Embroidery texture stitches

Split back stitch, although typically used to follow lines and curves, can also be used to fill in all sorts of shapes in hand embroidery. This simple and fun technique allows for so much flexibility, provides a unique texture to your finished work, and is one of my very favorite alternatives to satin stitch. In this beginner friendly tutorial, I've provided instruction in written, photo, and video format for how to use split back stitch to fill in all sorts of shapes in hand embroidery.
