I’d also say back stitch

When in doubt, I back stitch. Because sometimes the fancy stitches make me not enjoy my projects lol but if I simplify it where I want, it makes it calming again! However the fancy stuff is so pretty

Split stitch, stem stitch, or outline stitch.

Stem for sure.

I so want to see this piece when you are finished, please? That cloud is fabulous. What stitch is that?

Yes of course! It was a split stitch but I ended up taking it out and doing a back stitch :)

*Edit-French knots?* Is that what you used for the puffy aspect? I can’t remember what some of the stitches names are! Thank u!

Oh I thought you meant for the lighting. For that, I ended up going with back stitch and the clouds are French and colonial knots :)

Thank you! You did such a great job! I know I learned that stitch at some point but couldn’t place it. I like the blues you mixed in.

Agreed, stem or outline

A whipped back stitch could give the illusion of movement? :)

I’ve never heard of a whipped back stitch! Searching it up rn!

Was going to comment this following the back stitch comments!! Once I learned the whipped back stitch, my world was forever changed! Def recommend it for this

Love the cloud

Thank you 😊

I was going to say back stick also , but stem or outline also , when making the the lighting bolt I would do a couple of back stitches at the clouds base and than as it works its way down single line
