You’re welcome!! Glad it was helpful and just in time for your project :)
Thank you for demonstating these! I am an embroidery newbie but compared tot the first options the stem stitch mimics the flow/stroke of a pen best. Worth the extra effort it seems if you use a handwriting font.

You’re welcome! Yes, I think the stem stitch is a beautiful choice for handwriting!
Thanks for this tutorial I’m embroidering some table napkins so think I might use the split stitch. 👍👍
Straight forward and easy to follow! Thanks x
Thank you for sharing how many strands you used and why! Great video!
I want to make some towels for my Pastor. This helped me a lot - Thank you.!
Thank you for showing these
Thank you, no wonder my stem stitch letters look jagged. I prefer chain stitch but am going to try back stitch, it looks easy!
Thank you, I'm new to embroidery and this helps me a lot 😀😀

With a stem stitch, I find how it's going to look on a curve depends on whether the cotton is looping on the inside or outside of the curve. Outside tends to hold the shape better. Just from my personal experience with this

Helpful video thanks
Hello. I choose the embroidery stitch according to the size of the letters.
Beautiful 💕💕🌹🌹
Nice 💖
When you start a stitch such as the chain stitch do you tie a knot in the beginning?
Love this video. Can I ask what marking pen you used to write the lettering before you began to embroider ?

I use it for shirts that are made of thin or stretchy fabric! If you’re stitching on linen or denim, something a bit sturdier, you normally don’t need it.
hi there! what kind of marker are you using here? does it wash away? thanks in advance :)

Did you write those letters yourself or use a font and trace them? If so, what font do you use? Thanks!

I hand drew them! But Canva is a great program to use for fonts if you're looking for some to use. :)
