Video Tutorial – Straight Stitches

October 7, 2023 by Shellie Wilson Leave a Comment

The Straight Stitch is the first stitch you should master before moving on to other embroidery or sewing techniques.

The Straight Stitch is the most fundamental of all stitches. The ability to bring the needle in and out of the cloth is possibly the most important requirement for learning how to stitch.

Straight stitches may be used to achieve a number of effects.
Bring the needle out of the cloth at point A and insert it into point B. This will result in a single straight stitch.
