The Viking and Anglo-Saxon Stitches
- Running Stitch (varient: Stab Stitch, one stitch at a time)
- *Hem or Hemming Stitch ** [spiral shape]
- *Whip Stitch (varients: Oversewing and Overcast Stitches) [spiral shape]
- Blanket Stitch **&***
(varient: Buttonhole Stitch)
- Herringbone Stitch**
* Various sources have them marked down as different categories so sometimes they say 4 stitches others say 5 stitches.
The Whip Stitch and the Hem/Hemming Stitch are very similar stitches.
The Whip Stitch is at the edge of the fabric (like the Blanket Stitch) and helps to prevent fraying or unraveling.
The
Hem/Hemming Stitch goes through 2 or more layers of fabric.
Additional SCA Period Stitches
- Split Stitch *** (great solid lines, but also a thin and delicate looking outline; used for filling in areas, you can do ALL of your embroidery with this single stitch)
- Chain Stitch *** (great for thickly outlining designs)
Also depending on time period/region:
- Back Stitch
- Stem Stitch***
- Satin Stitch***
(to fill in areas)
- Couching***
- Bayeau Stitch***
