Backstitch is a stitch used in both embroidery and sewing. The stitches are sewn in the opposite direction to the direction of the sewing, thus forming lines, and are generally used as an outline of the figures or to add details to an embroidered image. It is a particularly suitable stitch for creating fine lines and details, as well as forming the basis for various stitch combinations.

Step 3. Thread the needle on the knot, then returning again upwards, about 6 millimeters to the left of the position of the previous point
Step 4. Pull the thread tight so that the knot rests softly against the fabric
Step 5. Thread the needle into the fabric on the left end of the previous stitch
Step 6. Proceed with the needle, under the fabric, to the left and again through the fabric about 6 millimeters to the left of the last stitch
