stems.
For chain stitch- bring the needle to the right side of the
fabric on the transferred design line. Make a small loop with
the thread and hold it in place with your left thumb. Insert the
needle back where the thread first came up. Bring the needle
out a little to the left, over the thread loop.
Using three to six strands of embroidery thread, work satin
stitch for large leaves and flower petals.
For satin stitch- the embroidery stitches should be close
enough to cover the area WITHOUT OVERLAPPING THE
THREAD. Bring the thread to the RIGHT side of A, down at B,
up at C, etc.
Using six strand embroidery thread work lazy-daisy stitch for
small leaves and flowers.
For lazy-daisy stitch- bring the thread up and hold it in a
loop with the left thumb. Insert needle back where the thread
emerged. Then bring the needle out the length the stitch
desired and pull it through the loop. Make a small straight
stitch to anchor the loop at its crown.
Using three strands of embroidery thread, work French knots
at center of flowers.
For French knot- work with as many threads as desired and
use a large eyed needle. Bring thread to RIGHT side at A;
hold thread with thumb and forefinger in left hand; wind
thread around the needle two or three times. Still holding
thread firmly, slide on needle so that point of needle may be
inserted very close to A, but not in the same hole. Pull needle
to WRONG side, drawing up thread to form French Knot.
