Fold a piece of fabric and take
the thread out in the middle of the fold.
Take a stitch to the right in the fold,
away from you.
Loop the thread as you see in the
picture.
Take a stitch inside the loop, towards you.
Pull through to make a knot.
Make a new stitch in the same way.
Actually you don't need to shape a loop with your finger,
just insert the needle from left to right.
Pull the thread tight for a 'close to the surface' look,
or give the thread some slack to create a garland of loops.
you can of course take small bites of flat fabric
for a surface stitch.
The technique is the same.

That's a useful edging or linear stitch.
Good tutorial too, thanks for sharing.
I have a few uses for that stitch, thanks for including it.
It's a good edging stitch, with a different look to blanket stitch - can be very useful!
