This method is commonly employed in various crafts, including cross-stitch and needlepoint, to fill in areas with color or texture. The square stitch can be executed in different sizes and colors, allowing for creative designs. It is particularly popular in quilt-making and tapestry work, where it adds visual interest and structure. Mastering this stitch can enhance one's skills in various textile arts.
