French Knots
Bring the thread out at the required position, hold the thread down with the left thumb and encircle the thread twice with the needle.  Still holding the thread firmly, twist the needle back to the starting point and insert it close to where the thread first emerged.  Pull thread through to the back and secure for a single French Knot or pass on to the position of the next stitch.

Back Stitch
Bring the thread through on the stitch line, then take a small backward stitch through the fabric. Bring the needle through again a little in front of the first stitch, take another stitch, inserting the needle at the point where it first came through.

Lazy Daisy Stitch
Work in the same way as Chain Stitch, but fasten each loop at the foot with a small stitch. This stitch may be worked singly or in groups to form flower petals.

Running Stitch
Working from right to left, work a row of Running Stitch by passing the needle over and under the fabric, following the shape of the design.
