LESSON 69: 2 x 1 Diagonal Stretched Arm Cross Stitch

2 x 1 Diagonal Stretched Arm Cross Stitch Tutorial:

We present you the tutorial for the 2 x 1 diagonal stretched arm cross stitch. A very original stitch.

It can also be embroidered in the same color of the fabric or different depending on the final effect we want to achieve.

In fig. A, we sew from bottom to top and right wing. They are two points up diagonally and to the right and one point wide.

Fig. B: We embroider backwards in 2 x 1 down and to the left. It is a point based on the very original cross stitch. Test it!

From here we invite you to try it and you will be surprised by the effect. I encourage you to try and you will love it.

Follow the tutorial step by step and you will see how while you are sewing you can think of other ways to make other stitches, even combined with all the ones that I am putting here. You can use it both in borders, as in curtains, sheets, towels etc. or as a simple ornament point in one of your paintings. It is best to follow the video step by step here:

Materials

• You need a blunt needle. In your trusted haberdashery they can advise you on this.
• Thimble, we know that it is not easy to get used to it, but the earlier you adapt, the better, you will avoid many punctures.
• Special pearl or mouliné thread. Or you can also use fine crochet yarn
• Frame, there are made of wood, plastic and silicone. Lately I spend the silicone ones because I like them better, but that goes to taste.
• Light, the more the better and to be able to be natural
