Long and short stitch

This stitch is practically painting with the needle.

It is a filler stitch that fills the motif, flowers etc with the colored embroidery thread. It is a simple modification of satin stitch where the length of the stitches are at two levels. It is used when the space to be filled is too big to be covered with satin stitch.



It is also used to give a shaded effect. In the first row the stitches are alternately long and short and follow the outline of the shape.

The stitches in the following rows are worked in the same manner but to give a smooth appearance.
