The closed herringbone stitch is an embroidery technique that is worked from left to right along an imaginary double line. It is worked in exactly the same manner as the herringbone stitch, except that the crossed points of the stitches touch each other at the top and the bottom of the imaginary lines.

The herringbone stitch is an embroidery technique that is worked from left to right along an imaginary double line. The thread is brought out at the bottom left hand corner and inserted a little to the right on the upper line and then brought out to the left. The needle returns to the lower line again and is brought out to the left. The stitch is then repeated.

The isolated back stitch is a form of back stitch, in which a significant gap is left between each stitch. Back stitches are normally worked from right to left. The needle is brought out a short distance from the beginning of the line to be covered. It is then inserted again at the beginning of the line, thus taking a step backwards. The needle then emerges at some distance beyond the point where it first started.
