To stitch a three-quarter stitch, you will need:

  • a pair of sharp scissors
  • a small embroidery hoop
  • a piece of 11-count Aida fabric large enough to overlap the hoop by a few inches
  • a short length of embroidery floss - any color
  • a size 24 tapestry needle.

    Place the fabric in the hoop and set aside. Cut a 12 inch length of six-strand embroidery floss and separate out two strands and thread the tapestry needle.

    A diagram of a three-quarter stitch is shown above.
