Back Stitch with Curves (Diagram 3):
Bring the needle up at A, move to the right over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at C, move to the right over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at A. Bring the needle up at D, move to the right over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at C. Bring the needle up at E, move down and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at D. Bring the needle up at F, move down and to the left over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at E. Bring the needle up at G, move to the left over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at F. Bring the needle up at H, move to the left over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at G. Bring the needle up at I, move to the left over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at H. Continue working the back stitch in this manner until the S-R stitch is complete. Note: Diagram 3 is only one example of the back stitch worked with curves. This stitch may be used to outline or create other types of curved lines.
