Decorative stitches for making borders
There are many types of hand embroidery stitches that we use in modern embroidery. Some are best for outlines, some for filling, some for lettering, and some – for border designs.
The border design is a pattern that runs lengthwise along the edge of the fabric or a garment. Usually, we use border designs to decorate clothes and tableware. It is common to use border designs in quilting too.
In this article, I listed hand embroidery stitches that you can choose from for creating beautiful border designs. Each link in this blog post will lead you to a detailed description of the stitch and a video tutorial, where I demonstrate how to embroider that stitch.
