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.
Homework: Add here

So glad you are feeling better. I love the seed stitch. It adds such interesting texture.
I like this stitch. I feel like it's a No Rules stitch.
The tricky thing is always to manage to scatter the seed stitches properly randomly, isn't it!
The classic seed stitch, yes! And your tutorial is great.
I like the napping cat on the sofa in your previous post, cozy.
It has been very cold here, January for sure. Some days I'm tempted to just curl up and nap on the sofa too!
I'm glad you're feeling better.
I love these sparkly star stitches ! ✨⭐✨
What would we do without seed stitch?
So glad you are feeling better. I have been out of action since December but am now back.
