Once I finish my Autumn/Winter Overdress I would like to embroider on my VAD panel, my two VADs and my first wool shawl. I have very little experience with embroidery and just know a couple of hand stitches. (see, 'Stitches and Seems') I recently bought my first 10-inch embroidery hoop, quite a few DMC floss colors and some needles. I look forward to learning some basic embroidery and adding some color and texture to my clothing. Please see, 'Stitches and Seems' for other stitches, examples and links. The 2 Main SCA Period Stitches for Embroidery - Split Stitch *** Great solid lines, but also a thin and delicate looking outline; used for filling in areas, you can do ALL of your embroidery with this single stitch. - Chain Stitch *** Great for thickly outlining designs. Also depending on time period/region: - Stem Stitch - Satin Stitch (to fill in areas, will need to sew an outline) - Couching - Bayeau Stitch also - Blanket Stitch * (As a Decorative Edging for Appliqué, used to prevent fraying / unraveling, and add visual interets) Resources Embroidery for Clothing – Anglo-Saxon (24-page, PDF) by Jane Stockton A Brief Overview of Medieval Embroidery (5-page, PDF) by Diane de Arden Completely Basic Period Embroidery (4-page, PDF) by Rafaella d'Allemtejo - Nov. 1, A.S.
