Here is the first tutorial for Tutorial Tuesdays!

Whipped Back Stitch

Below is the text overlaying in the video for your reference!

First, start back stitching the top line. Then, from one end of the line to the other, run the floss under each stitch, “whipping” it around every individual stitch. Make sure to come from the same direction each time!

Practice this with more complex shapes! It’s the same motion, just make your back stitches a bit smaller to keep the curves smooth.

Pro tip! When whipping your back stitching on a curve, run the needle from the inside of the curve (or inside of the circle).

You can also overlap your whipped back stitches! If you come to an intersection, just tuck your needle under the stitch on top and keep whipping it as you would normally.
