Cross stitch
Does anyone here do cross stitch? If so I have a question, Iam using 16 count adia, do I stitch over one or two
Thank you Pat |
Hi Pat, I love cross-stitch!
For 16 count Aida I stitch over 1. I only stitch over 2 for the really high thread counts. What are you making? |

Pat, I've used linen and aida mostly. Nowadays the high thread counts are harder on my eyes but I love the way it looks. When I use the higher counts I go over 2 threads- anything over 18.
I have a sampler I did in the 80's from 28 count Linda- I could never do that now! :) I hope you show your project when you get it finished. I find cross-stitch relaxing, like quilting. |
Pat, I just googled your pattern. I love it!!!!!!!!!

That site has wonderful patterns, I have book marked it. Thank you.

I love counted cross stitch and have some pictures I want to do, just haven't. I have a magnifying mirror that hangs around my neck so I can see the little holes easier.
