Back stitch and whipped back-stitch

.

1. Make a foundation row of back stitches

.

.

2. Wrap each stitch once (or several times) with silk ribbon or thread.

.

.

Here is an example of where I used whipped-backstitch to form the words: Friends Forever with 2mm silk ribbon...

.

3. To form larger letters, make two rows of back stitches and whip both rows at the same time.

.

.

Have a look here for more about making words and sentences in silk ribbon embroidery.

Enjoy!

Love
