Back Stitch

 Each week I hope to release a stitch for you to try. Expand on the stitch if you wish.

The first stitch is Back Stitch.

Watch the tutorial and see how you go. Here are some images of where I use Back stitch. Can you spot where it is?

The back stitch is used in Blackwork. Here is a needle case I created using blackwork. A FREE tutorial is available on our Free Tutorial Page.



Don't forget you can download my stitch tutorials free on this blog.
On the side panels of this blog, you will find all the links to our YouTube Channel, our Apps and our Etsy store.

Version 2 - Silk Ribbon Embroidery App - now available.

 Hi everyone. Version 2 of the Silk Ribbon Embroidery app is available for download in the Apple App Store.  I'm sorry I can't give you an Android version, I did price it once for someone else to create one, and they quoted me $30,000, ridiculous. So whilst I can do it for FREE by myself and with a little help from my son, you get just Apple.

What's new: There are now video links within the many stitches and useful tips. I've added new Embroidery Stitches and some new useful tips. I will update the downloadable ones here on this website soon.


Here is the link to watch how to navigate the new version: https://youtu.be/pAwf5ZRu4Mc
