How to do the Running Stitch
The Running Stitch is done by running the needle and thread up and down the cloth at a regular distance. Keep the stitch consistent to make your work look beautiful.

| The length of the stitch on the front side can vary from that on the underside. Usually, there is more thread shown on the front than the underside in a running stitch. Yet, to get the beauty of the stitch, I would suggest keeping the length of the stitches as identical as possible. |
