Chain stitch 

To make a row of chain stitches, bring needle up from the back, and insert where the thread first came out. Exit a short distance away and this will determine the size of the stitch. The thread is under the needle each time. Pull to form a chain. Keep inserting the needle inside each chain as shown. To end off, insert the needle to the back just on the outside of the chain.
