Any line in an embroidery pattern can be stitched with any outline stitch. I usually recommend backstitch for beginners, but beyond that you can choose anything you like.

There are thousands of available embroidery stitches – these are just the ones I use in my own work, and that I recommend in my patterns.

Here are all my lessons for outline embroidery stitches.

• running stitch
• back stitch
• split stitch
• stem stitch
• chain stitch
• threaded stitches
• whipped stitches
• backstitched chain stitch
• couching
• couching with satin stitch
