Alicia Lace Stitch

AKA:  Four-Way Continental

          Alternating Tent

Uses:  Clothes, Backgrounds, Animals. Small or larger areas

To work, start by creating diagonal lines on the canvas by making Back stitches. 

Each row should be worked from the top of the canvas towards the bottom.

After the area is complete, work the fill-in rows like the first but this time, the stitches should slant in the opposite direction.
