Two Color Embroidery Tutorial: Threaded Herringbone

This loopy cursive-like stitch is both quick and simple. It would be an elegant trim on a set of napkins.

Start by doing a staggered vertical running stitch with the first thread color. Then introduce the second color at the bottom
right of the first line of stitching.

Zig zag across the first running stitches looping them with the second color, as shown above, all the way up the row.
