Step 5Backstitch.

Backstitch.
I use this stitch all the time for text. It makes the text easier to read and it's more uniform.

You basically just pull the thread up through the fabric, and make a stitch to the left or right, depending on which way you'll be going. (Left if you'll be going right, right if you'll be going left.) You'll then bring the thread up again a stitch length from the original. You'll then take the thread back down right next to the original stitch.

The pictures will probably help make more sense of this! ;)
