How to turn hand lettering into hand embroidery

Показать описание
Turning your hand lettering, or cursive, into hand embroidery is easier than you think! In this tutorial video, I’ll demonstrate with the word, “hello.” My top three tips for doing this are:

1. Choose a stitch that follows a curve well. There are so many options for you to choose from, including back, stem, outline, chain, and split back stitches (I’m using split back stitch here).

2. Adjust the length of your stitches depending on how tight your curves are - it’s easier to follow a tighter curve with shorter stitches.

3. Stitch like you write - if, when you’re writing, you overlap a line, that means you’ll do the same thing while you’re stitching. This is the best way to ensure your final product looks like actual writing.

SUPPLIES

I’m stitching on two layers of linen using all six strands of cotton embroidery floss; this is the Sonata Seat Stand from Hawthorn Handmade; and I’m writing on my fabric with a blue water-erasable fabric pen.

WOW! This is exactly what I was looking for! I just finished my first baby quilt and wanted to embroider the baby's name and birthdate on the front of the quilt but did not want the embroidery to stand out from the overall appearance of the quilt. I wanted to keep it simple and this is exactly what I will do tomorrow to finish the quilt. I cannot thank you enough for this very helpful video!

This was very helpful, thank you. Your style of speaking and teaching is clear and soothing. After watching your video, I feel more confident to try doing embroidery.

Thank you for your easy-to-follow tutorial. I have a custom junk journal order with a request to embroider a name on the denim cover. I haven't done any embroidery for years and years. This technique is perfect! Your video was the first I looked at, too. xo

If you were doing this on a piece of clothing, what would you put behind it to avoid skin irritation from the stitching?

How do you know how long of thread you will need. Can you maybe show how you thread your needle?
