How to embroider bullion stitch roses
The center of a rose is made of 2 bullions stitches with 2 threads and 2 wraps, starting and finishing in the same hole
The rose is made of a succession of bullion stitches worked around and overlapping slightly.
What I call “the first round” in the construction of a rose is articulated around the center. It consists of three petals that form a circle.
Here is the first. It is a bullion stitch of about 12 wraps. It starts half way of a center stitch, turns around their tip and ends on the other side also to half way.
This is the second petal. The bullion stitch of about 15 wraps starts at the first half backwards relative to the direction of rotation you have chosen. It ends at the opposite.
