Embroidery Stitch Video Tutorial: The Running Stitch & Finishing Threads
Basic hand-embroidery stitches are relatively easy to learn. To help you learn, I'm putting together a video library of stitches. The first tutorial is the most basic line stitch, the running stitch, followed by how to end your threads in hand embroidery.
To see a written explanation of the running stitch for hand-embroidery, you can look in the Basic Embroidery Stitches index, under Line Stitches.
You can use the running stitch many ways. You can also vary the look of the stitch by varying the length of the stitches vs. the length of the spaces between the stitches.
Here's the video:
More video tutorials will be added along the way, so check the Video Stitch Library index often.

My mother would absolutely love these videos, however we have dial up which makes viewing them difficult. Do you have them on DVD that we could purchase? Thanks. ho_str@yahoo.com

Thanks for this wonderful website But unfortunately I am not able to see the video since I don't get anything on the screem on clicking the control. Which software is needed for this to be viewed? Please help!!
Hi,
You might want to check out the Google Video Support page that addresses this issue. It's probably a matter of not having Adobe Flash installed or java enabled. They'll take you through it step by step.
I hope it works for you!
