This variety of stitch gives a wavy effect to the pattern and follows the same stitching pattern as the Laced running stitch.
 |
||
| Back stitch: Lay the foundation by doing a back stitch | ||
 |
 |
|
| Fig 1: Take another thread and needle and bring it out through A. Pass the needle under the stitch A-B, from above, as shown. Do not pluck the fabric underneath. | Fig 2: Now, pass the needle under the stitch B-C, from below, as shown. Again, do this without plucking the fabric underneath. | |
 |
Fig 3: Continue this process of taking the needle under each back stitch from above and below alternately. | |
 |
||
| Fig 4: The completed pattern would show up like this. | ||
NOTE:
Make sure that while taking the needle and thread under each running stitch, you do not pluck the fabric underneath. You can use a blunt needle to acheive this.
Make sure to leave the back stitch just a bit loose in order to allow the other thread to pass through it easily.

Thanks! I was having the hardest time trying to understand the difference between a whipped back stitch and a threaded back stitch until I found your website. Your instructions are clear and beautiful.
Hey Anne, it is good to know that my tutorial helped you. I have made my best to make them as simple as possible, coz it is easy to confuse oneself with many kinds of sititches that look closely related to each other.
Beautiful, Would make great monograms for Christmas, on napkins or tablecloths
Happy stitching Jackie.

Dear Sima,
It looks like a closely done buttonhole wheel stitch. The stitch has been done for a semi circle, rather than the complete circle.
no . not buttonholw wheel stitch. i have asked the designer of that stitch. it is cast on stitch
Hello Sima,
Thanks for clarifying. Looked closely like buttonhole wheel.
