Swiss Darning (Duplicate Stitch)

Embroider your way to colourwork success

  • Swiss Darning (Duplicate Stitch) - Step 1

    Step 1

    Thread a tapestry needle with yarn and insert it through the fabric from back to front, bringing it out at the bottom of the 'v' of the required stitch. Insert the needle through the two loops at the base of the stitch above, then take it back through the entry point. This should create the effect of a knitted stitch.
