I ❤ embroidery . . . Tutorial~ Whipped back stitch creates a slightly raised line which is simple, quick & easy to work. Work a foundation row of back stitches. Make each stitch slightly longer & looser than usual. Next whip the row. You do this by bringing the needle up from the foundation fabric, take the thread over the top & pass the needle under the first back stitch. Do not pick up any of the fabric as you whip.
