Double
Running Stitch
Double-running stitch is an embroidery stitch that starts as a running stitch
which doubles back on itself. This results in a reversible pattern, producing
the same finish on the back as the finish on the front. Made from two passes of
the thread, this stitch gives a neat back and is therefore used for Blackwork.
The double-running stitch employed in Blackwork is often called Holbein stitch.
It is a very versatile stitch as well and works well to make strong
seams in garments. It creates a reversible design. Double running
stitch can also be run in two colors giving an interesting effect.
