2 strands f floss over 1 strand of fabric thread.

A tent stitch is basically a half stitch but when you come back up the fabric you go the long way (hope that makes sense), if you do a normal half stitch it distorts the fabric to much. So going the long way helps keep the fabric taut. Tent stitching is also awesome because it goes twice as fast. I only do them with big projects with tiny stitches.

here is a pic up close of how they look



Here is a diagram of how to work the stitch

Tent stitches are typically used for gobelins that are stitched with pure new wool. Cross Stitch isnt very comfortable with this material because of the thickness. :D
