I do wool applique and primitive stitch is what I was told was like a "tacking" stitch which was used in tailoring of clothing. It is just a small stitch to hold the edges down not as visible as a buttonhole stitch.

She shows step by step embroidery techniques, tips, tricks, book reviews, projects, free patterns, and on and on!! Enjoy!! www.needledthread.com
