When filling in an area, it depends on the "look" I want (smooth, pebbled, etc.), but for something like a pewter pot, I'd go with a satin stitch or a "long and short" stitch for a smooth look. http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art5...
Reply:You can fill it with any stitch you think looks nice. Satin stitch looks nice, but is time consuming and if you are not experienced, is difficult to make the edges look really good. I would sprinkle small cross stitches randomly, or seed stitches. Both of these look really nice and it's not necesaary to fill in completely or make perfect crosses.
Reply:Depending on your design you can use satin stitch,or

seed stitch, when I am doing animals like poodles or sheep I like to use bullion stitch as it gives the impression of curley

fur. this can also be used to create ringlets for crinoline ladies. hope this helps, have fun whatever you decide.

Reply:please remember that i had WAY too much time on my hands back in the way when i used to embroider.

i would do the majority of my outlines with a chain stich then fill with a simple stem stitch. i started on the outer edges and work in a circle until i filled all the way to the middle. it takes a long time but the end result is beautiful and tends not to cause puckering.

i hope that's a clear explanation.
Reply:i would use satin stitch or better still,cross stich. yes, i would go with cross stitch.
