Hi there Britta!
Sometimes the simplest techniques turn out to be the most useful, and the running stitch is a perfect example.
It's a series of evenly spaced stitches forming a straight dashed line, but don't let that simplicity fool you. This little stitch comes in handy for outlining designs, backing your hoop, and even joining fabric layers together.
It's such a lovely place to start if you're newer to embroidery, since the rhythm is easy to pick up and pretty forgiving as you go.
And once you've got the basics down, you can play around with your stitch and space lengths for some fun variations.
We've put together a full guide to walk you through this technique step by step, so you can start stitching your own confident, even lines.
Give it a go and see what you can create!
