Illustrated tutorial on Russian chain embroidery stitches based on stitches

Russian embroidery It is usually a type of chain embroidery. It is composed of several groups of clover-shaped patterns. The ideal design is that the direction of the first group of patterns is upward. The embroidery of this pattern is more suitable for trimming. If you plan to make a horizontal border, start with the first pattern facing up and work your way down one by one. If they are vertical edges, they can be arranged one after the other, and again, with the first pattern pointing upwards.
For the convenience of demonstration, I embroidered in reverse order (so you will see the first pattern facing downwards). When demonstrating, I will embroider a vertical edge at the position of three parallel lines.

1. How to embroider the first loop: Start the needle from below point A on the second line, thread it up, then lower the needle from point A and sew to point B on the second line, and wrap the thread around the needle tip Make a loop and take out the needle from point B.

2. Embroidery method for the second loop: stitch from point B to point C on the first line, formed between BC 45° angle. Wrap the thread around the needle tip and take out the needle from point C.

3. Insert the needle from the outside of the loop at point C to secure the loop, then sew to point B and remove the needle.

4. In the same way, we embroider the third loop: this time starting from point B and stitching to point D on the third line. The angle of BD is the same as the angle of BC. When taking the next pattern, insert the needle from the outside of point D to fix the ring.

5. When completed, this Russian-style chain embroidery clover pattern will look like this. Said before. The pattern direction demonstrated is reversed, ideally with the first ring facing up.
