About the Parallel Running Stitch
The Parallel running stitch is two parallel rows of running stitches, with each stitch from each row lying one below the other. Using these as the base, many variations can be created using a different thread. Scroll down to find the tutorials for the two most popular variations- The Mandering Stitch and The Fairy Lights Stitch.

plz tell which cloth do u use on which u stitch and what is d no. of needle is being used by u?
Dear Sudha,
I use a normal cotton (closely woven) cloth for stitching. I usually use an embroidery needle no.4 or 5. I have also used a blunt needle to do the weavings between the stitches (in the pictures above).
