Download or read book Easy Cross Stitch for Starters written by Dr Raphael Taylor and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-24 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cross stitch is one of the most popular forms of embroidery - so popular that every craft store sells materials devoted to this. The gist of cross stitching is that you will do X-shaped stitches within a certain equal width of a number of warp and weft fabric threads to form a bitmap. Cross stitch is used to decorate items like liners, placemats, coasters, pillows, among others. It is also used to embellish clothing like those of the traditional costumes of Central and Eastern Europe. Cross stitch works that resemble paintings (which are framed and hung on the wall) were a later development to this art form. Cross stitch can also be incorporated with other forms of embroidery like the typical crewel embroidery and also needlepoint.
