Embroidery Stitches 1. Satin Stitch: Bring needle up at 1, down at 2, then back up right next to 1 and down right next to 2. Place stitches closely together to fill in area. Be sure the thread lays flat and without any twisting to produce a smooth look. 2. Ladder Stitch: The Ladder Stitch is used to attach separate parts as a doll’s head. It’s called the ladder stitch because the stitches look like a ladder until you put the stitches tight close the seam. Pull every four or five stitches as you stitch. When the thread is tightened, the stitches should be virtually invisible. 3. Applique Stitch: Stitching a felt piece onto a felt surface.Place the appliqué on the background felt. Make tiny stitches perpendicular to the edge of the appliqué. 4. Lazy Daisy: Make a small loop and then anchor it with a single stitch at top for the decorative stitch that resembles a flower petal. 5. Straight Stitch: Use a simple straight stitch to create a motif. 6. Back Stitch: Work from right to left. Bring needle up at 1 and back down at 2. Move left and bring needle up at 3, then back down at 1. Continue stitching. 7. Blanket Stitch: Work from left to right. Bring needle up at 1, down at 2 and up at 3, keeping thethread looped under the needle. Pull thread through and shape stitch as desired. Repeat multiple stitches until complete. 8. French Knot: Bring the needle up at the point at which you want to make your French knot,hold the thread and wrap it around the needle twice, as shown. Bring the needle back to the starting point and put the point back through the fabric very near where it emerged (be careful not use the same exact hole). Pull the needle to the back of the felt and pull out. To make a bigger knot, wrap more twists of thread around the needle and/or use more strands of floss in your needle.

Cut

Cut out the template, and attach it to the felt using tape. Cut over the tape. Remove the paper. ( I like to use masking tape).

How to avoid ribbon from fraying

Dip the nail polish brush into the nail polish. Wipe the brush on the top of the bottle to remove excess polish. Apply a thin layer to the edges of the ribbon. Pick it up and hold it to ensure it does not adhere to a surface. Try not to apply it in a thick coat or past the edge, it can make the ribbon look dark and wet if applied too heavily.

1. Position the head so that it overlaps the body. Using two strands of white thread, attach the head to the body using Ladder Stitch. Keep your stitches very tiny and straight as you go around and this will give a nice finish to the seam. If the head seems wobbly, go back around one more time with the ladder stitch. Pin ears in place on the head seam and Ladder Stitch front and back of ears onto the head seam. Ladder Stitch front and back of the doll. 2. Pin the arms to sides of the body. Using a longer needle threaded with White Thread, insert the needle underneath one arm and bring it through the body and out through the other inner side of the arm. Insert the needle underneath the other arm and bring it through the body and out in the other side. Repeat the process a few more times and end off underneath an arm. Note: Photos of how to attach arms can be found on next page.
