Flower Fantasy
Petals (1) at the back of the flower
You will find below the explanations and photos necessary to embroider the 5 petals located at the back of the flower.
I remind you that to obtain a beautiful result with patterns made with satin or long and short stitch, it is recommended to first outline them in backstitch with 1 thread.
You will find an illustration in the first photo of this article but I will not refer to it afterward.
The satin stitch and the long and short stitch are always made with 1 thread. Decorative stitches are sometimes done with 2 threads but this will be indicated in the explanations.
Underline the upper part of the petal with backstitch,1 thread, and color 963.

Add a few straight stitches in the lower part of the petal with the color 3820.
