Outline stitch is exactly what it says it is, a stitch used to create a neat outline for a filled area of embroidery.
When learning how to outline stitch you will discover that you can use a thread that is a contrasting color to the filled area, so that it stands out, or use the same color just to neaten the area.
You may vary the thickness of the thread to have the outline stand out, or use the same guage to have the outline blend in.
