Bargello is a style of needlepoint stitching in which designs are made by arranging upright flat stitches in a mathematical arrangement. The term "flame stitch" refers to a pattern on a group of chairs that may be seen at Florence's Bargello palace. Wool was traditionally used to stitch Bargello onto canvas. This type of embroidery is incredibly robust. Although it is not recommended for use on clothing, it works great on cushions, upholstery, and even carpets. The majority of traditional items include just vertical stitches that cross two or more threads.
