    [​IMG] Leaf Stitch-This is a pretty way of filling in a leaf shape. Starting at point of leaf, make a straight stitch part way down center. Bring needle out on left edge. Leaving a loop of yarn, insert needle on right edge. Now hold down loop with a small stitch over centre.

    [​IMG] Brick Stitch-Work a row of straight stitches, leaving the width of a stitch between every adjoining stitch. Make a second row of stitches in the same manner but interlock them with the first row of stitches. If you turn your work on its side, you will see how the stitches look like a brick surface.

    [​IMG] Holbein Stich-Do the running stitch along guide line. Be sure that each stitch and the space between stitches are of equal size. On the return journey work running stitch so that all the spaces are filled in.

    next comes feather chain stitch:
    This creates a pretty zig-zag line. The stitch is made up of chain stitches and is worked in a downwards direction, worked alternately to the left and to the right on a slant. These are then connected by straight diagonal stitches as shown.

    the next one is
    reverse chain stitch or broad chain stitch:
    It can be worked on even-weave or plain fabrics and creates a bold line.
    Sew this stitch a downwards direction. If chain stitch is done from bottom to top, reverse chain stitch is done form top to bottom
