Stitch Doodle Sampler: The Perfect Way Play

October 29, 2015 ShellyStokes

While I was working on my Bailando En La Noche art quilt panels, the second-most common question I heard was, “How do you decide which stitches to use?” Most of the time, I didn’t have a good answer. I was very new to the world of hand embroidery, and I was pretty much using the […]
