This is an interesting stitch that can be used for fillings. It uses parallel rows of chevron stitches and adds texture to the filled motif. This stitch allows you to experiment widely with colors. For instance, you can use a different color for each row of the chevron stitch.

Thanks for all the patience, and sorry for the delay!
