A common way of making the net entails passing a thread, which is wound on an elongated shuttle, over a mesh stick or gauge that governs the size of the mesh, and into a previously created square or diamond; a knot similar to a fisherman's knot is tied holds the thread in place. The embroidery applied on the net may employ a variety of stitches, often including a darning stitch and fillings. The term derives from the French "filet," meaning "network." ]]></note></mads>
