  • Chain Stitch - Chain stitch is a type of sewing stitch that creates a series of small, interlocking loops that resemble a chain. It is one of the oldest forms of embroidery and is used to create decorative designs on a variety of different fabrics.

    In chain stitch, the needle is passed through the fabric, and then brought back up through the fabric a short distance away. The thread is then looped around the needle, creating a small loop, and the needle is passed back through the loop, pulling it tight against the fabric. This process is then repeated to create a series of interlocking loops, which resemble a chain. The loops can be of different shapes and sizes, allowing for the creation of a wide variety of decorative designs.

    Chain stitch is considered a very versatile and decorative embroidery technique. It can be used to create a wide variety of designs, from simple outlines to more complex and detailed patterns. It's a great technique for surface embroidery, and can be used on a variety of fabrics, including cotton, linen, and silk. It's also very popular in the creation of traditional hand-embroidered textiles, such as shawls, table runners, and wall hangings.
