Whipped Running Stitch Step-by-Step Tutorial
1. To create the whipped running stitch you must first know how to stitch the running stitch. Start by stitching a line of running stitches.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. To complete the stitch, insert the needle into the end of the last running stitch.
