Double Threaded running stitch is a variation of the running stitch. This is pretty similar to the threaded herringbone stitch that we did yesterday. It is also known as interlaced Running stitch.

What you will need?

  • Any fabric.
  • Embroidery hoop, 15cm (6″) (Bigger if you are working on a larger design)
  • Tapestry needle

How many strands of floss do you need for making the double threaded running stitch?

You can use all 6 strands of the floss. But if you are working on a finer design, then start with 2 strands of floss and increase the number of strands according to your design.
