Stitch sampler

I began teaching my friend Lauren how to embroider. We began, as I always think is best, with a stitch sampler:



Stitch Names (Top to bottom):
Coral Stitch
Satin Stitch
Split Stitch
Stem Stitch
French Knot
Blanket Stitch
Lazy Daisies
Chain Stitch
Back Stitch
Feather Stitch

Hopefully I can post also how to stitch these in the future.

The most complex stitch is probably the stem stitch or the feather stitch. The easiest would probably be the french knots, and the longest is definitely the satin stitch. All are enjoyable and useful to know how to embroider.

(Fun Fact: The blanket stitch serves two purposes: as the hem of a pillow or cushion, and as a cute border for embroidery!)
