Feather Stitch Video Tutorial

The feather stitch is an easy stitch for hand embroidery. It's worked vertically, from top to bottom in a kind of back-and-forth, right-and-left motion.

You can use the feather stitch in hand embroidery for edges and borders, it's used often in crazy quilting as a seam embellishment, and it also makes a good foundation of foliage or stems in flower designs, in Brazilian embroidery, etc.

Here's the video:


You'll find more video tutorials at the Video Library of Stitches Index.

Great videos! I am an embroidery newbie going to be making my first crazy quilt. I've done about a dozen or so other quilts but never a cq. Your videos will help a great deal when I get to that point. Thank you so much for posting them.

Hi :-)

Thankyou so much for the demonstration.

I have Dillmonte's encyclopadia, and I love her designs - and a few more basic books - but I was just going nuts last night trying to figure out the feather stitch .....

Hi, Rahel -

Sorry that the videos aren't downloadable. If you have an iPod, you can actually download them from Google, I believe, but they aren't downloadable to the computer.

Sorry about that!

Best,
Mary

Hi,

I'm new at embroidery and your videos have been extremely helpful. I'm not to good with diagrams so I was extremly grateful to find your site. I think of all of the stitches I've tried so far this one is my favorite.
