How to do the Fern Stitch
The Fern Stitch is made of series of three straight stitches. It resembles a fern leaf and so, a good stitch to do vegetal designs. You need to know how to do the Straight Stitch. I will work over three parallel curved stitch lines to bring out the effect.

| Fig 1: Bring the needle out from A and take it in through B, both points which lie over the second stitch line. | Fig 2: Now, Take the needle out through C, a point which lies on the first stitch line. This point lies a little higher than the point B (about 45 degrees). |
 |  |
| Fig 3: Now, take the needle in through the point B. Then, bring the needle out through point D, and take it in through B. This finishes a set of three straight stitches. | Fig 4: Bring out through E and back into B. Follow the illustration to continue. |
