Embroider 8-petal flower - Step by step

The embroidery of the 8-petal flower is done with single-ply twisted thread such as perle (DMC or Venus) or twisted (Retors d'Alsace), size 8 or 5 depending on the size of the control. For 0,5 cm squares we use threads no. 8 pearled and twisted. The classic color is white.

The basis points that are used are the double cross stitch, the running stitch and the circular stitch, alone and/or coupled together. These stitches should be done in successive steps, following the squares of the fabric to be stretched, for example with a hoop, and are done in a specific order to keep the back of the work beautiful and also clean.
