I was trying to think of a way to teach everyone some basic embroidery stitches, so I sketched out a little grid for a video stitch guide tutorial. It was just something I threw together, but it actually turned out kind of nice. It’s nice to stitch up, so you can learn each of the different embroidery stitches. It also serves as a nice visual in case you forget which stitch is which. I decided to offer it as a free embroidery sampler pattern, which you can download at the end of this post. If you are beginner, check out my How to Embroider for Beginners series.

To stitch this free embroidery sampler pattern, you’ll need:
- 7 inch embroidery hoop
- white linen fabric or a flour sack towel
- embroidery floss – DMC 3837, 3812, 996, 891, and 3706
- ultra fine point Sharpie
- embroidery transfer supplies (see my post on how to transfer an embroidery pattern)
- free embroidery sampler pattern (instructions to download are at the bottom of this post)
I have video tutorials that will show you each of the stitches to finish this embroidery sampler. You can see all of those on my embroidery stitches page.

Really struggling trying to embroider a wild rose. They have the fold over edge of the petals. I have tried satin stitch, with the fold over in a lighter silk, just looked like blocks of satin stitch. Try again this time with long and short. Same effect. Any help, ideas would be very much appreciated.

I have struggled with the same. Try outlining each petal before filling it in. The “why do we use outlines” part of this might help: https://trishburr.com/2014/05/02/outlines/
