Robert Kemp Philp6621911. Stitches in Canvas Work. There are five kinds of stitch used in canvas work--Cross Stitch, Tent Stitch, Tapestry Stitch, German Stitch, and Irish Stitch. 1912. Cross Stitch. Cross stitch is generally known. The needle is brought up in one pole of the canvas and down on another, two threads higher and more to the right. The slanting thread is then crossed in the opposite direction. A cross-stitch covers two threads in each direction. 1913. Tent Stitch. Tent stitch occupies one-fourth the space of cross-stitch. It is taken from one hole to the next above, and on the right hand side of a previous stitch.
