Get App I sketched a layout to decide what stitches and colors I to use. 1 @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App Draw and cut a dreidel template the same size you want your sampler to be. 2 @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App Trace the dreidel onto your fabric using a disappearing ink embroidery marker. 3 @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App Draw 8 lines to mark where 8 stitches will go (the 9th stitch will be around the border). 4 @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App Insert your fabric into an embroidery hoop and pull taught, without stretching it. 5 @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App First is the running stitch in red. For each stitch in this sampler you can watch my earlier individual Jumpropes for more details. 6 View My Story

Get App Next the fern stitch in orange. This stitch looks a bit like a chicken foot and is great for creating flower stems. 7 View My Story

Get App Stem stitch a row in yellow. Stem stitch is another great one for flower stems and also works well for lettering and details like spirals. 8 View My Story

Get App Next stitch a row of chain stitch in green. Chain stitch adds nice texture and looks like, well... a chain! 9 View My Story

Get App This row is the cross stitch in light blue. Make diagonal stitches in one direction down the whole row, then come back to cross each stitch. 10 View My Story

Get App Next is split stitch in dark blue. For the split stitch you split the previous stitch in half each time you come up from the back of the fabric. 11 View My Story

Get App Blanket stitch in dark purple. I added two guidelines with an embroidery marker to mark the width of the stitch. 12 View My Story

Get App The last row is my favorite embroidery stitch, the French knot! It’s great for adding details or creating texture. 13 View My Story

Get App Split the embroidery floss into 3 strands and use the back stitch to outline the entire dreidel. 14 View My Story

Get App Remove your fabric from the embroidery hoop and trim around the dreidel shape. 15 @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App Pin the dreidel to a piece of blue felt. Include a loop of ribbon at the top so you can hang your sampler. Trim felt about 1/4” around the dreidel. 16 @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App Use the blanket stitch to attach the dreidel to the felt. Stitch all the way around, leaving a one inch opening. Remove pins. 17 @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App Fill with stuffing! You can use cotton balls in a pinch (like I did). Use a pencil to help push stuffing into corners. 18 @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App Continue the blanket stitch to close up the hole. Finish off by weaving floss through the last few stitches in the back, tie a knot and cut off extra. 19 @jessiekatzgreenberg on

Get App Your sampler is ready to hang and decorate for Hanukkah! 20 @jessiekatzgreenberg on
