The procedure when making the Open Back stitch is exactly the same as for Hoshidome Stitch, apart from the length of each individual stitch. The former is longer, like the basic Running Stitch, whereas the latter is just a small dot. Compare:
Hoshidome Stitch
Open Back Stitch
Here it is on
Aida Sampler
Mottled Wool Scribble Cloth
The pro is that it is far sturdier than the Running Stitch, the con, that is uses up a lot of thread.

A useful thing to know, before embarking on a round of Thread Chicken!
If you'd not said it was open back stitch I would have thought it was running stitch.
It’s good to compare how the stitch looks on the different types of fabric.
Yes, I see the difference. More scattered jewels.
Great colour choices on the wool cloth. Looks good!
I want to accept the strengths, so I close my eyes to the weaknesses.😉
