hand embroidered signatures


	How to hand embroider signatures by Nancy Reilly (Concord, MA) I am a beginner and want to hand embroider my children's signatures on napkins. I have the hoop, floss, signatures and a way to transfer them onto the napkins. I don't know what the best stitch would be for this project. I want the signatures to be dramatic and think I want a very tight stitch. What advice do you have for me? Thank you, Nancy Reilly Carol answers... There are a number of "line" stitches that you could use to work over the signatures, Nancy. Perhaps the best know would be stem stitch which is often used in redwork embroidery. You could also try using chain stitch or split stitch, which resembles a very close chain stitch. I will be adding some pages on embroidering letters to the site soon as many people ask for ideas for lettering. Click here to post comments. Join in and write your own page! It's easy to do. How?
