French Knot Embroidery
Bring the needle to the front of the fabric and wrap the thread around the needle three or four times. Bring the needle down through the fabric next to where it came out, holding the thread tight in your fingers. Pull the needle through the knot to the back of the fabric.
Satin Stitch Embroidery
Begin as you would for a running stitch, by making a single stitch. Bring your needle back up through the fabric directly next to where you began the first stitch. Make a parallel stitch to the first as close to the first stitch as possible. Repeat to create a solid field.
Chain Stitch Embroidery
Bring the needle up from the back of the fabric and pull the thread through. Put the needle back through the fabric a scant 1/16-inch from where you began, but do not pull the thread all the way through. Leave a short, loose loop. Bring the needle back up about 1/4-inch away, and pull [...]
Backstitch Embroidery
Bring the needle and thread from the back to the front of the fabric. Put the needle down through the fabric about 1/8-inch away from where you started (For right-handers, it may feel more natural to move to the left; left-handers may prefer the right). Bring the needle up approximately 1/8-inch away from where [...]

French Knots + Pillows = Awesome
Quilted pillows have become extremely popular items over on Flickr. Sewists seem to love the more manageable nature of pillow projects versus full-sized quilts — you can design and make a pillow in a single sitting, trying new techniques and fabric combinations along the way. It's (nearly) instant gratification! This trend is no doubt fueled [...]
