the word stitched on top of a piece of fabric with pink and green thread

Top tip - keeping your stitches on the smaller side will help with getting the tight curves of letters a little bit neater. Click on the name of each stitch to see a video tutorialBack Stitch The back stitch is probably one of the easiest stitches to get the hang of. It's mostly used for stitching lines or outlining shapes. And it's ideal for stitching text! Variations: whip your back stitch with a contrasting colour for a twisted effect.
