If you’re new to embroidery, the best place to begin is with five simple, versatile stitches: Running Stitch, Back Stitch, Straight Stitch, Chain Stitch, and French Knot. With just these sewing stitches, you can outline shapes, add texture, fill areas with colour, and create beautiful decorative details. They’re the perfect starting point for crafters, felt‑makers, and beginner sewers who want to explore embroidery techniques but aren’t sure where to begin.

By learning these basics, you’ll build the confidence to try more advanced decorative stitches whenever you’re ready. For now, enjoy the process by sewing one stitch at a time.

I’m currently developing printable guides and short tutorial videos to help you get started. I’ll be releasing them one by one over the next few weeks, so keep an eye out if you’d like step‑by‑step support as you learn.
