Fiber Arts - Embroidery Stitches

This skill builder will get you started with THREE embroidery stitches that we will be using in Fiber Arts. **If you have already done this in 7th grade, please repeat this activity! It's never a bad thing to practice annnnnnd you will be a pro at it!!**

Everyone will get:

-A small piece of felt

-A needle (that NEEDS to be returned at the end of class)

-Embroidery Floss (You choose the color(s)!)

People will share:

-Beeswax (for helping to thread the needle)

-Scissors

For this activity we will be learning:

-The Running Stitch

-The Back Stitch (we will use this one a lot!)

-The Blanket Stitch

This is an example of what your 'Stitch Sampler' should look like:

See the videos below to learn how to do the Running Stitch, Back Stitch and the Blanket Stitch:

**For the Back Stitch it is important to sew BACK into the previous hole...Doing that is what makes a CONTINUOUS LINE as opposed to a BROKEN LINE like the Running Stitch.
