Cross stitch is making a comeback among modern makers and crafters. Learning how to cross stitch is easy, and these cross stitch instructions for beginners will get you stitching in no time! Cross stitch is a form of counted thread embroidery that has been around for ages, and it is one of the easiest forms of hand embroidery to learn. Cross stitch is comprised of X-shaped stitches done on fabric with an even and open weave like Aida or linen.

Designs can be traditional or modern or anywhere in between. Cross stitch projects are often sold as kits, but you can also purchase basic supplies and come up with your own project. Either way, follow these steps to learn the basics of cross stitch.

A cross stitch chart tells you everything you need to know about where to stitch and what color to use. The grid on a cross stitch chart corresponds to the grid created by the weave of the fabric, and each colored square on the chart represents a cross stitch. A combination of colors and symbols in the squares (or symbols only if the chart is black-and-white) tell you which color of floss to use.

Use the chart legend to map the symbols to the floss colors. When you begin a new cross stitch project, it is a good idea to start stitching in the middle of the design. That way you make sure your design is centered in the fabric. Small arrows at the edges of a cross stitch chart indicate the center points. Take a look at your chart and find an area close to the center to start with.

It can be easier to start with a large block of color instead of part of the pattern that changes color frequently. Cross stitch can be done on a number of different fabrics, but the most common are Aida and linen. Both are woven fabrics that have a tendency to fray when cut.

Before you start stitching, it is a good idea to bind the edges particularly if you are stitching a large project that will require lots of handling. To minimize fraying, sew the edges with a zig-zag stitch or use a serger if you have one.   If you don’t want to sew the edges, you can also bind them with masking tape.  

To find the center of your fabric, fold it in half one way and then fold it in half the other way. You can place a pin in the center or make a small stitch to further mark the center point. There are lots of different styles of embroidery hoops and frames available. Beginning stitchers may find it easier to put their fabric in an embroidery hoop.

To use a hoop, first loosen the screw and separate the two rounds. Place the round without the screw flat on a table or work surface. Lay the fabric over the hoop making sure the center of the fabric is in the center of the hoop.

Place the other round over the fabric and press it down so the fabric is sandwiched between the two hoops. Gently pull the fabric taut as you tighten the screw on the hoop. Don’t pull the fabric too tight or it will distort the weave of the fabric. Pick the color of floss you are starting with and cut a length about 18 inches long. If you go much longer than this, the thread is more likely to get knotted when you stitch. Most embroidery floss is made up of six strands of thread twisted together. Depending on the fabric you are using, you will typically stitch with only one or two strands at a time.

To separate out a strand, hold the floss with one hand and pinch the end of one strand with the other. Gently and slowly pull the strand up and out until it is separated from the remaining strands. Pulling multiple strands may cause the floss to knot.
