In cross stitching, what is a filet stitch?
I have a pattern for cross stitching that calls for a filet cross stitch. I have been cross stitching for more than 15 years, and I have never heard of this stitch for cross stitching. Anyone know what this is???
Filet *lace* involves embroidery over a net foundation.
Most of the modern cross-stitching patterns are designed for color work over a flat cotton or linen fabric. However, you may have an older pattern that involves openwork or something similar wherein you would create a "net" foundation by stitching a grid, then stitching a pattern over it. Some of the "chicken scratch" patterns of 30 years ago that were done with gingham fabric to achieve a lacy look also used stitches that had an "open" base--say, a motif created with "spokes" going out from a center point--and stitched over not the fabric but the threads.
Can you share more information about the pattern?
