  • Then to add the seeds, make short vertical stitches using 3 strands of yellow thread over top of the red satin stitches.
  • For the center stem, make a couple of back stitches using green.
  • Finally, finish the leaves with lazy daisy stitches.

Another way you could fill in the strawberry is by making couching stitches, using yellow for the anchor stitches. The seeds may be easier to make more uniformly and evenly that way.
