 INSTRUCTIONS FOR CROSS STITCH

1. Always begin stitching from the Centre of
your design and work outwards.
2. First find the Centre of your fabric by
folding it in half lengthwise and
crosswise. Mark the Centre point where
the two fold lines meet with a pin. The
arrows on your chart correspond to the
fold lines on your fabric.
3. Now find the Centre square at the Centre
of your Chart. The position of the Centre
square corresponds to the position of your
pin. Begin stitching from the Centre point.
4. When you look closely at your fabric you
can see it is made up of small squares.
Each square on your Fabric represents a
Square on your Chart. You will stitch one
cross stitch over each square on your
fabric. The different Symbols show you
the correct colour to use in each square.
5. To begin stitching, first thread your
needle with 2 (or sometimes 3) strands of
cotton.
6. When making your first few stitches
remember to leave a 2 cm ‘tail’ at the
back of your work. Hold this ‘tail’ so that
your first few stitches are worked over it.
This secures your thread evenly. Never tie
a knot in your thread. Follow the Cross
Stitch Instructions.
7. Cross stitch is worked in rows of even,
slanted stitches, usually from left to right
laying down half the crosses, then back
from right to left to complete them. Note
the top stitch must always be slanted the
same way. When stitching try to keep the
tension of your thread even and do not
pull too tight. It is often easier to sew your
design using an embroidery hoop to hold
the material.

CROSS STITCH - INDIVIDUAL

An individual cross stitch is worked in the same sequence as a
row of cross stitch. Bring the needle out at 1 and insert at 2,
completing half the cross stitch. Then, bring it out at 3, directly
below 2 and insert the needle at 4, above 1. Your individual cross
stitch is complete.

CROSS STITCH - ROW

Bring the needle out at 1, insert at 2 and out again at 3. Continue
this process until the desired number of stitches is completed for
that row.
At the end of the row, work back, bringing the needle out at 4,
inserting at 5 and out again at 6.

FINISHING OFF
To finish off your thread run the needle through the back of four
or five stitches and trim the thread close to the cloth.

Should work become soiled, handwash in cold water with mild

soap. Rinse well and dry flat in shade. Do not wring. Press from
the back with a warm iron.
