This will create a glowing stitch effect. It looks very nice in banners.
1. Start a new image. I made my image 640x480.
2. With black as the foreground, white as the background, go to Filter > Render > Clouds.
3. Filter > Brush Strokes > Crosshatch ( Stroke Length - 41, Sharpness - 13, Strength - 3 ).
4. Filter > Brush Strokes > Ink Outlines (Stroke Length - 38, Dark Intensity - 50, White Intensity - 23 ).
5. Filter > Sketch > Water Paper ( Fibers - 15, Brightness - 60, Contrast - 45 ).
6. Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation.
7. Duplicate that layer and set the blending mode to overlay.
Voila, you're done! The cropped image is in the attachments.
