Fig 1: Take another thread and needle and bring it out through A. Pass the needle under the stitch A-B, from above, as shown. Do not pluck the fabric underneath. Fig 2: Similarly, pass the needle under the stitch B-C, from above, as shown.
Fig 3: Continue taking the needle under each Back Stitch foundation to give it a twining effect.

    I’m trying this stitch on a piece for a friend & tried it on a practice cloth first & couldn’t get it right at first.
