This video shows you how to embroider twisted chain stitches on knitted fabric for a beautiful embellishment. We also have videos for embroidering French knots (youtu.be/u6wbFUaunxU) and detached chain stitch (youtu.be/J98_CnVziqw).
Between 05:40 and 06:45 I refer to the twisted stitches as petals a couple of times. I really mean stem stitches, or just stitches. Apologies for that!
