How to sew / embroider chain stitch

In this DROPS video we show how to sew / embroider a chain stitch. Insert the needle from the wrong side and through to the right side where you would like the chain stitch to begin. Insert the needle down through the hole the strand came up through, then to the right side again approx. 2 cm = 3/4" further on – allow the strand to lie under the point of the needle. Now thread the needle through the piece and form a loop with the strand which comes up in the middle of the loop. Insert the needle into the piece approx. 0.5 stitches in front of the loop and pull it through the piece. The chain stitch is finished, for more stitches repeat. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You must read a pattern using this technique to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find a pattern by clicking on one of the pictures below.

I have a problem with it being visible on the right side ...? 25.01.2017 - 22:14 If you know how to sew clothing then you know how to embroider, you take your yarn, thread, make a knot at the end and put your needle under your project so that it comes from the underside, poke the needle so that it comes out and is facing you, then you can make the stitch in the pattern, hope this helps.

Snu arbeidet 1/5 omgang og sy ned mot deg selv. Du får mer kontroll over sting lengden. Trekk hele tråden igjennom i en bevegelse og ned mot deg selv, stingene blir mer jevne i størrelse og det sparer tid.
