It is a creative filling stitch often used for leaves and petals in the
traditional embroidery. It is versatile enough to insert beads and
sequins. This stitch is worked from left to right, along two parallel
lines. Bring the needle to the right of the center. With the needle
pointing inwards, insert the needle onto the design line at the left,
and bring out to the left of the center. The thread has to be kept under
the needle. Now insert the needle on the design line at the right,
bringing it up to the right of the centre. Continue till the area is
filled. These lines when kept at equal distance give a neat look.
