Skill Guide: Fancy Embroidery

Fancy Stitches for Custom Finishes

If you found our embroidery basics skill guide intriguing, you’re in for a treat with part 2.

In this guide, we’ve gathered four fancy stitches you should try: lazy daisy, French knots, stem/leaf stitch, and wagon wheel. Alone, they are fun, but start to combine stitches, and you are guaranteed to add something special to your projects.

While some weavers like to add embroidery after the project is off the loom, most find it easiest to do their stitching directly on the loom with the finished piece still under tension—no hoop required!
