Lazy Daisy Popcorn Stitch tutorial

Hi all

Hope all are doing well and good.  Today I have come up with the embroidery stitch tutorial for lazy daisy popcorn stitch.  It is an easy stitch.  It can be used as petals for flowers and buds.  

Let's move on to the tutorial.  

I have used 6 strands of thread for this tutorial.

1)  Do a straight stitch first.

2)  Bring the needle up below the straight stitch

3)  Insert a pin from top as shown to have equal length loops.

4)  Loop the thread over the needle, pass the needle down the straight stitch without picking up the fabric.  The needle should be above the thread.  

5)  Pull through the needle and thread.  One loop is formed.  

6)  Make 5 such loops right side to the previous one.

7)  This is how it looks after making the 5 loops.

8)  Now remove the pin.  You can see 5 loops.

9)  Pass the needle through the loops from right to left.

10)  The working thread should lie behind the needle.

11)  Holding the loops with the left hand wrap the thread once around the needle from left to right.

12)  Pull through the thread through the wrap made and tighten the knot.

13)  Anchor the thread at the point where the pin is place first.

A lazy daisy popcorn stitch is made.  

If working for a petal 5 loops will look good. For buds 3 loops is enough.  I have worked a simple design using this popcorn stitch.  You can view it here and pattern is also available.  

Also a video tutorial is available in my youtube channel.  Kindly watch it and give your support.  

Hope this tutorial is helpful.  Do try it out and give your feedbacks in the comments section.

Center of the design is done using straight stitches that represent chakra in the flag.  It has 24 spokes and I have included 24 straight stitches that emerges from the centre.  Then comes 3 round of fly stitches with green, white and orange/saffron colour.  Then the fly are again layered to get a thick and bold look.  The lettering is done using back stitches.
