Slow Stitching can be complicated but it doesn’t have to be! I’m going to show 5 different essential techniques for creating beautiful texture and colour on fabric including various ways to use Seed Stitch and French Knots. I’m also going to draw on previous projects to give you ideas about what to make with your stitched creation. Join me and stitch along!
Thread & Needle Notes:
-In this project I’m using TWO strands of the 6 strand Embroidery Floss throughout.
-I’m using Embroidery Needles to create most stitches.
-To create French Knots I use a Milliners Needle.

Stitching this way is so relaxing because you don’t have to think about following a complex pattern or worry about your stitches being perfect. It’s all about free flowing relaxing creativity. Stitch Along with Me! #slowstitching
