  1. running stitch

    A running stitch is one of the simplest and basic forms of hand or machine sewing stitches, where the needle and thread move in and out of the fabric in a straight or curved line, creating a dashed appearance. The individual stitches can be of uniform length or varied but are usually evenly spaced. This stitch is commonly used for hemming, outlining designs, wrapping edges and creating a basting stitch for temporary purposes.
