Running stitch embroidery tutorial – with video lesson

running stitch tutorial

Let’s start this new embroidery stitch tutorial series with the most basic one: the running stitch. There will be more complex stitches later this month. I wanted to include all the basic stitches in the first couple of months so that they are available first.

Also, the running stitch might not be the most elaborate stitch but for many, it is the first stitch they ever learned!

The movement of the needle is sometimes hard to get across with a sketch or photograph. Video is a great way for learning embroidery stitches. On my Youtube channel, you can find many more embroidery tutorials. Every Sunday, I publish a brand new embroidery stitch tutorial.

More embroidery stitches…

If you want to see more embroidery stitch tutorials, you might like the embroidery stitch lexicon. You’ll find all 206 photo tutorials there. In addition, it also includes the stitch glossary where you can look for a specific stitch name with their translations and all of the brand new video tutorial posts!

If you are new to embroidery, I highly recommend the 7 days of stitches articles. It is a blog series where you can learn step by step and with a lot of explanations of how to do the most basic embroidery stitches.

Also, the beginner’s guide to embroidery helps you with all the other stuff like:

  • which materials and tools you need
  • how to attach the thread to the fabric before and after stitching
  • what to do after stitching
