In my opinion, this is the easiest double running stitch, also known as Holbein stitch or blackwork embroidery: a straight line! Blackwork embroidery was a popular form embroidery on clothing in 16th century.
Hans Holbein the Younger was a European painter, just like his older brother Ambrosius and his father, Hans the Elder. If you hear the term 'Holbein stitch', it is in reference to Hans the Younger. From his friendship with Erasmus, he had a letter of introduction and found himself in England to eventually become a court painter in the court of King Henry VIII of England. Compared to other artists at the time, Holbein painted numerous portraits with blackwork embroidery in them.
