We're coming back up in the center every time to limit the amount of stray floss on the back of the embroidery - the more wild strands you have back there, the more likely you are to snag them and ruin your flower! Work your way around the wheel, stitching each spoke and bringing the floss back up through the center of the flower for each new spoke. Then, insert your needle into the fabric at the end of one of the spokes and pull through. Start by bringing your floss to the front of the fabric through the very center of the flower. I like to do this just to speed up the process a little! Thread two needles - one with the main flower color, and one with the center color. We're going to tackle the big flower in the center first! Here's a video showing how I stitch these flowers: As long as you use an odd number of spokes you'll be fine. For larger ones, use 5 and 7 spokes or even more. You can make these flowers any size you want, too! For small flowers, you'll need 3 spokes. These flowers are made by creating a spoked wheel on the fabric and then weaving your floss in and out of the spokes. To get the right look, we're actually going to do a little bit of weaving. Now I'll teach you how to make beautiful flowers! They may look complicated, but they're not. ![]()
