What is it used for?

Simple repeating cross stitch, identical to cross stitch on fabric, suitable for simple details (such as eyes), lines and outlines and also for pictorial and geometric designs on small and large areas, forms a very dense and strong fabric. Make sure that all the top stitches of the crosses are in the same direction: usually from the lower left to the upper right, as in this case.

How do you do that?

Fig. A: Pull the needle out at 1, slip it in at 2, one intersection above and to the left, pull it out at 3, one thread below 2. Slip it in at 4, one thread above 1. Notice how the upper end of the cross is formed from the lower left to the upper right. This is the direction most often used.

Fig. B: Notice how the upper edge of the cross is formed from the lower left to the upper right. This is the direction most often used.
