Raised Lazy daisy flower tutorial

 Hi all

Hope all are doing well and good.  One of the easiest stitch to embroider a flower is lazy daisy stitch.  It is a flat stitch.  Today We are going to see the tutorial for raising the lazy daisy flower.  Very easy to do.

To get a more raised look, you can use yarn instead of embroidery thread for the base i.e) stem stitch rounds.  In place of stem stitch you can also use split stitches.  This flower looks more elegant when worked as buttas all over the saree pallu.  Do give a try.  

See you with another design.  Till then have a happy time with your needle and thread.
