Embroidering letters
Good afternoon stitching world ♪♫♬♪
Today, I thought I would show you something about embroidering letters to form words, names and sentences.
When you need a personalised gift for a special occasion or to make a decorative piece for your home: words, names and sentences can be very useful indeed.
This lesson is from my Embroidered Alphabets and Monograms and Words book: page 47.

1. Form the letters in back stitch:
Hint: Make the stitches long enough to wrap them with ribbon. For example:
Whip the back stitches with silk ribbon to form lovely raised letters.
an even tension for good results.
When you reach the end of the line, take your needle to the back and come up again alongside the next stitch…
Take the needle to the back of your work
Come up alongside the next stitch
and complete the letter.

I used whipped back-stitch and silk ribbon to fill in the name of a teddy bear for Nate and a baby blanket for Noah….

The C of Carla and the L of Love below were not filled. Simply outline the printed letters with a matching thread Use silk ribbon to embellish the letters with roses and other flowers.
The word Love
Memory or Trinket Box
The letters ove of the word Love (above) were made in whipped chain-stitch and I used 4mm silk ribbon… or you could use whipped back-stitch as shown above.
Hint: It is not always necessary to fill in the letters of the word or initial.
For a quick project, like this embroidered towel box, the initial C was embellished with ribbon roses and the remaining letters of the word were left as they were, printed on the fabric.

Hope you enjoyed this lesson ♥
I will show more about making small and large letters when I return from Australia ….
Have a lovely weekend – remember to take some time off for yourself too!
