Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 311: Seed Stitch

2025 got off to a bad start with fatigue and one setback after another. Finally, I am ready to re-open Sunday Stitch School again.

While resting and gaining my strength back, I reviewed my stitch collection. Several of the basic stitches had not yet been included. 

Back in July 2021, I introduced stitch #177 Double Seed Stitch. However, I should have started with the single version, so let's do that today.

Therefore, this week's stitch is Seed Stitch, also known as Seeding Stitch and Speckling Stitch, according to Reader's Digest Complete Book of Embroidery. 

In Mary Thomas's Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches, its other names are Seed Filling Stitch and Isolated Back Stitch.


It's an easy stitch, you simply scatter a number of short Straight Stitches, 

in various directions over an area to be filled.
