Stitches:
STEM STITCH

Stem stitch creates a thin line and can be used to outline embroidered shapes,
to form flower and plant stems and a variety of other applications.
Bring your needle up through the fabric just above the marked line of your
pattern (1). Insert the needle one stitch length away from point 1 and just
below the pattern line (2). Come back up a little less than halfway between
points 1 and 2, just above the line (3). Repeat this process, going back down
just below the line at point 4.

SATIN STITCH

Satin Stitch is a basic hand embroidery stitch that can be used to fill any small
design.
Start with inserting the needle up from behind your hoop at 1. Insert the
needle at the desired distance at 2. Again, pierce it just next to the 1 (3) and
insert the needle at the desired distance just next to the 2 (4). Your next stitch
will always start across from the end of the last one. The stitch should be
closely stitched together without gap. Repeat the process to make additional
stitches, always coming up and going back down on the opposite side from
where your needle came up or went down.

TIPS: It's easier to start in the middle of the shape and work outward toward
each end. Take care that you don't pull the stitches too tight or it will pull the
fabric in and cause puckering.

FISHBONE STITCH

This stitch is excellent for foliage, producing a padded ridge where stitches
overlap at the middle which looks like the central vein in a leaf.
Step 1: Work one straight stitch in the centre by bringing the needle up at 1
and taking it down at 2. Come up at 3, take the needle down at 4 and come up
and out at 5.
Step 2: Take the thread down and across the bottom of the previous stitch by
inserting the needle at 6 (which is to the left of 4) then bring the needle up and
out at 7.
Step 3: Repeat the sequence from 3 to 6.

How to transfer pattern?

You can mark or transfer an embroidery design on fabric in a variety of ways,
but easiest way to transfer embroidery pattern is with carbon paper.
To transfer a design using transfer paper, lay the fabric face-up on a hard
surface, such as a kitchen counter. Center the transfer paper over the fabric
having the waxy ink toward the fabric, and place the pattern on top of the
transfer paper. Transfer the design to the fabric using a stylus or empty ball-
point marking pen. Be sure to press hard enough with the stylus to transfer the
design to the fabric through the layers of paper.
Happy stitching!!
