Spiral Trellis Stitch Step-by-Step Tutorial
1. The spiral trellis is a 3D embroidery stitch that creates a raised dome on the front of the fabric. Start by outlining the circle with the back stitch. These stitches should be short, because they’re the anchors and base of the spiral trellis.
2. Next, bring the needle up parallel to the middle of the last back stitch made, on the inside of the circle.
3. From the inside of the circle, slide the needle underneath the back stitch. With the needle under the back stitch, slide the working thread around the needle counterclockwise. Then continue pushing the needle out from underneath the back stitch. Gently tug so that the thread knot is flush with the back stitch and pulled towards the inside of the circle.
4. Repeat going all the way around the circle.
5. After the first row is stitched, add the second. These stitches are made by sliding the needle underneath the loop of thread between the thread knots in each row. Keep working around the circle until it is entirely filled in.
6. To end this stitch, bring the needle down through the fabric in the middle of the circle.
