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 |

Filet Cross stitch
Thanks
But I couldn't really find instructions so I think I might do half stitches or regular stitches. It said it was supposed to look like a fine net. I don't see why that is necessary Donna wrote in message ... On Mon, 12 Jul 2010 19:28:01 -0400, "Donna D." wrote: I have stitched over 2o years and never heard of this stitch.

Thanks Donna I decided to google and think this explains it, you could either do the pattern in filet crochet, or cross stitch. http://crochet.about.com/library/blfreecharts.htm |

Filet Cross stitch
Is it possible that you create a net then weave it like fillet lace? I
did two pieces from classes at the old CATS (Stitching Festival0 by Marilyn of Stoney Creek in what she called "Lacis." First the fabric was in a hoop because tension is vital. Then I back-stitched a VERY tight line on the outside of the design area. Then (I think) every two threads were cut and removed (cut-cut-leave-leave-cut-cut-etc.). Then I anchored a waste know about two inches outside the area, then wrapped a thread around each horizontal set of threads to make each set of two threads look like one thick thread, Then the vertical threads were done, but that incorporated the lace design. Basically the technique was the same for fillet lace except you make the net. The starting and ending threads were anchored by a design cross- stitched close to the lacis area. |

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 |

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

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 ...

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.
