A stitch is worked on the fabric for each symbol shown on the chart.
Each square on the chart represents a square on the fabric. Choose the option that is most comfortable for you.Cross Stitch Charts:Each design has a chart with a grid similar to graph paper. Some stitchers prefer simply holding the fabric. Hoops come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are made from many different materials.
Using a hoop helps keep the fabric taut, making it easier to put the needle in the fabric holes and crating neater stitches. (The larger the number, the thinner the needle.)Cross Stitch Hoops:Cross stitch can be worked with or without a hoop. Look for tapestry needles in size 24 or 26. The blunt tips allow the needles to slip easily through the holes in the fabric, and the large eyes make it easier to thread several strands of floss. After cutting a length of floss, separate the strands, and then realign the correct number of strands before threading the needle.Cross Stitch Needles:Cross stitch is worked with tapestry needles. Most charts tell you how many strands to use for the best coverage. The number of strands you will use depends on the count of your fabric. Strands of Thread:Embroidery floss consists of six strands of thread twisted together. If your pattern calls for a brand of floss not available in your area, conversion charts, which give the closest color substitution in another brand, are available on the internet. Each color is identified by a number that varies by brand. Keep the edges from fraying by zigzagging around the edges or using a fray preventative.DMC Floss:Embroidery floss is available in different colors and brands. Aida is the fabric type and 14 refers to the count or the number of squares per inch.Preparing the Fabric:Before cutting the fabric, add at least six inches to the design size to allow room for framing and finishing. The higher the count, the smaller the finished design will be.14 count aida cloth is one of the most popular cross stitch fabrics and is excellent for beginners.
