Learn how to embroider Back Stitch

In the video tutorial of back stitch below I show you how to embroider this essential hand embroidery stitch. The backstitch is made backward to the general direction of sewing. In hand embroidery, this stitch forms the lines and is most often used to outline shapes and to add fine detail to an embroidered picture. You can also use it to embroider lettering. This stitch can be worked both straight and curved. You can make even the smallest and most detailed curves by adjusting the lengths of the stitch.
