Embroidery: Lesson 3
August 29th, 2007 by CandaceI’m so glad everyone is still enjoying the lessons and following along. I am getting some beautiful photo’s of completed Lesson 2 assignments, and those are included at the end of the post. Leanne emailed me and asked if I could show how I knot my thread and secure it on the needle. I just do a basic knot twice, and then snip off any extra
After threading my needle, I leave about two inches hanging and folded-over, and it stays secure in my hands as I stitch
Does that make sense? If not, just let me know and I will clarify. Okay, onto Lesson 3!
Stitch # 7 Scallop Chain
This stitch is a continuation from last week’s lazy daisy and chain stitch and gives a pretty, scalloped finish to a border or as a design filler. You basically create your chain by coming up at point A and down at point B, but again do not pull your thread all the way through. You will leave a small amount to make loop, and will hold it down with the tip of you finger while you bring your need up at the middle of the loop at point C. You’ll then bring it down just on the opposite side of the thread at point D (all of this just like the lazy daisy).
You will then bring your needle up at point E just beside point B and do the exact same thing as you did with the first chain and continue until you achieve the length you need.
Stitch #8 Satin Stitch
This stitch is great when you want to fill an area and give it color and depth and just as you imagined it would be, it’s easy! You are doing one stitch over and over and in the same direction. You will bring your needle up at A and down B (in these pictures working left to right).
You’ll continue doing this, bringing up at C (directly below A) and down at D (directly below B), working down and left to right, until the entire the area is filled.
Lesson 3 Homework:
Continue practicing all of the stitches used in the school so far, incorporating these two new ones as well in this weeks pattern. I would love to see some finished products so if you feel so inclined, email them to me at candace@craftydaisies.com. Below are some finished homework assignments from last week and they look so great – thanks for sharing them ladies!

If you sent me a finished homework assignment and I didn’t upload it, try sending it again – some of them got dumped into my spam and I’m pretty sure I got them all, but I don’t want to leave anyone out!

HELLOmynameisHeather has a knot tutorial that looks neat but I’ve never sat down to try it.
http://heatherbailey.typepad.com/photos/my_favorite_knot/index.html
I, obviously, have trouble with knots as I’ve never been able to master the french knot. Very frustrating. And I couldn’t finsih my homework without it – after all, who wants to see a flower without a center full of french knots?
I’m having my grandmother show me tonight – hopefully I’ll finally get it.
Loving the tutorial! Thanks so much!

Love love love the scallop stitch! Why haven’t I ever used that one? Thanks so much. (also: I use Heather Bailey’s knotting technique all the time. It’s kind of like a french knot in your fingers… if that makes sense. So fast!)

Another way to start without tying a knot– Simply start with the basic running st (very small one) while holding the thread end with your finger under the cloth. Bring the needle up again from the start of the first st again. Sounds complicated but is very simple and leaves a very smooth back.
Candace, maybe you can try it and then include it in your tutorials. It gives a very professional finish.
