Thethrow stitch
This is

the basic stitch from which many other embroidery stitches are derived. To form a throw stitch, simply pull the needle out of the fabric and insert it again at the desired stitch length. Stitches can be seeded for a light fill, or arranged more precisely to form a flower. Tightly worked throw stitches make up the different variants of passé plat and other smooth-surfaced filling stitches.

Stem stitch

Also known as cast-on stitch, this is a line stitch with a twisted effect, well suited to filling surfaces when embroidered in parallel lines. Stem stitch is executed against the direction of thread twist and from left to right, taking the needle out and putting it back in exactly on the line. Stitch halfway through the stitch (holding the thread down), then tighten by pulling the thread to the left. Each stitch is therefore half a stitch longer than the previous one.

Thechain stitch

Used to mark a line or fill a surface, the chain stitch seduces with its relief. It was traditionally used in white embroidery to fill in festoons. Each chain is formed from the previous one, with the thread looped as it is tightened.

Thestitch in front
This is

a very simple stitch whose success depends on its regularity. Simply remove the needle from the fabric and insert it again at regular intervals. Well aligned, in straight or curved lines, with very regular stitches and spaces between them, this is a very decorative stitch.

Theknot stitch
the knot stitch creates small raised dots, making it very useful for embroidering flower hearts, eyes and other small details. Take it with your left hand and wrap it around the needle (one turn for a small knot, two turns for a larger knot). Without letting go of the thread, place your needle next to the exit point, pull it taut gently and pass the needle through the fabric. It's essential to pull the thread tight at the base of the needle before passing it through the fabric, otherwise you'll end up with a big, shapeless knot! The knot stitch can't be redone: if it's missed, the solution is to pass it on the reverse side.
for the double knot, insert the needle as close as possible to the exit point and turn the thread twice on the needle tip. Pull the knot under your thumb and insert the needle into the fabric in front of the knot.

Slipper stitch
...

	The slipper stitch forms a zig-zag pattern and is embroidered from left to right in a straight line. Take out the needle on the bottom line and insert it again at the top to make a small straight stitch from right to left on the wrong side of the fabric.
Carry out another small straight stitch on the bottom line, keeping a regular distance, then continue
