    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.

    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

    When you start a stitch such as the chain stitch do you tie a knot in the beginning?

    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.

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