CHAINED STITCHES


CHAIN STITCH:--Work the stitches towards you starting from the top of the lines. Insert the needle at the point from where it is brought out holding the thread down with y our thumb. Bring the needle point out a short distance ahead(front) and pull it through keeping the work thread under the needle the result is a loop. In starting the next stitch remember to insert the needle just inside the loop. This is used for making out--lines and filling large shapes.
