Sometimes you will hear about the stabbing method or the method of sewing while doing embroidery sewing. Many tutorials on spruce stitches show or describe these different methods for the same stitch. Which one might leave you wondering what the difference is and which one is better than the other?
Some embroidery sewing works using only one method or the other. For example, a French knot is mainly used in the stabbing method. This is what you learn, and it will work.
However you can do a lot of embroidery sewing in both methods. The advantage of this is that you can find a stitching style that works for you and the embroidery you are working on.

The Stabbing Method
When using the stabbing method, you begin to bring the needle up through the fabric. After that, you take the needle down through the fabric. And back up, and more.
With each stitch, or each part of the stitch, the needle goes through the fabric. When you are doing this, your hands are constantly moving back and forth.
Working with the stabbing method can give you a higher level of sewing accuracy. You can take a vacation with the help of fabric wherever you want to go. This can be especially helpful when keeping the length of the stitches consistent.
One downside is that the stabbing method is often a bit slower than the sewing method. Moving your dominant hand and pulling all the needles and threads at each step adds time to your sewing.
The Sewing Method
When working on the sewing method, you also start by bringing the needle up through the fabric. After that, however, the needle stays above the surface of the fabric and sinks to the bottom and returns to a stitch or sewing section.
This method is similar to sewing with hand quilting or small running stitches, so that you can load several stitches on the needle at once.
Dipping the thread up and down is easier than if you are working without an embroiderer curling or putting some pressure on the fabric.
Since you are keeping your embroidery hand on the front of your embroidery, as well as working two sewing steps at the same time, this method can speed up your sewing. If you create a rhythm as you work, it will be faster.
Sometimes, however, when using this method it is hard to imagine where the exit point should be for sewing, which means you have to pick up the stitches and repeat them.

Whether One Method Is Better
Which of these methods should you use? And should you choose the one you like and always use that method?
None of these options are better than the other because in the end it is a matter of taste and it makes you feel most comfortable.
When you are learning a new sewing, try both stabbing and sewing. Do the same if you have trouble sewing or want to increase your accuracy or speed.
When you use two methods with two stitches you will find that you enjoy working with some stitches with a knife. You may also find that it is easier to work from right to left in one way, and better from left to right.
There are no rules here, so check and take what works!
