What are Some Basic Embroidery Stitches?
The basic embroidery stitches include cross stitch, back stitch, split stitch, chain stitch and stem stitch. Most sewing projects involve at least two of these stitches to complete. To learn these basic embroidery stitches, a needle, thread and fabric are required. For beginners, it is best to embroider on material designed for hand sewing, because it has squares in the weave of the fabric and small holes at each corner.
