About Cross Stitch:

Cross-stitch is one of the easiest and most interesting forms of stitching because you're working on a grid (the material) and it's kind of like connect-the-dots. Indeed, cross stitch is one of the earliest embroidery stitches known to man and beautiful examples of the stitch can be found throughout the world from Europe to the Americas.

• Believe it or not, during the first half of the last century, hand embroidery was a popular leisure pastime for many women and this hobby occupied many hours of spare time in the days before television. Sun and moon cross stitch is easy to learn and requires only a few supplies as it is based on the simple action of crossing one thread against the other. This action in stitching has been used around the globe since the beginning of textile history.

How to Finish Counted Cross Stitch:

• Step One: Start from the top left of the stitch, then bring the needle through from the bottom, holding the tail at the back of the thread. Leave about an inch (2.5 cm) on the back for an anchor if not using the loop start method
• Step Two: Bring the thread down to the lower right corner
• Step Three: Then back up through the upper right and down through the lower left, forming an X. Each time you should pull the thread all the way through so that it is flush with the fabric surface
• Step Four: Start your next stitch so it uses two of the same holes as the picture
• Step Five: Repeat, making sure your stitches overlap your anchor thread on the back of the fabric
