The term Algerian filling stitch is sometimes, in the case of free-style embroidery, used as a synonym for the long and short stitch. In canvas work, the term is often used for blocks of two or more vertically worked stitches over four threads, and with a second block being worked two threads up (or down), thus creating a staggered pattern.
