Tips to Remember
- To begin a Pic or Prick Stitch, begin by bringing needle through all thicknesses to the upper side.
- Take a stitch back only one or two threads, forming a tiny surface stitch.
- Bring the needle out again a scant ¼" (6mm) in front of the stitch. Continue these steps to form tiny surface stitches on your garment.
