The padded blanket stitch (or padded buttonhole stitch) is a composite stitch made up of a series of randomly placed filling stitches, which are then covered with either buttonhole stitches or blanket stitches. If the buttonhole stitches are placed close together this may be called a padded buttonhole stitch. If they are widely spaced then it may be known as a padded blanket stitch.

The triple chain stitch is a variation on a detached chain stitch, in which the centrally placed chain stitch is held in place by two smaller chain stitches worked on either side of the apex of the main stitch. This type of stitch is associated with free-style embroidery, especially from the Arabian Peninsula.

The threaded herringbone stitch is a variation on the herringbone stitch, in which a second thread is threaded (laced) upwards and downwards through the foundation stitches (in this case the herringbone stitches). The threading yarn does not penetrate the ground material and is usually in a different colour from that used for the herringbone stitch.
