Backstitch, stem stitch, running stitch, French knots and lazy daisy are about all I can manage well.

I spent two hours yesterday in search of this very thing. I couldn't find any Aunt Martha's that I wanted or pre-printed blocks. Herrschners has a good selection, but the blocks are printed on poly-cotton. Is it worth doing all that embroidery on fabric that is not 100% cotton? I'll check out the two sites that were just mentioned here.

I am pleased to learn that there are still Aunt Martha embroidery patterns. Now that brings back pleasant memories. Maybe I should do some more...

ALC's are embroidered, but just in one color. Very nice otherwise.
