Hand Embroidery: How to do Chain Stitch

Hey there!

Today I’m dropping in with a quick explanation of how to do Chain Stitch in your hand embroidery projects. 


Chain Stitch creates a stunning, raised effect and is perfect for drawing your eye to certain words in a lettering piece.

In the piece shown, I used Split Stitch for the black lettering and Chain Stitch for the word AWESOME.


I love the way Chain Stitch gives the words an almost 3D effect.
