Whipped Satin Stitch
Whipped Satin Stitch is a composite decorative stitch from the Satin Stitch family. It is a fascinating blend of a Satin Stitch and a Whip Stitch. It starts with a shape filled with a Satin Stitch (straight or slanted). Then, it’s adorned with distanced diagonal Whip Stitches, adding a distinct charm to the design.
Whip stitches of the same color will add more depth to the embroidery. Whipping in a contrasting color or with golden/ silver threads will create a more decorative or festive effect.
