Embroidery is a traditional needlework technique that involves decorating fabrics, garments, and other materials using thread or yarn. It's a great hobby for those who want to express their creativity and add a personal touch to their clothes, accessories, or home decor items.

If you're a beginner, learning the basic embroidery stitches is essential to create beautiful and intricate designs. Here are some of the most common embroidery stitches that you can start with:
Running stitch: This is the most basic stitch in embroidery, where you simply make small straight stitches in a row. It can be used for outlining, filling, or creating texture.

Backstitch: This is a simple stitch that creates a solid line. It's great for outlining, lettering, and creating a fine detail.

Satin stitch: This stitch is used for filling in large areas with solid color. It creates a smooth, shiny surface that looks great on leaves, petals, and other rounded shapes.

French knot: This is a decorative stitch that creates a tiny knot on the surface of the fabric. It can be used for adding texture to flowers, eyes, and other small details.
Chain stitch: This is a looping stitch that creates a line of connected stitches. It's great for outlining, creating borders, and adding texture to a design.

Lazy daisy stitch: This is a simple looped stitch that looks like a tiny flower. It's perfect for creating floral designs and adding a touch of whimsy to your embroidery.

These are just a few of the many embroidery stitches that you can learn as a beginner. As you practice and gain more experience, you can experiment with different stitches, colors, and patterns to create your own unique embroidery designs.
