The most common (though certainly not the only) embroidery stitches used in Temari making are shown here. Many Japanese books have a version of this diagram (the book this was taken from did not have ISBN or copyright information to be found or interpreted - it's not my intention to pirate the author's work.). Within Temari there are only a few stitches used - mostly the herringbone and the straight stitch..... herringbone can be combined to form the Chrysanthemum.... virtually all stitches shown here and used in Temari are applications of these three.
