Cross Stitch 123, the Principles of Cross Stitch Made Easy

Cross stitch 123 explained is simply making a series of crosses or "x's" by following a pattern to form a pictorial design. Once you've mastered it, cross stitch can be as simple as 123, or difficult depending on the complexity of the pattern. If you are a beginner just starting out, it is best to start with simple patterns with less color changes and gradually work your way up to advanced patterns with advanced stitching techniques and many color changes. It is also wise to start out using Aida cloth as the cloth is easy to use since the strands have already been bunched and divided into squares making it easy to discern where to place your needle to Astitchworks.
 
A good tool to use is a guide I came across called Cross Stitch Made Easy by Janis Applegate for those of you who want to learn to cross stitch. The guide is one of the most thorough books of instruction I have ever encountered. It takes you from the beginning phase of stitching to the point where you will feel very confident about tackling any project. The book is loaded with tidbits and helpful hints all from an experienced stitcher's perspective, and one who loves the art of stitching and has made it her life long career. The following is an excerpt from the book, Cross Stitch Made Easy by Janis Applegate. Here is what you will learn:
 
1. "How to avoid the six costly mistakes made by beginners. Once you know what they are, you'll develop the confidence of a cross stitch master.
 
2. How to easily master the five fundamental cross "stitches" and ensure every project you create is unique!
 
3. Learn three amazingly simple methods used by the professionals for starting, joining, and finishing stitches.
 
4. Save time and money - don't buy any equipment until you've checked the comprehensive cross stitch tools guide listed in the book.
 
5. How to quickly and easily add the most decorative gorgeous touches to your design.
 
6. Discover four essential framing techniques to guarantee that "professional" look."
 
The book is easy to read, highly informative, loaded with illustrations, diagrams, and is definitely a valuable source you will treasure and want to keep in your library and/or pass along to others who are thinking of taking up the needle. The book is also used by advanced stitchers because there is a lot to learn, even for the advanced.
 
For instance, blocking and lacing a project is something cross stitchers normally save for the professionals who are going to frame their projects. However, the author explains the technique of blocking and finishing so well, that there is no reason why you won't be able to do this on your own rather than pay someone else to do it.
