Running Stitch

Look at this fascinating picture of Kantha embroidery. The simple running stitch is the basis of this eye-catching Kantha embroidery.

Here is a short video demonstrating the running stitch.

1. Thread a needle with 2 strands of Anchor stranded cotton thread.
2. Tie a knot at the other end of the thread.

Note: As you do the embroidery, the thread becomes shorter. When about 3 inches of the thread is left in the needle, push the needle to the back side of the cloth and tie a knot. Take another length of 2 strands of thread and start stitching from the point you left earlier.

Try this!!

I'll be glad to know how friendly the demo is. Do let me know!
