Mastering embroidery begins with understanding technique names and their distinct applications—from foundational stitches to advanced specialty methods. Basic stitches like running, backstitch, and satin stitch form the building blocks, while composite stitches like Pekinese or raised stem stitch combine fundamentals for textured effects. Regional techniques carry cultural names: Brazilian dimensional embroidery, Japanese sashiko, or Hungarian Kalocsa each have characteristic materials and motifs. Contemporary innovations include “thread painting” for photorealistic shading and “needle lace” for delicate openwork. Many techniques derive names from their visual effect—French knots resemble tiny berries, while feather stitch mimics avian plumage. Some advanced methods like goldwork or blackwork reference historical materials or predominant colors. Learning these terms allows embroiderers to follow patterns accurately and expand their creative repertoire with intention.

Sun Wheel stitch is a beautiful stitch that can be incorporated into many embroidery patters. If you have seen my buttonhole wheel, then you can see how similar both these stitches are. While we work the buttonhole wheel on the outside, for this sun wheel, we work it on the inside. What you will need?…Read More »
Custom Name Wreath Embroidery Hoop Art / Hand Stitched Personalised Gift For Her / Custom Quote Floral Wall Décor / Flowers Art Home Decor

There is an embroidered wreath of wildflowers (chamomile, forget me not and carnation) in a wooden hoop. 100% handwork. The embroidery is completely finished. But if you want to add some custom text (custom name, custom baby name, date or quote from a favorite book), I will be able to paste it on the hoop. You may choose thread colors as you’d like for the words, preferences for the font (cursive, block, or combination of both). Please leave in the comments section wich words and colors you would like me to use. Each of my embroidery hoops is hand-drawn and then stitched by hand. I use my own pattern and make to order so every embroidery is unique and original. Embroidery is made on beige linen cloth with cotton DMC thread. The hoop frame diameter is 13 cm, thickness – 0.8 cm. This floral composition combines several embroidery techniques, the stitches used are French knot, back stitch, lazy daisy, chain stitch, satin stitch. The hoop backside is made of cardboard. This hoop will be a perfect home decoration creating a warm atmosphere at home – the picture is stitched with positive thinking and love of embroidery art. These flowers will remind you of meadow and summer all year round. Furthermore, you may give this embroidery as a souvenir to your friends, colleagues or family members. If you would like your order to be a gift with a gift note attached, I will do that for you with pleasure, just let me know. Simply provide the recipient’s address and name and any details you would like to include in a package. For any questions, please, contact me. I’ll be glad to help.
