Decorative Ribbon Embroidery
Adding ribbon embroidery to cross stitch can enhance the overall texture and visual appeal of the project. The silky, 3-D nature of the ribbon creates a striking contrast to the threads of traditional cross stitch, bringing floral motifs, leaves and other elements to life. This technique adds depth and a touch of elegance, making the stitching even more dynamic and engaging. Common ribbon embroidery stitches include lazy daisy stitch, loop stitch, ribbon stitch, spider web rose, stem stitch and whipped stem stitch.
