HOLBEIN
To sew Holbein stitch a row of evenly spaced running stitch
is worked in one direction. The direction of the needle is then reversed and a
second row of stitches is worked to fill the gaps in the first row. It is used
for embroidery geometric patterns, often in combination with cross-stitch, and
is the major stitch used in black-work an embroidery style employing black
thread, on a white ground.

DARNING STITCH
This stitching is to be worked in row of long with tiny
spaces between and is often used as filler with subsequent rows worked in
parallel staggered like brickwork.

LACED RUNNING
STITCH
This stitching can be laced with a contrasting colour to form
a decorative border. Use a pointed needle for lacing and do not pick up any
fabric.
