Embroidery Stitches: Fern Stitch Video Tutorial
The Video Library of Embroidery Stitches expands again with a video tutorial on the fern stitch. This is a simple stitch that can be used in a number of hand embroidery applications: as a decorative border, as greenery in embroidered flower arrangements, to make curves and lines interesting, etc.
The basic unit of the fern stitch is three straight stitches that converge at the same point. You can achieve interesting and varied effects with the stitch by widening it as you work down the "fern" (or stem), by taking it narrower, by curving it, by overlapping it - play around with it, and you'll see how versatile it is!
Here's the video - have fun with it!

I am so glad to find your website. I was searching online for a few days for something like it.
I want to learn a few stitches to decorate crazy patchwork project. Keep up the good work. God bless.
You are truly gifted as well as generous with your time and talent; thank you for sharing. I have books but could not learn the stitches from reading them alone. Your tutorials are just what I needed and I cannot find the words to adequately thank you enough. Betty
