2. Stitches Used in This Design

a) Flower Petals – Satin Stitch

  • Fill each petal smoothly with satin stitch, ensuring threads lie flat and close together.
  • Start from the base of the pedal and work towards the edge.

b) Flower Center – Lattice Stitch

  • First, make crisscross straight stitches to form a grid.
  • Then, couch (secure) each intersection with a tiny straight stitch using a contrasting color.

c) Leaf Body – Long and Short Stitch

  • Use dark green for the base and lighter green for blending towards the tip.
  • Alternate long and short stitches to create a natural texture.

d) Leaf Veins – Stem Stitch

  • Use a darker green or brown to outline the central vein.

e) Stem & Swirls – Stem Stitch

  • Work along the drawn lines, keeping stitches slanted and consistent in size.

f) Small Leaf Branches – Detached Chain Stitch (Lazy Daisy)

  • Make small looped stitches for tiny leaflets along the branch.

4. Tips for Beginners

  • Always start and end your thread neatly at the back.
  • Practice each stitch on scrap fabric before working on the main piece.
  • Take breaks to rest your hands and eyes.
