Stitch of the Week
There are hundreds of embroidery stitches, so it can feel a little daunting to know what to use where. So, I've picked 50 stitches - some I use all the time and love, some I rarely use, some I've never tried, and some I don't even know what they are 🪡😅
Each week, I'll pick a stitch out of the jar, stitch it and rate it:
✨️ Usefullness - 5 stars is 'use it everywhere, all the time, in every project!'
✨️ Prettiness - 5 stars is 'ooo, so fancy!'
✨️ Faff Factor - 5 stars is 'super fiddly, maybe not worth the effort' 🪡
This will turn into a fun little bank of stitches that you can use on my embroidery panels or your own stitching projects 🪡😁

I’ve poured a lot of time and stitches into these videos, so if you’re finding them helpful and fancy leaving a little Ko-fi tip, that would be amazing — but absolutely no pressure 💛
