Stem Stitch
With Z twisted Brazilian embroidery threads the stem stitch will have the thread carried above the line rather than below.
The length of each stitch will depend on the thread weight and look you desire. Generally it will be less than ¼" and more than 1/8".
After a short compensating stitch, each stitch will move 2 spaces right and 1 space back.
Outline Stitch
If you hold the thread below the stitching line, the look will be a smooth line like an outline stitch. The stem stitch gives more of a twisted rope like look.
