In this tutorial, you'll learn how to stitch a beautiful and dimensional woven pico stitch using Eleganza™ perle cotton thread. This versatile embroidery technique is perfect for adding raised texture and decorative accents to your hand embroidery projects. We’ll walk you through everything you need from selecting the right needles to weaving the thread for a clean, structured finish. Using a #5 weight variegated perle cotton thread, you’ll see how the color shifts enhance the visual effect of the pico. Along the way, we’ll also share helpful tips on tension control, using a support needle, and how to finish your stitch without distortion.
This woven pico stitch is ideal for petals, leaves, animal details, and even geometric motifs perfect for projects like Sue Spargo’s 90-Day Circle Sampler. It’s a great addition to your embroidery toolkit, whether you're a beginner or looking to expand your hand embroidery with perle cotton skills. We also show you how to secure the pico tip with InvisaFil™ if you prefer a more fixed finish. If you’re exploring new techniques in perle cotton embroidery, this video is a great place to start!
