Backstitch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (219 words) |
 | Back stitch is a simple embroidery line stitch most commonly used in Cross stitch to outline an area of stitching or to add detail to an embroidered picture but it also has many uses in other types of embroidery and general sewing. |
| Although superficially similar to Holbein stitch, commonly used in Blackwork embroidery, backstitch differs in the way it is worked, requiring a single journey only to complete a line of stitching. |
| Backstitch is most easily worked on an even-weave fabric, where the threads can be counted to ensure regularity, and is generally executed from right to left. |
