Work a long vertical stitch from 1 to 2 over four threads tying it down with a small horizontal stitch over one thread at 3 as shown. Work a second vertical stitch, this time tying it down at 4. The central two stitches are worked in the same way with the smaller stitches inside the first pair as shown. Rococo stitch is a variation where six vertical threads are worked, three on either side.
This can be used to cover large areas but is unsuitable for a upholstery since it uses long stitches. Long threads are laid diagonally across the area only entering the fabric at both ends. These stitches must cross thread intersections over their whole length. The laid threads are then crossed at right angles by groups of three diagonal stitches arranged as shown.
