Turkey Stitch (Flower) - I love how the Turkey stitch can make so many fun flowers, grass, fur, tons of stuff. Personally, I love it as a flower 😊😍 have you ever used a Turkey stitch anywhere??? #learnembroidery #embroiderytutorial #embroiderytips #embroiderytok … you can learn it with my stitch sampler kits!! ❤️
Just a big box of Stitch Sampler kits.. 🪡
I love my job but a whole day of making kits made my brain feel a little 🤪🤪
Did you see my most recent deal.. if you grab any embroidery kit, you can add a stitch sampler (any kit or just the fabric) for $10 off! That means for as low as $5, you can add a stitch sampler! 🙌🏽
It’s not a bad time to start a new hobby, learn some new stitches or gift someone something creative this year 🪡

If you follow my stories you’d see I created this fun Christmas hoop just for fun and I want to share it with you ✨🎄
It’s been an interesting year of balancing running a growing business and keeping my creativity when things like sales, marketing and social media are at the forefront of my brain… 🤷🏽♀️🥴
I have tried a few times this year to “create just to create” and I’ve given up half way.. I just got too distracted with the other stuff… 🤦🏽♀️
Let’s be honest, one of the parts I struggle with the most about “creating just to create” is that I think art needs to be shared so instead of a Black Friday Sale…
You can find the template over on that other app under highlights of free PDF 💕💕

✨ Fake French Knots ✨ … introducing the “Dot Stitch”
When I decided I wanted to kids embroidery kits the goal was to make the kids as successful as possible…
But French Knots are hard for adults so I came up with this trick for making a “Fake French Knot” … I called it the “Dot Stitch” ⚪️
I don’t know if this is an actual stitch elsewhere so if it has another name, let me know but I haven’t seen it 🤷🏽♀️
Kids Embroidery Kits are available on my website now… they make a great Christmas gift! 💕

Ever wondered where to use an embroidery stitch once you’ve learned it.. 🪡
Well first, save this post so you can come back to it 😉
When I designed these Stitch Sampler Kits one of the main components I wanted was a way to actually apply the knowledge you learn so kits include a practice template to use these stitches and techniques in a design after learning them.
The full kit and ultimate kit even include the extra supplies to get started right away! (Link in bio to grab yours)
Now, here are a few ways to use a colonial knot…
1. I use them in lots of florals, the middle of a flower, the berries on a tree, lavender, baby breath, so many options..
2. Filling in a space with texture… think clouds, snowman, grass maybe.. it’s endless depending on the look you are going for
3. Anywhere you need a dot ⚪️… just a small dot anywhere whether it confetti or snowflakes or little accents, they make great little dots..
4. And the most simple answer, basically replacing where you would use any French knot.. French knots can be tricky, so can the colonial knot but I do find the figure 8 twist on a colonial knot does keep its tension a bit better 🤷🏽♀️
If you want to learn and practice all the stitches in my Stitch Sampler…. they are on my site, you can find it in my bio! 💕
With multiple kit options from mini kits to the embroidery supply box, you can find what works best for you to get started with 25 embroidery stitches, all the beginner fundamentals including step by step tutorials on transferring patterns, backing your hoop, threading your needle, finishing a section, where to purchase your own supplies…. It’s ALLLLL in there 💕

Did you know!!?? 35 years of my life and I just learned this 🍅🍓🪡
I can’t be the only one who finds this tomato/strawberry pin cushions super nostalgic…
BUT did you know what the little strawberry does??
It’s filled with emery which (according to google) is a mineral that resembles fine metal shavings
It sharpens your needle as it goes in and out of the strawberry 🤯
So, did you know???
Follow for more tips, tutorials and check out all my beginner embroidery kits… 💕💕
Don’t get me wrong, I still hate a sharp needle 🩸🤣 but I thought this was super cool

✨ Couching Stitch ✨
One of up to 25 stitches you can learn on my two stitch sampler kit!! (There are multiple kit options to fit everyones goals)
Couching stitch is a technique where one thread is laid flat on the fabric and secured by small stitches, often using a contrasting or decorative thread!
