Stitching 101 is curated by Rene’ Martinez of Rene’Creates (and owner of The Craft Table) and includes many basic, and not so basic, embroidery stitches that she tends to use in her embroidery designs. You will find that most embroidery patterns use many of these stitches. This guide is a great companion to Stick and Stitch designs and fabric panels that may not include instructions for the actual stitching.

NOTE: This guide does not include any actual embroidery pattern. Any images reflecting embroidery designs are just to represent the types of stitches covered in the guide.
