Make a small stitch (1-2)
and bring your needle up through the center of the previous stitch (3)
as you make your next one. You will need to work with a <a href="/mega_palette.html">divisible floss</a> (at least four strands) so you can split them. Continue along pattern line. That’s it!
Looks impressive, but is super simple! (This is also the first stitch I
learned, and the one I use the most).

Work this almost like
the stitch we just learned (split stitch, above). The difference?
Instead of splitting the previous stitch, come up beside it. Repeat
with your following stitches, working at a slight diagonal across your line, and keeping to the same
side of your stitches (you can choose which side that will be). This
stitch is great for curvy lines like vines and plant stems. <br />
(Maybe that’s why it’s called a stem stitch? Ya think?)

Give this simple stitch a try! Also called a “seed stitch”, it’s a
cinch to work. Make a single, straight stitch (1-2). Continue along
your pattern line, but come up a space ahead (3) and bring your needle
back down into the same hole at the end of the last stitch you made.
Get it? You are bringing your stitch back to the end of the last one
you just made. Now you know what to do to make a neat, clean line, and
create a crisp corner -use this stitch whenever your pattern makes a
quick turn, even if you’re working in another stitch. Helpful.

Come up at 1 and reinsert the tip of your needle just next to (2), or
in the same opening at 1. Not so fast! Before you pull the stitch all
the way through, leave an extra loop of floss on the topside of your
fabric. Now, bring your needle back up through the fabric again (in the
direction of your pattern line), and pass the tip of the needle inside
the loop of floss you made. Continue and repeat, always pulling down
the little loop of the previous stitch.

Make a small stitch (1-2)
and bring your needle up through the center of the previous stitch (3)
as you make your next one. You will need to work with a <a href="/mega_palette.html">divisible floss</a> (at least four strands) so you can split them. Continue along pattern line. That’s it!
Looks impressive, but is super simple! (This is also the first stitch I
learned, and the one I use the most).

Work this almost like
the stitch we just learned (split stitch, above). The difference?
Instead of splitting the previous stitch, come up beside it. Repeat
with your following stitches, working at a slight diagonal across your line, and keeping to the same
side of your stitches (you can choose which side that will be). This
stitch is great for curvy lines like vines and plant stems. <br />
(Maybe that’s why it’s called a stem stitch? Ya think?)

Give this simple stitch a try! Also called a “seed stitch”, it’s a
cinch to work. Make a single, straight stitch (1-2). Continue along
your pattern line, but come up a space ahead (3) and bring your needle
back down into the same hole at the end of the last stitch you made.
Get it? You are bringing your stitch back to the end of the last one
you just made. Now you know what to do to make a neat, clean line, and
create a crisp corner -use this stitch whenever your pattern makes a
quick turn, even if you’re working in another stitch. Helpful.

Come up at 1 and reinsert the tip of your needle just next to (2), or
in the same opening at 1. Not so fast! Before you pull the stitch all
the way through, leave an extra loop of floss on the topside of your
fabric. Now, bring your needle back up through the fabric again (in the
direction of your pattern line), and pass the tip of the needle inside
the loop of floss you made. Continue and repeat, always pulling down
the little loop of the previous stitch.

(This version is a little different from the traditional way of working a chain stitch, but that's okay!)
