Stitching over two
When stitching a design on an evenweave fabric, such as 28-count jobelan, work each cross stitch over two threads of the fabric. This means you should count across and up two holes instead of only one to make each half of the stitch. This will make your design come out the same size as it would on 14-count aida. Try counting 'one, two' each time you make a stitch until you get the hang of it. |
Stranded cotton
This is the most popular thread used for cross stitch and is sold as a skein. The thread is made up of six divisible strands. Pull out one, two or more strands to stitch a design, as directed in the key. |
