Like many other whipped stitches, a contrasting thread is ‘whipped’ over the satin stitch.

You need to know the satin stitch to be able to do this stitch.

Fig 1: First, lay the foundation by doing satin stitch. Use a contrasting colored thread to ‘whip’ over the satin stitch. Bring the needle out through A and take it diagonally into B. Then, bring out through C which lies vertically below B, and continue the process of whipping.		Fig 2: After finishing the finished pattern would look like this.

Done over a foundation of chain stitch, this stitch gives a whipped appearance and looks best if done with a contrasting colored thread.

Fig 1: Lay a foundation of chain stitch. Use a contrasting thread and bring it out from A. Take the thread through each loop of chain made to give a whipped appearance.

Fig 2: The finished pattern would look  as shown.

 
NOTE:
Do not pluck the fabric below while ‘whipping’ each chain. Use a blunt needle to help you.
