Stitch Help Needed

I'mabout to stitch a sampler pre-printed (the easy bit ;Pl) it's an American sampler and some of the terminology has me stumped :L Can anyone help in an explanation of the stitches and how to do them (picture diagram instructions are not very clear due to age of item) they are Solid Stitch and Outline Stitch, I'm sure they probably are very easy but I've never ventured anything like this before only ever stitched cross stitch on aida.

Thanks in anticipation of your replies :handshake

Outline stitch is usually backstitch.Not sure what a solid stitch is, sorry :)

CraftyLouAnna Publish time 2014-10-7 08:45

Do you have a picture you can share?   It could be satin stitch which gives full coverage over the fabric,but I won't be able to tell without a picture.

i agree, outline stitch is backstitch and usually used 1 less strand of thread than regular X stitch.
solid stitch may just be the X stitch... :)
good luck
