The fabric patch in this detail is a loosely woven fabric, I took advantage of how easy threads are to pull out of loosely woven fabrics and created a fringe at the edge of the patch.
I started by stitching the fabric flat about 3/4inch from the edge and covered the machine stitching with a row of chain stitch I then pulled the threads out back to the stitching line.
To finish the fringe I divided the threads into bundles and used a matching thread to stitch them onto the background.
I further embellished this patch with threads laid in a grid on top of the fabric and held in place with a small cross stitch at each intersection.

Anne,
What is the stitch to the left? That is wonderful and I would love to give it a try. Can you give instruction? =)
