How-To Stitch A Satin Stitch

Learn how-to stitch a satin stitch with MischievousRaven and then use the stitch to make a Dunkin Doughnut dog toy.

Step 1
Gather all your materials.
Step 2
Put your material between the 2 hoops and tighten. To start with (for practise), draw a box with the pencil on your tightened material.
Step 3
Thread your embroidery thread through the needle so its doubled up and tie a knot at the end. Now some people don't double it and tie the ends, but if your anything like me you find it starts to unravel.

To start stitching, I start at the top corner on your pencil line.
Step 4
Then sew on the bottom corner on the line. Come back to the top and insert your needle as close to where u first started and then sew down to as close as you can to the bottom of the stitch.
Step 5
Keep going until your getting close to finishing your thread. Should look something like this.
Step 6
When you have come to the end of your thread, turn over to the back and tie a knot. repeat previous steps till you reach the end of your penciled line.
Step 7
Tie off on the back and voila, you have satin stitched
Step 8
If your feeling a bit adventurous and want to do something other than a box, draw your design and do a running stitch on the penciled line.
Step 9
And satin stitch it.
