We have for you a basket of embroidery designs from Africa. Cross stitch and hand embroidery forms an integral feature in all these designs. The particular design next to this post is done using satin stitch. To know more about satin stitch, over to Stitching Techniques From EDG. The important point to remember is that when a pattern is to be filled completely, embroiderers often use the satin stitch. Zumi is a popular and cute figure for African embroidery designs and is generally shown in a warlike position. We also have Zindi who accompanies him occasionally in the embroidery patterns. His jaunts in the Safari with various animals make the set complete. Apart from usage on T-shirts and other apparel, there are the kitchen embroidery design sets which can be used for decorating the ordinary dinner table!
