In everyday language, a
stitch in the context of
embroidery or hand-
sewing is defined as the movement of the embroidery
needle from the backside of the
fabric to the front side and back to the back side. The thread stroke on the front side produced by this is also called
stitch. In the context of embroidery, an
embroidery stitch means one or more
stitches that are always executed in the same way, forming a figure. Embroidery stitches are also called
stitches for short.
