How do you create outline stitch?

If you are sewing by machine or by hand, just thread the needle and sew in a straight line in a darker colour than the material. If you like, draw a straight line in pencil and follow the line. That will be the outline stitch for your design whatever it is. If you sew simple straight threads you will get a result and if you make the threads longer, you will be able to cut them out easily and get rid of them. If you aren't talking about sewing, I can't help you. Sorry.
