Detailed Darning Stitch

Darning

1.  Using thread A create a series of long straight stitches side by side.

2.  Bring thread B out at the top and just to the right of the long stitches.

3. Avoiding going through the fabric carefully weave the needle under the first stitch over the next, under every subsequent odd thread and over subsequent even thread etc etc to the last long stitch.

4.Taking thread B from the far left over the last stitch (A) carefully reverse step 3, this time going under the odd threads and over the alternate even threads.
