Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 249: Fly Stitch Rose

It's time to do a ribbon embroidery stitch, don't you think? Fly Stitch Rose. 

This stitch can be found in many places. Sharon Boggon has a nice picture tutorial in her book 'The Visual Guide to Crazy Quilting Design'. It is often found worked in stranded floss or other types of 'ordinary' embroidery threads. Then the stitch seems to be called Woven Rose or Woven Spider Web Rose.

Arts&Design


All these names give you a hint of how the stitch is worked: A Fly Stitch + needle weaving in a circle.

Let's have a look. Make a circle

with five points evenly spaced.








Fasten the extend Fly Stitch on the back.


Work the rose with ribbon for ribbon embroidery.


Weave the needle over and under the legs.


Let the ribbon twist and scrunch up for 

a realistic look.


Anchor the stitch on the back.


Isn't it beautiful? Can you smell the fragrance?

    I do like this stitch and sometimes use it in crazy quilt projects. It looks great and is not at all difficult!

    Yes, it's a remarkably effective rose. The ribbon makes all the difference.

    I think that tha method of entangling the ribon in the stitch is very good.
    It seems that it can be made more stably than roses with only ribbons.
