Silk Ribbon Embroidery Easy Rose Tutorial
For anyone who struggles with Silk Ribbon Embroidery roses, here is a very easy version that only requires 2 stitches. First, the Japanese Ribbon Stitch and second a French Knot.
I used 7 MM ribbon in my example. To make a Japanese ribbon stitch, bring your ribbon up through your fabric:
Next, put your needle back down into the fabric but pierce your ribbon so you're going through the ribbon and the fabric:
Pull your ribbon to the back of the fabric but be sure to keep the ribbon loose. That's the key to Silk Ribbon Embroidery:
You'll need to do 4 of these next to each other:
This makes the base of the rose. Next, add a single French Knot:
And that's all there is to it!
They make pretty roses on hanging vines as you can see in my example:

Super tutorial! Your block is going to be very pretty and very romantic.
ReplyDeleteYou make it sound so easy. I will be taking a class in SRE soon and hope to be able to use this. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great rose Pam, and I'm going to remember this little tutorial. I'll need a laying tool (usually the handle of my crochet hook) to work my loops over, so that they stay about the same size.
ReplyDeleteSuper tute!

That looks easy enough, even for me! I'm going to try it on my Comfort and Joy block that needs a garden out front. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeletethank you for this tutorial, I have made a note to have a go!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing how you make roses. I have never seen them made that way but will be adding them to my stitching.
