Plastic Canvas-Stitches

Tent stitch 
This is the basic stitch that is used on most patterns. It is used to fill the canvas. The stitch with slight variations are also known as Continental, Half cross and Basket weave stitch.  Start the stitching by leaving about 1" tail of yarn on the back side and bring the threaded needle up at 1 and all odd numbers and down at 2 and all even numbers. All stitches are done in this left to right manner. This stitch is worked in horizontal or vertical rows as per instruction.

Overcast Stitch
This stitch is used to finish off the unstitched edge of a project. This stitch covers the edge of the canvas and also is used to join pieces of canvas. It may be necessary to go through the same hole more than once to get an even coverage on the edge, especially at the corners.  When two pieces of a pattern has to be joined, place them back to back (with the wrong sides or the right sides together). Make sure the edges being joined are even and do the overcast stitches where they should be joined.

Scotch Stitch
This stitch forms a square. It may be worked over three or more horizontal lines or holes of the canvas by three or more vertical lines or holes of the canvas, to form a square. The  figure shows the stitch worked over three lines or holes of the canvas.
