Butterfly Stitch Tutorial
This is a stitch, or I guess a stitch combination, I invented. Well, I have tried Googling ‘butterfly embroidery stitch’ but no results look like these guys, so I guess I have invented it? :-)
Use it to add cute little butterflies to embroidery with flowers or a meadow scene.
