I promised a new canvas stitch and here is Canvas Stem Stitch, although it looks more like a Canvas Fly Stitch, wouldn't you say? I followed the instructions from The Embroidery Stitch Bible.
Work it like this:
Work Back Stitch between the slanted stitches.
For contrast change the colour,
or keep the same thread.
Continue to fill the canvas.
Alter the colours, if you like.
Homework:
There are four samplers to work on!

Looks like a great filler stitch.
It is a good filler stitch, although as you say, it doesn't look much like stem stitch to an embroiderer accustomed to surface embroidery!
Another beautiful sample and you do have a great selection of sample stitches in different weights of thread and various colors and ground fabrics. That's a treasure!
Another neat stitch. Looks like fly stitches standing in a row.
Ooh! Pretty!
