How to Embroider: Whipped Running Stitch- Video and Step by Step Tutorial

Whipped Running Stitch The whipped running stitch is a variation of the running stitch. This stitch looks like a dashed line with another thread wrapped around it. This stitch can be a fun way to add additional color to line work, used for outlining, plant stems, and more. Use this DIY video and step-by-step tutorial to learn how to embroider the whipped running stitch. Start by stitching a line of running stitches. Using a second thread, bring the needle up in the start of the first running stitch. Slide the needle underneath the running stitch. Do not catch the fabric. Pull the needle through so that the thread is wrapped around the stitch. Working from the same direction, slide the needle underneath the next running stitch in the row. Repeat until the end of the line. To complete the stitch, insert the needle into the end of the last running stitch.
