Leaf Embroidery - Day 17 - Feather stitch leaf

 Hi all

Hope all are doing well and good.  Today I am happy to share with you the next stitch to embroider leaves.  It is the simple feather stitch. This stitch can also be used with knot stitches to create borders, necklines etc.  But for leaves it works up quickly to fill the shape of a leaf. The stitch itself beautifully forms the center vein of the leaf .  At the end finish it with a long anchoring stitch.

Leaf Embroidery - Day 16 - Straight stitch leaf

 Hi all

Hope all are doing well and good.  The next stitch that I used to embroider a leaf is the simple straight stitch. Start with a straight stitch from top centre to the bottom centre, and continue with the shape of the leaf in both the sides.  The bottom point should be the same.  It will give a fan like leaf structure.  Very simple and easy to do.
