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!
