How to Embroider Letters Using the Stem Stitch

[@daisyhill8756]

I would be very much interested in a tutorial for the big letters! This exactly what I am looking for right now.

[@playhooky]

I believe that stitch is called Satin stitch so you could search for a tutorial video on that, but you've most likely discovered that on your own by now! Best regards.

[@suebarker4159]

Thank you for the close up view of your work as you were demonstrating, your tutorial was very helpful

[@dreamingdragonfly1539]

Thank you for your concise instructions it made your video enjoyable to watch and instilled confidence in my ability to give embroidery a go.

[@francescanicolecruz4122]

Wanted to learn this so I can put my initials on the sweater I bought for my boyfriends birthday. Love how clear and simple your explanation was, what should I buy to get these results? ☺️

[@CutesyCrafts]

You will need to use some kind of stabilizer on the back of the fabric, especially if it is stretchy. I haven't experimented a lot with clothes yet, so I don't have a brand to recommend.

[@ameliajames3289]

Your videos are the best I’ve seen for learning embroidery! Thankyou SO much. You are amazing

[@XxXLesaXxX]

Just started embroidery as a hobby to get through this lock down. I love your videos and Instagram, I wouldn't have a clue what I'm doing otherwise! PS I was the 1000th like 😊👍

[@BrooklyFire]

Your work is so beutiful! I have not seen anything equal! And count that I watch pinterest and deviniart

[@CutesyCrafts]

Oh, thank you!!!

[@susananderson4428]

I’m doing two good size cross stitch marriage date and name things. My very first time cross stitching and many decades since I tried embroidery a little when I was very young. I’m going to use the stem stitch fir their names and date to make it look a little better so I’m combining both crafts lol

.....One more QUESTION: on the downward stroke of the letter L , the direction of the middle thread is changed again, back to the left.... However she repeats saying, pull stitch to the same side. She pulls to the left side when the stroke of the letter is going down and to the right when going up. Correct? Incorrect? I’m confused by the verbiage.

[@KeyserTheRedBeard]

wonderful content Cutesy Crafts. I killed that thumbs up on your video. Continue to keep up the good work.

[@sharonscott1622]

[@shron2769]

[@missammyy]

I found this really helpful. Thank you. ♡

[@vilacam5762]

Hello! Thanks for your video! it was very helpful! Could you ask what fabric you use?

[@CutesyCrafts]

This is a linen cotton blend (it's my favorite). I have a blog post about it here: cutesycrafts.com/2018/07/best-embroidery-fabric.html

[@MonaTurnbull]

Thank you very much for this!

[@AB-od7fk]

نعووومة ورقة وجمال ماشاء الله تبارك الله

[@amyh.2020]

Question: Did I notice at the top of the letter L, the directions the middle stitch was pulled to the RIGHT? Can’t work it out. Thanks for any input!!

[@milestrellasdepapel7616]

amazing work! i love the type you use for "and life". Is that your handwriting or a commercial font? Thanks in advance!

[@CutesyCrafts]

I think I based it off "Dawning of a New Day" but added my own flourishes.

[@Hannah-bq9vu]

Looks beautiful 😊

[@sinnedmal22]

Hello!! Just wanna ask, how many strands do you use? And what kinda thread?:)

[@CutesyCrafts]

This is DMC embroidery floss. I believe I was working with 2 or 3 strands on these letters.

[@clarelin2574]

I like your videos, so simple to understand how to embroidery for beginner, can you teach how to make the white daisy in this video please… they look so wonderful and cute

[@CutesyCrafts]

That's a lazy daisy stitch. Here's a tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKG8pXSBpbefiq8

[@ingridpitti7864]

This is amazing 😀👌

[@lalelu1342]

This was super helpful! Thank you so much.

[@maximoff999_]

could you tell me the font that you used for the letters?

[@juliazevenbergen5059]

Hi, I loved this tutorial. I learned a lot ☺️ I have a question, where do you buy the pen for writing? ☺️

[@CutesyCrafts]

I link to it in this post: cutesycrafts.com/2018/08/embroidery-transfer-how-to-transfer-an-embroidery-pattern.html

[@marthahumphrey3849]

Where are fonts found for all embroidery?

[@randalllaue4042]

How do you mount in framing? Don’t want hoop...

[@amyh.2020]

The video seems to cut out right at the exact time when I questions the direction of the pull direction. Is there someone who can help with an explanation/example of direction the thread is pulled? If I try to keep it on the same direction of pull, my top loops on letters collapses, so to speak, and become wide. If I change the direction of pull, at the top of the letter the middle stitch holds the stitch in place making the curve..... I’m 🤷‍♂️ confused.

❤❤❤

[@diieyajah6699]

Awesome, thanks for the video!!

[@fabilenquiste5736]

Amazing work. Thank you so much.

[@CutesyCrafts]

Thank you!

[@Purplefrog03]

What of you make a circle what side soy you bring up the needle on?

[@CutesyCrafts]

The outside.

[@urhappypuppy9378]

love itthank you! helped a lot.

[@MaryCalderon92]

Can we use this method to stitch names on blankets or swaddles?

[@CutesyCrafts]

Yes, I would probably iron an interfacing on the back of your stitches when you are done. I'm still experimenting to find one that I like.

[@aliceanguiano1036]

How would you do thicker fonts like the "home" one?

[@kudykobert645]

probably satin

[@mintytran7033]

The satin stitch is just the running stitch right?

[@CutesyCrafts]

That is the satin stitch

[@Sheydomanto]

Excelente!!! Me encanto

[@phyllisbrandon6636]

Hello, how did you transfer the words onto your fabric?

[@CutesyCrafts]

For this, I used a pen that disappears with heat and a light table. You can read about embroidery transfer methods on my post here: cutesycrafts.com/2018/08/embroidery-transfer-how-to-transfer-an-embroidery-pattern.html

[@buywithwarda]

can u plz.tell about the stuff

[@eszemaszeszed]

the word "Home" is satin stitch or? :(

[@CutesyCrafts]

Yes, that one is a satin stitch. A pain to do in that font style, but I eventually figured it out.

[@eszemaszeszed]

@@CutesyCrafts yeah, I have a similar font, more old English style. I don't think I'm ready for it 😂 thanks for your reply ✨
