Left-handed stitches

Yvette Stanton is an Australian embroidery designer who is currently working on a left-handed stitch dictionary.

If you happen to be an embroiderer, she is
asking for requests: what stitches do you as a left-hander, particularly want instructions for? If you are a needlework teacher, what stitches would you really like left-handed instructions for your left-handed students?

So far she has had requests for the following embroidery stitches: french knots, colonial knots, ladder stitch and plaited braid stitch.
The dictionary will have simple stitches, right through to much more difficult stitches, all diagrammed step-by-step, with accompanying written instructions and photographs.

Simply leave a comment for Yvette with your stitch request on her blog:
