Split stitch

Split stitch is a variation of stem stitch.

It is also known as Kensington outline stitch.

It is used for outlines and filling where fine flat filling is required. To work this stitch, a soft thread or a stranded is required that can be easily split.




Working is identical to stem stitch only that when the needle emerges from the fabric, it passes through the thread and then pulled.

The effect resembles chain stitch but is finer than that.
