Chain stitch

Chain stitch is a sewing and embroidery technique. A series of looped stitches form a chain-like pattern. This is a decorative stitch, many beautiful projects have been carried out entirely using chain stitch. Usually, I use single thread to make chain stitches if I thought my desired pattern need a fine decorative outline or pattern. Instead,  I will use double thread to make a "bold-like" pattern.

1. Make a knot at the end of the thread. Insert the needle up through Point A from the back of the fabric and pull the thread through. Insert the needle at Point A again and bring it out through Point B. Don't push the needle out completely. Put the thread under the point of the needle to form a loop.

2.  Now, pull the thread out and tighten the loop. The first chain stitch is completed.

3.  To make the second stitch, insert the needle at Point B (inside the loop) and bring it out at Point C. Do the same as the first stitch, put the thread under the point of the needle, pull the thread out and tighten the loop.

4. A row of chain stitches is completed.
