Tent stitch article
editI have created this page to try and clear up some of the ambiguities regarding the various types of tent stitch. I am not a needlepointer so would welcome any input from someone more knowledgeable on whether I have got the terminology correct. I have researched various sources on the Internet and used a couple of stitch encyclopedias to try and clear up all the meanings of basketweave, continental, half cross and tent stitch as well as needlepoint stitch and petit point, all of which I found very confusing to start with! I hope this proves useful to the stitching community. Any comments or further discussion most welcome! --Velvet-Glove 17:04, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
There seems to be rather heated discussion about the Continental Tent Stitch and Half cross tent stitch: "The illustration at right is NOT correct..." I don't know anything about these stitches, but maybe someone could figure out the correct stitch, see if the images match, and remove inflammatory text. --Elizard16 (talk) 15:22, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
I was confused. Apparently the contributor who revised the partly faulty illustration of the "continental" stitch made it into another illustration of the half cross. I have fixed the diagram, now showing the continental stitch. Stefkar (talk) 15:58, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
