Running Stitch

Step 1:

Begin the running stitch by poking your threaded needle up through the fabric.

Step 2:

Poke the needle back down through the fabric next to where you just came up, and pull the thread down into your first stitch.

Step 3:

Now poke your needle back up through the fabric, leaving a space from the previous stitch. Then poke the needle back down through the fabric again making your second stitch.

Now just continue this and you are on your way! See how easy this stitch is?
