Learn Back Stitch Step-by-Step | Beaded, Threaded & Wrapped Back Stitch (Stitch-by-Stitch)

In this video, we continue building our fabric stitch dictionary with back stitch variations, worked step-by-step and stitch-by-stitch. I demonstrate the basic back stitch, beaded back stitch, threaded back stitch, stacked/laced back stitch, trellis stitch, and wrapped (whipped) back stitch using a variety of threads and needles.

This is part of an ongoing slow-stitch series where we practice individual embroidery stitches on fabric pages that will eventually become a stitched reference book. These lessons are beginner-friendly and perfect for doodle cloths, stitch sampling, and creative experimentation.

We’re working from Sharon Boggon’s stitch dictionary ‪@SharonBoggon‬ (both the book and her website at https://pintangle.com/stitch-dictiona..., translating those stitches into a physical, hand-stitched format.

If you’re new, don’t worry about perfection — this series is about learning, repetition, and enjoying the process.
