Like yesterday’s tutorial, this is easy-peasy for those folks who sew all the time, but this week I’m introducing the basics for hand-stitched embroidery. Tying knots is essential stuff! Usually, though, when I’m doing embroidery, I don’t dip the needle into the fabric like it shows in the video; instead, I dip the needle into a stitch that’s on the underside of the design… then I make my knot. It works the same way though, generally.

Again, these embroidery tutorials are in preparation for the up-coming pocket-purse tutorial. I’ll be posting that tutorial next week, but the patterns for the Swedish pocket-purse are already available on my free doll clothes patterns page.

If you like my patterns and videos, please show your appreciation by liking, pinning, tweeting, and/or somehow sharing this video with others. All of my patterns are free to print on this page, and if you’re wondering why I offer so many great patterns and tutorials for free, please visit this page.
