Simple lettering embroidery with split stitch | Learn Hand Embroidery | Split Stitch Tips

Super simple lettering embroidery technique! Split stitch tips: - It’s better to use with an even number of strands • - Make sure to split the strands • - Option 1: moving forward - thread saving • - Option 2: moving backwards - more precise (easier for beginners) • - Extra split stitch at the end of the line to keep the regular texture • - Make shorter stitches at the curves to make them smoother • - At the lines intersections, you can either: • - A) end your split back stitch when you meet this intersection for the first time - to create a gap - next time make continuous split stitch over that intersection - this way the stitches do not rise above the rest of the lines • - B) Make continuous stitching and let your split stitches overlap to create a fun texture Follow @gen
