Running Stitch

  • Thread a needle, then make a knot in one end. Push your needle up through the paper and pull the thread through.

 

  • Push the needle down through the paper, a small way away. Then, pull the needle through from the back.

 

  • Push the needle up again a little way from your first stitch, then push it down again. Pulling the thread tight.

 

  • Carry on pushing the needle upwards and downwards in the same way, so that you make a line of stitches.

 

  • To finish off, stitch through the last stitch you made and pull the thread tight. Then stitch through it again.

 

  • Push your needle through these stitches again, two more times. Then, cut the thread a little way away from the knot.
