Back stitch

Bring the thread up at A, about 1.5mm (1/16 in) from the beginning of the line. Take the needle back to the start of the line marked B, and then slide the needle towards the point marked C, ensuring your stitches are of equal length. When the project instructions specify whipped back stitch, work a whip stitch over the top of the back stitches.
