Stitches for borders
Stitches for borders in hand embroidery create an embroidered pattern that runs lengthwise along the edge of the fabric or a garment. Usually, we use stitches for borders to decorate clothes and tableware. However, it is common to use border designs in quilting too.
Stitches for borders can be as minimal and straightforward as a line of running stitches or a backstitch. But also, there are very complex and decorative border designs. Usually, we make them by combining stitches for borders with decorative stitches.
You can use many of the stitches in this list both for outlines and for borders. For this reason, some of the stitches are mentioned in both lists.
