Simple Ribbon Embroidery Stitches Tutorials I Use in My Works
Sorry for long time absence, as we got stuck with some alteration works for our house. I could not find time to spare time to my blog. Recently, I thought it would be useful to show basic stitches I mostly use in my ribbon embroidery works. For the first part, I will display 4 basic stitches with you.
Feather Stitch
In Turkish we call this stitch as Y stitch as it resembles us the style of Y letter :) This is a line stitch that is worked down towards. I did not care that pictures are taken horizontally but you assume it as vertically, it will be easier for you :)
I’ve used 7 mm silk ribbon in this stitch. First thread your ribbon through your needle’s eye and bring your needle up from down at point 1, pull down at point 2 and bring up again at point 3.
Then, keep the distance parallel to points 2-3 line and pull your needle down at point 4. And then bring up at point 5. At this point keep the ribbon beneath the needle!
We’ve already completed our 2 Y stitch. In this step you may be confused but just follow the points you will get easy to complete it. So for this step, pull your needle down at point 6 and up at point 7.
Final result of our Feather (Y ) stitch is like this :)
Gathered Ribbon Rose
In Turkisg, we call as “Pitircik” for the ribbon I used in my this flower stitch. Never seen this type of ribbon in foreign blogs. This ribbon has sewing eyes on its edges that you can bring thred towards. I’m not sure if my explanation is clear but you can understand it from the first picture:)
For this flower, I used 5 mm Pitircik Ribbon. Using a machine sewing thread, bring it through sewing eyes with your needle as demonstrated in picture.
Pull up thread slightly to gather your ribbon.
Fold your ribbon around center and sew tops of ribbon with thread to the fabric.
At the end, put a white pearl bead in center. Here is our lovely flower :)
Fly Stitch
There are of course various Fly stitches but the one I will share is the most common used one I guess. Here is how to,
In this stitch, I have used 7 mm ribbon but you can also use 3 mm instead. First bring up your needle from 1 and pull down at point 2.
Sorry that the angle of the picture is not the same as in previous picture..I hope you do not confuse..Bring up your ribbon from point 3 and hold ribbon with your thumb. Then down ribbon at point 4 and up from 5.
In the next step, pull your ribbon down about 2 cm far from point 5 as seen in picture.
And in this step, bring up your ribbon from point 6, pull down at 7 and bring up again at point 8 similarly we did in our 2nd step.
We finally complete our Fly Stitch.
Loop Stitch
In Turkish we call this stitch as “Daisy” but in english term it has different name. I learnt it thanks to Meri. So let’s start this post’s last how-to stitch.
I’ve used 10 mm ribbon for this stitch and start with bringing your ribbon up from underside of fabric.
Right through the near point we brought ribbon, pull down your ribbon backside and leave a loop size to make your petal.
For this I used a pencil to give each petal a smooth look.
Similarly repeat the same loops in a circle for as many petals you want to make for your flower. You can embellish your flower with some beads also as I did :)
Finally
I hope you enjoyed these tutorials. I specially want to thank Meri for helping me naming these stitches which I was not sure. Please extend me your thoughts, ideas or any requests. Next time, I will create a 2nd series of this Simple SRE Stitches Tutorials and afterwards I will show you how to make Hydrangea Flower Stitch.

Hi Meri,
Thanks for your quick visit :)
I’m excited with your project. I would love to make additions to it as much as I can. Making a pdf book of tutorials I shared on my site is what I consider doing in future too. Just not sure how to do so. Ping me please when you completed your project, as I don’t want to miss it. Sorry for not having visited your site for some while, just I’m some very busy :(.
The glossary is ready and “in the air”.
I’ve sent you an e-mail a while ago.
