Running stitches would appear to be the simplest of all the stitch types to work, and in many ways, they are ... This is why the running stitch and its variants are frequently worked on fabrics that have an even weave, with every stitch length covering a predetermined number of fabric threads. Unlike the majority of embroidery stitches, almost all the running stitches can be worked by picking up several stitches on the needle before pulling the needle and thread through. 1, record 1, English, - running%20stitch

Les points glissés (appelés aussi points devant) sont particulièrement simples à exécuter [...] C'est pour cette raison que le point devant et ses variantes sont fréquemment travaillés sur des tissus à armure toile à contexture carrée qui permettent d'établir à l'avance le nombre de fils que comportera chaque point et d'obtenir ainsi une grande régularité. 3, record 1, French, - point%20avant
