Fantasy flower
Petals (2) in the back and center (3)
Below you will find the explanations and photos needed to embroider the second row of petals (2) located at the back of the flower as well as the center (3) and the small leaf that accompanies it.
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.
The satin 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.
