Of all the hand sewing stitches that exist, I think the most beautiful, when done well, is the satin stitch. I love this stitch! It does take a little perform to get the hang of satin stitching, and it is true that it is not a very “forgiving” stitch.

But possibly this adds somewhat to its beauty – because we not only have a high regard for it for the pleasure it gives us when we see wonderfully worked satin stitch, but, when we know what goes into it, we can truly be thankful for the “art” behind the sewing.

Don’t let this discourage you if you are a beginner! In concept, satin stitch is very easy. It just takes a little practice to get the boundaries right and to gauge the distance between your stitches.
If you aren’t well-known with what satin stitch looks like, you’ll find some close-ups of a piece that is worked entirely in satin stitch and stem stitch here.

The following video tutorial is for the padded satin stitch, to be accurate. However, the same concepts work with non-padded satin stitching. The tutorial is rather long (almost 8 minutes). I filmed it in stages, from exactness, to padding, to satin stitching. I hope you find it helpful!
