Basic Embroidery Stitches : Back Stitch in Redwork Embroidery


Back Stitch 

Back stitch is a strong stitch used especially to outline in needlework embroidery and cross stitch projects or on seams in sewing. A variant of back stitch, the holbein stitch is used in Blackwork Embroidery. It is also used in embroidery for stems, lettering and outlining geometric and organic shapes

I love Redwork Embroidery. The mere appearance of it makes me happy .
I have used back stitch throughout this redwork embroidery. This lovely pattern is from a book.
