Embroidery - French Knot with a Stem


This is a handy little stitch with lots of different names. One of the names is Pistil Stitch - and it is perfect for stitching little pistils inside detailed flowers. It's also good for teeny little flowers and grasses - and also antennae on bugs and aliens. Such a versatile stitch! And if you can do a French knot - you can do French knot with a stem. It's almost exactly the same thing!

Happy stitching!

Best,
Wendi

  1. This is terrific! Thanks...I've seen these and didn't realize it was all one stitch. I've learned so much from your videos. Thanks for being so generous with your time and knowledge. Peace....

  2. I love it! I've made those before and didn't know the name or where I learned it. Half the time I think I'm making stitches up ;)

    By the way - love your hair-do in this video! You and curls are super cute.

  3. Thanks ladies! And thanks, Becky, for the comment about my hair. I finally (FINALLY!) got it cut and those curls appeared out of nowhere. Weird! But I like it. :-)
