Backstitched Chain Stitch
The backstitched chain stitch.
The backstitched chain stitch is a composite stitch, which combines a chain stitch with a back stitch. A chain stitch is worked along one line, which is subsequently worked backwards with a back stitch, sometimes in a different colour, thus creating a firm, textured line.
