1. RUNNING STITCH
One of the most basic stitches, and is usually the first stitch learned by the
beginner embroidery or sewing enthusiast. This stitch can be worked in
straight or curved lines, or for assembly when finishing an embroidery project.
2. BACK STITCH
This stitch most often used to outline a design. This stitch also forms the base
line for other embroidery stitches.
3. CROSS STITCH
Stitch formed by two-crossing arms and may be used for outlining, as borders
or to fill an entire area.
5. CHEVRON STITCH
It is a wider form of backstitch ideal for decorative borders and bands.
6. FLY STITCH
A single stitch with a loop that is similar to that of the feather stitch. This stitch
can be used for borders or to fill in a design area. This stitch can be worked
singly or in vertical or horizontal rows.
7. FEATHER STITCH
A stitch with a loop and stitches and stitches evenly worked on both left and
right sides of a design area.
8. FRENCH KNOT
A single detached stitch used primarily to fill in a design area. It is popular
stitch among embroiderers because it can be used to create the eyes on an
embroidered face or the center of the flower.
9. HOLBEIN STITCH
It is also called double running stitch often used to outline blackwork
embroidery. This stitch was first known as the “Italian Stitch”. It became known
as the “Holbein Stitch” after Hans Holbein the Younger, a 16th-century portrait
painter best known for his paintings of Henry VIII and his children, almost all of
whom are depicted wearing clothing decorated with blackwork embroidery.
