Where was cross stitch invented?
I make coasters and greeting cards using cross-stitch inserts. Cross stitch is commonly used to decorate baby clothing, such a bibs and quilts. It is also used extensively on women's clothing on collars, sleeves, and necklines. Cross stitching is often used to accentuate seams on slacks and vests. An over-all cross stitch pattern is used to decorate placemats, table cloths, and bedspreads, and cross stitch wall hangings. It is also very popular on Christmas stockings and to accent gift items. Counted cross stitch has been around for centuries and young girls in the early 1800's used linen and thread to create samplers of words and sayings. There are samplers from young girls as young as eight or ten that are surfacing at antique auctions and drawing big bucks. Cross Stitch can be either counted (where you use a paper pattern and count the stitches onto Aida or Linens) or stamped cross stitch meaning it is stamped on a fabric and you stitch over the inked area.

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.
