At long last, another update to the Video Library of Hand Embroidery Stitches – this tutorial is the oyster stitch.
The oyster stitch is an isolated stitch. In trying to describe what the oyster stitch is, I would say it’s a combination stitch using the twisted detached chain stitch which is “surrounded” by an “open” chain stitch, or even a fly stitch.
The oyster stitch makes a filled oval shape, suitable for flower petals or individual buds and accents.
Here’s the video:
Have fun with it!

thank you thank you thank you! I’ve just found your video for oyster stitch and I’ve got it!!! Yahoo! This is the TAST stitch that I just couldn’t quite figure out. Thank you for your clear explanation – and pointing out that it’s basically a twisted chain inside a chain – that makes it understandable for me!
Please show how to finish each stitch. I do weave my ends in at the back, but that isn’t always possible with out causing more bulk.
A fabulous tutorial.
Thanks
it's awesome…vry nice..thank u..seriously…thank u…
I would like to see the videos
Hi
I am not sure where to post. I would like a video on how to do the cast-on stitch and the double cast-on stitch. I just can’t seem to get it from pictures only. If and when you make more videos, this is what I would like.

I shall add them to the list. Have you looked at the drizzle stitch video? It uses the same steps as cast on stitch, only the stitch goes down in the same hole it came up in. It might help!
I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to do such a fabulous job with your instructional videos. Although I love embroidering, I am not able to get to it often. When I forget how to embroider a stitch, I turn to your website for help and it is always there 100 fold. Thanks, Thanks, Thanks.
