RUNNING STITCH
Procedure:
Step 1. Begin the running stitch by poking your threaded
needle up through the fabric.

Step 2. Poke the needle back down through the fabric

next to where you just came up, and pull the thread down
into your first stitch.

Step 3. Now poke your needle back up through the fabric,

leaving a space from the previous stitch. Then poke the
needle back down through the fabric again making your
second stitch.
Back Stitch
Procedure:
Step 1:
Begin the backstitch by poking the needle up through the fabric, and then
back down to make a single stitch. Then poke the needle back up through
the fabric a space away from the first stitch, as if you were doing the
running stitch.

Step 2:
Now poke your needle back down through the fabric at the end of the
first stitch. This is the "back" part of the backstitch.

Step 3: Now poke your needle up through the fabric a space away from
the previous stitch. You will then stitch back again. Just repeat this pattern
of stitching and you are good to go!
Cross Stitch
Procedure:
Step 1: Reading a cross stitch chart.
Step 2: Prepare your fabric.
Step 3: Find the center of your fabric.
Step 4: Using a hoop or frame.
Step 5: Prepare your thread.
Step 6: Thread your needle.
Step 7: Making a row of cross stitches.
French Knot
Procedure:
• Step 1: You will need both hands (at least I do), so set your hoop in your lap or work surface. With your
non-needle hand pinch the floss a few inches from where it exits the fabric (where arrow is pointing). Hold
it taut with your hand not holding the needle (that's important). 

• Step 2: Place your needle in front of this stretch of floss. Notice the needle is in front of the floss, not
coming from behind it. This will make the next step easier, and will prevent the knot from going all wonky
later on.

• Step 3: Wind the floss around the needle once or twice (shown winding twice), depending on if you want a
bigger or smaller knot. Continue the tension of the floss with your left hand (non-needle hand) to prevent
it from uncoiling.

• Step 4: Okay, you've wound around the needle, the coil is pulled nice and taut. Next, (this is an important
one) re-insert the tip of your needle just next to, but not into the same exit point on your fabric. If you
enter the same hole, your knot may pop all the way through and disappear when you finish (and you say
"wha?"). So, simply return at a point a little bit away from the exit point. And hold it right there! Keep your
needle in this position. Don't push it all the way through juuust yet. The next step is an even more
important one

• Step 5: Remember your non-needle hand pinching the length of floss? Remember? Wake it up! This is
when it goes to work. Give the floss a little downward tug with that hand, so that the coil will tighten up,
and slide down your needle to make a little bundle against the surface of your fabric.

Step 6: With your coil snugly held in position against the surface, now push your needle all the way
through!
Chain Stitch
Procedure:

Step 1 Trace a line onto your fabric using your embroidery transfer
pen.
Step 2 Secure your fabric into your embroidery hoop.
Step 3 Begin your stitch, At the beginning of your traced line,
stitch up through the fabric from back to front. Make sure to leave
enough floss on the back of your work to weave in or tie a knot
when you are finished.
Step 4 Continue stitching in this way until you reach the end of
your traced line.
Step 5 Weave the end of your floss into your final stitches to
secure it.
Satin Stitch
Procedure:
Step 1 Bring the needle out through A and put it in
through B. So, that makes a stitch which covers a
small area between the stitch lines.
Step 2 Now, bring the needle back through C, a
point very close to A. Continue this action over the
two stitch lines.
Step 3 Once finished, the area is filled as shown
above. You will be spending as much thread on the
reverse side as you do on the actual side of the
fabric
Stem Stitch
Procedure:
Step 1 Bring out the thread through A and take it in through B. Take the
needle backwards and bring the thread out through C. Make sure the
point C lies over the stitch A-B.
Step 2 You need to note that the point C lies about halfway through A
and B. Also note that C lies on top of the stitch A-B. So, all the
subsequent stitch points will lie on top of their previous stitch.
Step 3 Take the needle in through D. Try to mark D in such a way that
the point B will lie halfway through C-D. Bring the needle out through B.
Step 4 So, the pattern of two stitches of the stem stitch will be as shown
above.
Step 5 Continue this pattern of stitching with the needle coming out
through the top of the previous stitch always.
