How to Stitch an Outlined Diamond Eyelet Stitch

To learn how to stitch an Outlined Diamond Eyelet Stitch, you will need:

• a piece of evenweave fabric large enough to overlap the hoop by a few inches
• a short length of embroidery floss - any color
• a tapestry needle
• a pair of sharp scissors
• a small embroidery hoop

Place the fabric in the hoop and set aside. Cut a length of embroidery floss 14-18 inches long. Use a waste knot to start the stitch. An alternate method for securing the floss is the loop method. (If you use the loop method, double the length of the floss.)
