One counts the strings inside the area of the drawing. The strings are extracted both in the horizontal and in the diagonal. The holes created will be stitched by using the embroidery line.


Ana
This stitch is obtained by extracting the strings of the cloth and stitching only one side of the hole with the embroidery line.


Ladder Stitch
To obtain this stitch you extract the strings of the cloth and stitch the hole on both sides with the embroidery line.


Outline
This is a simple stitch that shares the same hole in which the previous stitch ends.


Atraz
TThis is the backside of the Outline Stitch.
