Tutorial Tuesdays: Seed Stitch
Another Tutorial Video coming your way! This week’s Tutorial Tuesday covers the Seed Stitch.
It’s like little seeds or confetti sprinkled over your fabric for cute little details of delight! It may remind you of another stitch we’ve already covered and you’d be right! It’s the short stitch but with greater technique! Gradients are great ways to add depth and dimensions to your embroidery work! It basically levels you up.
This week we are working on seed stitch! To begin, use 6 strands of floss and fill in the first square with short stitches in various directions. It should look like confetti or sprinkles evenly through out your square. Try to keep all of your stitches similar in size.
Next we are going to practice a gradient. Keep your stitches tighter together at the top of the square and space them out as you move down the square. Keep the directions of each stitch varied throughout.
Finally we will practice a central gradient. Keep the stitches close together in the center of the square, and as you move outward, the stitches should become farther and farther apart.
Wahoo! See you next week!
