Use Object Properties > Outline > Backstitch to create traditional backstitch borders – old, adaptable stitch type used for delicate outlines.

Backstitch is a traditional, adaptable stitch which can be used as a delicate outline. This small, even stitch follows intricate curves well. Backstitch can be used for blackwork and redwork designs. You can specify the exact stitch length, thickness and overlap values as well as the number of strokes (single or triple).
