Each stitch is built in a certain way that resembles other stitches from their family - yet they are all unique. Some look very similar to each other, some not so much. Just like in a real family! So I see this embroidery stitch family guide as more of a family photo album. The stitch names are written in the same way they are placed on the pictures to make it easier for you to find them.

  • Week 7 - Owling Around
    Week 7 - Owling Around Howdy, and welcome to WEEK 7 of our Weave & Stitch Along! This week, we will be learning the Padded Satin Stitch, a stitch to cover areas, and the Couching Stitch, a stitch to “tie things down”. When I first asked people on Facebook if there is interest in doing a Weave & Stitch Along, fellow weaver Amber Vigil posted a picture of one of her creations, a little owl, embroidered on a Zoom loom. I just couldn’t get that cutie out of my mind, so I asked Amber if we can use that owl in our WSAL. She said yes! Thank you, Amber, for letting us use your design to learn the Satin and the Couching stitches, and thank you for some really cool tips and tricks on top of that! For instructions, read on and/or watch the video for Week 7 on YouTube. Goals - Learn the Padded Satin Stitch. - Learn the Couching Stitch. - Use a template to copy a pattern. General Materials - A pin loom (either the original TURTLE Loom™ or a 4” square pin loom with 31 x 31 threads, like the Schacht Zoom loom), readily woven. Consider weaving with a different color this week! Amber also suggests that you can optionally weave a pattern like o1, u3 to add structure to the owl’s belly. - A tapestry needle, size 16, or any other needle of your liking (metal or plastic). - Scissors - A ruler or measuring tape to measure the thread/yarn. - 1 - Materials Needed for This Week Note: You don’t have to use the same yarns/threads that are used in the demonstration.

    DragonPPLD Young Plush Adult Services Tutorial Tutorial: Dragon Plush Watch the video tutorial here: https://youtu.be/0Kbv2Vos3os SUPPLIES Fabric or felt Thread Needle Scissors Paper Pen/pencil Dragon template (see page 6) Stuffing (polyfill, more fabric, plastic bags, paper—whatever you have on hand!) Optional: straight pins, needle threader, chalk Hand Sewn Dragon Instructions .Part 1: Trace and Cut Out Your Dragon Pattern (10 min) 1. Either draw your own dragon pattern or trace the one provided in Appendix A on page 7! Either way, draw the design on a blank sheet of paper, then cut out each piece (wing, body, spikes)! 2. Trace the paper dragon patterns two times onto the fabric with chalk, pen, pencil, etc. 3. Cut out the pieces. The body will be the front and back of the dragon, while the wings and spikes will be sewn on later. Part 2: Needle and Embroidery Preparation (5 min) 1. If you’re using embroidery thread, separate it into 2-3 strands and set the rest aside. If you’re using regular thread, skip to the next step. 2. Cut a piece of thread that is about the length of your arm. 3. Thread a needle by poking the thread through the “eye,” which is the hole at the top of the needle (see video for step-by-step process). Pull it through, but leave a tail of thread about 3-4 inches in length dangling off the end. We’re doing this so that the thread doesn’t slip out of the needle while we sew! 4.
