LESSON 95: BUTTONHOLE FLOWERS

Buttonhole Stitch Tutorial:

This tutorial to sew the scallop wheels is going to enchant you. You will surely find it useful in your designs. Highly recommended also for patchwork.

This point is highly recommended for ornamental flowers or individual petals. It works in a clockwise direction:

1-Take out the needle in 1, put it in 2 and take it out in 3, just to the right of 1 inside the circle, with the thread below the needle.

Repeat these movements throughout the circle, spacing as needed. The points can be arranged to radiate regularly or irregularly. Move the insertion point for a less formal effect, or make the reeds different lengths.

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 sharp pointed 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 thread for sewing. Or you can also use fine crochet yarn if it is to decorate something
• 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
