What is the proper way to do cross stitch, stitches in embroidery?
I am working on quilt blocks. They are all done in cross stitch on poly cotton fabric. I was wanting to know what is the proper way of doing the stitches? Does it really matter if the stitches all meet at the points? Am looking for everyones input . Thank You.
There are two basic ways of working a cross stitch. One is to work each stitch individually, first / then . Then the next stitch: / then .
The other way is to do a whole row of ////////// and then travel back crossing them: \\\\\. Either works, either is successful, either is correct. You can also do rows vertically instead of horizontally. The back looks better if you choose one method or the other and stick to it. Neat backs are prized by embroiderers.
The most formal way of working cross stitch is to have all the stitches meet at the points, as you say. Some people prefer to work in a more informal style that does not have the crosses touch at the corners -- I think it looks goofy, as rows of cross stitches are pretty formal by nature.
