LESSON 104: CROSS POINT IN ZIGZAG

Tutorial for zigzag cross stitch:

With this tutorial for elongated cross stitch, we show you again that what you knew as normal cross stitch has many more varieties, and this is one more. With this new point you will discover a fantasy point that you will love.

This stitch is used in a row or decorative edging. It can be used as a fill if the lines are worked very close to each other. It is recommended to mark the plain fabric with two parallel lines. This stitch is worked in two passes.

Fig. A: Work the first pass from right to left. Take the needle out at 1, put it in 2, take it out at 1, put it in at 3 and take it out at 4. Begin the next repetition by inserting the needle at 3. Repeat the steps and end with a vertical stitch to the left.

Fig. B: Work the second pass from left to right. Take out the needle at 5, put it in 7 and take it out at 8.

Repeat the movements, bending each vertical and crossing each slant point.

Materials

• You need a sharp pointed 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 thread for sewing. Or you can also use fine crochet yarn if it is to decorate something
• 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
