Start by sewing the motif with a running stitch. For the best effect, keep the running stitches small. Working from left to right, pull the thread up from behind at the start point and slip the needle over and under one of the running stitches. Continue to whip the thread over in this way until all the running stitches are covered.

To prevent piercing through either the thread or the fabric, use the eye of the needle to whip the thread over the running stitches.

Working the second thread with a contrasting thread colour creates a wonderful braided effect, which is just perfect for the jam jar lid string in this detail from the Shelf Bunting.
