Stitches for Sampler:
Running Stitch: The thread runs through the fabric without doubling on itself.
Basting: stitches are about ¼” apartTiny: stitches are about ⅛” apart
Back Stitch:The stitch is formed by doubling back on itself. The needle emerges ahead of the stitch just made, and goes back to where the previous stitch ended.
Whip Stitch: This stitch goes “over and over” the edge of the fabric. It is used to sew two pieces of fabric together.
