Cushion Stitch
Example of a series of alternating Scotch stitches.
Also known as the Scotch or Scottish stitch, this technique is basically a stitch formation and a form of diagonal stitch. It is formed by a series of straight stitches of varying lengths worked diagonally across the ground material, thus forming a square. An alternating or reversed cushion stitch is comparable, but the diagonal stitches are worked in alternating directions.
