| Fig 3: Continue this process of taking the needle under each back stitch foundation to give it a twining effect. | ||
NOTE:
Make sure that while taking the needle and thread under each running stitch, you do not pluck the fabric underneath. You can use a blunt needle to acheive this.
Make sure to leave the back stitch just a bit loose in order to allow the other thread to pass through it easily.

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