The
stitch is worked along two parallel lines from left to right. Bring
the needle out on the left end of the line. Make a small stitch
on the upper line pointing left. Keep the thread below the needle
and pull it through the fabric. Insert the needle on the lower line
a little to the right and make a small stitch which points to the
left. Pull the needle through the fabric with the thread above the
needle. This can also be called a little modified cross stitch.
