Embroidery is a craft where you sew or stitch fabric together using thread. There are various types of stitches, such as running stitch, blanket stitch, satin stitch, French knots, etc.
Embroidery has been around since ancient times. The Egyptians used it to decorate their clothes and furniture. In modern days, embroidery is widely used in clothing, home décor, and other crafts.
Embroidery stitches are a type of sewing technique that involves stitching multiple layers of fabric together. They are commonly used to create decorative designs on fabrics.
The most common type of embroidery stitches is the running stitch. It’s also called backstitch because it resembles the backward motion of a person walking backwards. Running stitch can be done with any kind of needle, but there are special needles for this purpose.
Running stitch is one of the easiest stitches to learn. It doesn’t require much practice to master this skill. You just need to know how to hold your needle properly and keep tension while stitching.
There are two ways to do running stitch: straight and zigzag. Straight running stitch is made by holding the needle vertically and moving it forward. Zigzag running stitch is made by pushing the needle down at an angle.
