The stem stitch is the opposite side of back stitch. The only difference is that you are trying to make the back of back stitch straight which is stem stitch. Hold the fabric where you will do stem stitch to face you.
How to do stem stitch:
1. Thread your needle and bring through the fabric 3 or 4 times to make it secure.
2. With the needle and thread facing the opposite direction you are in, do a starting stitch { - } .
3. Bring the needle up through the fabric and back to the start where you threaded your needle.
4. Repeat sequence.
My apologies if these instructions are confusing.
Below is the stem stitch in green thread. The yellow stitch is back stitch.
