Pulled thread: cobbler stitch and alternately set four-sided stitch

Cobbler stitch. This is done on burlap for lack of a better loosely-woven material. Burlap is not even-weave, so the openings with the crosses are a bit elongated. Also, each wrap is done twice because once just doesn't pull burlap tightly enough.

Below: Alternately set four-sided stitches: same as regular four-sided stitch, but set one-half off. I like this, but it's hard to do.
