If you’re looking to add a little extra something to your next embroidery project, consider adding some double sided embroidery! This advanced embroidery technique involves stitching on both the front and back of your fabric, resulting in a beautiful and unique finished product.
To get started, you’ll need a few supplies. In addition to your usual embroidery supplies like thread, scissors, and a hoop, you’ll also need a second piece of fabric to use as a backing. This backing fabric should be a similar weight and color as your project fabric, so that it doesn’t show through when you’re finished.
Once you have your supplies gathered, you’re ready to start stitching! Begin by embroidering your design onto the front of your project fabric. When you reach the end of a line or area, simply leave a long tail of thread and flip your fabric over to the backside. Using a small stitch, secure the thread tail in place on the back of the fabric.
Continue stitching your design onto the back of the fabric, following the same path you did on the front. When you reach the end of a line or area, flip the fabric back over to the front side and securing the thread tail in place with a small stitch. Continue stitching in this manner until your design is complete.
Once you’ve finished stitching, carefully trim away any excess backing fabric, being careful not to cut your project fabric. Finally, give your project a good press to smooth out any wrinkles and you’re all done!
Double sided embroidery is a beautiful and unique way to add an extra touch of pizazz to your next project! With just a few extra supplies, you can take your embroidery to the next level. So don’t be afraid to give it a try – your project will thank you for it!

Double-sided embroidery is a embroidery technique where the same design is sewn on both the right and wrong side of the fabric. This can be achieved by using two different colored threads, or by flipping the fabric over after sewing the first side. Double-sided embroidery can be used to add a unique dimension to your projects, or to simply save time by not having to embroider a separate design on the back of the fabric.
