Satin Stitch
A smooth, closely spaced fill stitch creating a glossy, solid surface. Stitches lie parallel, anchored at edges for a continuous sheen—ideal for petals, leaves, letters, and other polished fills. Maintain even tension and consistent stitch length to prevent gaps, puckering, or uneven shine. For curves, taper stitch lengths slightly and place edges carefully to preserve smooth contours.
I love satin stitches — their silky, smooth finish is so satisfying, and they give a lovely sense of completion to a piece.
