FRENCH KNOT A. Draw the needle out at 1. Wrap the thread around the needle tip twice. B. Insert the needle back through the fabric at 2, just next to 1. Hold the wraps against the fabric as you pull the needle and thread through the fabric to complete the knot. C. For smaller French knots, wrap the thread around the needle only once. LAZY DAISY STITCH A. Draw the needle out at 1. Wrap the floss around the needle tip. Insert the needle at 2 (this is actually the same hole as 1), then draw the needle out again at 3. B. This is the same process used to make a chain stitch as shown on page 49. C. Pull the needle and floss through the fabric until a small loop remains. Insert the needle at 4, making a tiny straight stitch to secure the loop. SATIN STITCH A. Draw the needle out at 1, insert it at 2, then draw the needle out again at 3. B. Continue stitching from outline to outline to fill the area.
