How to Hand Embroider a Rose

Step 9 Stem Stitch Part 6

Now that you are at the bottom of you fabric start weaving through the stitches you have just made. It should only take about 2-5 weaves for each pedal of your rose, be careful not to pull your floss while you are weaving always it will look loss (which looks bad) . When you are finished with your weaving leave a "tail" at the end of your land weave. The "tail" should be about half the size of your thumb. The purpose of this "tail" is so that if some of your floss is loose you can pull on it and make it tight again, this makes the rose look much better.
