Hand Embroidery Stitch

Cross Stitich is one type of embroidery that uses cross stitches (forming the letter X)

on woven fabrics parallel. The stitching technique forms the letter X called cross stitch (cross stitch),

so kruistik is popularly known as "cross stitch".

Crewistic products in the form of embroidered images for clothing decorations, home furnishings,

or wall decoration. Crew design drawings can be copied from books containing patterns of motifs or the results of their own designs.

The thread used is embroidery thread from cotton or rayon.

The needle for crew is a blunt tapestry needle with large needle eyes so that several threads can be passed at once.

Fabric for crew is cloth that has boxes (holes) in the same size, horizontal or vertical.

Therefore, the stitches look like square patterns of the same size.

The types of fabrics that are common to crew are strimin fabrics, aida fabrics, and linen fabrics.

Aida fabrics have counted boxes per inch: 8, 11, 14, 16, and 18 boxes per inch.

One box means one stitch that forms the letter X. The number of strands of thread for one stitch depends on the size of the fabric and taste. Cross stitch on

aida fabric 11 boxes per inch, for example, uses 3 strands of yarn, while in aida cloth 14 uses 2 threads.
