an old stitch, not too often used today, that makes a pretty background surface. It covers canvas well and is good for general use. It gives a tweedy, ribbed texture on the front and makes an even, regular stitch on the back. Similar to Long-Armed Cross stitch and Long-Legged Cross stitch, this too is worked from the left in rows over 2 horizontal threads.
