Embroidery Basics: The Straight Stitch
The Straight Stitch is the most basic of all stitches, used both in hand sewing and embroidery. It is considered by many to be the most important stitch to learn and feel comfortable with first. Knowing how to do a straight stitch is a fundamental. A total novice who has never held needle and thread in hand can create a straight stitch - and once you have the spacing down, you can use this single stitch to create a wide variety of effects in your embroidery.
This page also includes printable sheets that help you learn to space the stitches in pro style.
