It is a a beautiful thought of you to gift your dear boyfriend something made by you always.

Thanks for going thru the embroidery section. Did you find the instructions difficult to follow? Do let me know if so.

Certainly let me suggest you a few stitches that can be good for embroidering alphabets…
–I feel ‘raised chain band stitch’ is good for doing alphabets. But it would require you to use two colors of thread. Since you already have black, you can use a lighter color like cream or off-white along with it.
–My second suggestion is the ‘rope stitch’. If the your thread is thick, this stitch will come out really well I suggest not to do this stitch if your thread is thin.
–Now, if these two stitches seem difficult for you, (understandably, since you are very new to embroidery), you can try the ‘running stitch (variety 1)’. For this you can use a single color or two colors, as per your wish. I would recommend two colors, one black and the other a lighter one.
–If you would like, you can make little ‘lazy daisy stitch’ flowers around ‘happy birthday’ to beautify it. It is a very easy stitch to do.
All these stitches are listed on the right hand side bar for you to follow.

Hope this has helped. Wishing your boyfriend a very happy birthday and both of you happiness always!

My boyfriend’s birthday is coming and everytime I give him something created by me.

This time I am planning to gift him a frame with the words “Happy Birthday” embroided on a piece of cloth.

I am very new to embroidery and was trying to learn simple stitched from your site … but I failed

Can you please help me, what kind of stitch will be best suited to embroide alphabets.

I have purchased a marron coloured cloth and black thread.
