Description: Sometimes you will hear about the stabbing method or the sewing method when working embroidery stitches. Many of the embroidery stitch tutorials on DIY Stitching or describe these different methods for the same stitch. Which might leave you wondering what's the difference and is one better than the other? Some embroidery stitches only work using one method or the other. For example, a French knot is essentially worked with the stabbing method. That's what you learn, and that's all that will work. However, you can work many embroidery stitches with either method. The benefit to this is that you can find a stitching style that works for you and for the embroidery you're working on. When you're learning a new stitch, try both stabbing and sewing. Do the same if you're having trouble with a stitch, or are looking to increase either your accuracy or speed. As you try the two methods with different stitches, you may find that you enjoy working some with stabbing and others with sewing. You may also find that with one method, it's easier to work right to left, while the other is better working left to right. There are no rules here, so experiment and go with what works! _ _ _ Shop on Amazon: amazon.com/shop/diystitching _ _ _ _ Track Info: Piano Ambient - AShamaluevMusic.
