This is probably, the first stitch you need to know before learning any other embroidery stitches. It is a simple single stitch done by taking the needle in and then out of the fabric. Most stitches begin by making a single straight stitch. Apart from that, many straight stitches can be combined in various ways to come up with various patterns.
A series of detached straight stitches form the running stitch. So, I have mentioned and shown the running stitch family as a member of the straight stitch family.

Hi Sarah,
I’m working on a project that uses only straight and running stitches (I’m a beginning stitcher.) Somewhere I came across this image — I recognize your stitching, but I can’t find it on your site!
Specifically, can you tell me if the top and bottom lines of stitching are considered to be in the straight stitch family? And if so, if they have particular names, or if they’re just interlaced variations….
Thanks so much!
With much gratitude for your wonderful site,
Janet
Hi again,
Also, could you tell me where I can view the entire image of which the image I sent you is a part? I love these interlaced stitches and would like to see the whole picture –
Thanks again,
Janet
Dear Janet,
This stitching is not mine. Most probably it should belong to an online student of mine, ‘coz she has used even the same colored thread for interlaced running stitch.
You can check these links for the tutorials:

The first and the third stitching belongs to the herringbone family.
My pictures can be found only here, in my website. You can check the picture dictionary to spot any stitch:

Thanks very much for the prompt and helpful reply!
Very best regards,
Janet
