Cross stitching involved creating designs using six strand embroidery floss. Determine where on the pattern you want to begin. The patterns are usually color coded so you will know which color thread to use. Thread the embroidery needle and knot the end. Then begin bringing the needle up from the back and back in again in a diagonal pattern.

What is cross stitching?
Cross-stitch is a popular form of counted-thread embroidery in which X-shaped stitches are used to form a picture. Cross-stitch is usually executed on easily countable evenweave fabric. The stitcher counts the threads in each direction so that the stitches are of uniform size and appearance. This form of cross-stitch is also called counted cross-stitch in order to distinguish it from other forms of cross-stitch. Sometimes cross-stitch is done on designs printed on the fabric (stamped cross-stitch); the stitcher simply stitches over the printed pattern.
