Stitch Help Needed

Libramiss

I'm  about to stitch a sampler pre-printed (the easy bit ;Pl) it's an American sampler and some of the terminology has me stumped :L Can anyone help in an explanation of the stitches and how to do them (picture diagram instructions are not very clear due to age of item) they are Solid Stitch and Outline Stitch, I'm sure they probably are very easy but I've never ventured anything like this before only ever stitched cross stitch on aida.

Thanks in anticipation of your replies :handshake

Outline stitch is usually backstitch.  Not sure what a solid stitch is, sorry :)

Do you have a picture you can share?   It could be satin stitch which gives full coverage over the fabric,  but I won't be able to tell without a picture.

i agree, outline stitch is backstitch and usually used 1 less strand of thread than regular X stitch.
solid stitch may just be the X stitch... :)
good luck

Thank you, will try and take a pic in the hope you or somebody can assist.
I've managed to find outline stitch on you tube, it doesn't look too daunting I just need to take my time,so now its only solid stitch that is bugging me.

Thanks again

Well thanks to those who replied after much searching on the web I came across a blog by an American lady who had done similar work and messaged her, she has replied saying the mysterious stitch is similar to Japanese Stitch and sent me a diagram to explain.
Thanks again

Strange terminology. I'm American and have never heard of outline and solid stitches. I would have assumed like most above that back stitch and satin stitch were meant. Always learning something new in needlework.

Thank you for your response ..... I've been told that these are terms used around the 50's and rightly so today it's most likely they've been re-named, as you say welearn something new everyday  :D
