In this video, I'll show you how to needlepoint using the continental stitch. This is my absolute favorite stitch and because of that I've come up with a trick that helps me stitch it much faster. This video will show you my secret.

When to use it:
This stitch is perfect for soft goods or small to medium areas that won't see a ton of wear and tear. It is a medium coverage stitch. I use it on every single canvas I stitch, along with the other tent stitches (half-cross and basketweave).
