10. Running Stitch

image

Running Stitch and Back Stitch were the first stitches I learned at school when I was seven years old. After all these years I realise that this stitch is The King among stitches. You can use it in many different ways. You will find it in traditional techniques, such as Sashiko, Kantha and hand Quilting.

This week I tried Running Stitch as a filling stitch.
