Stitch tutorials

Sometimes watching how a stitch is done is easier than reading a diagram. I'll add more tutorials as I make them.

Bottensöm stitch tutorial

This stitch is used in the patterns midsummer bouquet and lilac bedroom. Its a great stitch for filling a larger area and once you understand how the stitch works, feel free to create your own variation.

Peaceful bedroom woven stitch

This is a variation of the woven stitch used in the pattern peaceful bedroom. It shows how to weave a pattern instead of the plain woven stitch. Using a blunt needle for the weaving makes it easier not to snag the needle in the thread. The first few rows of weaving are the hardest, after that, as the pattern starts to emerge, you can orient your stitches to the existing pattern.

The further apart you place your initial stitches, the easier it will be to weave the second colour.
