Basic Embroidery Stitches for Beginners - Part 1

www.etsy.com/listing/79279391...
Here's a simple video showing you four basic (and most common) embroidery stitches. Once you familiarize yourself with basic stitches, you will find that they are the foundation to those more elaborate stitches.
This quick video covers: Back Stitch, Split Stitch, Stem Stitch and Chain Stitch.
Stem stitch - This stitch creates a thin line and can be used to outline embroidered shapes, to form flower and plant stems and more. It's a nice option for anything that needs to curve. In stem stitch each stitch overlaps the previous stitch to one side, forming a twisted line of stitching, with the thread passing below the needle.
Back stitch - The backstitch is great when you need a solid line, like for certain outlines or text. Begin by pulling the needle up through the fabric and do one stitch forward. From underneath, space the needle out the length of your desired stitch, pull up through the fabric, and bring the needle and floss back down through the end of the previous stitch.
Split stitch - Similar to the back stitch, the split stitch creates a solid line. Begin by pulling the needle up through the fabric and do one stitch forward. From underneath, space the needle out the length of your desired stitch, pull up through the fabric, and bring the needle and floss back down through the center of the previous stitch. For text use small spaces so you can easily embroider letters with curves.
Chain stitch - It's great for an outline or the frame around a patterned design. Pull your needle and floss up through the fabric, then insert it going down right beside where you first inserted it. Don't pull the floss all the way through the fabric; allow it to form a loop. Bring the needle up through that loop in order to tether it from being pulled all the way through the fabric and pull. To make the next chain stitch, place the needle either directly in the hole you just stitched, or close to it, and pull through to create another loop. Again, don't pull the floss completely through the fabric. Pull the needle up through the loop to tether it and pull.
