Reverse Chain Stitch Tutorial

The Reverse Chain Stitch is one of my personal favorites and the stitch I use most often for sweater embroidery and clothing embroidery. It creates beautifully even chains while feeling more forgiving and easier to control than a traditional Chain Stitch — which is exactly why my sweaters look the way they do.

Best For:

• Hand embroidered sweater lettering
• Collars
• Bold lines and outlines
• Clothing embroidery
