With embroidery, there are many stitches to lean but this is more of a technique or even a styling.  I love the woven look and it is a great stitch to add to any embroiderer’s tool box.

Thank you comfortstitching for providing the step by step way to complete this fill.  There are photos to go with every step and it really helped me figure it all out..
