Blog > Straight stitch with ribbon
Straight stitches, worked with ribbon in different lengths, are ideal for making stems, blades of grass and thin, pointed leaves.
Best worked with the fabric stretched in a hoop or frame. It is a good idea to work over a spare tapestry needle (or similar object) when you make the stitch. This way, the stitch is slightly raised up off the surface of the design.
Remember to work with a gentle tension so as not to scrunch the ribbon up by pulling it too hard when you take your needle to the back of your work :)
Stitches are made stab-stitch-style: take the needle and thread all the way to the back of your work before coming up to form the next stitch.
