1. The Rhodes stitch is an overlapping stitch that creates a raised center. To start, make a straight stitch across the center of the shape.
2. Next, bring the needle up next to the start of the first stitch. Then stitch across the straight line, bringing the needle down on the other side of the stitch.
3. Continue stitching from one side of the shape to the other, overlapping the stitches until the shape is filled.
