Tied Scotch Stitch is a great variation on a regular Scotch Stitch. It can be used for borders or any 3 x 3 canvas thread square. 

If you take a look at the diagram above, you will see that the tie stitch angles towards the upper left (in the opposite direction than the other three stitches). This can be done in the same thread or in a different thread for even more texture.
Try doing this stitch in a combination of Pepper Pot Silk and Neon Rays Plus for the tied stitch. 


This stitch is done in Pepper Pot and Neon Rays Plus.
