...if its the same on the front of the work then what is really the difference? How the back looks when completed? I only really pay attention to the back of the work so as not to make one area too bumpy from running too many threads underneath the same set of stitches. Otherwise it doesn't matter to me because no one ever sees that part anyway!
I think most do it just to cut the stitching time down. If it is on 25 or 28 count and you use 2 strands you get full coverage with just the half cross.
On the front a tent stitch looks like /////// instead of XXXXXXX. Like the other user said, on a 25 or higher count going at least 2 over 1 the coverage is good. I am tent stitching 2 over 1 on 25 count on a HAED right now and am happy with how it looks. The stitches are so small anyway.
