and make a vertical stitch to keep the floss in place. The fly stitch can be embroidered using isolated stitches.

Images

      It is embroidered like the previous one, but these stitches overlap at the top.

Images

      Embroider the first row of sufficiently spaced, small stitches in order to embroider a second row of longer stitches above.

      Embroider a first row of small fly stitches spaced at regular intervals, then embroider a second row of similar stitches above these.

Images

      Embroider a first row of close, long, oblique stitches from left to right, then a second, from right to left, while stitching in the same hole.

Images

      First embroider a central, long stitch. To make the shape of a fan, embroider the two outer points and then the two intermediary points.

Images

      Starting from the same central points, embroider the eight branches of the star using turning stitches. The horizontal and vertical stitches are the same-length, oblique stitches midway between the previous ones.

Images

      Long stitches of the same length, embroidered two by two, give the shape of a four-petal flower.

Images

      To cover the entire surface, stitch very close, vertical long stitches, in a left-to-right direction, from one edge of the pattern to the other.

Images

      To save floss, embroider a long stitch from left to right. Take out the needle just below, making a small, vertical stitch. Embroider the long stitch continuing from right to left, and take the needle out just below.

Images

      The stitches are closer on the inner part of the ring than on the outer part.

Images

      The long, vertical stitches, embroidered from one edge of the pattern to the other, will reduce the length along the diagonal angle. Horizontal long stitches, stitched in the same holes, will progressively increase the length.

Images

      This is done in two steps. First embroider two rows (or more, depending on the width) with staggered running stitches. Then, in a left-to-right direction, embroider above them using very close vertical long stitches.

Images

      This is also accomplished in two steps. First embroider a single row of lockstitches, then above that stitch a row of small, tight, vertical long stitches.

Images

      Embroider four big, long stitches in the shape of a star in the center of the pattern. Shape the outer circle using running stitches then cover the entire surface in tight long stitches or by stitching along the outline.

      Embroider the pattern in satin stitch. With a different color floss, embroider the overlocking stitches above as closely as possible.

Images

      Embroider a first row of long stitches following the contours of the pattern. In the subsequent rows, push the needle through the floss of the upper rows.

Images

      Embroider a first long, vertical stitch at the top. Stitch from one edge to the other, then cover the entire pattern in slanted long stitches that cross in the middle.

Images

      Cover the surface of the pattern in rows of alternating long and short stitches, overlapping one row over the other. Embroider from left to right then from right to left.

Images

      All the stitches have the same length, and one row overlaps the other.

Images

      Starting from a central point, embroider an odd number of long stitches of the same length. Bring the needle out through the center then alternately enter above and below the long stitches to fill them completely. Insert the needle upside down to stop the floss.

Images

      Embroider the long horizontal and vertical stitches, which must be the same length, in the shape of the grid pattern.

Images

      This is worked in two steps. First, embroider two rows of regularly spaced, alternating running stitches, the visible part longer than the hidden part. Then connect the rows with long stitches from one to the other.

Images

      Embroider the blocks alternating the horizontal and vertical stitches.
