Open Chain Stitch - Embroidery Stitch Tutorial

 Hi all 

Hope all are doing well and good.  Today I am going to share the tutorial for doing the Open chain stitch.  This stitch belongs to chain stitch family. 

 Let's move on to the tutorial.

This stitch is done between two parallel lines. It is worked from right to left. I am doing it in 14 ct aida cloth here.  I am working it between 4 holes.  

Bring the needle up at one point at the lower stitch line.  Insert the needle in the upper stitch line and bring it up on the lower line at an angle.  The working thread should be below the needle.   

 

Pull through the thread.  Don't tighten the thread.  

when there is a some amount of thread remain insert the needle in the top line aligning the thread that comes up previously.  

Now tighten the thread by pulling the working thread.

Angle the thread again at the base line with the working thread below the needle.  

Pull thread thread and before tightening the thread insert the needle at the upper line and then tighten the thread as we do before. 

Continue the same steps along the stitch lines.  When you reach the last stitch leave some thread.

Insert the needle in the upper line and tighten the thread.  

To finish off, Remove the needle and insert it outside the lower stitch line 

Pull through the thread and bring the needle again in the upper line inside the last chain.  Hold the last chain with the left hand so that it does not get tighten.  Pull through the thread.

Insert the needle outside the last chain in the upper stitch line and anchor it.

A line of open chain stitch is formed.  

Hope you find this tutorial helpful.    In my next post I will show an embroidery design.  Till then, happy embroidering and have a nice day.
