Filet Cross stitch
I have stitched over 2o years and never heard of this stitch. I am starting
a new project. An Eagle scout for my son.Most of it are filet stitches. Nothing says what it is. Something I probably know but by another name maybe. Thanks Donna |

Thanks Donna Here's a photo of a chart of "filet cross stitch" http://www.ecrater.com/p/1935876/cou...-cross-stitch# The explanation says, "1983 Vanessa-Ann Collection booklet containing cross stitch charts for a variety of filet cross stitch projects. Filet cross stitch is a modern interpretation of filet brode' in that when the project is complete, the background resembles a delicate net. This is accomplished by stitching the background with only one strand of floss, and the design area with enough strands to cover the fabric." Another photo: http://auctions.findtarget.com/detai...s_stitch_kits/ This one looks almost like you create a canvas with grid threads, cross stitch over it, then withdraw original fabric threads. Almost like using waste canvas? Is that the idea? HTH, Sue -- Susan Hartman |

Filet Cross stitch
I looked at that but never found actual instructions. I really have to rush
this and put 2 pictures in one. The is the anniversary of scouting and the emblem doesn't match the one in the book I bought so I am putting them together. I thought I had more time to work on this but it looks like things are falling in to place fast. Thanks Donna "Susan Hartman" wrote in message ...

I'd never heard of it, either. Joan |

Filet Cross stitch
Filet lace patterns are adaptable to cross stitch. I've done them.
Makes beautiful patterning. Dianne On 7/13/2010 12:03 PM, Joan E. wrote: On Jul 12, 6:28 pm, "Donna wrote: I have stitched over 2o years and never heard of this stitch. I am starting a new project.

Something I probably know but by another name maybe. Thanks Donna A filet stitch is a cross stitch using a single strand. I contacted the publisher who put me in touch with the creator. I have completed two Eagle Scout badges for my sons and now have to complete one for my grandson. I still have one grandson to go who just made tenderfoot -- |

Where it says to use a filet stitch I'm just using a half cross stitch with gives the background a more subtle red than what's on the main design. Congratulations on your son's achievement. Mine is for a grandson. |

I, too, are stitching a project for my Eagle Scout Grandson. I was worried about the red border and now I know it won't be nearly as predominant using only one strand of floss. |
