FREE FLORAL EMBROIDERY PATTERNS HOW TO

Since we’ll be stitching a lot of french knots, I’d like to highlight a few important reminders before we start. When it comes to stitching flowers, the french knot is one of the simplest methods, particularly for patterns that are more forgiving, like this floral bouquet. If you’re missing some of the threads I used, you can create your own color palette with the shades you have access to.

Just the usual – fabric, needles, and embroidery floss.

You won’t need an awful lot of materials for this project. In case it feels more comfortable to you, you can substitute the french knot stitch with the colonial knot.

To learn how to stitch the perfect french knot check out my detailed french knot video tutorial. If you’re not familiar with these stitches you can check the stitches videos section of the blog. Today, we’ll be using the split stitch when filling the stems, and the outline stitch for the small veins on each leaf. This design is using some of the basic stitches and a lot of french knots! The fishbone stitch is one of the best choices when embroidering leaves, the split stitch and outline stitch are both great choices for both outlining or filling areas, and the french knot creates gorgeous textures.
