WHAT DOES TENT STITCH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

tent stitch

Tent stitch

Tent stitch is a small, diagonal needlepoint stitch that crosses over the intersection of one horizontal and one vertical thread of needlepoint canvas forming a slanted stitch at a 45-degree angle. It is also known as Needlepoint stitch and is one of the most basic and versatile stitches used in Needlepoint and other Canvas work embroidery. When worked on fine weave canvas over a single warp and weft thread it is known as Petit point in contrast to stitches, such as Gobelin, worked over multiple warp and/or weft threads. "Petit point" comes from the French language, meaning “small point”.
