The stems are embroidered in stem stitch with 1 thread.
The leaves are embroidered in blanket stitch with 2 threads. All the stitches start from the base of the leaf and are embroidered fan-shaped. To obtain pretty sharp leaves, I fix the stitch to the top and I continue to embroider on the other side of the leaf.
