We’re going back to basics with the “Merry & Bright” hand embroidery. Unlike our sampler patterns, this one sticks with just one stitch so you can get lost in the rhythm of the season.
Supplies:
Grab a kit or gather the following supplies:
- embroidery floss
- needle
- needle threader (optional)
- 6″ embroidery hoop
- fabric or muslin
- scissors
- pencil
Time to stitch!
You can choose if you want to use back stitch, stem stitch, or a combination of both for your lettering. I’m a big fan of stem stitch because it goes around curves like a dream. Watch these short tutorials to learn each stitch, or dive into the full video from our Word of the Year tutorial.
