Finding the perfect stitch for a small space can be challenging. I love them though and several of my projects reflect this. The best sources for small stitch ideas are the four small stitch samplers and the two hearts samplers (available here).
Today I have an index of the stitches in thefour small stitch samplers. They are sorted by stitch family. After the name of the stitch is the project where you will find it. The first part of the small stitch index ran yesterday.
Please note that a few of these classifications are different than the families indicated in the samplers.
If you would like a PDF copy of the index to print out, please contact me.
