How to Embroider the Flowers

1. Make satin stitches with blue.

2. For the center of the flowers, make french knots with yellow.

3. I also added a straight stitch with yellow in the center of the flower petals

How To Embroider the Leaves

4. Back stitch the stems with green.

5. Make detached chain stitches for the leaves.

Outline The Sewing Machine

6. Back stitch the outline of the sewing machine. Leave the thread alone, as we’ll be stitching that with a different color.

Stitch the Spool of Thread

7. Embroider the spool of thread with orange. Start by making horizontal stitches. Then make some diagonal stitches over top of the horizontal stitches. Then, make a few diagonal stitches over top of the other stitches going the other direction so that the thread looks like its wrapped around the spool.

8. Using orange still, stitch the thread running across and through the sewing machine using one strand of the embroidery floss.
