LESSON 80: Stem point

Stem Point Tutorial:

We present this stem stitch tutorial for you to enjoy.

It is often used for straight and curved lines or in rows closely together to make a fill. We warn you that it is difficult to have a regular point without first practicing. The stitches must be quite long. On the other hand, a firm and rounded thread will further enhance the effect of the twist. Work from top to bottom.

-Fig. A: Take out the needle in 1 and put it in 2. Make a loop with the thread and take out the needle in 3, inside the loop and pass the entire needle with all the thread

Fig. B: Make a loop with the thread and insert the needle at 4, as close as possible to the last stitch you just made almost below the thread. Pull out the needle at 5 inside the loop. Pull the needle toward you to tighten the thread.

Fig. C: Repeat the steps as much as you need. Secure the last stitch with a small backstitch stitch.

From here we invite you to try it and you will be surprised by the effect. I encourage you to try and you will love it.

Follow the tutorial step by step and you will see how while you are sewing you can think of other ways to make other stitches, even combined with all the ones that I am putting here. You can use it both in borders, as in curtains, sheets, towels etc. or as a simple ornament point in one of your paintings. It is best to follow the video step by step here:

Materials

• You need a blunt needle. In your trusted haberdashery they can advise you on this.
• Thimble, we know that it is not easy to get used to it, but the earlier you adapt, the better, you will avoid many punctures.
• Special pearl or mouliné thread. Or you can also use fine crochet yarn
• Frame, there are made of wood, plastic and silicone. Lately I spend the silicone ones because I like them better, but that goes to taste.
• Light, the more the better and to be able to be natural
