Embroidery - How to Satin Stitch a Beak
I like birds and I do a lot of bird embroidery. Now, you could satin stitch a bird's beak with a regular satin stitch, but I make a little tweak to the basic stitch that I think adds a nice dimension to bird's beaks. It's not any harder and it gives them just the shape I want. Watch the video to see how I do it.
Thanks for the tutorial! Perfect for your new pattern.
I was stitching while Hubby was sleeping the other night. That pop! (Like when you stitch in your video) woke him up! He thought I was breaking something.
Krystina - Glad to be helpful! I love introducing people to a new craft.
Becky - it's funny you mentioned the "pop." One of the things my daughter likes about embroidery is the sound effects - the little pop when the eye of the needle goes through the fabric, and the drawn out sound of the thread sliding through. Enjoy!
