3d V Stitch
Jens Loco
I learned to embroider when I was a kid, when everyone was really into cross stitch (remember the '80s?). Eventually, I migrated to surface embroidery, teaching myself with whatever I could get my hands on...read more

Caterpillar Cross Stitch was launched by award-winning designer Sally Wilson in 2015 after she spent 9 months of pregnancy trying unsuccessfully to find a modern cross stitch kit for her new baby's modern neutral nursery.
The name Caterpillar Cross Stitch was chosen because the process of stitching isn't exactly quick. You need patience that slowly, the end piece will take shape as a beautiful, bright piece of art to keep for generations to come.
We're going big! This is the largest in-person event we have ever hosted - expect undisturbed cross stitching time, crafty small business shopping, a quiz, brag table, charity raffle, smalls exchange, and the chance to design your own cross stitch pattern (with experts on hand to help).
Happy Haunting contains everything needed to create a colourful Halloween-themed cross stitch project. You'll also receive 3 other spellbinding goodies - subscribers will be treated to an exclusive witch needle minder, themed ribbon, and a delicious lollipop.
You can see that the stem stitch makes a rope-like line. How heavy the rope is depends upon the thread you use. Stem stitch can be very delicate, and can be used on the most delicate embroidery pieces. Or it can be bold!
Stem Stitch is also used in Casalguidi Embroidery, worked over thick string to create a highly textured, super-raised stem stitch rope. You can find instructions for this Casalguidi embroidery technique here.
And finally, stem stitch can be used to fill an area, by working rows of stem stitch close together. The shading on the leaf above is achieved by switching out different shades of green as the leaf was filled in.
The best way to work through a video-playing problem on your computer (at least with my videos) is to check the Google Video Help Center. For example, you have to have Flash installed on your computer.
I was sewing some flower stems in backstitch last night but found myself liking the back of my work better than the front. Now I know how to stitch that way on the front! Thanks for helping out a very ignorant beginning embroiderer!
Hi Mary can stem stitch be done by the stab method, as I am working on some very close weave at the moment that has not a lot of give in it.
Making it very hard to work in a frame with the normal was of stitching the stem stitch, any help would be great.
Regards Joyce
Yes, absolutely it can. I use the stab method pretty often, when working in a frame without much give in the fabric. Just leave a bit of a loop as you pull your thread through and use your non-stitching hand to hold the loop out of the way when you re-emerge behind it.
If you're "writing" an L that's shaped like a printed L, the easiest way to do the sharp corner is to end one line and start the other, perpendicular to it, instead of trying to manipulate around the corner.
MC, I had never picked up a needle until after I retired in 2003. I took a quilting class at JoAnn Fabrics and I am soooo hooked on about every kind of needlework I see. I have been wishing for someone to move next door to me so I could watch how most things are done. I am terrible at understanding instructions. I have moved you next door to me. Yeahhhh! I love the Internet, it is like going to college for me. Something I could never afford before. Thanks for you generosity in sharing you time and expertise with so many people; I love love love you!!!
Hi Mary,
Thank you! This video just solved all my problems. ? I have been embroidering for years but have never been able to get the simple stem stitch to work. I love the look of it and always want to use it but it nevers works out for me.
Thank you! Your website is very helpful. I just started learning to embroider about a month ago and had bought a book that was of little help. For example, I tried to do a stem stitch with the book and found the results less than satisfactory, but easily mastered it after watching a video. The same with satin stitching.
Mary, I am a quilter but for a change I had a lady in to my quilting group to show us Redwork. The ladies seam to love it but I was only half seeing what was being done as I needed to know the group and the visitors were ok. When I got home I looked on the web to see of I could find out how to do stem stitch as this is what was being thought. Well when I came across you site I was over whelmed with all your clips. So impressed passed it on, we now have ladies as well as my self wanting to do Emnrodary
Just watched the video and read about the S-twisted threads to be used. What about when using 2 strands of DMC which tend to twist and not give such a nice finish. Can anything be done other than constantly untwisting the two strands?
