A quick demonstration of how to do satin stitch.  Satin stitch gives a smooth finish and is a good way to fill in blocks of colour.  If you want a finer effect, or you are filling in a smaller space, then use 2 strands of embroidery floss in your needle.  If you want a bolder, more textured appearance you can use 3 or even all 6 strands in your needle.  I have used 3 strands to ensure the thread is visible on camera but it is more usual to use 2 threads for monograms.
