TYPES OF STICHES
. 1. Running stitch: A running stitch, also known as a basting stitch, is a long,

straight stitch. This stitch is generally used as a basting stitch, which means it
will temporarily hold two pieces of fabric together and can be easily taken out
later.
.
. 2. Backstitch: Backstitch is a basic hand embroidery stitch that creates a line
of stitches without a break between them, so it looks like a continuous straight
line of thread.
.
. 3. Cross stitch: Cross stitch is a type of decorative stitch comprised of two
straight stitches crossing at the center to form an ex. It is generally stitched on
a special fabric, which has a grid of tiny holes to guide the cross-stitch
pattern, and the stitching forms a series of exes to make a pattern.
.
. 4. Blanket stitch: The blanket stitch is a decorative seam-finishing technique
that is meant to be visible. This stitch is generally used in hand embroidery or
to finish the edges of quilts or pillows.
.
. 5. Slip stitch: The slip stitch creates a mostly invisible seam and is a great
stitch for hemming. Use a thread color similar to that of the item and the seam
will blend into the fabric.
.
. 6. Catch stitch: Catch stitch takes on a zig-zag pattern, and it’s invisible on
the right side of the fabric, making it great for a blind hem. The catch stitch is
a great flat stitch technique for seaming two pieces of fabric with a slight
overlap.
.
. 7. Whipstitch: Whipstitch is a simple seaming technique that is comprised of
a line of short diagonal stitches that are invisible on the right side of the fabric.
. 8. Chain stitch: A chain stitch is a type of embroidery stitch that forms a
looped chain on the surface of the fabric. Here’s how to do a chainstitch.
