Chain stitch is a type of embroidery stitch that is worked in a continuous line of loops. It is one of the most basic stitches in embroidery and can be used to create a variety of effects, such as outlining, filling in shapes, and creating borders.
Chain stitch can be worked with either a needle or a hook. When working with a needle, the thread is threaded through the eye of the needle and then pulled through the fabric. The needle is then inserted into the fabric again, a short distance away from the first stitch, and the thread is pulled through the fabric again. This process is repeated until the desired length of chain stitch has been worked.
