    French Knots Embroidered Hearts Pincushion

    Updated: May 24, 2019 by Melissa Mortenson · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · 3 Comments

    Today Heather from the Sewing Loft is joining us to share a free tutorial for a French Knot Embroidered Pin Cushion.  

    French Knots Embroidered Pin Cushion Tutorial by the Sewing Loft

    I adore pin cushions. I don’t think I have enough of them and I don’t think that I make enough of them either. They are the perfect quick sewing project and there are so many fun variations that you can make.

    Heather from the Sewing Loft made this version for our Summer Sewing Series that is decorated with a heart made of french knots. If you’ve not embroidered a french knot before, don’t worry. They are pretty simple once you know the trick.

    Hop on over to her site to get the FULL TUTORIAL.
