Simple Steps to Start Cross Stitching
1. Preparations:
Begin by separating the six strands of cotton to the required thickness for stitching. Refer to the color key in your chart to match the correct thread color with each symbol. Start your design from the center of your fabric to ensure it fits perfectly. Find the center by folding the fabric into quarters, aligning it with the center marked on your chart.
2. Stitching Technique:
Thread your needle, leaving a short tail at the back of the fabric. Secure this tail with your initial stitches. To switch colors, weave the new thread through the existing stitches on the back. Securely finish each color by tucking the thread under completed stitches.
3. Variations:
Experiment with different stitching techniques. Create single or rows of cross stitches, half cross stitches, and back stitches, which add depth and detail to your project.
