Stitches

which is the most popular outline stitch used in hand embroidery?

I am hand embroidering a teddy bear design. Outlining bear in brown. I need to know which is the best outline stitch to use in this design. Bears eyes, mouth, paw pads and accessories I will be using filler stitches.

1. It sounds really cute. People don't take the time to do hand embroidery anymore! I like the stem stitch for outlining. http://www.craftown.com/instruction/embroidery.htm .
