This variety gives a twisted effect. The closer the foundation of running stitch is done, the more enhanced would be the twisted effect.

Fig 1: Lay the foundation by doing a running stitch. Bring out through near the first stitch. Now, pass the needle under each stitch from the top. |

| Fig 2: Continue this pattern to finish the design as shown. | ||
NOTE:
Make sure that while taking the needle and thread under each running stitch, you do not pluck the fabric underneath.
If you happen to take the thread between each running stitch from the bottom of the stitch, then maintian it by taking from the bottom only. The trick is to give it a twisted effect.

Dear Sarah,
I love your site. The photos are so clear and easy to follow. I have a question that you might be able to help me with. I am piecing a quilt for a graduation gift and would like to hand embroider the recipients name and the date on the back of the quilt, I want the letters to be less than an inch each. What stitch would you recommend that I use?
Thanks,
Nancy
Dear Nancy,
Sorry for being late to respond. We were busy with our newly born daughter and other related chores. If it still would help you, I would like to suggest that you use some simple stitch like the back stitch to embroidery the recipient’s name. You can also try satin stitch or a variation of the chain stitch, again depending on how long the name is and how prominent you want it to be.
Amazing tutorial!! I’ve been searching for this exact thing. Thank you so much for taking the time to make it.
