About the Straight Stitch Family
The Straight Stitch is the first stitch you need to know before learning any other embroidery stitches or sewing. It is a simple single stitch done by taking the needle in and out of the fabric. There is no looping or crossing of the stitches here, making it pretty easy to learn and do. Many other stitches, including advanced stitches, begin by making a single straight stitch. So, if you are a beginner, this is where you should start. A straight stitch is one that is straight irrespective of its length.
