My Favourite Stitches: A Free Guide

• Short guide to Caroline's most-used embroidery stitches and the way she works them.
• Learn the basic stitches you need so you can make a start.

I taught myself to stitch by threading a needle and drawing with the thread. Unless you are doing stylised, decorative embroidery, you really don't need to learn lots of stitches to start creating beautiful embroidery. Add them later by all means, but this guide is all you need to get started.
