Tex's Guide To Stitching
Backstitch
By Esther Dix| Get a piece of material
and a length of thread. Thread a needle onto the thread and tie a knot in it. Bring the needle up through the material. |
 |
| Now bring it back
down at the length of stitch you require. |
 |
| Next, take it back up,
as far from the last stitch as the length of the last stitch. |
 |
| Now bring the needle
back down at the same place the last stitch ended. |
 |
| Then bring it back
up an equal distance away... |
 |
| And down again where the
last stitch ended. |
 |
| Just carry on like that.
Its easy! |
