Seed Stitch

01

Each individual Seed Stitch is worked as a small straight stitch about 2-3mm long. Bring your needle up for the first stitch then push it back in a short distance away. Work the next stitch in the same way, in a different direction. Make sure your stitches all face different directions to create a random effect.

02

To create different densities of seeding, space the stitches closer together then gradually space them further apart as you work outwards. It can be helpful to draw rough outlines of these with a water-erasable pen to help with the spacing. Wash the lines out when you’ve finished stitching.
