Embroidery: Chain stitch

Ideal for decorating!

The chain stitch is ideal for embroidering decorative lines, outlines, and flowers. It forms a row of small, very decorative 'chains.'

Bring the needle out on the right side, poke it back in close to the same point, and bring the needle out a little further ahead, trapping the thread with the needle underneath. Repeat this gesture to form each link.

It's a very eye-catching stitch, perfect for adding texture and volume to your embroidery. You'll love practicing it!
