How to do the Back Stitch

Learn two methods of doing the Back Stitch. Also, how to join circles, make smooth curves, and turn corners. All step-by-step, one at a time! The Back Stitch is made by taking the thread backward than the conventional forward motion. The small stitches done back-and-forth makes the back stitch the strongest stitch! Hence it can be used to sew strong seams by hand, without a sewing machine.
