- Used for
- Filling shapes with rows of running stitch that read as a woven pattern; pattern darning on evenweave.
- How it works
- Rows of running stitch worked close together with the stitches offset from row to row, like brickwork, so the surface looks woven. On evenweave the stitch lengths are counted for a regular pattern.
