Embroidery Stitch Video Tutorial: Stem Stitch
The Video Library of Stitches continues to expand with the stem stitch. If you want to learn how to do this basic embroidery stitch, check out the video clip below.
The stem stitch is a versatile embroidery stitch. It can be used to outline or to fill an area. When you fill an area, you work rows of stem stitches right next to each other. You can vary the length of your stitches for a slightly different look. If you want to read about the stem stitch in addition to watching the video tutorial, please check out the Basic Embroidery Stitch Index, where you will find stem stitch under the Line Stitches.
Here's the video:

Mary,
Is there any thing I need to do in order for the sound to work. When I click on video there is no sound.
Please let me know what I need to do so I can get sound.
Also I wanted you to know how wonderful this site is. I'm just learning how to embroider and this site makes it easy.
Thank You so much.
Here are some suggestions for sound:
As long as the volume's turned up on your computer (check your speakers, check your audio settings), it should work. Try the little volume slider on the front of the video, too. There are a couple videos in the library that don't have any audio to them, as they are self-explanatory without it. This particular one (stem stitch) does have audio, though - so it should work! Let me know!

This tutorial is great - very clear to see and to understand. I do have one question about stem stitch, however, that I would like to see on video (or from a person sitting beside me): when using the stem stitch to outline, I am puzzled by going around curves. Must you always work in the same direction around, say, a set of leaves or stems? There seems to be a definite "slant" to the pattern and it is obvious if the "slants" of the stem stitch are going up one side and down the other.
Or is that the way it's supposed to look?
Perhaps this comment needs to be on video!
Thank you very much for this website and for the very welcome Video Library of Stitches! Any explanation you can offer is most appreciated.
Well, maybe this will help: when you're working from left to right with stem stitch, the working thread should be below the needle. When you're working from right to left, the working thread should be above the needle.
If you go here
you'll see the beginning of a sampler. The yellow or gold scrolly things on it are worked in stem stitch. The "slant" of the stitch merely follows the curves. I don't change the position of the working thread in relation to the needle as I work around the curves.
Hope that's helpful!
I coudnt see any videos,help me.
Hi,
The best way to work through a video-playing problem on your computer (at least with my videos) is to check the Google Video Help Center. For example, you have to have Flash installed on your computer.
Before going to any lengthy trouble, you might want to check it again - and hit play twice.
Hope that helps!
Love this site. As a beginner stitcher I've found the video tutorials so amazingly helpful. Thanks sooooo much!
