Whipped Backstitch Video Tutorial
The whipped backstitch is a simple line stitch that can be used for fine or bold lines. This video tutorial will show you just how simple it is...
First, in order to work the whipped backstitch, you have to know how to work the backstitch. The video tutorial for backstitch will help you learn this basic embroidery stitch.
Second, there are LOTS of ways to whip a backstitch - this is the most basic here. You can change the look of this stitch by whipping a different weight or color thread through your backstitchs. You can also whip the backstitch twice, once in one direction (up through the backstitches) and once in the other (down through the stitches). Use your imagination and experiment!
You can see an example of the whipped backstitch used on linen to create delicate lines in the photo of this linen pall.
Here's the video - it's a short one this time!

Thank you soo much for this and the backstitch. I could NOT understand the picture they showed me.
Hi!! Thank you SO much for the video!! I can do so many stitches!! Could you make some more videos of maybe conching or something??
Thanks
On this Whipped Backstitch, do you end this stitch by running the needle underneath the line stitches there without going puncturing fabric, as was shown in other earlier stitch instructions? Thank-you. Love the videos!

Hi, Pam -
You take the thread to the back at the end of your line, and run it under the back of the stitches.
Hope that helps!
