Cross stitch requires only a few basic materials: fabric, needles, thread, and scissors. It is a relatively inexpensive craft to get started with; however, you may feel overwhelmed by choices when picking out your first materials. Here, we will discuss the basics you need to get started. Some examples of completed stitches shown throughout the book use different materials, framing, or mounting. These advanced techniques will be elaborated on where possible.

Thread The most well-known manufacturer of embroidery thread is DMC. As such, the numbers included with the patterns in this book correspond to DMC brand colors. However, you can use any colored embroidery thread that is available to you. You can either pick colors out yourself based on the colored blocks of the pattern, or use an online conversion chart to convert DMC numbers to other brands such as Anchor or Cosmo. Each skein contains enough thread to make around 2000 stitches, so unless you’re working on a huge design, you’ll only need one skein of each color listed in your pattern; you can store the leftover thread for future projects. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could even swap out colors in a design to make something new (what if Abigail had green hair?) or substitute a metallic thread for some added flair (do Junimos sparkle?). There’s even glow-in-the-dark thread!

Fabric There are many different types of fabric to choose from, but 14 count Aida is the most common. It should be easily found in the embroidery section of most craft stores, and is typically what is included in kits. Most Aida today has a stiffening agent applied to it in production to keep the holes open and easy to stitch through, making it perfect for beginners. 14 count refers to the number of squares (or stitches) in an inch of fabric. To determine the size of the finished cross stitch, check your pattern for the total length and width of the design, and convert it to inches based on the fabric count. For example, a design that is 56 stitches wide and tall will be 4 inches by 4 inches on 14 count fabric. On 20 count fabric, the same design will be 2.8 inches by 2.8 inches. Remember to leave a few extra inches around the edge of the design if you’re planning to frame it or sew it onto something else.

Needles If you already have sewing needles on hand from other crafts, you can use whichever one you’re most comfortable with. If you’re not sure, the needle most commonly included in kits is a size 24 tapestry needle; it has a larger eye for easier threading, and its blunt tip makes accidental finger pricks less common. Aida cloth has premade holes, so you don’t need your needle to be sharp in order to easily go through the fabric.

Scissors Any cutting device or regular scissors will work in a pinch. You don’t need fancy embroidery scissors or fabric scissors. You just need to be able to cut your fabric to size, and to cleanly cut a piece of thread.

Embroidery Hoop (Optional) Using a hoop when stitching is a highly debated topic. Most store-bought kits don’t include one, and if you’re making small items or working with inflexible material such as plastic canvas or leather, you can’t use one anyway. If you are working with fabric and the design is larger than a standard hoop, it is up to you to decide whether you want to use one while stitching. It will keep your fabric taut and will help keep your stitches even. For many, it’s simply easier to hold a hoop than a bunch of fabric. Regardless of whether you decide to stitch with one or not, they’re also great alternatives to framing your finished project. Hoops come in wood or plastic, and in various colors and sizes. There are also alternatives to hoops such as PVC frames and scroll frames that you may want to research if you find yourself working on a large design in the future.

Threading your needle The most common mistake new stitchers make is to use too much thread. Specifically, beginners tend to use too long a length of thread or too many strands of thread. You’ll want to cut a length of thread no longer than your forearm; if your thread is too long, it will twist as you stitch and will knot easily.

There is no right or wrong way to cross stitch, as long as you end up with X-shaped stitches. Every stitcher tends to stitch slightly differently as they get into a routine, and that routine can change depending on the project. This book will outline basic methods for cross stitching, but don’t be afraid to try something else if it makes sense to you. If you dive into the online cross stitch community, you’ll also learn a variety of other methods and tricks for stitching.

Where to start Most stitchers recommend starting at the center of your design. This ensures that the design is properly centered on the fabric and that you won’t run out of room. To find the center of your fabric, simply fold it in half vertically, then again horizontally. You can mark the center point with a pin or light pencil mark to make it easy to find. Now, find the center of your pattern. In this book, it should be marked clearly with arrows. Pick a symbol that appears near the center of the design and find the corresponding color on the chart. This is the color you’ll be starting with.

Now, take a close look at the end of your thread. You’ll notice the thread is made up of six different strands. For most fabrics, you’ll want to use only two strands. Carefully grasp two of the strands and start pulling them away from the rest. Take your time and try not to force it, or you’ll end up with knots. Use those two strands to thread your needle. If you’re not experienced with threading needles and are having trouble, you can use a needle threader or a needle with a larger eye.

The first stitch You’re going to be making an X out of thread on your fabric matching the color represented by each symbol on the pattern. Each stitch in your pattern will be placed in relation to the last, and stitches will share fabric holes with the stitches around them.

When you’re just starting out, don’t fret too much about what your stitches look like, what the back of your fabric looks like, whether you’re using a hoop or just stitching in hand. Everyone stitches differently, and skill will come in time! It’s important for you to just relax and learn the basics; you can sort all that other stuff out later.

To start, pick a square near the center of your project. Bring the needle up from under the fabric using the hole in the lower left corner of the square. Don’t pull it through all the way; leave about a 1-inch tail on the back. Push the needle back down through the upper right corner of your square. You should have a / shaped stitch. Now bring the needle up through the lower right corner of the square and back down through the upper left to complete the X.

You could also make the \ stitch first, and then cross it with a /. It’s a matter of preference. However, it’s generally recommended you make all your stitches the same way throughout your design. So whichever way you do it, try to be consistent!
