Love Embroidery Tutorial

This Love embroidery pattern might just be my favorite one yet! I’m obsessed with how the elements are in the shape of a heart, and it uses all my favorite stitches.

Supplies:

Grab a kit or gather the following supplies:

  • embroidery floss
  • needle
  • needle threader (optional)
  • 6″ embroidery hoop
  • fabric or muslin
  • scissors
  • pencil
  • love embroidery pattern

Prep and plan.

We’ll start by tracing the pattern. Draw as lightly as possible and try not to be too “sketchy” with your lines, that will make it easier to cover your pencil marks later. 

Decide which colors you want to use for each stitch. You can lay your skeins on top of your pattern to help visualize the endless options.

Time to stitch!

These short videos will teach each of the 6 stitches for the harvest embroidery pattern. Follow along, or go rogue and substitute your favorite stitches instead.
