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!
