Threaded Back Stitch

Schematic drawing of a threaded back stitch. Schematic drawing of a threaded back stitch.

The threaded back stitch is a variation of the back stitch. It is made on a foundation of ordinary back stitches worked in a line. This line of stitches is then threaded with a second and/or third thread, which is usually in a different colour to that used for the back stitches.
