The Chain Stitch Family

The Braided Chain Stitch

This stitch uses the chain stitch as a foundation. It's a good chunky stitch and would be great for borders and outlines.

The Cable Chain Stitch

This is quite tricky to get the hang of. You can slow the video down in the settings (look for the little cog at the bottom)

The Reverse Chain Stitch

This starts with a lazy daisy stitch and then it's just a different way of doing the chain stitch! So easy, give it a go! It's perfect for text, curvy lines and especially good if you want to make something look like a knitted garment like a hat or sweater!

The Interlaced Chain Stitch

This is a nice easy breakdown of the Interlaced Chain Stitch for hand embroidery

The Twisted Chain Stitch

This is the Twisted Chain Stitch and I have done it before but his is a new video, with better video and (I hope) clearer instructions. I also show you a way at the end to make this stitch even prettier.

Feathered Chain Stitch

This very simple stitch is great for adding some greenery to your embroidery, even if you are at the beginning of your embroidery journey

The Russian Chain Stitch - individual stitches

Think of this stitch as a clover shape built with three lazy daisy stitches! It's easy when you get the hang of it!

The Russian Chain Stitch - linked stitches

This is the Russian Chain stitch, with all stitches link into a chain. If you are unsure how to do the individual Russian Chain Stitch, check the previous video <3

The Bull's Head Stitch

This is a detached stitch and it reminds me of seeds blowing in a breeze <3
