Embroidery: How to Stitch a Threaded Backstitch or Threaded Running Stitch

Here's an easy way to fancy-up a basic outline stitch. Try it with two colors of thread like I show in the video - it's a fun look!

Happy stitching!

Best,

    You have really good explanations. I really like your suggestion of using a tapestry needle.

      The same way I would finish off any other stitching - it doesn't require any special handling. You can see a video at wendigratz(dot)blogspot(dot)com/2011/08/how-to-tie-off-thread-on-back-of-your(dot)html
