Satin Stitch French Plumetis - is one of those chiefly used in white embroidery, and consists in taking the needle each time back again almost to the spot from which it started, so that the same amount of crewel or silk remains on the back of the work as on the front. This produces a surface as smooth as satin: hence its name. It is chiefly used in working the petals of small flowers, such as Forget-me-nots, and in arabesque designs where a raised effect is wanted in small masses.
