Back stitch is simple yet very useful stitch. This is great for outlining and it gives a steady stitch. Here are simple steps to do this:

a. From a small distance (1) away, about less than half a centimeter, from the starting point (2), push the needle up. Then go back the starting point (2) and push the needle down.
